Input: [Date] 2 years 33 weeks ago [Body] Game attendance vs watching from home.. Game.. PSD Ticket $80.00 Parking $20.00 - $40.00 Gas $5.00 - $100.00 depending on driving.. I drive 8hrs round trip to attend 3 games a yr.... Food. ???? If you add it up it's about $300 to attend each game when adding everything in. Yeah you can get some ticket deals and lower that some but the reality is to see the games you want, it's getting expensive, and yet you are forced to see the low profile games at the same rate to get season tickets to see the higher profile games. And to make that worse our schedule is quite unbalanced, ND, Nebraska and Ohiost all either in Michigan or away...so one yr it's a great schedule and the next it sucks as only Msu is the big home game..... [Title]

Output: Why attend now


Input: [Date] 2 years 36 weeks ago [Body] from other sec coaches when he was hired......that should have told tennessee all they needed to know. Will be interesting to see who tennessee hires... I think they go after Kirby Smart........l [Title]

Output: dooley got the ringing endorsement


Input: [Date] 2 years 39 weeks ago [Body] Reader 71, you should post on gbmwolverine.com..... that sight actually appreciates and looks for input from posters that is insightfull. I had been posting all yr how our line is whiffing blocks and lbers are coming free....it didn't happen last yr and we ran the same scheme. Since the only losses on oline were Molk and Huyge where is the problem.... Imo it's Mealer not getting the calls right. But I also recall last yr the oline didn't take off until Barnum was injured and schofield moved to LG ........... Who knows but that is why I think Mealler is not getting the calls correct. Btw, big props to the posters negging the one poster who actually understands and explains line play on this board. I digress though , you guys all played oline, are schematical geniuses and reader 71 stayed at a holiday inn..... Now, if you all want to complain the play calling is way to conservative and predictable....I am on board cause I have called out our plays from the couch and in the stands and if I can, I know the defenses we play can. [Title]

Output: Reader71, thanks for the insight....


Input: [Date] 2 years 42 weeks ago [Body] But not that uptempo unless 2 minute drill........ Lots of teams did this with the option, they would wear teams out by just going and going and going...not as much as today where it was no huddle, line up and go...but I still remember some teams would just line up and run the same triple option and qb would make the call which option it would be and left or right.....power/weak, triple, speed, veer.......... [Title]

Output: have seen it..


Input: [Date] 2 years 43 weeks ago [Body] Neither has much merit. 1 Pennst isn't responsible for his legal fees if he went and hired his own attourney 2 Not interviewed for his old job. Did pennst hire a new qb coach or is the Head Coach or OC filling that role? I think the difference in performance thus far to date justifies not hiring him back.... [Title]

Output: both issues


Input: [Date] 2 years 45 weeks ago [Body] retards and mgobloggers are the only ones wanting the finer details......It's obvious beat writers know coaches evade questions that are direct about players and scheme....sure you get a nugget here or there but that is all.......you get some perspective but now information from coaches and that is what most beat writers shoot for since coaches will give the standard answers...... [Title]

Output: yes beat writers are all .


Input: [Date] 2 years 45 weeks ago [Body] Alabama landed 23 dlineman in the previous 4 classes... Michigan landed 12 and more then half of them are no longer on roster.....that should explain where the current status and difference is.......Also, the same with olineman, Alabama landed 24 olinemin in 4 classes Michigan 14 I believe and half of the olineman are gone.... You win being strong in the trenches, taking care of the football and athletes that can make things happen with the ball and on defense! [Title]

Output: Dline


Input: [Date] 2 years 47 weeks ago [Body] 91 Washington in the rosebowl is the best imo.............(but I preface that one because Steve Everrit didn't play and that messed up our oline) 91 Fsu, remember Grbac had 2 int's returned for td's... that's at least a 14pt swing given to fsu..... their offense was no more unstoppable then ours was. They had a slightly better defense...and didn't Lance Dottin miss that game as well... I know Everitt played with a broken jaw which was amazing... 2000 Orange Bowl... that team was tough...one of the most physical games I remember..Brady/Terrell was the difference 03/06 usc, I thought were great but when their program immediatly took a drop off after balco got exposed through the Ting Brothers there.... [Title]

Output: 91 Washington.....


Input: [Date] 2 years 47 weeks ago [Body] No, this game was lost regardless so let me say..... 1 Dirty hits were a joke... 2 steps from denard and dude lays him out...that's roughing the passer not called. 2 Lewan was hit after the play was over from behind on the play he got hurt on....yeah, that's efffing low and dirty.............. 3 Helmet to Helmet........ saw 3 of those that didn't get called....uhmm crable-smith anyone... 4 Lbers cannot jack a wr in route, that is a penalty and is included in the defenseless player, and yes at the beginning of the game one of the bama lbers jacked one of our wr's.....right infront of the middle ref behind the lbers... 5 Holding call on Lewan when Facemask was against bama joke... 6 Facemask by Barrett Jones, I wanna say on bigwill, nearly took his head off not called, most missed this but I know our staff will see it in tape....... 7 Lots of after the play action by the bama oline...........now some of it's football, but some of it is just low dirty play.......... there was more but I don't care to get into it..........Bama was the better team but the refs do need to make calls that are there, and know jacking a player helmet to helmet isn't just playing football, not when you are emphasizing protecting the players. [Title]

Output: calls are calls and refs have to make them....period


Input: [Date] 2 years 49 weeks ago [Body] Kerrigan, Claiborn, JJ Watt, Brandon Graham and Chris Jenkins. I don't think Laurinitis makes the list, for my money he was a chase down defender that was taken advantage of going right at him......those guys I am not a fan of....stat sheets look great but impact is minimal imo. [Title]

Output: my list goes ............


Input: [Date] 2 years 50 weeks ago [Body] I believe the staff is wanting to rs most of the fr dlineman, but it sucks cause he is going to have to spend this yr getting ready for next yr.... [Title]

Output: Get well soon


Input: [Date] 2 years 50 weeks ago [Body] don't know if denard could beat bolt or any other olympic sprinter in a 40, but I would love to see it. I agreed with the ascertion that by 60yds they would be pulling away and 100m there wouldn't have been a question. Honestly, I think Denard would be within a step or two in a 40 but still think Bolt takes 40, i'm thinking denard is underestimating how fast olympic sprinters get off the blocks. [Title]

Output: ummmm


Input: [Date] 2 years 50 weeks ago [Body] You spend your 20 grand or more, buy what you want. But keep in mind, you buy a jap model or korean and the profits go there even if the car is assembled in us. Same as you buy a ford/gm and the profits go to detroit, even if it's assembled in mexico or canada..... Next, negotiate your deal esp if you don't get a family discount but even if you do, negotiate a few things...... 1 Negotiate a rental/loaner car if for some reason your vehicle has any problems and has to be in the shop outside of routine maintenance...................you buy a ford/toyota/honda/chrysler/gm, it's not their fault your car had a problem and you didn't plan on being down a vehicle........and it's their job to honor the warranty, not give you another car...your dealer on the otherhand, you can negotiate that before you buy the car. 2 Don't tell the salesman your budget and monthly payment, you buy your car on what you can afford and stick to it. Do your research, know the dealer cost and negotiating room...don't listen to them when they tell you that info isn't right or they go by a black book instead of kelly bluebook or anything else, you go buy info you have and theirs is meaningless and you can walk, let them know you will walk... 3 Check financing options.....you can go through manufacturer credit, usually top option for 0% financing. But if you aren't check rates at your bank/credit union and compare to what the dealer has...he may give extra incentives on the purchase but only if you go through his bank to finance the vehicle, and that usually means higher interest rates then going rates... 4 Perceptions,,,,,,,ignore them......anyone on this board that hasn't bought an american car in the last 5yrs, ignore them, period. The entire industry has totally changed the last 10yrs completely....Toyota is not the same manufacturer they were 10yrs ago....their vehicles are not as reliable and the reliability ratings have been greatly misleading. Something people don't know is Toyota's board of directors were indicted for falsifying reliability reports in japan about 8yrs ago....here in the us they have hid and buried their problems till settling lawsuits in the billions to replace engines due to the sludge problem with oil......something I know for a fact they were blaming on owners till they were forced to replace those engines.....in the end they replaced millions of engines in the us that were sold over a 6 yr period earlier in the 2000's......... Toyota, Honda, Ford, Gm, all of the manufactuers now use the same quality control firms to evaluate their designs and parts. All of their parts suppliers supply the same parts to the other manufacturers. 5 Safety, Last thing on this..........I do own a fusion, and this car is flat out solid. In another post I stated my car was tboned bigtime and hit in the passenger side by a girl that ran a red light........I am telling you, I would't have trusted my inlaws accord, my old altima in that wreck and certainly not my buddies camery that seemingly has far chintzier interior then the camry's of the 80's and 90's when I thought the camry was a great car....still thought the accord was better car overall. Again, it's your purchase, but ignore perceptions, test drive what want......... [Title]

Output: tkriz, good post


Input: [Date] 2 years 50 weeks ago [Body] 03 altima, 07 fusion....both 4cylinders.......Altima slightly nicer interior, fusion better overall vehicle........fusion got tboned by a girl ran a redlight with my child in the passenger seat where the car was hit, other driver going over 45mph......daughter wasn't hurt...........I would never have trusted the altima to hold up to that accident......and the fusion wasn't totaled, the other drivers car was! Fusion is far more solid then the camry and accord..........inlaws have new accord, friends have camry.....I'd take my fusion over them every day of the week.......Seats are far more comfortable in the fusion, BTW, 100,000 on my 07 fusion, 2 wrecks, still going and not near the rattle trap my buddies camry is...and never a problem. Though he continues to tell me how great his camry is after having it repaired he will say if it were a ford it would have been in the shop more....I love the excuses for honda/toyota ......................perception is everything though.... [Title]

Output: Last 2 cars....


Input: [Date] 2 years 51 weeks ago [Body] That is the best way to sum up Rich's tenure. Couldn't get himself out of it for some reason. Rich handled Denard and Tate very well while here, but little else. [Title]

Output: RR, great coach stuck with tunnel vision while here.....


Input: [Date] 2 years 51 weeks ago [Body] When total change comes nobody is really happy save the ones that were disgruntled before. Nobody was disgruntled othern then Lloyd got complacent...they didn't want whole sale change they just wanted it updated and mondernized and back to a winner at the Michigan level. Rich, didn't handle media well, didn't handle players well and didn't handle the alumni/fanbase well. Ohio st isn't just another game on the schedule and lip service later means nothing to a fanbase when you say, it's still just another game on the schedule. The reality is Rich lost the job when he hired 4 defensive backs coaches to run his defense, lost all of the remaining offensive talent to nfl or transfer that could have helped him win in year one and made that even more devastating by firing his defensive coordinator to bring in someone else to work with a disgruntled defensive staff rather then let the dc he had get a staff he would work with. Rich is a good coach, nobody can deny that. He made many wrong and bad decisions here and the naysayers were there every step of the way to point them out. But the fact remains is Rich had he succeeded would have been loved and revered, instead he was ran out unceremoniously. [Title]

Output: Magnuson....


Input: [Date] 3 years 1 week ago [Body] Ummmmm first off the ncaa has no flipping right to punish pennst in this matter no matter how angry we are at what happened. Don't tell me about any moral clause in ncaa bylaws those are aimed at protecting athletes and you all know this. Pennst will get hammered and deservedly so by the dept of justice and dept of education for what happened and those responsible for enabling sandusky are going to prison, joepa aside and even he gets his sentence with his entire legacy in ashes now. So now the fact that the ncaa is jumping into this mess when they haven't been able to properly handle, auburn, ohiost, usc, north carolina, miami, oregon and others they want to deal the death blow to pennst for something completely out of their jurisdiction and not a single page in their bylaws about this..............................no it isn't pennst that should suffer the ncaa death penalty but the ncaa itself! [Title]

Output: Ncaa is bypassing it's own due processes


Input: [Date] 3 years 2 weeks ago [Body] The inestigation was worthless.....emails weren't released and findings were on interview conversations that weren't detailed, written down and released but very publically laid blame at joepas feet............ Joe is guilty, I'll say that........but the majority of guilt lies at the feet of the former president and head of campus police...........jmo, they did have the power to tell joe what was what..... I also feel it was all about protecting a life long friend and nothing to do with protecting football..... [Title]

Output: costas is another talking head....just like most talking heads


Input: [Date] 3 years 4 weeks ago [Body] Every person involved should and will pay for this through the justice dept! What part of that did you miss in my post? Second, what part of any ncaa rules against football were broken? You cannot seperate the two, I can. As for institutional control, nope, doesn't fit. The rules at present are around athletic cheating, academic cheating and recruiting cheating to gain a unfair advantage. Not failure to report something, of which there are rules by the dept of education for which pennst will be punished and lose millions perhaps 100's of millions. Destroy an institution, meaning pennst as a university, long established, will exist long after this. But some out of anger would destroy the institution over the cover up by a few people. The cover up, not the abuse...........cause they in fact are different crimes. And yes, the cover up is horendous, and they will be punished, they will go to jail for it. My point about going after every d1 program, it's pointing out solely that if the ncaa is going to make up rules to punish pennst then carry that banner to investigate every thing covered up by programs, every single program investigate because we all know things have been covered up and swept under the rug for the purpose of winning games. There is a diffence in what I say, if you cannot seperate them then I can't help you. I am as angered and outraged as anyone at what happened and all responsible parties should be punished for their part in enabling sandusky. But you don't change rules midstream for punishment, that is a dictatorship. So if the ncaa is going to change the rules out of anger at any point then go back and investigate everyone. Again, how many college girls get raped, given date rape drugs and colleges find nothing due to no evidence............how many had been raped by athletes decades ago and it was covered up by schools because of the big game to win next saturday............what, you want to tell me those things never happened or am I on the conspiracy theory......... Where did I once suggest the rapes of young boys by Jerry Sandusky be swept under the rug? Where did I once suggest those that covered this over should be let go and this be swept under the rug? I didn't, I stated they all should be punished to the degree of their crime. Pennst football program isn't on that list unless others decide the pennst football program committed a crime that isn't on the rule books. So suggesting I compare it to sweeping under the rug is sillly. I am saying if the ncaa is going to apply this to ncaa rules, quit being hypocrites about it and investigate every program for what has been covered up in the past and bring that to light. [Title]

Output: you read to much into every word


Input: [Date] 3 years 4 weeks ago [Body] Regarding ncaa rules and football how is it loic? There are no by-laws for this and you can't make them up midstream to punish pennst because you are angry. What pennst football player did this have to do with? What advantage was gained by pennst in football by this? What recruiting or practice rules were violated by it? That's the point, none and if the ncaa punishes the fb program it will have to make up rules to do so. Beyond that pennst as a university is going to pay dearly for this, for the actions of a few! They will pay out financially to victims, they will lose 100's of millions in funding and some will go to jail for this. And yet you would destroy an institution for what a few people covered up. BTW, perhaps every single d1 school should be investigated to see if any program has ever covered for rape by an athlete or professor because the fact is that has happened and everyone knows it and we all know those things have happened not all that long ago in cf where players were protected by schools so the school could win football games......how about brushing under the rug crimes commited by athletes brushed under the rug...................and those were done to win football games and yet I do not see you carrying the banner to investigate every program to find the evidence and burn every program into the ground. [Title]

Output: omardontscare, how is this loic?


Input: [Date] 3 years 4 weeks ago [Body] Explain what happened as rules broken regarding ncaa for punishment of ncaa violations? Cause there isn't any, and no matter how angry we are, there were no football rules broken, no athletic department rules broken. This has nothing to do with cheating and football. Were laws broken, yes, and several will be dealt with by the courts. Sandusky is gone, locked up and is getting his just deserves now..... The culprits that enabled him further by not reporting are next in line. So punishing the football program is stupid at this point. I don't mean cause it weakens the bigten, pennst or helps other programs with them being weak, I mean it's plain stupid as you have to make up rules to punish them for something that outside of coaches connection to football nothing in this benefited pennst's football program. What's hard to understand about that? [Title]

Output: explain .........


Input: [Date] 3 years 4 weeks ago [Body] Would love to see the 97 season replay..........would love some 88 sc rosebowl, 03 nd, 06, 2010 nd games, 02 vs washington..........some other fun games............... [Title]

Output: Would love to see the 97


Input: [Date] 3 years 4 weeks ago [Body] So it's really fair to punish the coaching staff that is there now? It's really fair to punish the scholarhsip players there now? It's fair to punish the alumni, students, fans that attend the school, the games donate money because of the actions of a few people that are no longer at the school and for something that happend now 10yrs ago? I really don't get all the kick psu out of the bigten or give the football program the death penalty talk. Why, for what? Tell me the advantage gained on the football field cause that is what ncaa rules are around. Name one advantage in any game gained, name one recruit they got by this or off season/in season advantage? None, ok move on. Pennst as a university faces some severe trials coming up. US dept of education, fbi, CPS and others are investigating............at stake is 100's of millions in federal funding that could be lost or taken for a period of time that would just be devastating to the university. In the end I don't think much happens here because pennst is a billion dollar business the gov wouldn't want to take down. But I think they open up several avenues in restrictions educators do not want. [Title]

Output: psu and punishment


Input: [Date] 3 years 8 weeks ago [Body] Seriously McGloin couldn't hit the wide side of a barn last yr.....heck alabama quit playing pass defense by the end of the 1st half..........Watching that game they had a defender just let a wr go and come up, sure enough mcgloin throws the short pass and so far off the wr got decked and the te was down field by himself............... I'll be shocked if they can complete passes beyond 20yds of the qb, forget los! [Title]

Output: how bad are Jones and Bolden?


Input: [Date] 3 years 12 weeks ago [Body] Sports are extra curricular and not a right, thus a try-out. The arguement now imo is how much money in fees did the family have to pay after he made the team. If he made the team and then during the regular season he was removed so another player who did not make the original tryouts could be on the team then the family has a very serious arguement. Some of it is just whining, learn and deal with it, but the other is if you paid fees upon making the team then out side of dismissal from the team for rules violations agreed upon to remain on the team, there is no justification for this dismissal! [Title]

Output: any claim can be made but....


Input: [Date] 3 years 13 weeks ago [Body] Nfl is the biggest bunch of hypocrites on the planet now. The league has known forever that bounties existed, known forever that headshots caused concussions, and known forever that players take dirty plays to get those bounty payouts, to take out other players to win a game since great success results in huge paydays in the next paycheck and name recognition........... Players are just as big of hypocrites because they played the game doing these things and now want to blame the nfl. They blame the nfl for beginning to do what they should have done a long time ago. Players, Coaches all bred this atmosphere when everyone made fun of the qb in practice calling them soft since they were off limits, bragged about the huge hits............ And don't get me started on the don't ask don't tell of ped abuse in the nfl and all professional leagues! [Title]

Output: JMHO BUT


Input: [Date] 3 years 14 weeks ago [Body] Started doing it in 2004 with Marvin Lewis, I know a friend works their games and monitors all signal frequencies for the bengals home games, he knows the bengals signals and his job is to make sure it's encoded/encrypted and to ensure the signal isn't being stolen by the other teams. He does travel to away games but not all away games. So not sure about that...... If th bengals are employing sound/signal engineers then you know this isn't a one team problem! [Title]

Output: Bengals employ sound engineers to prevent this


Input: [Date] 3 years 14 weeks ago [Body] NCAA needs to fix this in many ways...... 1st, either force schools to honor scholarships for 4yrs or allow the athlete to transfer at will........... ie the athletes have no representation so every bit of this is against the athlete. The coach can bolt for another job without sitting, the athlete cannot transfer without losing a year. The coach can take the players scholarship and the athlete has no recourse......... 2nd, NCAA needs to allow athletes to work and make money period..............this is bogus that they cannot work and are required to give so much to their sport but cannot make money to go out on saturday night, buy themselves anything...or go grab grub.........so either they need a decent stipend or be allowed to work. 3rd, Ncaa needs to fix these scholarships in 2 ways....one to protect the athlete but 2nd to protect themselves..........By making scholarships 4yr scholarships they can force players who leave early for nba/nfl/nhl/mlb to pay back their scholarship so you help your cause a bit there and in turn you protect the athletes that didn't have a shot to go to professional leagues so they can complete their degrees as a student athlete! [Title]

Output: 2cents worth


Input: [Date] 3 years 15 weeks ago [Body] I don't get the need to hit women or try to force them into something........if she wants to leave sure grabbing her and hitting her is going to fix it. If she blew your cash hitting her is sure going to fix that as well, it will get all your cash right back.......................dude, get away from her if she is causing this much issue in your life. [Title]

Output: if she wants to go, see ya.....


Input: [Date] 3 years 15 weeks ago [Body] If you have your olineman chop block my dt, the next play you pull your olineman my dt can chop block him, it works the same way....................so message sent can be sent right back to the other staff! Actually if a staff does that I hope our staff sends the same message right back! That's just bogus. Actually I hoped our dline would have done that to msu when they opened the game with the high/low chop blocks that weren't called. [Title]

Output: Coaches also must know....


Input: [Date] 3 years 15 weeks ago [Body] Say mike martin was injured and Beilema still said that, wouldn't that open up the same lawsuits by college players? If a coach makes a statement they sent a message on an illegal play in the game and said player gets injured or career ended by injury that door is wide open! [Title]

Output: How would the nfl be different?


Input: [Date] 3 years 16 weeks ago [Body] Jalen also accepted cash, pocket money as he called it, but he still admitted to taking some. Chris was the offender here, and if chris came clean and admitted everything, when it began and made things right, I could see it....... They shouldn't go up unless chris took the big money after declaring for the nba....outside of that.....it's hard to put it in any light that isn't negative.... [Title]

Output: Msc is right


Input: [Date] 3 years 16 weeks ago [Body] Which one greater affects my kid 5yrs from now? 5yrs from now Petrino's issue is an after thought, correct? 5yrs from now Jim Tressel will just be able to be hired by an ncaa institution after a 5yr show cause limitation has expired. So, your son is being recruited and Petrino shows up and leaves his recruiting pitch. The next day Tressel shows up and gives his recruiting pitch. Which one talks about being a good christian first? Because both commited grave sins according to the most basic christian teachings. Both lied and covered over a matter, both violated laws of christianity so tell me again which is worse? Petrino's sins are obvious...adultry, lying, covering over a lie. Tressel harder to answer but lying, covering over a lie and having never come clean about the entire lie constitutes him as still lying! [Title]

Output: Ask yourself this question


Input: [Date] 3 years 16 weeks ago [Body] 1, The direct accusation that he fixed raffles at camps to give star players the prizes.....that is simply flat out misleading to the 500 kids that paid big bucks to attend....$500 for a camp and you had no shot to win the random prizes and it went to the kids invited to camp who got in for free...... 2, Tressel lied several times and covered up what was happening at both youngstown st and ohio.... if the coverup is worse then the crime...ummm tressel did it multiple times and this leads to....how many times in the past...... 3, Tats, Cars, and other perks................I would be afriad my kid would be left hanging in his mess 2 or 3yrs in if I let him play for Tressel. 4 Would I have to worry he would allow felon drug trafficing thugs on the team around my kid? Would I have to worry about bringing in the lowest of the low just to win? In answer, I would let my kid play for petrino long before I would Tressel. Petrino would have cause for concern but essentially adultry he is hurting himself and family and he has to face that as well and the public side is nobody else's business. Lets not get high and mighty on this board about that when this country has over a 50% divorce rate and the majority of children are now born out of wedlock. Relationships are screwed up anymore and it's become acceptable for people to do this unless they are a public figure and the public needs a reason to bag on them. Adultry, if it's the moral high ground here, don't talk on this unless you have never had premarital sex, never commited adultry and live according to the standards you are holding Bobby Petrino to. Lying to his employer and on police reports.....the coverup....I get that and I get all of it regarding adultry.............huge huge issues...... [Title]

Output: people forget some of the things about tressel


Input: [Date] 3 years 18 weeks ago [Body] the band itself or "in the big house" ............I don't listen to the band, "in the bighouse" I thought was good for converting a fight song into a rock theme that is still safe for little ears and the bluehairs.............. seriously what else are you going to do with it and keep it family friendly..... All in all people take their music, I say that loosely, as personal as they do their sports teams, some even more personally. Heck scroll through each band or vocalists videos on youtube and you see nearly as many haters as there are fans posting back and forth...and no shot at anyone on this board but music fans are as bias as any without regard for true talent when it comes to musicians. I may not like many bands or artists per say but I do know who is talented and who is all show and little talent.....there is a major difference some understand nothing about music but know how to entertain, others are great musically but need tons of help to entertain...few are both.... [Title]

Output: are you attacking


Input: [Date] 3 years 19 weeks ago [Body] Question for yourself on your sources. In my time I have found many sources push many things......one thing I found off is that your sources are telling schools they are full outside of a a couple positions..... Unless a few things change or the staff has a few silent commits then the source info is fwiw..... [Title]

Output: Rollmantide


Input: [Date] 3 years 19 weeks ago [Body] Didn't diggs bail out of a visit with no notification and wouldn't hs coaches be more appreciative of a staff notifying not to visit before hand that they are full rather then wait till after the visit? Why would they take offense to not accepting a visit and saying we are full....essentially that means visiting would waste your time and we do not want to do that. [Title]

Output: tit for tat with Good Gounsel...


Input: [Date] 3 years 19 weeks ago [Body] Cissoko had no confidence againat floyd or tate, it showed when he played against floyd in the army aa game and then when he lined up against him vs nd as well.......he was lost in coverage, lost when the ball was in the air and was simply shell shocked in that game...the staff should have pulled him in the 1st qtr and ran out anyone and told them line up and run with them............. The 2nd half plan helped out a ton that game, having them start 10yds off the ball and drop 2-5yds to give the out pattern but keep their eye on the release and not get burned coming up to hard....they also focused on taking the te out of the game knowing without eliminating the te from the passing game it was over.....ie at least to the wr's there were incompletions.....focusing on the te's and running game helped get nd to some 3rd and longs and a few incompletions to save the game... Look how Jt Floyd did against floyd this yr from nd, wasn't perfect but he played his leverage well and took the easy quick pass away and made nd look elsewhere.............. [Title]

Output: Cissoko's problems were not height related


Input: [Date] 3 years 24 weeks ago [Body] Yes, ok we established that, and was moved back because of too many touchbacks? Yes.... So now they are putting it back to the 35 to get more touchbacks but moving the coverage teams start point limit to 5yds from ten. Imo it's a great rule change , not that anyone cares but the biggest thing was getting rid of the 10yd head start........ And if called correctly they cannot start running until the kicker has passed them and cannot cross the 35 till after the ball is kicked. It's up to officials to throw the flag really when coverage guys would get those huge running starts....ie get running momentum going and then turn upfield for the 10yd and pass the 30 or 35 back in the day and dang near be at the 50 within a second of kickoff....heck I remember guys being at the 20 when the kick returner caught the ball....Nebraska, Fsu and Miami were the worst offenders and never got flagged for it...... [Title]

Output: Kickoffs used to be at the 35 right?


Input: [Date] 3 years 25 weeks ago [Body] could get offered but down the line, maybe camp offers. Cass Tech olineman and Dlineman have a shot....dt poet thomas has a shot........and a couple other instate oline if they are late bloomers....... Dillard imo, if you think he can play for Michigan then go after him hard, go win the fight! Elmer going to nd early helps as it stops you from focusing on him for 6 months only to lose him to nd, but I thought it was obvious early to the staff he was a longshot at best. [Title]

Output: I think a couple guys


Input: [Date] 3 years 25 weeks ago [Body] First you want us to tell you how to negatively recruit Michigan and then you want us to tell you how we would negatively recruit ohio........This should be obvious as there is one answer to everything, just crawl up the mountain to see the old one in the cave somewhere in asia, seek his advice. From there just remember............... This is Michigan fer godsakes And if you remember that with anything you deal with, B1G, The Game, Recruiting and admit defeat, you will be ok and your health much better. [Title]

Output: Urb, is that you


Input: [Date] 3 years 27 weeks ago [Body] I don't get how one asks this question without looking at the other obvious that Meyer also knows the schemes used by Mattison and at the very least the principles which he runs his defense assignments. I do not see an advantage one way or the other. [Title]

Output: blame yourself...


Input: [Date] 3 years 27 weeks ago [Body] He had 2 fumbles and the muffed punt that he should have stayed away or picked the ball up off the bounce. But either way he cost his team 10 points and could have been worse had his team mates not recovered the other fumble! He was carrying the ball loose all game long letting it get away from his body, really suprised harbaugh didn't eat him alive on the sidelines for that one. [Title]

Output: Williams by far...


Input: [Date] 3 years 29 weeks ago [Body] Agholor being drawn to it I get from a younger player. What it really says is Kelly knows how to recruit. Other recruiters say do you want to play for a raging madman and Kelly says do you want to play for a coach that wants to win and is as competitive as you are or a coach that looks ho hum. Reality, I want a coach that shows some fire but is still under control. For my taste I would like Brady with more fire at times as well but never like Kelly. Kelly is out of control rather then being a fierce competitor and there is a difference. [Title]

Output: Suprised Kiffin didn't restrict nd


Input: [Date] 3 years 29 weeks ago [Body] teams to play in bowl games unless they won the bigten title and go to the rosebowl. Not it was odd to see how few teams won 11 games but given most of the 70's it was bigten title or go home, I get it. Some of those 10 win teams would have had some bowl victories. 10 win seasons were the bench mark of success for a long time, not to mention everyone always saying Michigan scheduled themselves out of the mnc game by having 2 top ooc games one always being nd and the other someone else...back in the day of nd being a dominant program. [Title]

Output: Lost is the bigten didn't star allowing


Input: [Date] 3 years 29 weeks ago [Body] They have no bylaws against this, their bylaws and jurisdiction was restricted to competition and rules related, ie recruiting, practice, contact time and academics. None of these issues are covered even in any bylaw. jmo, pennst should give their report to the ncaa along with a great big efff off this isn't your jurisdiction and and fyi these are the steps we took to clean house and make sure that the people are gone that failed this situation and these steps are in place to prevent it from ever happening again, thanks for inquiring. [Title]

Output: NCAA is out of bounds on this


Input: [Date] 3 years 30 weeks ago [Body] Dantonio will try and take some ohio coaches that aren't retained by the new rock star coach on their rock star staff.......... Next season, lets wait till after spring to get a clearer picture. Wisconsin breeds top olineman and servicable statue qb's so with Montey Ball back they will be better then many may think, it's the defense that needs an infusion of speed in the back 7 that I do not see happening but may still be good enough to win the bigten Pennst, lets see what happens there cause the only thing holding pennst back from the bigten title was a qb, so lets see how things end up in happy valley with the new coach and if they can get a competent qb coach and an offense that throws the ball beyond the 1st down marker.... Ohio, I think this season is another disaster under the rockstar, namely because they lose their top offensive talent save the qb and the defense is a disaster as well right now..... Michigan, our team replaces Molk, vanbergen and Martin, koger, hemmingway and roundtree...so settling out the center position, a deepthreat wr, a te any te, and dline has to settle out.... I think some positions just get better next yr with 2nd yr players and fr, ie lber and safety..... So lets see how it all plays out! [Title]

Output: dantonio will


Input: [Date] 3 years 30 weeks ago [Body] but not one that cannot be overcome, if dantonio hires a good replacement nothing is missed. [Title]

Output: Narduzzi will be a loss


Input: [Date] 3 years 30 weeks ago [Body] vatech was daring Michigan to throw, and they sold out to stop the run, cause it was obvious what was happening....they could have ran play action and told denard throw it out of the endzone if he isn't open....... But denard isn't a throw it away qb and will hesitate and take a sack if the receiver isn't open. I would have done the same thing the staff did, Hemmingway or Roundtree may have got inside position and hit the post hard for a td, but I wouldn't have trusted roundtree to protect the ball if it wasn't thrown well or slightly behind. [Title]

Output: 2nd and 3rd down


Input: [Date] 3 years 30 weeks ago [Body] worried about what a buckeye has to say about Michigan? By his logic, ohio will be totally irrelevant for 3 straight yrs, 2010 0-12, 2011 6-7, 2012 has no impact on the bcs title game.....they can't go bowling............... why you are upset at a ohio douchenozzle with a microphone? They spiel agenda, if you have to call in, just ask why he is bending over for secESPiN when he goes to work? Ask him why he is no better then the 2 dollar whore doing anything for that buck...but I expect nothing less from a buck i [Title]

Output: why are you


Input: [Date] 3 years 30 weeks ago [Body] Well the bigten needs to straighten itself out..........The bigten will not start winning all the bigger bowls till the 4 premier teams step up to where they should be, leading and winning this conference. Michigan, pennst, ohio and Nebraska.........these programs have to represent and the only way things change is to win these bowl games. Michigan under hoke will be just fine.... Ohio I think we all know will be fine in 2yrs under um Nebraska, pelini really needs to pickup the offense, that thing is archaic and where is the blackshirts. Pennst, tbd, they could get a bigtime coach but I doubt it! imo they would be better off sticking with bradley...but they also need to clean house.... [Title]

Output: Well the bigten needs to


Input: [Date] 3 years 30 weeks ago [Body] I just do not see him being blue.......Hope I am wrong but after the standifer deal, I don't see it. Yes, yes I know he tweeted it doesn't affect him..... [Title]

Output: I don't see him coming to Michigan


Input: [Date] 3 years 31 weeks ago [Body] It's real easy, the schools should force the bowls to not release tickets to the public till the schools can sell them for a week.....and the schools should get them at a discount rate from the public price.....ie help the schools sell their allotment first, then release the rest.......that is the best way to help the schools under the current system. [Title]

Output: It's real easy, the schools


Input: [Date] 3 years 32 weeks ago [Body] The play before the spike, rewatch that play and you can count a full 2 seconds before the clock started for that play! The clock ending on that spike, they shouldn't have had the chance because the clock should have been zero at that moment. Also go back to the start of the drive, 2nd down when leaf was in the endzone stepping up for the throw there was holding in the endzone. Game over. Next play again there was holding at the 3yd line. Then we get to the pass interference. It looked like the official was going to call that on Michigan, they were protecting wazzu ................and he held the flag when mckenzie caught the ball..... Imho, I still thought Lloyd should have either went for the fg and the 8pt lead or went for the 1st down and ended the game. [Title]

Output: blueinwisconsin add a couple others


Input: [Date] 3 years 34 weeks ago [Body] But the fact that it was even mentioned by he and the zona ad tells you how bad Rich wan'ts it. He feels he didn't get the support and the fact is he got more money and resources to do whatever he wanted on the football field at Michigan then 8 other bigten schools ever dream of. He had a larger recruiting budget, top flight facilities, and more money for assistants offered him then 8 other bigten schools and yet he doesn't feel he had support. [Title]

Output: publically Rich will say it was overblown


Input: [Date] 3 years 34 weeks ago [Body] Staff is telling recruits ahead of time, If you commit, that scholarship is yours, as in we will not offer that scholarship to any other recruit. In turn if you commit, we want you commited to Michigan since will will not recruit other athletes for that scholarship, it's yours. Coaching staff's have to draw a line somewhere with recruits, and it somewhat gets rid of the games recruits play. If you commit and are visiting other schools that means you may sign with other schools and not michigan and we will not hold that scholarship for you as we are recruiting to fill our open scholarships. Pharoe Brown is a perfect example, they took his commitment and when he visited elsewhere they no longer considered him a commit and opened up recruiting to his scholarship. [Title]

Output: doesn't fit


Input: [Date] 3 years 36 weeks ago [Body] wrestled total control, they have used the bigten's way down perception and the same with the pac12, why usc isn't usc and oregon keeps getting beat by every good defense they play. The big12 imploded and has no credibility so they hang on the sec's coat tails and votes with the sec and the sec lets them so they can put another big12 team in the bcs title game they want to ensure the sec gets the win. Follow all that.... great, its corrupt in every way and the bigten has a part in it just right now the sec is the dominant player. Consider this... Alabama loses and drops 3 spots, Oklahoma lost earlier this yr and drops 4 spots, wisconsin lost to a 1 loss team and dropped 10 spots. Stanford loses and drops 5 spots, Oregon lost to lsu and dropped 8 spots, Michigan lost and dropped 10 spots, Michigan wins and climbs 3 while Oklahoma loses a second game and barely drops, okie st loses to an unranked opponent and barely drops. Point is, I don't care who arkansas, alabama, oklahoma and okie st lost to they deserved to drop major spots in the polls and everyone else move up in their place. That's how it works but for the sec and big12 teams riding their coat tails that isn't how it's working...........Vatech should be top 4, likely #3 right now in the country, and if they win the acc should vault any sec team. Any one loss champion or 2 loss champion for that matter should jump a team that cannot win it's own conference. Until we get a playoff, which in my opionion should only include conference champions and maybe an at large or two, then should we consider this, and at that an at large birth better come from a team in the top 3 that didn't win it's division or conference.......... and imho, voting should be removed by conferences who vote up their teams and down other conference teams..... [Title]

Output: bcs is political and about money, right now the sec has


Input: [Date] 3 years 37 weeks ago [Body] 1st, Hybrids typically aren't big enough for lber when playing the power rush teams, but they are fine against the spread type teams, ie indiana, northwestern, minnesota.......against msu, iowa, psu, wisconsin, nebraska and Osu even when they go 3wr or spread set you need bigger lbers to stand up to that inside run those schools still use out of a spread formation. 2012 Defense, I hope like heck that BigWill and Quinton Washington, Richard Ash or Ondre Pipkins and play bigtime ball on the dline..........otherwise the defense will take a step back. Rock, Brink or Heininger may be able to bulk up enough to play the 3tech but One of the other 4 mentioned must be ready for the 1tech NT position..... and Mattison wants a 3 man rotation for inside minimum, he prefers a 4 man rotation where the backups can play 10 - 15 snaps and spell the starters if a long drive gets going.... De's, I think next yr this position, esp Rush End gets much faster and more athletic with Frank Clark and Beyer... and possibly Ojemudia gets some time there as a rush only, he probably needs a redshirt yr to get big enough to hold the poa against the run. [Title]

Output: 2012 defense....


Input: [Date] 3 years 37 weeks ago [Body] SEC West, right now that is murderous.... 5 programs that are just good, with bama, lsu, arkansas, auburn and miss st......walking into that mess, wow, esp with oversigning rules taking effect in the sec...... That said, Rich likes a challenge, have at it.....just hope he knows the sec like the bigten is a defense first conference, if you can't play it you will not in in it. [Title]

Output: don't see it as a jab....


Input: [Date] 3 years 40 weeks ago [Body] Giving up back to back 15yd runs and putting sc in fieldgoal range made sure they couldn't use those timeouts....ie nd was down by 14pts, a fg makes it 3 scores with less then 2 minutes......by this point kelly was relying on a turnover cause nothing short of a turnover or missed fg would have given nd a chance....no matter how much time they left on the clock. Outside appearances one could guess but by football players standards they should be smart enough to know this.... [Title]

Output: nd needed a stop to use those timeouts


Input: [Date] 3 years 40 weeks ago [Body] are the reason nobody reads papers at all and why we completely follow blogs dedicated to our programs/teams.....and then look to national news for the rest.......... [Title]

Output: He and others like him


Input: [Date] 3 years 41 weeks ago [Body] It doesn't win any favor but at the same time why would you give your rival program who you are playing that day a chance to let their recruits see their game at your own stadium. I seem to remember being ticked off Lloyd Carr and company didn't escort Mo C out of the stadium when he came in all osu gear and stayed on the osu sidelines for the game in 01! [Title]

Output: I don't blame msu coaches for this...


Input: [Date] 3 years 41 weeks ago [Body] Plain and simple....you cheap shot denard call a cut block on their best dline or lber, you send a message and you send a hard message....They do it again you line a double outside lber blitz and you tell them to crush the qb and if you are within 2 steps you hit him and bury him hi and low! It aint cheap when the other team is calling it. It's calling by the rules they want to play with! Believe me they want to go after a qb, you go get theirs! [Title]

Output: Then answer is to beat their aZZ next yr....


Input: [Date] 3 years 42 weeks ago [Body] One thing I would never allow any recruit to ever do is visit my stadium to cheer the other program or visit that program's sideline. I was ticked off when I found that out, and Michigan staff in charge should have escorted moC out of the stadium long before the game started and told him thanks but go home you are not wecome here now. [Title]

Output: flablue13, moC should have been told to leave


Input: [Date] 3 years 42 weeks ago [Body] On the holding calls, 1st half was getting rediculous calling Michigan and not calling Northwestern.......the Michigan faithfull at the game let them know too.....good job fans cause on a big gain by northwestern on an obvious hold they booed the heck out of the referees for a good while......... the good thing about that was it showed nw didn't have or wasn't going to get the home field calls all game......that said Michigan benefited as well in the 2nd half on a couple calls....... [Title]

Output: refs were spotty at best...


Input: [Date] 3 years 44 weeks ago [Body] Borges offense is west coast passing with power run game. Eventually the offense will go that route, but most qb's struggle with west coast passing and take 2 or 3yrs to learn. Denard will have to continue working on this as will the other qb's. This will pay big next yr ............though you don't see it now, next yr is when the benefit comes. [Title]

Output: it isn't an experiment!


Input: [Date] 3 years 44 weeks ago [Body] Points per drive matters more then any other statistic you have. The previous two years the defense couldn't stop teams from scoring. This year the defense has created about 6 redzone turnovers, ie direct turnover int/fumble or stop on downs.... Turnovers aren't just random, and often are unforced unless a rb or qb just drops the ball. Nd for instance.... Rees fumbles, loses the ball in the redzone, everyone says it was unforced but go watch the tape, Black was coming free and within 2yds of him when Rees's helmet turns slightly and he loses the football. Ie he was about to get drilled and saw it, rushing the throw he loses the footballl...... In my mind that is forced because the qb felt the pressure. Rees int's.. dropping a corner from the short flat zone and peeling back is a defensive call so when Floyd drops to get that int, that is forced, why the qb didn't recognize the coverage. Floyd's int cutting under Floyd is also forced, why great defensive play, break on the ball........ [Title]

Output: numbers are made to say what you want them to.


Input: [Date] 3 years 45 weeks ago [Body] Seriously..... Notre Dame was only 1 vote, period! It took far more then one vote to not approve a new contract. [Title]

Output: ND would have been just one vote!


Input: [Date] 3 years 45 weeks ago [Body] Give me a coach who understands the importance of Defense, Special Teams and taking care of the football.........I don't care if he is offensive or defensive minded. Plus give me a coach who is confident in his assistants and lets them do their job and coaches his coaches during the week so he doesn't have to on game day.... Ie his staff and players are prepared for key situations. [Title]

Output: give me a coach who understands


Input: [Date] 3 years 48 weeks ago [Body] to mainly osu fans....so he caters to them... I see no reason to get bent since the rankings don't mean much anyway... The top players in the state are obvious anyway and only some diehard homer or teenager wouldn't recognize it [Title]

Output: he gets money to sell magazines, internet subscriptions...


Input: [Date] 4 years 5 weeks ago [Body] Info is info and who works for it is generally the first one out with it and I have zero issue with it. Beaver or TVH, posters follow both in cult like fashion, ie both boards posters saying...well if ..... says it i will believe it..... So for one board or the other to make fun of either or the other posters is hilarious....cause what would you be doing here then if you aren't following a publishers every whim? I like the recruiting info from every michigan site I visit, I like the team/staff info as well. But to be honest, I don't really follow recruiting super close, I watch, but I don't hang on a single word that beaver, tvh, sam webb, brian or anyone for that matter posts. If a player signs, great, if not so be it...that is recruiting [Title]

Output: to everyone on this board....


Input: [Date] 4 years 6 weeks ago [Body] It was great reliving the fab 5 and what they stood for then and now seeing how 4 of those guys grew into men and grew up. I will always remember how much fun they were on the court! [Title]

Output: rip on duke is awesome


Input: [Date] 4 years 7 weeks ago [Body] Goal oriented, centered, knows exactly what direction he wants his programs to go and knows how he wants to get there. Strong leader, self confident and now comes the most important part. He knows the Michigan landscape as a Football Player he knows the traditions and what everything means to Alumni, to Boosters to Fans and esp to Players! He has served on the Board of Reagents, he has been a corperate CEO. His backround came in perfect to meld the fans back together. His leadership thru the ncaa was perfect taking over for something that never should have happened. The hiring process imo he made one mistake and that was not making the decision after the osu game and waiting till the bowl game...Imo he had what he needed. Publicity, idk, he is a little overboard and as he says the job should be about Michigan, and in my mind that means more of the head coaches and players and less of him. But I'll take this any day over Bill Martin not stepping up and being the leader we needed in crisis. Renovations, right now this is all Bill Martin and he deserves total credit for that, Brandon walked in at the end, and one thing I respected that Brandon did was have Bill Martin do the ribbon cutting and give him the credit for the stadium renovation. [Title]

Output: Brandon is exactly what is needed right now


Input: [Date] 4 years 7 weeks ago [Body] turn on you that you would not expect. But the vast majority of turn coats had zero character to begin with. Former players mad at Rich were the half that weren't mad at Lloyd and were claiming they were shut out. The rest were the half that were mad at Lloyd and they were coming out of the woodwork to say it was the first time in yrs they were welcomed back. Pick wich side you want to believe or care to worry about their opinion on the matter cause it really is was picking and choosing to be upset or not and publically support or tear down. Osu, look at the number of problem stars they had...then consider how they handled things and how former players come out. There was a definite line of jealousy there that is very obvious and a disdain for them by those who do love osu. [Title]

Output: There are always a few that would


Input: [Date] 4 years 7 weeks ago [Body] Michigan beat wazzu, ohio st faced fsu who imo was the 1 team that could have beat that 97 team, only difference was michigan had a more clutch qb and better oline, otherwise the defenses stacked for both teams..... pennst lost their qb, rb and star wr for the bowl game against florida and still gave florida a good run... iowa lost their starting qb the rest of the season after the michigan game and wasn't the same team again after that game...and for that same matter neither was msu... Michigan's defense put 5 qb's out of a game or multiple games that season for either a few plays or more.. they were devastating...... [Title]

Output: nobody considered things in the bowl record


Input: [Date] 4 years 7 weeks ago [Body] Remember mcnabb and jackson both killed the defense throwing overtop, if you remember todd toast howard getting torched a couple times ..... or finding out Andre Weathers wasn't Woodson against syracuse cause they tried to play the same man up style with Weathers as the #1 corner........... And don't forget the real issue in pass defense was this. Woodson left for the nfl, William Peterson who likely would have taken over as the #1 corner transferred and was ruled ineligible........ and then add in either Patmon or another db didn't play that game either....so it took herman out of being aggressive playing man coverage and attacking mcnabb and spying him with hendricks like he wanted to instead dropping the safeties deep to cover for the corners..... Michigan against nebraska... frost was nowhere near the throwing qb mcnabb was, and was a straight forward runner, not elusive or dominating physically. But I will say the rb's for the huskers were the real deal. Biggest advantage michigan had was a big rotation of dlineman that yr......One thing that would have hurt michigan though was not having either eric mayes or dadrian taylor since both were out injured for the year.... but that only mildly affected depth on that defense. [Title]

Output: Mcnabb carved up the defense passing, same with jurius jackson


Input: [Date] 4 years 7 weeks ago [Body] Talent was one thing but consider this in style of play. Nebraska offense was completely 1 dimensional run game with some passing thrown in. Michigan had superior pass defense that was easily better then anything Nebraska could put at them in the passing game. Nebraska had 2 pass plays, 1 Michigan ran all the time themselves to the te trailing bootleg off play action the other was qb option step back pass, either wr or te streaking down the field. To wich the backside corner safety had to watch the release of the wr or te.... This against that michigan defense puts nebraska's only option to run the ball every down....and one thing Nebraska would have found was the fact that this defense was devastating once they had you one dimensional. Imo Pennst was the most dangerous offense in cfb that yr and this defense rocked them to the core. Nebraska against this defense focused for the mnc, it's over....... [Title]

Output: my reasons michigan wins


Input: [Date] 4 years 10 weeks ago [Body] 1 stoops...turned down his dream job in nd, twice! And turned down osu already, didn't even talk to osu! 2 gruden.....dude makes over a million a yr to do tv broadcasts of games.....he knows his family now...he isn't giving that up...and not to mention he is becoming a football media rockstar.....not happening no matter what program or nfl team comes calling.....(this reminds me of all the talk about jimmy johnson's return to coaching..yeah you see how that went) 3 Ferentz... makes 4.5 million a yr overall in iowa city.... money isn't the issue and he is reveared there even if he goes 8-4...try that in a2 or cbus......................................... 4 Meyer....... Too soon but the real issue for osu is sanctions....why go into a job riddled with handcuffs and one mistake makes it ten times worse! Honestly I don't see Meyer coaching in the bigten at all.... unless joepa retires this yr and pennst comes calling and Meyer has a clean slate....could happen...osu and sanctions not happening. 5 Glenn Mason.... I know I know huge disappointment here but the second the job is open turn on the bigten network to see him gravelling for the job........ [Title]

Output: lets first take coaches to remove from the list


Input: [Date] 4 years 11 weeks ago [Body] I wanted hoke again............... For those upset about the hiring process, the only thing I didn't like was waiting till after the bowl game....I thought that was kinda bogus, but other then that the process itself that Dave Brandon had was very good. I didn't see anything changing after the bowl game, no defense was going to magically show up against miss st after the season this staff had and after the osu game I didn't care who was the coach, they needed to go. Hoke is a great hire and has done everything the right way from the outset. He also was a great hire due to his familiarity with bigten, midwest/ohio/pa/mi/ill recruiting and even better he was on the staff that had won bigten titles and a national title...he brings familiarity to michigan, he brings great success back with him from before and turned horrible programs into winners. It just speaks volumes........ [Title]

Output: for the record, I wanted hoke 3yrs ago


Input: [Date] 4 years 13 weeks ago [Body] National tv, and this is what the flag people do.... http://michiganzone.blogspot.com/2008/01/it-all-went-wrong-for-osu-monday.html keep in mind they only had 1 job to do the entire game.....run down the field with the flags spelling o h i o in order.......... [Title]

Output: The ohio vs lsu mnc game.....


Input: [Date] 4 years 15 weeks ago [Body] So no 2 deep is decided and nobody has said Cullen cannot break the 2 deep if he puts in the offseason work or be the nickel back or win a starting job...... Point is to play anywhere he has to put the work in, and he will have to beat out 4-6 other players to crack the 2 deep or win a starting job. Leaving is quiting when things are tough............. [Title]

Output: It isn't fall yet!


Input: [Date] 4 years 15 weeks ago [Body] Oline definitely needs to get stronger, but they did look better then I thought considering they and the qb are the most affected adapting to the new scheme. QB, Denard and Devin didn't look as comfortable but the best part of that was the defense was bringing lots of pressures and looks to confuse them....ie something they actually will see in the fall. No more of the bland defensive looks so they can go down field at will as in the past. That isn't a knock on Rich, it's the truth, last yr the defense was so bland it was difficult to tell what was what.............other then they were out manned at the point of attack. Defense, dline is far better, far more ahead and that was missing vanbergen. Lbers aren't fighting off lineman every single snap thus the lber play was far better imo....still a way to go but consider where it was last yr......and that's without demens...... Safety play is all around better as well.... Best players on defense, Carvin, Rvb, MM and Demens........... does someone else step up into that list? Best on offense, obviously Denard, Stonum, Lewan and Molk.... who steps in here, hemmingway, wich rb steps up and grabs the reins or is it by commitee? [Title]

Output: 2cents


Input: [Date] 4 years 15 weeks ago [Body] Folks, don't take 10 tickets and then not even go, don't take 10 tickets when you know at best you are going to use 4..........that is jack Hopefully next yr the university charges $10 for reserve tickets for motts and it cuts back on ppl just taking as many as they are limited to take......... btw I am hoping the school moves spring back 2 weeks for much better weather.....but I doubt they will, doing that would take them past spring break. [Title]

Output: what happened to every reserve ticket being taken?


Input: [Date] 4 years 16 weeks ago [Body] BTW, ready any monday morning column and tell me it is not without bias....or heck read the dfreep and tell me there isn't bias and had not been bias the previous 3yrs and they they are the paid professionals. Heck complaining about bias here is actually pretty funny because as much as I read those guys had some bias against Rich answer me how much bias Brian and a great many here had against Brady Hoke being hired and carried that bias even to a degree now. I am sure the crickets will be loud on that cause everyone has their biased opinions. BTW, I have talked with these guys indepth about football and what you get on the blog is a scaled back version. You want the deep down x's and o's, coach over there can break it down with the best out there, problem is he gets another 100 responses to explain what he just said so typically he dumbs down the talk to what most everyone is familiar with. These guys liked Rich if you knew them, but what they say is plain as day obvious. When reports came out and I heard it from more then them that Rich would stop defensive coaches from correcting on field mistakes in practice and tell them to let them get the reps in, it clearly made sense what these guys were reporting, ie practice was about drills, reps and getting them done in the allowed time for that drill/station.....idea was get them doing the same thing over and over not about correcting bad fundamentals....they hoped repetition fixed it....... It also proved the point the practice was for the offense because Rich's offense depends on rythem so no defensive adjustment was going to ruin that adjustment. It also told you the reports of defensive improvement the previous yrs were accurate, just against Rich's offense since that is what they practiced against. If you want great spelling, punctuation and sentence structure coupled with great story telling then go to barnes and nobel or the writer's blogs......... [Title]

Output: so part of the dislike is bias or not being a writer...really


Input: [Date] 4 years 16 weeks ago [Body] They don't blow smoke selling a product or get into the games to keep readers, they just report what they see and know. I have known them for yrs and they do a very good job. the football breakdown is great for even a novice to read, yeah some may want a much heavier analysis but that would only bore to tears the casual fan as only the most ardent football fans want the total statistical breakdown with player actions responsibilities and everything else. Grammer, if you want it written by an english major buy a magazine, if you want it free by those who attend and love michigan football enough to share it, go to their website. [Title]

Output: fyi, these guys do a great job


Input: [Date] 4 years 17 weeks ago [Body] Ie they pay the school for their education, they pay for the strength and conditioning coaching they get and use of facilities, pay their own dorm and pay for the food tables.....and let the schools pay them after they pay all that first........ [Title]

Output: Sure pay them, but they give up their scholarships....


Input: [Date] 4 years 20 weeks ago [Body] Riley, Voskul and pelinka.... should have been a bigger part of the team then they were, and I still think that is the reason the fab5 wasn't more successfull... Those guys were on a national championship team and I think they cost themselves by not making the other guys a big part of the team...particularly after they all became starters...... I bet they all know it now and wish they did it a bit different with those guys but it's past now [Title]

Output: jmho


Input: [Date] 4 years 20 weeks ago [Body] They want paid they don't get a scholarship! You pay your way thru school, get student loans like everyone else and then lets pay them according to play..... Lets see how many athletes vote on that... you can get paid based on your pay but you will not be on scholarship and must take out a student loan if you cannot pay your way. [Title]

Output: Here is the plan


Input: [Date] 4 years 20 weeks ago [Body] Remember the 1st meeting was on Osu's terms meaning they were self reporting what they just found out, turning it over to the ncaa and recommending punishment...... At that time the ncaa was still trying to preserve the sugarbowl so they gave a harsher 5 game suspension and let the tat5 play in the bcs game..... Now, after the fact it comes out, we all know Tressel lied, covered it up, signed the documents stating no violations, lied again to osu and then ncaa about time frame and where the tip came from..... Punishment.... 2010 wins imo have to be vacated, and if now proven these players commited these actions at all during the 2009 season even those wins should be vacated.....and bcs bowl money as well...... Tressel.. 2 games...not near enough... remember bruce pearl lost 8 sec bball games almost half the confrence schedule for lying to the ncaa... Bryant lost his season for lying and not even haven broken a rule...... Tressel imo this looks like an antonio bryant suspension is coming..... Probation.... given, likely 3 to 5yrs for this one... Scholarships ..... unknown... usc lost 30 over 3yrs ie 10 a yr for 3yrs.... for an assistant coach that covered up reggie bush taking extra benefits.... what happens here? [Title]

Output: Osu punishment


Input: [Date] 4 years 20 weeks ago [Body] 1 Attourney, imo privelege, that's for the bar to decide.., I don't think he lightly divulged the info...I also don't think he for a second believed the emails would ever become public.... as in, once you read this you delete my email and then handle your situation. 2 It was obvious the attourney was affiliated with osu. He had Tressel's direct email, not the athletic departments front email for the avg person to send their hate mail or the psyco osu fan with a review of last weeks game.. This dude had Tressel's account. 3 Motive, I don't think you can call an attourney shady for giving Tressel the heads up here. Did he make a major mistake in doing so, sure but shady.....not at all... Imo this happens all the time, every day where some confidential info is shared looking out for someone else, hey this is a heads up, this is heading your way......ethical...no, loyal, yes, they do not always mix and loyalty can come with a price..... [Title]

Output: I tend to think a few things


Input: [Date] 4 years 21 weeks ago [Body] come on.... I have had tickets, some I did, some I didn't do. Ones I did I paid the fine, took the class, ones I didn't I stated my case... Been pulled over for speeding and told I was going far faster then I was by the officer..... It happens to everyone.... [Title]

Output: traffic tickets....


Input: [Date] 4 years 21 weeks ago [Body] btw, the Valenti threads he see's when he travels the michigan boards only confirms that you do listen and his style works to keep you listening.... [Title]

Output: You can turn the station...


Input: [Date] 4 years 21 weeks ago [Body] Dui in any state requires you to go to court regardless and you have to bring representation, ie a lawyer...... 2nd Donte Stallworth, yeah what happened was horrible, what happened took a mans life, but don't let facts get in the way of what happened. The person killed was also drunk and walked into the road where stallworth was driving and all accounts stated even if sober stallworth would not have been able to avoid the accident..... Braylon, his lawyer is doing his job, that is what lawyers do... ie make sure police followed proceedure, make sure equipment is calibrated correctly for an accurate breathalizer...But lets see you write a check to a lawyer for a few hundred beans a hr and you tell them not to do anything cause you are going to man up....... [Title]

Output: get some facts right


Input: [Date] 4 years 23 weeks ago [Body] Kansas City Royals, Pittsburg Pirates and a couple others that fit the list...... [Title]

Output: you left out baseball


Input: [Date] 4 years 24 weeks ago [Body] what great defensive players were recruited by that staff or developed by that staff that led to even decent defense being played? Yet to this day their biggest wins were against 6-6 wisconsin, 6-6 notre dame and this yr's 7 win notre dame team......impressive....sheeshe btw, everyone in the country wanted clowney as a defensive player...rich, can you play qb..... [Title]

Output: uhmmm tell us


Input: [Date] 4 years 27 weeks ago [Body] He is not an interior dlineman at all in his time here. Possibility he could excell as a sde, but as a interior dt, only on pass rush downs..... [Title]

Output: rvb has to play de in a defense


Input: [Date] 4 years 27 weeks ago [Body] DB also should have reached out to Brock himself and asked what he could do. It would be prudent for Dave Brandon to get in touch with Barwis and Wellman both and see if they could work something out to allow Brock to continue his rehab here....or continue here until Brock is able to continue elsewhere if he chooses. Above poster nailed it, Brock was asked about things and in the transition Brock is obviously upset. He didn't slam michigan but he feels Rich and company got a raw deal and the fact that this transition has not gone on even a month yet it is way to early to start calling out michigan at all in this [Title]

Output: DB also should have reached


Input: [Date] 4 years 28 weeks ago [Body] Barwis....come on guys he deserves mad props for everything he did here. In particular Brock Mealer and what they did there. For those Anti Barwis, come on the guy followed Rich's instructions.... so when he told him he wanted lineman running ...., lifting .... and weighing about.... that is what barwis did.... Rich adjusted after the 09 season saying we have to get bigger....that is well documented..but they didn't get big enough....the same front guys got ran over...Mike Martin included....they weren't near big enough for a 3 man front....is that Barwis fault or Rich's fault? Imo Rich....he knew the front he was playing Mike Barwis trained them as instructed. Get a top notch crew and some depth for coaches to work with on the field and everything is good. BTW, S&C...come on 2006 team was a personal foul from being undefeated under gittleson's ancient method, 2005 team had 5 losses.... same method.. 9, 7 and 5 losses under barwis... off season commitment was 05 team issue, 08, 09 and 10 those teams just didn't have talent period. [Title]

Output: Get a top notch crew in and everything is good


Input: [Date] 4 years 28 weeks ago [Body] I am all for bringing soup back [Title]

Output: I am all for bringing soup


Input: [Date] 4 years 28 weeks ago [Body] He was a longtime dc at kstate then at florida when he was hired by Oklahoma.....yeah that's right they went after a successfull coordinator to run a program that is very prestigious.... Ohhh yeah, before stoops Oklahoma made more then a couple big name hires....uhmm Howard Schnellenberger ring a bell... Stoops at Oklahoma.....funny how oklahoma gave stoops a shot to be head coach he wins a national title and suddenly every program thinks they can lure him there when they wouldn't even talk to him before.....florida, nd, ohio st, and every other top job that has opened up..... Harbaugh... funny michigan wouldn't field a call from him 3yrs ago...now he leads stanford to a bcs bowl and blows out vatech and michigan fans are drooling all overthemselves and swearing harbaugh should be running home....when michigan wouldn't call at all 3yrs ago..... Point is you have to be ahead of the curve....sometimes you have to take a chance and just hire the best coach, not the best name coach...... [Title]

Output: bob stoops terrible example!


Input: [Date] 4 years 31 weeks ago [Body] Sure, don't show up to workout, no pay, dont perform on the field, no pay...btw, here is your tuition payment...and the bill for the foodtable, your tudors nobody else gets for free, your dorm bill.....sure.....I mean pay the athletes to play football and let them pay for everything they get for free now! [Title]

Output: pay athletes and don't give them a scholarship....


Input: [Date] 4 years 33 weeks ago [Body] Why was smu the only program to get the death penalty? It should have been done long before to other schools, the ncaa knows it, everyone knows it..... btw, I still look at the smu death penalty as a warning to usc and the sec! Check out Usc's crap...long before reggie bush btw http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/article/magazine/MAG1125493/index.htm I had a link that can no longer be found on espn that brought out how he 12 sec schools led the ncaa with 42 major violations and many of the schools multiple over many yrs...and this went back to 10 right before alabama got nailed again! So yea....it's funny how espn signs a major tv deal with the sec and suddenly this disappears...... [Title]

Output: A few things...


Input: [Date] 4 years 34 weeks ago [Body] The 1st offensive series florida safeties were 12yds deep at the snap of the ball, just like they were a yr later against manningham and arrington.... The 2nd offensive series florida realized ted ginn wasn't in the game, they were both in the box and the florida defense was blitzing from everywhere. Rewatch the tape..., a few series later ted ginn re enters the game, florida see's it and they back the safeties up again..., realize he is ineffective and cannot get off the line due to his ankle and they are right back in the box after 2 plays. 2006 season, sure florida got the mnc, but didn't deserve to be in the game...., kudos for them for getting the nod and taking advantage, but michigan was better, and up until mario's injury michigan was the best team in cf that season. [Title]

Output: 1 wr did make that difference vs florida for osu...


Input: [Date] 4 years 35 weeks ago [Body] will get the defense on the right track.....getting something a defensive coordinator can really work with in the defensive backfield besides swiss cheese will work wonders.... getting a couple dlineman big enough to play bigten football will work wonders..., getting those dlineman in front of lbers to allow them to get to plays before they get ran over, might actually help... just a thought.... btw, teams should get up to play Michigan....and that is no excuse for Michigan either...uhmmm well we were their superbowl......guess what, this is michigan and you get to play 11 superbowls before you get to the biggest game of the yr for any program of any sport.... [Title]

Output: fyi, a yr older, more depth and more talent


Input: [Date] 4 years 35 weeks ago [Body] face it this is the first yr in 16 yrs anyone even cared about the iron bowl.... acc screwed the fsu/miami game as well...putting both teams in opposite divisions but having them play early and essentially taking 1 team out of national discussion before the season is even started.....they should have kept the game in mid/late october like it always was.... michigan ohiost, I think the bigten messed up by keeping this game as the last game of the season...imho, it should have stayed as the 3rd saturday of november, thus giving at least a 1 week break and it stays at a traditional time slot everyone is familiar with....and this game would still have the ability to knock the other team out of the bigten title game or decide the bigten....(last game is great except for the fact that it's the last game of the regular season now with a championship game left....thus I would prefer the 3rd sat, not thanksgiving weekend.... [Title]

Output: sec screwed the iron bowl....


Input: [Date] 4 years 35 weeks ago [Body] admit it, vanbergen/roh/banks/patterson are not interior dlineman.... Mike Martin cannot control 2 gaps every single snap, it has been proven this season, DB's, warren gone, woolfolk injured out for season spelled doom for the corners, Lbers, Ezeh is afraid of guards coming free hence he retreats from contact..... Fact of the matter is this defensive personel even next yr is behind to run this defense. Washington or Ash would have to be monster 330lb nt's and Martin Vanbergen again would have to get bigger to run this defense. Corners would have to grow up and woolfolk come back healthy....then we can talk about a defense getting much better. [Title]

Output: right personel helps to start....


Input: [Date] 4 years 36 weeks ago [Body] play that is illegal! Nobody here is saying wisconsin didn't kick the crap out of our swiss cheese defense. But to go out and call that play to chop block a dlineman on purpose....ummmm he should flat out be suspended.... Heck the bigten should suspend him for 2 games, the second for being a moron and dumb enough to admit it! But that is why I love stupid people! [Title]

Output: he should be suspended for calling a specific


Input: [Date] 4 years 36 weeks ago [Body] Lewan had a nasty chop block last week and had one a couple weeks before that, and both were completely uncalled for.....don't act like Beilema called that specificaly....lineman pull that crap when the guy infront of them got the best of them a few plays.... Beilema, most coaches are complete aholes, what cause ferentz, tressel are good infront of a camera you think they aren't? Rich, you better believe he is....Bo, we call him tough as nails as our coach and you think 9 other schools thought he was a saint...Coaches are aholes to other teams. So when Dantonio, Hope, Beilema or indiana's coach (yeah nobody knows who he is or will take the time cause he won't be there long enough) act like douche bags, its because they are. They just happen to be the ones that don't know how to act infront of a camera.... [Title]

Output: calm down on the chop block....


Input: [Date] 4 years 36 weeks ago [Body] The defensive front was way undersized last yr in a 4 man front.....who the heck thought it would be better this yr in a 3 man front minus brandon graham? DUH.... This defense has been flat ran over every single week, can't stop the run can't get to the passer.....both of those is on the defensive front. Vanbergen, out of position he needs to be in a 4-3 as a sde, not interior dline Martin, out of position as a 3 front nt, again he needs to be de in 3front or dt in 4front... Roh, out of position still needs to be 4front rde Patterson/Banks 4 front sde.... I admire the effort these guys give but the whole defense rests right here with no defensive tackle able to come in and play next to Mike Martin that can take the heat off the dline, ie let martin be a dt and not a nt, vanbergen be a sde, roh/black be rde's.... We witnessed today a dline just get ran over no matter how much they subbed they just got their tails handed to them....and they are bigger this yr then last yr and last yr was a 4man front and did a better job! [Title]

Output: Ummmmmm partly correct.


Input: [Date] 4 years 37 weeks ago [Body] Mike Martin is not big enough to be a nose tackle in a 3 man front in the bigten, big12, sec..... he doesn't control 2 gaps against the run and that must happen. 3-3-5 would need a big space eating nt that controls the 2 inside gaps and demands a double team so the inside lber can flow to the ball without getting a lineman or 2 lineman coming free every single play. Mike Martin should be playing de in a 3 man front.... Next yr dline should have Qwashington or Richard Ash at the nosetackle position....and could go 4 man front and still have a great rush package.... 4-3 front sde vanbergen, dt mikemartin, nt qwash/Ash, rde roh/black 4-2 rush rde Roh, dt mike martin, nt qwash/Ash, Rde Black You can also slide vanbergen to dt or nt on pass rush packages...... [Title]

Output: Difference is dline personel to run a 3man front....


Input: [Date] 4 years 37 weeks ago [Body] then just count on pennst to beat msu [Title]

Output: I'll take 2 wins over wiscky and osu


Input: [Date] 4 years 38 weeks ago [Body] Avery and Talbott have played the best overall, avery looks ready to impact next yr bigtime. Talbott has had some real good plays here and there as well being in good position when he got beat a couple times as well. Best help to the db's next yr will be a vastly improved dline, namely de's. [Title]

Output: the fr played better then expected...


Input: [Date] 4 years 40 weeks ago [Body] Lewan the penalty against indiana was very questionable but the one against iowa the whistle blew and he came 4yds and blew up a guy turned away from him.... Molk had the defenseless player call, wich some of this when the play is beyond you, you just need to let it go. Christian vs nd, was going to be called even if the hit was weak, it was over a yd oob by the time he hit the player. You cannot do that and I don't care if you are a tr fr, you know from little league football oob is oob and you will get a pf for hitting a player oob. Many others, undisciplined more in play and consistency on defense I would say... [Title]

Output: some of it is undisciplined, most was not.


Input: [Date] 4 years 40 weeks ago [Body] when they got destroyed in the 1 game they did play, I would love to see it. By the way, this is a repeat of last yrs game with the only difference being Tolzien did not turn the ball over. Wisconsin whipped osu at the line on both sides of the ball 2 yrs straight now. 9 of 10 games osu loses when you get beat that bad on the line. Last yr was that 1 win when wisconsin inexplicably kept turning the ball over. [Title]

Output: If osu could win the line of scrimmage in 9 of 10 games


Input: [Date] 4 years 40 weeks ago [Body] but he gave up some coverages early he had no business giving up! [Title]

Output: That was a great interception


Input: [Date] 4 years 40 weeks ago [Body] Denard was not the same throwing the ball after his int again...it seems he got happy feet and real erratic throwing after that. Not nearly as decisive.... Tate, was erratic at times to and don't forget he threw an early pick breaking the pocket. Tate has a real bad habit of breaking the pocket right to the pressure and not sliding away from the pressure.... he is not helping his lineman out at all.... I think I want to see more designed roll out passing for both tate and denard. [Title]

Output: penalties really hurt...


Input: [Date] 4 years 41 weeks ago [Body] So yeah it killed a couple drives, it didn't make the defense give up 5tds and a fg.... and if this team must have momentum for 60minutes of every game you may as well pack your bags on this season now. [Title]

Output: btw, the calls against lewan did not give up 38pts,


Input: [Date] 4 years 41 weeks ago [Body] Also several plays again the opposing dlineman were lining up offsides and they never called it. I get tired of this as they have called this a few times against michigan and I am staring at dlineman from umass, bgsu, indiana, msu and iowa clearly with their helmets across the los and they don't throw the flag....... Holding on sweeps... is it just me or do they call this on michigan and never call it on other teams. Granted our de's aren't good but when olineman have their hands outside the shoulderpads that is holding..... 1 other, Facemask penalties. 4 times I have seen Denard tackled and a defender graze or grab his facemask and it not be called...... [Title]

Output: Crossing route td for iowa...rt did jump...


Input: [Date] 4 years 43 weeks ago [Body] You can always tell with May, he is plain as day obvious...he didn't care for Rich, didn't care for Lloyd at all as coaches, but Denard he loves and because of that he never dogs denard or the offense but does call out the defense wich face it, all of us do. Lou, he is so stuck on notre dame that when michigan wins it somehow was because of notredame doing it...... He hates michigan and you can tell. But as other posters also stated, yeah Mark May also likes getting under Lou's skin [Title]

Output: Mark May actually likes Denard


Input: [Date] 4 years 44 weeks ago [Body] ( state this saying samwebb is my boy but this is all to generate recruiting buzz for the premium service) This top recruit is going to visit, it is going to be a shock to everyone when you find out who it is......he is going to visit for ... game..... game.... Game comes and goes, no visit, doesn't happen...then comes the well..... coach got a hold of it and put a stop to it...... then they say it was a msu recruit that really wanted michigan but someone interfered and won't let them do it..... yes we know fred smith was kidnapped so he couldn't visit michigan as was charles burrell, will gholston wasn't allowed to visit as was others. Sorry I am no longer on this bandwagon of msu can stop a hs kid from visiting michigan...... BS. BTW, everyone is free to call me out if I am wrong! Don't get be wrong, I like samwebb and the crew, but this is about keeping people hanging on....and it could be recruits doing it, but I do not buy it at all....NEXT [Title]

Output: Come on guys they do this every yr....


Input: [Date] 4 years 44 weeks ago [Body] everyone...he is going to visit..... game.... Game comes and goes, no visit, doesn't happen...then comes the well..... coach got a hold of it and put a stop to it...... then they say it was a msu recruit that really wanted michigan but someone interfered and won't let them do it..... yes we know fred smith was kidnapped so he couldn't visit michigan as was charles burrell, will gholston wasn't allowed to visit as was others.

Don't get be wrong, I like samwebb and the crew, but this is about keeping people hanging on....and it could be recruits doing it, but I do not buy it at all....NEXT [Title]

Output: They do this every yr, some player will visit and it will shock


Input: [Date] 4 years 44 weeks ago [Body] However company policy does not allow for a sparty jersey to be worn while on the clock..... [Title]

Output: The walmart spartans are there.


Input: [Date] 4 years 44 weeks ago [Body] Including woodson, marlin jackson and many other defensive players. All had their struggles. People remember a few plays he made against osu but forget he was giving up a ton of yds and a bunch of catches till he made that 1st int vs osu....then everything changed for him confidence wise that game....wich changed everything from then on for cwood. The issue now is none of our current fr have great sr leadership out there with them. [Title]

Output: there have been many tr fr to start at michigan.


Input: [Date] 4 years 44 weeks ago [Body] was there section 9 row 17, at halftime I was walking up to hit the restroom and I hear someone yelling my name when I get by the tunnel to exit. Turns out, my cousin married an appst grad and he was there all decked out, appst gear calling me to come up and meet his friends while they all give me 2 tons of shyte!!!!!! Yep, my cousin, our family is from NKY and meet up in Michigan Stadium... and imo, this counts as a non michigan football moment cause that was not michigan football! [Title]

Output: does the horror count..that was a non michigan football game


Input: [Date] 4 years 44 weeks ago [Body] St Louis Rams at Cincinnati Bengals....2000, I think...maybe 99...... Was supposed to be a bengals win against some terrible team in st louis that had a qb starting cause the starter just got hurt in preseason. Yeah, some qb named Kurt Warner was starting who the yr before was playing for the iowa barnstormers in arena league....... That to this day is the best offense I have ever seen in the nfl games I have went to. They shredded the bengals defense (hey back then lots of teams did) but they could have scored 70pts with ease if they wanted to.....it was flat out ugly for me as a bengals fan but man stlouis was fun to watch...... [Title]

Output: Best non michigan game


Input: [Date] 4 years 44 weeks ago [Body] He seems to take on blockers better then ezeh..., strong against the run. [Title]

Output: Demens play is solid...


Input: [Date] 4 years 44 weeks ago [Body] Leaving Pryor in as long as they did and the starters before subbing, yeah osu ran the score up..., Pryor needs bigtime stats and emu is the game to get them... [Title]

Output: Osu did run the score up...


Input: [Date] 4 years 44 weeks ago [Body] With so many programs cutting players and not graduating them the ncaa instituted that apr point thing. So now the new way of getting around kicking a player off the team without losing apr is putting them on a medical scholarship. But I believe that is a 1yr deal to, if he is healthy the next yr the program either has to release them if they want to transfer or put them back on athletic scholarship.... Sec is again at the top of this list....12 per yr per team on avg.....thing is sec once they do that, they lose that player the entire yr and I don't think they are eligible to practice in spring ball either..... [Title]

Output: Yes yr to yr...


Input: [Date] 4 years 44 weeks ago [Body] I like the series with notre dame....I also like the fact that every yr this game is on abc or nbc.... You have to play games nationally televised when you can. Yes michigan is on the bigten network and nationally anyone with it can see michigan. But you also need more then espn/ as well... ABC does regional coverage and rarely national unless it is a night game. Nbc for nd is just national...so a game with nd is national.....how many recruits got to see a great game against nd that could flip back and forth and see that game if they weren't seeing something else..... Plus I still say the vast majority of fans that want to drop nd from the schedule havent' been to the game at the bighouse. These programs bring so much to the table, it is an awesome game! [Title]

Output: agree with michgoblue


Input: [Date] 4 years 44 weeks ago [Body] Recruits watch this defense and do not want any part of it...top recruits that is. It's passive, non attacking. What dline wants to play a non attacking roll, forget front 3 or 4 man dline....they want to penetrate and make plays. Lbers, who the heck wants to be a lber in a defense that does not attack at all, lets olneman come free and blast you.... Db's, 12yds off the los is so exciting! Seriously, Robinson stated this would be an attacking defense and untill they do attack and start making plays they will not land many top rated recruits. [Title]

Output: how about playing a style of defense recruits WANT to play!


Input: [Date] 4 years 45 weeks ago [Body] Umass 7 blockers, michigan 6 man front....in zone reading, not attacking and we need this guy to tell us why the lbers looked like crap! Really.... How about the dline got pushed back most every series due to doubles, then the umass oline wa scraping off to the lbers and getting right to them. Only times this didn't happen was when mike martin made a superman play or Gerg decided to blitz. Contain, who had contain cause it wasn't anyone on defense I saw..... Lbers, Roh/Mouton....didn't have contain, you guys blasted ezeh, how about he was getting both guard and full back half the time or at least the guard and I saw several plays where he shedded the guard and forced the runner but the other lbers were caught and couldn't close the backside cut either. So rip ezeh while leaving the dline alone or other lbers. In reality the blame starts with the Staff....sitting back watching them get ran over and not calling run blitz's to stop it, not going to more 4man fronts with actual size....sorry moving vanbergen into the middle isn't a 4man front, it is a repeat of last yr, undersized getting tail handed to him! [Title]

Output: Assessments are ok but honestly


Input: [Date] 4 years 45 weeks ago [Body] that makes his 4.7 40 in the north accurate..... as tomvh states 40 time gets 4fakes out of 5.... Seriously Carlos Brown ran a 4.65 at a camp in georgia his sr yr and was the fastest player there by far according to his hs coach who used to post on scout forum...so the hs recruit 40 times I see being anywhere below 4.5, I never believe, ever. [Title]

Output: really don't you think every kid runs a 4.3 40 from the south


Input: [Date] 4 years 45 weeks ago [Body] But if accomplishment is the thing woodson did more in changing the view of an entire sport from his position then anyone else left they possibly have. I know some will be way up there just because of who they are. Owens, Thorpe, magic johnson are almost guarranteed to be top ten/five as would be the president... red grange, archie griffin, dan gable there are some bigtime names and athletes in bigten history.....Lest we forget coaches Bo, Woody, Yost, Stagg, Red Berenson....many, many great coaches in programs in bigten history! But what woodson accomplished surpasses many of them, and there is no way he and even desmond howard should be remotely as low as they are. I will forever see this list as a farce because of this.

Input: [Date] 4 years 45 weeks ago [Body] Corners are way to soft... they need to be up, esp rogers since he is physical enough...Floyd Idk if he is good enough...or physical enough right now... DT is needed in a huge way and it cannot be vanbergen, he is not an interior dlineman, he just isn't...Barnum/Washington someone needs to be made a dt from the olineman that has some TAIL END on them...... De VanBergen, NT Martin DT (cambell/barnum/washington, someone) DE Banks/Roh Banks run downs, Roh pass rush.... But this defense is way, way to soft against the run against power formation today and my guess is they face a similar run game vs bigten teams all season long.... 400yds a game or more will not get it done in bigten play, it won't and if not fixed you can count on 6 wins at best! [Title]

Output: Corners are way to soft, dt next to martin is a must, just not

Input: [Date] 3 hours 24 min ago [Title] Very Cool... [Body]

Output: Very nice spot. I wonder if they'll do a few more, as it is another way to get the team itself involved in building some further hype for the season. I really enjoyed the "Who's got it better than us?" at the end as well.
