Japanese Animator Trashes English Dub of SPACE DANDY on Twitter
You remember Space Dandy right? This show is Cartoon Network's big leap into the anime world. The high profile series in development is being run by the same team responsible for the massive hit Cowboy Bebop, and on Saturday it simultaneously premiered overseas and here in two different languages. Of course, as with any Japanese to English translation, there will always be some words that simply won't work, or culturally won't make sense to a Western audience. Usually these differences are dissected and criticized on message boards and threads, but it would appear there is some dissension among the ranks when a Japanese animator took to Twitter.
The tweets are now deleted, and there was no explanation as to what these changes may have been. For what it's worth, I thought the first episode was great and gave me the same feeling as watching Cowboy Bebop...with more color. For those who may have missed the first episode, check out this ten minute English subtitled segment leaked to the web last week.

It has only been eight years since I discovered my passion for silver, but it seems like we have been together forever. This article is about my transformation from casual silver collector to full-fledged silver bug, some intriguing mining stocks I discovered along the way and my personal vision for the future of silver.
In 2004, my other love reminded me that it was our 25th anniversary, and I decided I would give her a sterling silver vase of long-stem roses. I got on EBAY and found a 16"-tall vase by the respected US silversmith, Watson Company.
When the package arrived, I placed the pacific-cloth bag on the breakfast table. I pulled loose the satin bow and the purple cloth fell away, revealing my reflection in the mirror-polished cylinder. My heart began to race as I lifted the delicately-sculpted foot from the rumpled fabric and noticed one tiny blemish…".925" struck into the soft metal. I did not get any sleep that night.
In the next two years. I accumulated hundreds of vintage silver beauties, cast off by heirs of dead aristocrats who had treasured them a lifetime. I justified that as long as I could buy scrap sterling silver (92.5% pure silver) for less than $10 an ounce there was little downside in my "investments." I added that, with the inflationary demise of paper currency, the day may come when we would need to trade a Tiffany baby cup for a hamburger. I did make a private oath that I would never pay more than $10 an ounce for scrap silver. Eventually the price of silver did rise well above $10, and I avoided EBAY entirely.
I had survived three decades of stock market ebbs and flows by being a timid money manager, so in my new ROTH IRA I wanted an appropriately diversified portfolio. Reluctantly I decided I should have some exposure to precious metals, although I had developed a mental stop light that flashes whenever I think about investing in something I do not thoroughly understand. With precious metal prices skyrocketing and mining stocks suspiciously dormant, it seemed urgent to learn the facts of life about silver. Despite all the red-light warnings, I ventured into the denizen of "junior miners" from exotic exchanges, following intrepid entrepreneurs into dark jungles and frozen tundra. I was essentially a silver virgin, and I knew I might be a little clumsy before I figured out its dynamics.
I was falling for dazzling investment propositions…each one with attributes that dreams are made of: bonanza discoveries of thick veins of ore, giant jaw crushers ready to gobble mountains of high-grade rock and silver bars daily filling railcars. When it came decision time, I reverted to what I know: earnings growth and fundamental value. My first silver miner…
Revett Minerals Inc. (NYSEMKT:RVM) - $4.45
Revett Minerals owns the Troy mine in Montana, which last year produced 1.3MM ounces of silver and 10.6MM pounds of copper. Their shallow mining operation yields a cost of $2.22 per each ounce of silver or pound of copper. RVM also owns the Rock Creek property in Montana, this country's largest undeveloped silver/copper deposit, including 300MM ounces of silver.
When I found RVM, it clearly satisfied several of my standard value metrics: price less than 2X book and 2X sales, PE less than 15 and lots of cash and no debt. The stock is a dollar a share higher now, but RVM still is close enough to those metrics to qualify as a good value according to traditional analysis.
What I have learned is that precious metal miners are not always evaluated according to traditional methods. Undervalued land makes book value deceptively low, and accounting to amortize mine life reduces profit numbers (the reality may be that exploration is actually extending mine life). Bright earnings reports may blind one to the realities of a voluptuous vein flaming out. Each of these darlings has its charms and complexities, and each must be evaluated according to the idiosyncrasies of each mine.
Now I look at mines in three ways: Prospects, Development mines and Production mines. Prospect mines may be just promising land stakes. I think a company has to be able to spring a minimum of $10MM for evaluation and feasibility studies, permits and mitigation measures, and they need about 2 years to move into development. Development miners have cleared the first hurdle and are in construction. The development and construction costs depend on the circumstances of each mine. A minimum of $100MM and probably three more years must be invested to get the first ounce out of the ground. Obviously, Production miners are selling silver so the concern is "how much…for how long."
Even though I jumped in bed with RVM before I knew what I was doing, it has been a sweet relationship. Shares gently escalated 20% in the first couple months. To my delight, I discovered that RVM has all three of the above operations. The lucrative Troy mine is producing $29MM a year in free cash flow ($.78 per diluted share) and they are putting some of that into the development of their "C and I beds" which will double their production fronts in the Troy Mine in the next 30 months. In the meantime, they are putting about $10MM annually into defining the prospects of the Rock Creek prospect to go into production in 2016. I believe that RVM should have mining operations for decades to come.
Although I think it is an appropriate long-term investment, traders should be advised that RVM may take time to be recognized. Their latest guidance for 2012 is solid but also implies that they are more focused on investing in development than pumping their numbers.
RVM is option-able, so I sold a $5 call, adding another 13% income element to my RVM investment. The Rock Creek project had been tied up in a lawsuit with an environmental group, and recently the judge ruled in favor of RVM in that group's last appeal. The stock shot up over $5. I should have been delighted with a 50%+ profit, right? I was devastated, knowing I was going to lose one of my most enchanting investments to the call option owner. I felt like Judas Iscariot betraying his friend for 30 pieces of…well, you know. There was a possibility the share price would drop back by exercise day (which is what happened), but to assure exposure to the volatile silver market I had to add another miner to the portfolio…
Hecla Mining Company (NYSE:HL) - $4.90
Hecla Mining Company began operations in 1891 by opening the Star Mine in the Idaho Silver Valley. HL produced 9MM ounces last year from two mines. With silver spot prices pushing $40, it was easy for the miners under my microscope to make a profit. For the long term, I wanted a company that could turn a profit even with lower silver prices. What really caught my eye was Hecla's average cash cost of less than $.67 per ounce in the last quarter reported.
Years ago Hecla had been cited for its 100-year orgy in the Silver Valley, and the remediation case was a dark cloud over this stock. The September 2011 settlement of this issue will take a $159MM bite out of their $400MM cash hoard over the next four years, but it will remove a historic drag on this stock.
Their Lucky Friday mine in the Silver Valley has been giving up the goods since 1949. I think of the Lucky Friday like Mother Earth who seems to be saying, "C'mon boys, take what you want…there's more where that came from." Indeed, Hecla indicates that the ore grades at the Lucky Friday are getting better the deeper they go. The mine is currently more than a mile deep and yields a bounteous 13 ounces per ton (OPT). HL is sinking shaft #4 in the Lucky Friday and it will reach a depth of 8800 feet by 2015.
Last month the Mine Safety and Health Administration ordered the Lucky Friday closed for safety concerns after two fatalities in the past year. HL is taking all of 2012 to clean up and reinforce safety measures in the mine with the goal of re-opening early in 2013. The stock, selling above $11 a year before, closed well below $5 per share on panic selling. It has lingered near $5 as lawsuits are being filed and the company reduced 2012 guidance to 7MM ounces per year from 9MM ounces in 2011.
On the positive side, the silver is still there in the Lucky Friday and the year off will allow for production efficiencies to be put into place, as well as the safety improvements. On the other hand, investors must weigh if the bad has been sufficiently priced into the stock, and if there will be further delays in the re-opening. I can say that the fickle market seems to put a lot of value on a piece of land in some questionably-compliant foreign land where the upstart miner only has a few trenches and wheelbarrows of ore to prove the value. Measure that against a 62 year old operation with millions of tons of proven high-grade ore and a clear plan how to get it, and it appears the downside is limited. The 120-year-old US company that owns the mine is betting $200MM to expand its life by decades, and I am willing to "follow suit."
As important as the Lucky Friday is to HL, the real starlet in the Hecla cabaret is Greens Creek Mine in Alaska with 12 OPT of silver and gold to boot. At least 70% of HL revenue is generated by this 22-year old mine. Gold by-product revenue easily pays for the entire operation, including 7mm ounces of silver production. Hecla states that if they do no further exploration in their 27-square-mile land position, the mine will last at least another 10 years. A modest $8MM is budgeted for exploration at Greens Creek in 2012.
HL is considered a production company and their prospects are not given much attention. After the Lucky Friday closure, street rumors surfaced regarding take-over targets so cash-rich Hecla can make up the temporary revenue loss. Management may be playing their cards close to the vest, but they point out that they already own plenty of stakes with huge potential. They note budgeted exploration initiatives at their San Juan, Colorado and San Sebastian, Mexico mines, as well as expanding their producing prospects.
Regarding other development operations, the rise in silver prices now justifies their re-opening expenditures at the legendary Bulldog and Equity mines in Colorado and the Star mine in Silver Valley that started the Hecla story 120 years ago.
Hecla recently initiated a new dividend policy tied to the price of silver…a penny-each-quarter for each $5 increment over $30 spot. For instance, at $50 silver the yield would be about 4% annually at current share price. Instead of declining, the company's reported silver reserves are at an all-time high, and HL projects increasing production about 10% each year after returning to a 10MM-ounce pace in 2013. Investors must decide if Hecla is a has-been or can approach its former glory when it was the top performer in the New York exchange during the silver spike of 1979, as the Hunt Brother tried to corner the market. I think at its depressed price, HL has good value for patient investors.
I was perfectly content with the long-term prospects for HL and RVM, and I really don't know what got into me when I found another small miner I could not resist…
Excellon Resources [EXN.TO] (OTCPK:EXLLF) - $.59
I have been known to watch a stock for months before pulling the trigger to buy it. I impulsively bought EXN the day I found it. Maybe it was the eye-popping 30-OPT ore from their La Platosa Mine in Mexico, the debt free balance sheet, the strong cash flow or the rare earth deposits discovered on their land that made me plunk down my "four-bits" a share (that term derives from the Spanish silver "pieces-of-eight" coins that could be cut into eight "bits" to pay for small purchases, so four bits is a half coin…or 50 cents).
In retrospect, I think what won me over to EXN is that the management makes demure teases about their prospects and production, followed by blowout performance. Unlike most junior miners selling shares every chance they get, EXN actually is buying back millions of their own shares in the open market. The January production just released was 169,259 ounces, a 45% beat over the company's plan, which already was modeled to fund an ambitious exploration program. At a $6.50 production cost, that leaves about $25 per ounce for free cash of $4.2MM in one month or an annualized $50MM ( $.17 per share). Of course, company projections are more conservative but still include a 20% production increase over 2011.
Excellon has done a good job of identifying resources at La Platosa, but they need to keep exploring to increase their reserves. Although geological reports to date support their claim as the "highest grade silver producer in Mexico," I remain skeptical that they can provide that grade of ore for a decade. Their 2012 budget focuses on this goal, as well as advancing the development of their rare earth deposit and their gold properties in Quebec and Ontario, Canada.
Since lately the overall stock market had risen dramatically more than the precious metal segment, metals had become under-weighted in my portfolio. Since I had accumulated cash from dividends and option sales, to rebalance the portfolio, I had to add another miner…
Aurcana Corporation [AUN.V] (OTCPK:AUNFF) - $.84
AUN operates the 92%-owned La Negra silver/copper/zinc mine in Mexico and has essentially doubled the revenue and quadrupled EBITDA in 12 months ending September 2011. In May 2012, they will put into operation their 100%-owned Shafter mine in Texas, projected to be the 16th largest mine operation in the world, and second in the US only to Hecla's Greens Creek mine. On the Vancouver Exchange and US pink sheets, AUN has been under-the-radar, but it looks like that is about to change.
La Negra produces 1.7MM ounces of silver equivalent at $10.48 per ounce cash costs, and Shafter is expected to produce 3.8MM ounces in its first year at $8.27 per ounce. At $30/ounce spot price that equates to more than $.20 cash per diluted share each year. Silver grades are improving at La Negra as exploration continues. A new resource estimate is due during Q1 2012.
Aurcana has made some bold moves, making this one of the more risky investments in my portfolio. It had been flirting with bankruptcy and, in 2008, sold 50% of its silver stream to Silver Wheaton (NYSE:SLW) to buy the Shafter mine. In 2010, it bought back the silver stream. In November 2011, they received $34.4MM in a private placement, which appears to be enough to get the Shafter mine in operation. In its effort to go from a tiny operation to mid-tier status, there have been warrant and option issues, leaving the share structure diluted to 558MM shares. However, it looks like the payoff is this year with significant events in the next few months: adding 33% capacity to La Negra, publication of upwardly-revised resource assessment and opening Shafter.
As I have gotten more comfortable with silver mining operations, I have found myself moving to higher risk/reward propositions. Now with these four miners in my stable, I am excited about the prospects for capital appreciation in the next five years. I know some readers will be critical that I have not gotten comfortable enough to add any pure exploration companies (non-producers), but I do have my eye on some. In the following discussion it may become clearer why I am shy about approaching those bold companies.
I think before making an investment, one should have a vision about where it could go and why. I have no crystal ball, but I do want to have logical expectations for an investment and a way to monitor its progress according to my vision. I also like to keep it simple enough so I can remember exactly why I made the investment.
Since my silver stock investments are in a ROTH IRA, my perspective focuses on how I expect silver to perform for the next five years. Since I am not trading these, I am not into micro-analysis, but I am more interested in the macro factors that will come into play during that time period. My expectation is that my investments in this portfolio will double in 5 years, or about a 15% average annual increase in value.
I think that the spot price of silver should increase 15% per year, and I am assuming that the miners' share prices will at least track that increase. Since the miners are actually leveraged, I think this is a conservative assumption.
There have been a number of studies analyzing the supply and demand for silver, comparing published production numbers against industrial and investment uses for silver. I consider this analysis admirably ambitious, but like my contractor neighbor describes construction estimates…it is a wild guess to the second decimal point. My logic tells me that the higher silver price has reopened dormant mines and paid for investments in increasing production on the supply side. The same increase in price has caused increased interest in physical silver as an investment in ETFs and others. I am not convinced that industrial demand alone will justify higher silver prices. The bigger influence will be the investment demand.
One of the supply factors that I do think will support the price in the near future is that silver miners will start keeping silver inventory instead of cash. Endeavor Silver (NYSE:EXK) is choosing to withhold from the market some silver with the intention of selling when the spot price is higher. Most silver miners have large capital expenditure programs so they keep large cash balances. Easily they could hold 10 - 20% of that in their own silver, and removing that from the market supply would insure better prices. EXK is a stock I like, but I can't buy them all. Of course, holding off sales of their production will falsely make the income statement look as if they are underperforming.
Silver is linked to gold at a ratio lately of about 50:1. If gold is bid up in price, silver usually follows. Gold has almost no industrial use…its price is driven by fear and greed. The fear factor is a powerful and under-appreciated influence on the price of precious metals. Politicians, news outlets and investment advisors have learned what preachers have known for centuries: terrorism sells. A buck in the collection basket is insurance against an eternity in hell. Out-of-favor politicians must convince voters that the current decision-makers will lead us to Armageddon. Some "news" organizations build the terror angle around every facet of our lives to keep people glued to their commercials. I see this trend growing, and as long as this "media terrorism" continues there will be increasing demand for gold and silver. Political ideological wrestling has become a popular spectator sport that can only help silver prices.
Some of the doom and gloom may come to pass, but we cannot really predict when or how. My personal belief is that things are neither as good nor as bad as competing sides depict. For my analysis, I am assuming that over the five-year period we will probably have one earth-shaking disaster that will temporarily cause demand to overwhelm sellers. The longer-term effect of this event will be a propensity to hoard metals, contributing to the support of a gently up-trending price for silver. I also think that inflation will account for at least a 3% annual price increase in precious metals.
We should also have a downside forecast to let us know what could happen as we evaluate our risks. I think that silver should trade above $20 per ounce during the five-year period and if the spot price drops below $25 we are in the caution zone. It is notable that when miners produce estimates for net cost of production, value of proven reserves, inventories and other financial metrics, these are based on an assumed price of silver and its by-product metals. In most of these reports that I have read lately, that number is $20 to $25 per silver ounce. If silver drops below that price for an extended period, these metrics will fall in domino fashion. It could be similar to the housing bubble, where an unexpected drop in home value caused a chain reaction in related investments. Silver could free-fall below $20 as margin calls come into play in the commodities markets. Some who thought home prices would never fall now think precious metal prices can never fall….never say "never."
In my portfolio, I am not yet including companies that have no production. I recognize that with ever-rising silver prices these "exploration" miners could be the biggest winners. However, it is good to keep in mind that the payoff for these explorers is likely to be a takeover by a producer. With high silver prices, the producers are investing in expanding milling operations and exploring their own vast land resources. A prospect has to be very good to attract any real buyer attention. If silver falls to the $20 level, the values they put on their stakes may have to be revised downward, which would probably cause panic selling in their stocks. Producers will not have the cash flow to fund their own capital improvements, much less acquisitions. With no production cash flow and no buyers, the stocks of these exploration-only miners do not just drop, they can virtually disappear. As attractive as some of those prospects seem, it is too unpredictable making a move on those that are virgins to production.
Although I intend to hold for the long term, I would have to do some serious analysis of the situation if prices fell below $25 per ounce. A spot price of $20 per ounce in silver would imply a gold price of about $1000 an ounce, which I think would be a strong technical support area. The $20 level was also the resistance from 2008 to 2010, and that tends to become the support once it is handily breached. Therefore, my five-year plan is based on silver spot prices that trend upward to $70 per ounce by 2017 with $25 an ounce being the reevaluation trigger. If my vision is conservative, that is even better.
As for my silver antique investments, as my wife says -- they are not really investments because I will never sell them ... never.

Juventus' lead at the top of the table is down to boss Antonio Conte's work in training, says Simone Pepe.
The Old Lady went one point clear of Milan again last night after Pepe and Alessandro Del Piero netted the goals in the 2-1 win over Lazio.
"It's no surprise we're in form with all the work we do during the week," the former Udinese man noted after a fifth straight win.
"The vast majority of us have played for many years and when we speak about it, the opinion is unanimous – we've never worked so hard."
The wide attacker grabbed his sixth League goal of the campaign with a stunning bicycle-kick in the first half.
"I missed a good opportunity shortly before, partly due to [Lazio 'keeper Federico] Marchetti's good work and partly due to my error.
"I soon made amends though, thankfully…"

It's already been a hell of a by-election, and it sounds like it might get even fiercer up there but I still think National will win. If you're watching the TV news then the by-election looks like a train-wreck for National, but – just as in 2014 – the real election is happening off-screen
National will have a database profiling almost every voter in the electorate. In the next eight days every 'Highly Likely' National voter in Northland will get a call from a party volunteer or Curia staffer reminding them that the government's majority is under threat, and advising them of where their closest advance-voting booth is. Scores of volunteers and young Nats will be mini-bused up from Auckland. They'll door-knock possible soft-New Zealand First voters and repeat scripts that have been focus-grouped to induce anxiety and doubt about Winston Peters and New Zealand First among key demographics. They'll be staffing booths in malls and canvasing pedestrians in town centers. They'll mail out personalised leaflets to harder-to-reach rural voters. Peters is a good campaigner but he can't compete with that. Short of any unforeseen catastrophe, National will win.
What's interesting is that National has to work this hard to hold one of their safest seats. There's a mixture of factors in play. The reason for Sabin's resignation. Winston Peters' political skills. The poor quality of the National candidate. But one of National's main problems, I think, is that when they're fighting against Peters and New Zealand First they're fighting themselves. Winston Peters is, famously, a protege of Robert Muldoon, and his party is based on Muldoon's legacy of populist, dirigiste conservatism. National is a big party and thus a 'broad church' but it was – for about twenty years – dominated by free market economic liberals, partly as a reaction against the economic disaster that Muldoonism inflicted on the country.
But in the last six years National has undergone a dramatic transformation. They're no longer 'economic liberals' in any meaningful sense. (Although they probably still think they are, much as aging ex-hippies with property portfolios and luxury cars might still consider themselves anti-establishment rebels. People like to cling onto idealistic conceptions of themselves long after any attempt at living up to the ideal has gone.) National is no longer a party of economic or individual freedom – they're a populist conservative party of economic intervention, mostly indifferent to or openly hostile towards individual freedoms. Their points of difference with New Zealand First are so trivial they're reduced to running around Northland warning provincial voters that a Peters win might jeopardise a free trade deal with South Korea. That's the big policy gap between Muldoon's disciple and the modern National Party.
I don't know what the long term political consequences of National's shift means. Muldoonism was very popular even when it bought the country to the brink of economic collapse because it was a form of government exclusively devoted to maintaining its own grip on power. To paraphrase Citizen Kane: It's no big thing to win elections – if all you want to do in government is win elections.

Unverified Voracity Is Aging Backwards
Jake Ryan came back before he was injured. Are we moving Jake Ryan's timetable up? I… maybe?
Joined by
@CoachRoyM live on @michiganinsider - "wouldn't be surprised if jake came back sooner (than predicted)"
There are rumblings about the first Big Ten game, which would be crazy.
When you have two quarterbacks, you have no quarterbacks. When you have four, math implodes. Michigan State's nominal starter put up 4.1 YPA in their latest closed scrimmage and their true freshman went 10 of 14 for 240 yards, so a two-way quarterback battle is now a four-way one:
"At the beginning of the scrimmage it was a three-horse race," Dantonio said Monday. "And at the end of the scrimmage, it was a four-horse race."
While you are fretting about uncertainty at guard and safety at least Michigan's quarterback battle is "who wants to get Devin Gardner sandwiches?" Also, Michigan is starting Taylor Lewan at left tackle instead of a former walk-on. LeVeon Bell ain't walking through that door.
Related: in weird news, Hoke told the Michigan insider that Shane Morris was held out of Saturday's scrimmage because they wanted to rest him. Uh?
Meanwhile in Iowa. An open practice(!) leads BHGP to conclude that redshirt sophomore Jake Rudock is likely to throw two-yard hitches on third and seven for the Hawkeyes. Rudock was a three-star out of star-studded Florida powerhouse St Thomas Aquinas a couple years back.
Other bits from Iowa City:
- Sounds like depth is at a low ebb on defense.
- Greg Davis has spent most of the offseason smoking opium and drinking absinthe, so Iowa's now a no-huddle shotgun team.
- True freshman tailback LeShun Daniels is going to play, because he is an Iowa tailback. He is scheduled to be raptured up midseason. Weisman and Damon Bullock also return.
From the comments:
"It looked like a modern-day college football offense."
This… wait, so… but… I can't… so wait, you mean…. but that's…. that's just…. um…. but…. I don't…. wait, what?
In West Lafayette. Rob Henry is named Purdue's starter, which is amazing because he's a redshirt senior. I don't know if I've ever experienced the opposite of the Brooks Bollinger Eighth Year Memorial Season effect, but it seems like Henry should be much younger. Playing at Purdue == premature aging. Thus all the ACL tears.
In South Bend. The Irish lose Danny Spond to migrane issues. He was a returning starter at the Irish equivalent of SAM.
Another angle. Gardner posted his slant touchdown to Joe Reynolds to instagram:
Johnson is young for his grade, and you know Beilein keeps an eye on that stuff. His coach reports that now that Johnson has "shown a lot of maturity" in the classroom that Michigan is getting more interested. His mom used to play at Wisconsin, but other than that connection it seems Michigan is the local favorite:
"I've really got to dissect the program and the way they play (more), but I love Michigan. I'm from Michigan and any time I turn the TV on, if Wisconsin is not playing and Michigan is, I'm rooting for Michigan. It is just a matter if it is going to be a fit for Jay. (It'll be about) where I feel that Jay is going to get the most development, the most growth, (and has) the people who are going to get on board with Jaylen's dream, as well as him being an asset to the program."
Johnson's going to take all five officials, but probably won't use one on Michigan because he's, like, 10 minutes away. Iowa State, Louisville, and Oregon have been scheduled already.
Old school. Newsreels from mgovideo. This, the 1943 Brown Jug game:
1943 Minnesota at Michigan by mgovideo
This from the 1964 Purdue game, narrated by a very, very boring man.
1964 Purdue at Michigan by mgovideo

It just had to happen to us. This Football Study Hall piece attempts to rank coaching performance relative to recruiting success by taking star average and comparing it to F+, one of those fancy holistic statistical measures that tries to smooth out schedule strength and takes MOV into account. Your #1 recruiting outperformer is the 2012 Kansas State Wildcats.
Of local interest: #2 is… 2007 West Virginia. 2006 West Virginia is 10th. Michigan hires that guy, and that guy turns in the 19th-worst performance of the decade. Cumong, man. No other coach appears in the top and bottom 40. The only other coaches with multiple years in the top 40 are Nick Saban, Bobby Petrino, and Brian Kelly, with Chip Kelly an honorable mention since he was the OC for Mike Belloti.
BONUS: this study makes Rick Neuheisel look like the worst coach of the past ten years. Three of his four UCLA teams finished 12th through 14th-worst, and many of those below him are outfits like Washington State and Colorado, teams whose recruiting profile doesn't really cover how terrible they are.
Etc.: "Forecast: Good." Not so good: David Terrell's situation. More Darboh stuff. I'm not sure if this is the best acronym for a college basketball team right now. IN SG James Blackmon Jr. on Michigan. On the 1977 OSU game.

Michigan fans: "awesome." Everyone else: "who?"
Basketbullets: Purdue Part 2
3/6/2013 – Michigan 80, Purdue 75 – 25-5, 12-5 Big Ten
You'd be forgiven if you hurled your cookies at the trough of Michigan's lurching roller-coaster of an evening last night. To go from 12 up to 12 down is a painful 20 minutes of basketball, and after the Penn State debacle the prospect of yet another gross loss way out of proportion to how difficult it is to play on the road loomed.
I went into "if you can't say anything nice…" mode on twitter; judging from the tenor on WTKA today many people who did not probably should have. Our reactions to the swings in basketball games are interesting: everyone is happy if Michigan had fallen behind by 12, gone up 12 in the second half, and saw their lead whittled down to five by the end. It seems like people judge these things like Kenpom's wingraphs do:
That black time when Purdue built their peak is the thing that seems to be lingering on in people's minds today, because Purdue isn't very good this year. I'm among the grumbly crowd today even though I think I should rationally say that the order of points isn't important just so long as you pile up the expected number before the end of the game, which Michigan just about did. While Purdue's not great, the line here was 6 according to both computers and Vegas, and Michigan was a free throw from hitting it.
And yet. It seems like Michigan's playing with fire and calling in Trey Burke to put it out once you accidentally get it on the cat and he spreads it through the house. Trey got that glint in his eye because Terone Johnson made at least one bad decision amongst his impressive barrage of lane runners:
Burke said he was spurred by some good-natured trash talk by the Boilers' Terone Johnson and his younger brother, Ronnie.
"Both of them. The Johnson brothers and a couple others," Burke said. "We knew it was going to be that type of game. Purdue is coming off a win at the Kohl Center in Wisconsin."
Burke said it was the run-of-the-mill trash talk, such as, "You can't guard me" after made baskets.
"I think it got me going — that shouldn't be something that gets me going but I was passive a lot in the first half," said Burke, who added seven assists and five rebounds in 37 minutes.
I cannot imagine what would possess oneself to poke something as spiky as Trey Burke. I guess 32 points on a bunch of tough shots. In any case, Burke activated alpha dog mode down the stretch and clawed Michigan back into the game, as he is wont to do and Michigan plays for a second consecutive Big Ten title on Sunday.
That's a lot of weight on one man's shoulders, even the player of the year. Kemba Walker teaches that it is possible for some dude to drag teams to glory; it's a lot easier when he's got significant backup. Michigan got it in this game… on offense. Right now anyone disqualifying Michigan from serious things because of a lagging defense is hard to argue with.
From Bryan Fuller:
Trey usual. Burke had a couple of free trips to the line late but otherwise earned all of his 26. He earned most of those down the stretch. Those came on 24 shot equivalents. That's not a great ratio out of context. In context you're sucking up almost 40% of Michigan's possessions and carrying Michigan back from a huge deficit, so scraping above a PPP is pretty dang good. I'm not even sure the passivity Burke bemoaned is that big of a deal. The story of Michigan's first half offense was missing point-blank shots.
Meanwhile it was the usual in A:TO: 7-1, and he added the three or so steals that's becoming customary*. He had a number of those one handed-floaters where he puts the ball up and yoinks his hand back like it is a hot potato:
These go in more than it seems they should. (Fuller)
When Michigan was climbing up their second-half hill, Trey alternated between being an alpha dog at people and seeming super pissed off when other folks—usually Stauskas—were not getting him the ball. Stauskas was getting to the line consistently. This is the only thing that saved him from the wrath of Burke.
Speaking of…
*[Q: Trey gets credit when he pokes a ball out from behind and it goes to another player, right? Or is it the guy who secures the ball? If it's the latter Trey probably got shortchanged since his teammates corralled some balls that were set free by his on-ball D.]
Ouch. (Fuller)
Hello Mr. Stauskas, nice to see you again. Michigan's shiner-sporting Canadian got a sly "not just a shooter"-type compliment early in the game when he drove into the lane. Everybody drink. By the end of it Stauskas had attacked the basket so consistently that the announcers did not even bother to mention he could do things other than shoot when he drew his third shooting foul of the half. IIRC, one of his trips to the line was a freebie when he got hit away from the basket with Michigan in the bonus; even so his ratio of attempts inside the line to attempts outside was 8:4.
He also locked down DJ Byrd, who had three points on seven shots and couldn't find an uncontested three all night. It was his best game in a long time.
You'd like him to hit more of those swooping layups, I guess, but at least he's now getting the block/charge calls he wasn't earlier in the year. He suffered some truly horrendous decisions on those early in the year. Refs probably assumed he was just a shooter. No more! For now.
Rough night for Mitch. 3/4 shooting but only 13 minutes, 3 fouls, two TOs, and zero rebounds. Michigan got beat up on the boards 24%/38% and the bigs take the brunt of the blame there. McGary, Horford, Bielfeldt, and Morgan played 42 minutes and acquired five rebounds between them, with only two of those on the defensive end. Yech.
It seems like Tim Hardaway is not shooting well even when he is sometimes. Tim was partially responsible for the missed bunny parade; he still finished 3/7 from both inside and outside the arc. That is… pretty good, actually. Yeah, a couple of those buckets came in transition but when one is a thunderous and-one that came because you made a move to get past a guy trying to take a charge that's still a point earned.
And yet it seems like Hardaway scuffled. I don't know man.
Hi I'm Matt Vogrich. Hi Matt.
I'm leaving now. I'm Matt Vogrich. Bye Matt. Thanks for hitting a three this time.
Halftime run: all right OH WHAT THE… Michigan came out of the locker room seemingly poised for Beilein Patented Halftime Adjustment run, getting the first two baskets out of the break. Then they scored two to Purdue's 11 over the next five minutes. Oy.
The sixth-most irritating thing about college basketball refereeing. Guy puts two hands on midsection of opponent and gets away with it. Happens 92.3% of the time. Should be a clear-cut call: bring both hands down to check opponent, make even vague contact, call.
Sliding. Kenpom's reflecting the eye test when it comes to Michigan's defense, which was floating in the high 30s midway through the conference season but has now slipped to 60th—coincidentally the exact place they finished 2012. If they stay there, some team is going to raid them and there's nothing Burke or anyone will be able to do about it.
It's disappointing. You'd think that they'd move the other direction since they're so young and hypothetically getting better faster than older teams who are closer to a full grasp of what their coach wants them to do.
Stupid half court heave and stupid Penn State game. Without those, Michigan has locked up a share and Indiana is playing for one.
Random thing about hypothetical tourney matchup that will almost certainly be irrelevant. Whenever someone posts a bracket and says they like or do not like the matchups therein there is always the guy who says they will boil themselves alive if VCU is a potential second-round matchup. I say bring the Rams on:
VCU 100% dependent on (huge) TO margin. A-10 opponents actually shooting better than Rams.
I'll take that strength versus VCU's many other weaknesses in the matchup game.
Now everyone will kill me if we lose to VCU in the second round. I should have said nothing.

-"I Tap Plains For Mana," Purdue fight song
Michigan hasn't seen Purdue since January 24th but the Boilers remain about the same team they were back then: a bunch of bricklayers who can get to the bucket surrounding mercurial man-mountain AJ Hammons. Hammons turned in his worst game of the season (two points, two rebounds, two turnovers in 24 indifferent minutes) and Michigan ran away late with a comfortable 68-53 win. Two games later he'd thunder in 30 points against Indiana, albeit in a 37-point loss.
Hammons maintained a high level of production the next few games but has gone cold of late, scoring six points in three of his last four. He did have a good game against Iowa with 12 points and 9 rebounds despite being limited to 18 minutes with foul trouble.
Overall, Hammons is only a decent shooter; he is a high usage, extremely-high block guy who rebounds okay for a seven-footer. Jordan Morgan and company will probably encounter a much more motivated version of him this time out. If he's shooting over a defender, okay.
The guys surrounding Hammons are mostly guys named Johnson. Terone, the junior, is the only one who can shoot it from the outside. He's at a 35% clip. Ronnie and Anthony are at 15 and 21, respectively. All of them shoot about 41% from two—ugh—and the more-heavily-used Terone and Ronnie are under 60% from the line. Those are ugly numbers from your highest-usage players, especially when they're coupled with a high TO rate from Ronnie.
The non-Johnson starter is DJ Byrd, a remorseless chucker who somehow manages a TO rate above 20 despite launching 77% of his shots from behind the arc. Sometimes well behind the arc, as Nik Stauskas found out in the last meeting. That meeting was the foundation for a short-lived Tim Hardaway Lockdown Defender meme after Byrd went from 11 points in the first half to 0 in the second half, but six of those points came on threes that were either banked or shot from 35 feet.
He's a less extreme Marshall Henderson, but he's knocking down 37% of his somewhat inadvisable threes. Since no one save backup wing Raphael Davis gets an appreciable number of twos in at a 50%+ clip, that is Purdue's best shot by some distance.
Purdue will run out large men like Sandi Marcus, Travis Carroll and Donnie Hale when Hammons is on the bench or they're looking for a little more size. Carroll is invisible offensively and has Egwu-level rebounding rates (ie, decent offense, terrible defense); Hale puts up an array of midrange jumpers that fall at the usual 42% rate. Marcus is a clubbing OREB guy who mysteriously only gets 16% of Purdue's minutes despite having good numbers. Must be bad positionally.
The only perimeter backup of any note is the aforementioned Raphael Davis, a freshman who shoots okay in limited opportunities but turns the ball over a great deal.
Purdue's coming off by far their best performance of the year, a 69-56 win at the Trohl Center. That's God's work, Boilermakers. DJ Byrd was 6 of 9 from behind the line, Terone Johnson managed to shoot 50% from the floor on 14 attempts, and Purdue was +6 in OREBs largely because Wisconsin couldn't grab an offensive board to save its life.
This brought them to 7-9 in the Big Ten, king among the conference dwarves. Their other conference wins have mostly come against teams with no shot at the tourney, with exceptions at home against Iowa (in OT) and Illinois (by seven in the opener). But hey Michigan lost to Penn State so everybody's nervous.
Four factors, now conference-only (small sample, yes, but numbers are equally skewed by various cupcakes on the non-conference schedule):
|Turnover %
|Off. Reb. %
|44.6 (9)
|19.4 (11)
|35.4 (3)
|32.7 (6)
|46.1 (4)
|15.3 (12)
|32.6 (8)
|29.5 (5)
Purdue shoots poorly and doesn't quite make up for a large TO deficit with good rebounding. Fast break points should favor the Wolverines, as Purdue is 11th in the league at giving up steals and 12th at acquiring them. They're also 11th in free throw shooting, 10th in 2 point shooting, and last in threes attempted, because obviously.
All of this would be much more assuring if not for Penn State, of course.
Keep them away from the bucket without sagging off of Byrd. Surprise, right? Michigan picked up their pick and roll defense in their most recent game after the mother of all wakeup calls and should be on point here, but the defensive suck is a much larger trend than one good game against the Spartans. In any case, help off guys and force short pullups, prevent layups, and keep DJ Byrd from doing what he did against Wisconsin and Purdue won't touch a PPP.
Sag off pretty much anyone else. Maybe not Terone Johnson, but he's the nominal PG so that's more a matter of being alert to a jack coming your way.
Pick and roll Hammons. Hammons is a force inside, but he's a bit sluggish on the perimeter and can be foul prone when he's trying to move and defend at the same time. Meanwhile Hammons's backups are nowhere near the defender he is. Or rebounder. Or shooter. Hammons is a lot better than other big guy options.
No easy buckets. If Michigan has a choice between giving up a layup and putting a dude on the line, put the dude on the line. Only Byrd is a quality FT shooter on this team. You'll save yourself some points by making them earn transition opportunities at the line.
Shoot a three pointer. And preferably some additional three pointer after the first one. Hammons makes life difficult inside. Winning games without making threes is hard.
Don't suck on the road no mo'. srs
Michigan by 6.
Hammer and Rails also predicts the same thing Kenpom does. UMHoops preview.
Guess the Score, Win Stuff: Boils and Whose Yer's (NNTIUPUI)
So one way to get the shirts we put up in GTGWS is to correctly guess the score. You have about a 1/500 chance of winning. Another is to go and buy them from our store, where you have about a 1/1 chance of winning. If you're planning to do that, do that now since the store's offering free shipping for all of March. As for the other route…
We didn't listen! A few weeks ago when Michigan was looking at a road trip to Wisconsin before the big game in East Lansing I said hell let's not make people guess a 40-possession Bo Ryan game. A guy in the comments said don't do that. I didn't listen.
Last week Michigan was looking at a trip to lowly Penn State on Wednesday with MSU coming to town on Sunday afternoon. You'd think I'd have learned my lesson, but no, I went ahead and asked folks to ignore Penn State and guess the Sparty game. I didn't listen!
And this week? This week Michigan has yet another mid-week visit to a downrated team that ran into a brutal Big Ten schedule before a season-defining matchup over the weekend. I don't want to ruin the fun of Indiana, but I'm not falling for that overlook-the-road-opponent thing again neither. So both. Guess both. Like this:
Boils 78-68 Go Blue!
Whose yers: 71-70 MEEESHIGAN!
If there's a winner for two games I'll give out two shirts. If nobody gets the score this time, no shirts. This way perhaps the gods will let us have our fun without all the nasty smiting.
Also: Indiana liveblog: we're thinking of doing it again. If somebody wants to sponsor that send 'em my way: seth at mgoblog dot com.
How it works:
- I put up a winnable prize that consists of a desirable good.
- You guess the final scores of the designated game, and put it in the comments, preferably in the format of [M's Score]-[Opponent's Score]. First person to post a particular score has it.
- If you guess either game correctly, we contact you. If not, go to (5)
- The desirable good arrives at the address you give us.
- Non-winners can acquire the same desirable good by trading currency for it.
- Seriously, you don't have to actually guess a basketball score to get this shirt. You can buy it.
About Last Time:
Last week in this game,
A user FairleyStUHpid came.
And though he guessed M-59
I guess he did that by design!
(Rah rah rah)
Go hard guess the score,
With honor you may win some more!
Head you to our store,
To claim your MGo-victory!
Rooting for both the biggest local college and the local pro team puts Michiganders in the interesting position of singing the best fight song in the world on Saturdays and the worst on Sundays. Also: MMB vs a fat middle aged guy in a hard hat: reason 5857 that college is better than pro.
This Week's Games:
@Purdue tonight (at 7) and vs. Indiana at home on Sunday. Guess 'em both. To make it easy on me please use the [M's score]-[hyphen]-[Opponent's score] format and specify on that line which game that score's for.
And the Prize:
People who just see the parts of Indiana on the skyway or I-94 don't realize that the state shaped like a spilled sack of beans actually has a lot more going for it. Like there are several bars in Indianapolis. And there's corn fields. And there's gas stations. And the gas is cheaper than in Michigan or Illinois. (You know we should have just made a shirt that says "America's gas station.") Somehow this state surrounded by football enthusiasts ended up being cookoo for basketball. Maybe that's because you can't smell Gary indoors.
Fine print: One entry per user. First user to choose a set of scores wins, determined by the timestamp of your entry (make it easy on me and write your score in digits with a hyphen between them. Deadline for entries is sometime within 24 hours before the start of the game—whenever I can get online in that time and lock the thread. MGoEmployees and Moderators exempt from winning because you can change scores. We did not invent the algorithm. The algorithm consistently finds Jesus. The algorithm spent 10 years as the Indiana of basketball, if that makes sense. The algorithm is banned in China. The algorithm is from Jersey. The algorithm's name has to be spelled wrong. The algorithm is not just a shooter. This is not the algorithm. This is close.

So funny story we almost bought a horse from this woman... But after seeing some falsified documents that she emailed me herself I backed out of the deal! This woman is nothing if not a liar and neglectful of her horses! She tried to convince me for almost a month to buy this horse and thankfully we are not beginners like she seemed to think and did our homework. It will be a good day for all of her animals if Idaho animal control will seize them and actually feed them.
Tye Dye Equines COTH statement:
Really? She is full of crap! She falsified a race report on one of those TB mares, I have it in my email. Anyone who has half a brain can google a thoroughbred's race report and find out the truth. She also lied about her age. The mare was supposedly in foal to a "warmblood of color" but when I watched the video he was so drafty it was unreal. She then sent me an email explainging that the breeder she biught him from lied about his pedigree and told her he was RPSI. The mare herself.. The photos I received of her were disgusting! She was filthy and all of her ribs were showing. When I asked about her weight I got some song and dance about the angle of the photos. She admitted that her feet hadn't been done in over 5 or 6 months. It was sad, the mare was cute but there was no way I was paying the amount of money she wanted for a sack of bones. The video of her riding was atrocious. Yanking on the poor horses mouth over the fence, elbows all over the place and no style what so ever. All I can say is that I hope she gets rid of all her animals. They deserve better.
Tye Dye had a Dreamhorse ad out a few weeks ago looking for a mare of JB's who has since been sold to the people in MO. I answered the ad not knowing who it was that was looking but knowing the mare had been sold to the people in MO. See this post. I think the people in MO need to be warned about Tye Dye.
Still smells funny.
WOW she is going to produce a modern foal by that clunk. HHAAAH ( Clyde) For what it is worth this is not Tye Dye but Sporthorses R Us (one who bought clunky Overo buck stallion from Tye and then advertised him as a Polish import and changed his name and reg number
Here isanother of the 3rd level baby daddyQuote:

Additional Comments:
Stunning sweet mare, she is confirmed in foal to AWS /RPSI buckskin warmblood stallion for a 3-20-13 foal. This mare is a proven producer of modern type fancy sporthorse foals. She produces a lot of leg, a long refined neck and a very pretty head on her babies. Very easy to get in foal with AI or LC. She is good to handle. Stallion has a successful show record through 3rd level and is 16 hands. He is homozygous for black and cannot produce a chestnut foal. He also carries the overo gene. The foal will be register able in several warmblood registries
In the very first video I posted in the quote I don't understand why you would ride in draw reins for a clinic. Huh?
Ah this has been an entertaining thread. I found it because there is a thin grey TB mare supposedly in foal to the buckskin draft cross, advertised as a polish WB. The ad was still viable this morning. Someone really needs to upgrade the mare as she looks decent-ish.
WTF? She looks horrible. She does need an upgrade.
It REALLY Chafes my a$$ that he is still advertised as a Polish WB. Maybe the mare owner doesn't know better but that SO should be hung. Not only because of the wrong breed but the fact she stole some other horse's pedigree :(
The number in the ad isn't the same that the SO advertises by.
Nothing like a long thread to make my morning a bit more... interesting. ;)
As is proven time and time again: COTHers don't suffer fools lightly. :winkgrin:
I even emailed the person with this mare that is for sale. I told her I wasn't trying to be rude but I wanted her to be aware that he is NOT a Polish WB.
Her reply:
"Just thought I'd let you know if you do a google search of Polish warmblood images. This stallion is listed on the top of page 7. Polish warmblood/RPSI"
Does she mean think that if it came up on a google search it must be true? Any way I wrote her back:
"Hmm I didn't see him. I am familiar with this stallion and he is falsely advertised. Sporthorses R Us had him on her site as a Polish WB with a pedigree. It was stolen from a true Polish WB gelding. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-jd4i6eMiHw
She had him advertised as "Wolny Mischiel".
Pedigree below:
Wolny Mischiel
He is recorded in RPSI book II and is not approved for breeding. That pedigree belongs to a European horse - NOT "Wolny Mischiel" - who is a draft cross from Canada - And doesn't appear to have a valid pedigree available anywhere. "
They can't put anything on the internet that isn't true!
:lol: :lol: :lol:
Google images search result is linked to this site where the alleged Wolny Mysliciel is half way down the page.
Ok and?
It still doesn't make him a Polish WB or a majickly approved for breeding RPSI Book I stallion. They donated a breeding and the information is still false.
This link was actually posted earlier in this thread. We have already seen it.
I would like to know what OLD bloodlines he is bring to the US (from Canada because he isn't imported from Poland). He won his first dressage show with only two entries... YAY for him.Quote:
This young recently discovered stallion may prove to be the cross we have all been looking for. He brings new, OLD bloodlines here the the U.S. Lance cannot sire a red foal he carries a black gene, a creme gene and is also roan! With only 30 days under saddle he won at his very first dressage show. His work ethic, and ridability are incredible. He is a heavier type, and makes the perfect cross on TB and light warmblood mares.
Now he is a Homozyo buckskin and can't sire a chestnut foal. WRONG. This would make him a smokey black. His is not smokey black....
Seriously, these people need to take up Breyer horses! Enough with breeding some random Canadian draft cross who is probably a cast off from the PMU industry liquidating.
That, or one of those online games – where they can make their virtual stables, and make up pedigrees, and impossible colors.
These girls are in fantasy land! Only they are taking REAL people's money – and creating real living and breathing horses. :mad:

Here's what Kryie Irving had to say about Wednesday night's matchup against All-Star point guard Chris Paul of the L.A. Clippers.
"They've made comparisons for me to Chris Paul, he was my favorite player in high school and college," Irving said. "We do some similar things. Two different players. We do have similarities, but I'm not exactly like Chris Paul.
"He's a great point guard and I'm going to have to do my best to try to stop him."
