[Date] 21 weeks 6 days ago [Body] A PSU sweep this week and a strong finish by them outside of a weekend sweep and a loss in the BTT to us still could keep them in the Top 20. Teams ahead of them are going to get bombed in the next couple weeks, and we need is for them to finish in the Top 20 RPI at the end of the season. Damn it would be nice to have a 3rd place game for them to pick up one more win before the season ends. It's funny, you flip either that Ferris St or BU game we lost earlier this year, each by one goal, and we're probably sitting on the bubble line instead of jumping multiple teams. [Title]
Don't give up on that Penn St bonus yet

[Date] 21 weeks 6 days ago [Body] I'm going to imagine things are going to be really volatile through this weekend, and then we'll have a pretty clear picture of how things stand going into the Penn St weekend series. [Title]

[Date] 22 weeks 7 hours ago [Body] I don't think this team can clamp down on defense and win a 1-0 / 2-1 game right now, but I wanted to add some perspective away from the "SWEEP OR DIE" and "FIRERED.COM" mentalitiy I saw on the message boards after the games this weekend. In all honesty, if Wiscy and Michigan St are competent teams in out-of-conference this year, we're probably talking about can we stil get a 2 or 3 seed instead of can we still get in the tourney. The weakness of the conference overall is a anchor like no other we've seen in contemporary Michigan hockey history. [Title]
I'm of the same mind

[Date] 22 weeks 1 day ago [Body] Probably. We'd need to win all seven remaining and probably beat Penn st or Minnesota in a b1g tourney game, and then we're still probably hoping Yale, Harvard, and /or Vermont piss their pants with losing streaks and an early conference tourney loss. Stranger things have happened but this team isn't showing the testicular fortitude to have me give them benefit of doubt. It'd probably b1g tourney or bust at this point. [Title]

[Date] 22 weeks 3 days ago [Body] for Brackeology reasons, as long as majority chalk holds in the major conference tourneys (American Hockey can go f itself) realistically we're battling Yale, Harvard, and Vermont for the last at-large seed. Yale and Harvard have a great chance to cannibalize themselves in the last weeks of the ECAC race, and Vermont probably needs a big run in the Hockey East tourney to pick up some RPI points. We finish strong in 1st or 2nd place in the B1G and make the BTT final, we're probably in. [Title]

[Date] 22 weeks 3 days ago [Body] Yale, Harvard, and Providence (3 non-B1G teams ahaed of us in PWR right now) have difficult weekends. Yale's got two road games against ranked Qunnipiac and unranked Princeton, Harvard has a three set this weekend with conference roadies against ranked St Lawrence and unranked Clarkson, but then also has a Beanpot game against BC on Monday.Providence has a home-and-home against UMass. I could easily see Yale dropping both, Harvard dropping all three and Providence splitting, giving us a chance to make up some ground if we can sweep. Vermont is tied with us in PWR and they've got a fairly light weekend with a pair against Merrimack. Minnesota and Penn St are playing in a swap weekend. Gophers sweep, they probably have the inside track to the regular season title and possibly an at-large spot. A split and everybody resets (maybe Michigan and Minnesota get one spot closer in PWR due to a Minnesota drop) for next weekend's pressure cooker. A Penn St sweep at home with a sweep by us probably means a Chinese fire drill in the PWR standings with B1G teams as Michigan would probaly move ahead of Minnesota and Penn St would take Michigan's buble spot with Minnesota behind them. I'm still holding out hope that a 7-1 or 8-0 finish to the regualr season with a B1G tourney finalist showing means we get an at-large 4 seed. [Title]
Ground can be made up quick in PWR

[Date] 22 weeks 4 days ago [Body] with a slight tweak (for the other sports too). All HS players are eligible and if a team drafts you, you can either sign with them immediately or wait 2-3 years. HOWEVER, the pro team that drafts you then becomes responsible for paying your cost of attendance in order to keep your draft rights. If they don't like the school you chose or you're not developing as they'd hope, then they can drop the financial assistance and the school then has to guarantee the remainder of your eligibility. Basicaly, the pro team gets your draft rights and if you're good enough right away, there's no barrier to you playing right away (Kobe, Garnett, LeBron, etc). If the pro team has a logjam at your position for 1-2 years, they can "stash you away" in college for a couple years (much like how the NHL used to use the European leagues). If you develop fast, you're eligible to play in 2 years in the pros at which point the proteam has sunk $50-100k in you (cheaper than a D-league deal), your college has benefitted from 2 years of activity, and you've had 2 years to build a "brand" for yourself. If you're a slow developing player, the proteam gets a mature player for the cost of $100-200k or is a sunk cost if they player doesn't develop at which point the player has a chance to prove his worth to someone else and the proteam is off the hook for way less than the cost of a Corleone Young contract. [Title]
I'd be down with a MLB / NHL model

[Date] 22 weeks 6 days ago [Body] the actual team is going to goon it up as much as humanly (and even then some) possible. They're going to take from the Stan Van Gundy playbook and "Form a F*g Wall" at the blue line and dare us to try and execute a successful dump and chase or force the referees to call obstruction penalties. It's going to be messy like an Ohio State spelling bee. [Title]

[Date] 22 weeks 6 days ago [Body] If we can go 7-1 or 8-0 in the home stretch, and then get to the finals of the BTT, I think we can absorb a loss in the finals and sneak in as a 4 seed. Those two games against Penn St are absolutely crucial because of the road win bonus possible. You gotta know though, that Sparty's gonna Spart like they've never Sparted before that last weekend, especially the Friday night game. If Michigan's on a six game win streak going into the last weekend, that Friday night game at Munn is going to be like watching the real life verion of the Syracuse Bulldogs from Slap Shot. They may even bring back Corey Tropp to guest star as Ogie Oglethorpe. [Title]
I still think we have a shot as an at-large

[Date] 23 weeks 1 day ago [Body] Pairwise in the 10-20 range is still going to be really volatile with all the wcha teams in the mix. 7-1 gets us the b1g title and we make it to the finals at the Joe we're sitting at a solid 3 seed. Unfortunately I think we're probably going to go 6-2 which then probably means a mandatory finals appearance in the BTT, with a loss to either Minnesota or Penn st in the finals so they don't steal our bid. I'm more worries about our goaltending than anything else. We can't afford to go "hot hand" b/c that implies somebody screwed up the game before. Red needs to find a magic button to get competency for 8 games. [Title]
7-1 we're in

Outside of that, the only character that comes off any where near sympathetic is Affleck's sister. The movie is just... yeesh. I would not wish (SPOILER ALERT) what happened to Doogie Howser on any man / woman / child / OSU recruit (too soon?). That was just wrong and the movie captured it in all the nasty gory detail it could. Then when Amy comes home, that's just one cold-hearted chick. [Title]

[Date] 24 weeks 5 hours ago [Body] When Shapiro and Duderstadt made the move to more insulate the university from the ups and downs of state funding via capital campaigns and endowment growth, they were SO successful that Michigan legislatures took notice. When push came to shove in the budget battles of the 90's and 2000's and the State was in generally bad financial shape, the university could realistically absorb the hit in state funding b/c they had the endowment,they had the donations, and they had the economics to support the tuition increases. What has happened since then is an ugly self-licking ice cream cone like vortex of bad analogies: - State needs to save money - State reduces money to Michigan - Michigan absorbs the hit intially - Michigan raises tuition and fundraising - Michigan recoups the financial hit while maintaining deisrablilty - State sees Michigan can absbors financial hit and book keeps that for the next time - Rinse, repeat. At this point, unless Michigan is forced via Regents action (Michigan legislature has no power really at this point, b/c they are by constitution not supposed to intrude on University business and the only power they have is via the pocketbook, of which there is little they contribute on an annual basis) or voluntarily (HA!) decide to cut or hold tuition reductions, OR has a massive downturn in donations / endowment, they're not going to get more state money without demonstrable loss in educational quality. U of M can't afford to play that bluff because then their rankings / prestige / ability to lure in research dollars will be affected. So it's a giant Cold War standoff where each side plays defense until a significant stimulus occurs on either side to really change the calculus. So in the end, the policies that Michigan enacted to isolate themselves from fluctations in state funding in the 80's / 90's have been realised in a way that basically guarantees Michigan will not get significant funding from the State, until such point the State feels the University is no longer providing sufficient value to the State (which is not going to happen if the State's investment is minimal). I'm no game theoretician, but that seems to me to be some pretty f*d up Prisoners Dilemma. [Title]
Well it's kind of a self fulfilling prophecy

[Date] 24 weeks 6 hours ago [Body] but "illegal alien"? That's a factual term. So instead I need to say "undocumented non-citizen without legal authority to establish long term residency via official citizenship"? From Webster's: alien: a resident born in or belonging to another country who has not acquired citizenship by naturalization. illegal: contrary or forbidden by statute You want to remind people to not use derogatory, racially or ethinically motivated speech on campus? Fine go ahead. Start a public shame campaign to bastardize terminology used correctly in the process of a political debate? I have an issue. Provide greater stigmatism to the use of n****r, "dumb Polock", cracker, camel jockey, and loads of other loaded terms. But "crazy", "insane" and "illegal alien"? CUMONG, man. This is the creep some of us are worried about. When the language gets hi-jacked to meet political ends, that's some Ministry of Truth shit right there. And also, is it OK if LGBT groups use the word "gay" (I mean it's the G in LGBT) or are there going to be exceptions added to the bottom of the posters identifying which groups are allowed to use which words at which times and in which contexts? What about when a group of students from Detroit get together and criticize each others dress as being "way the hell too ghetto" (I've been in this conversation)? Is that acceptable? While the intention is nice, the effect is a polarized, tensioned populace instead of a more civil and respectful one, because no one knows which word is next to be considered offensive and by whom. And when we lose the language, we lose the fundamental weapon in the fight against tyrrany. And tyrrany is a real thing that needs to have steadfast watch over. This is why I'm passionate about this, and this is why I worry about this. Also, I hope Patsy Cline, Gnarls Barkley, Van Morrison, Beyonce (both upbeat mid-2000's version and into BDSM soundtracks version) receive a stern talking to or protests when / if they show up on campus for a concert.

Fine with reminding people to not use offensive language

[Date] 24 weeks 10 hours ago [Body] this was brought up during a discussion and the professor at the time said a legal analysis of that proposal done in the mid-90's determined that since the University was listed in the Michigan constitution as a state created entity, it would require a constitutional amendment disbanding the Board of Regents as well as dissolving the University charter. This would then open the university up to a huge legal challenge as to what lands they actually own in Ann Arbor (and a MASSIVE property tax bill almost immediately), potentially lawsuits by aggrieved students on perceived "misconduct" by the UM Public Safety department, and dissolution of faculty / staff union contracts since the signatory agent would be no more, potentially exposing a lot of employees to danger on their compensation including retirement. Not to mention that at the time there was a lot of confusion as to how the UM Health System would be treated in that situation. Overall, while it probably sounds awesome to say "F the State! Let's go private!", the benefits the U gets from being an agent of the State of Michigan even without significant cash funding is probably too great to overcome. [Title]

[Date] 24 weeks 10 hours ago [Body] but I always thought an interesting aspect to the U of California / AffAction debate is that after the Proposition got passed prohibiting race as factor in admissions, minority finishing rates for 4-yr degrees actually went up since many minorities who were underqualified for the top tier schools for whatever reason you want to argue (UCLA, Cal Berkeley, etc) got admitted instead to the second tier schools (UCSB, UCSC, UCSD, etc), and actually finished the degree programs. Also, Asian ethnic proportion at the top tier schools skyrocketed. [Title]

[Date] 24 weeks 11 hours ago [Body] 1- One of the reasons Michigan punched above its weight economically for so long was that many of its graduates from its fine public institution in Ann Arbor stayed in the state after graduation to work in the manufacturing / mining / industrial finance sectors. From the 1900s through the end of the 1960s, Detroit and Michigan were "boom" areas in the nation because of the auto industry, industrial refining capacity (agricultural processing and trade processing with Canada), and the fact it was a pretty nice damn place to live with a reasonably laid out metropolitan areas and the lure of "up north" / Great Lakes for recreation. Even those big money grads from out of state who left Michigan after graduation still contributed mightily to the state by vacationing in Michigan (Chicagoans who frequented the Lake Michigan side most prominently). 2- In state kids have an emotional attachment to stay in the local area and thereby use that skill set built in Michigan to build up the local economy, which in turn help(ed) the university by building the state tax base that used to reflect back in state funding. Shapiro's work (see previous comment) when he was a professor proved true about diversifying the financial base of the university to weather economic cycles and hence state funding, but by relying on more OOS for the financial base, you lose the emotional and regional connections which make Michigan, Michigan, not Long Island West or Eastern Chicago or Detachment Beijing. A state university has to have a fundamental mission to improve the state its located in, or else it will lose the popular support for the university. 3- one of the reasons the University developed so fast into the educational powerhouse it became while being in such a backwoods location as rural Michigan was its embrace of a pragamatic career driven educational model (The German or Humboltian method) as opposed to a classical recitation / English-Latin model. That's why professional type programs such as the hard sciences, law, engineering, medicine, dentistry, education (teaching), and even military science formed such a basis of the Unviersity's growth. That philosophical basis is what made Michigan unique from its oft comapred Ivy competition and a major factor in why we sucked in so many successful OOS in the past-- we weren't just a landing pad for the societal elite, we were focused on making you productive members of society in a highly competitive atmosphere. I fear the more prevailing trend is that Michigan is becoming a stopping place for InSt, OOS and international students on their way to becoming "socially acceptable" (but not necessarily productive) members of society. "Sure you're $80k in debt and you can't find a job in your career field for more than $35k / yr, but you have a Michigan degree in comparitive studies X, and you were so involved in Social Cause Y, that people should respect you." 4- Diversity... Michigan as a state is pretty damn diverse with ethnic populations from multiple areas in Europe (we're not all "white guys"), the Middle East, African Americans, and now even Asians as Asian industrial companies set up shop in Michigan as political buffers to "buy American" reactionism have taken root and 2nd/3rd generation implants are maturing and indigenous-izing (forgive the word creation). I'm always amazed in the "problems" our university leadership claim they have in developing a "diverse" student body per their current definitions of ethnicity / racial status.. if they just focused on harvesting the geographic diversity from the in-state population instead of admitting whatever OOS metric they use to do this, I think our campus would be pretty reflective of society in general and *shockingly* would look pretty "diverse" in the current vernacular as well. I've always been in favor of the "Top X students from every HS in Michigan are admitted" type policy for that reason- you get the diversity in the population and you also get top performers as well, which is supposed to be basis of our excellence. 5- International students: I'm troubled by the "more kids from China than from any singular state" in the student population trend cited in the thread. I understand those who want to argue about exporting our culture to the international students to take back, but I think that's not what's happening in most cases. I think there's a national security aspect to this that I don't like (sorry for my primal tribalism), I don't like that our admissions / administration / research faculty are essentially letting themselves get bought by the lure of foreign money, and I'm not sure I buy into the cultural exchange benfit argument as my experience has been that international students tend to self-segregate themselves with other students from their country-- especially PRC students where fear of political retribution in the home country is high. Lots of thoughts, I'm sure lots that people will disagree with. [Title]

[Date] 24 weeks 6 days ago [Body] I'd consider any team not between 85 and 90 after signing day to not be doing their job. You're going to have unexpected early draft entries, behavioral dismissals, transfers, injuries, academic issues and what not between now and start of fall practice. Having a little cushion is OK. It's the teams that are still at 90 one week away from Fall practice that's a problem. A scholarship athlete figures out after spring ball that he's not going to play, he has the summer to transfer and he shows up for Fall classes / practice and gets a chance either immediately or in one year. With the way scouting has exploded in the NFL, just being from a 1-AA or D2 school is not the death sentence on pro possibilities it once was. I'm 100% against the SEC way of business which is to have over 100 kids on scholarship after signing day, using Spring practice as an extended try-out, then cutting kids a week before fall term starts (looking at you LSU and Alabama). [Title]
Agreed ^^^

If we get any of the other big men in that draft, we transition Wallace out, don't have to sign a broken down C-Webb, and we probably keep contending with a #2 pick/Tayshawn/Chauncey core. We don't make the Chanucey for Iverson trade, we don't make the Gordon / Charlie V signings, and we're probably attractive enough to go get a quality free agent to replace Rip and / or Rasheed.

[Date] 26 weeks 6 days ago [Body] I still think there's going to be some regression in PWR/RPI in the next couple weeks as all those WCHA and NCHC teams stacked in the RPI start playing each other more. I think as long as Michigan stays in the Top 2 in the conference and gets to the conference final in the tourney game, the rest will take care of itself as the other conferences will start to eat themselves, the RPI will normalize somewhat and we'll come in at a 3 or 4 seed in the tourney. Last week's Bracketology on USCHO.com had us as a 4 seed in Providence against Harvard. Me likey those odds. Again, random randomness in hockey tourneys could kill dreams, but I think we're in decent shape all things considered at this point. As I said in a comment on Michigan hockey last week, Michigan needs to basically split against Minnesota the rest of the year, run it up on the bottom 3 in the B1G (OSU, Wiscy, MSU), and if we can take 4 of 6 points or better at Penn St in March, we'll be in. [Title]
I don't think its that dire

[Date] 27 weeks 6 days ago [Body] eating their young in the NCHC and WCHA so if we can dominate the bottom 4 in the B1G and basically split with Minnesota the rest of the year (and not flameout in the conference tourney), the rest of the pack will come back to us and we should get in as a 3 or 4 seed when tourney time comes. The top of the Pairwise is VERY WCHA heavy right now, so as wheat separates from chaff, there'll be enough wiggle room to get 2 B1G teams in, especially if the B1G tourney winner is different from the regular season conference winner. We want to beat Penn St every time from now on, but them have them kick the shit out of MSU, OSU and Wiscy. We need 3 bubble quality teams in the B1G to give us a shot at 2 bids. [Title]

"Given the high profile of this site I don't see why people think it's so completely inconceivable that people with actual sources would post things on scout and rivals but not here." That's not the worry. Given the high profile of this site, can't you also see why some people who are just talking out their ass would like to be worshipped as some news-breaking inside source? Not saying that's the case with this guy, but I don't know either way. I'm not aware of him posting anything here before that had inside info like this. There was a guy last season saying stuff about the team, I think something about playbooks, that a bunch of people immediately took as gospel. He posted other stuff as well and I'm pretty sure it turned out he was full of it.

He's upset he's not playing football and not playing with his teammates anymore. This is not like Boren at all. Boren shit on all his teammates and transferred to OSU. You say he has no evidence, but his evidence is his own body. Yes, he may be wrong and living dangerously playing with multiple concussions, but he has a nervous system. He can feel.

Shit like that really does prevent me from being a bigger soccer fan I feel. Yes, there's some flopping in the NBA, but it's not that bad and it's fairly recent. And I don't watch the NBA anyway. Also, a guy flopping doesn't result in some 15-minute bullshit argument that stops the game for so long. It really wouldn't be that hard to cut down on it. Just need stronger diving rules, perhaps even after the game with some officials making the call.

"What does academic prestige do for an academic institution?" No, that's not my question. I worded it very poorly. What I should have said is how does being in the AAU raise their prestige? Does it actually make them a better university or have better professors? It seems a school joining the AAU just gets to now say it's an AAU member because you fit some criteria. Anyway, Nebraska isn't in the AAU. They were kicked out in 2011. So I guess the B1G doesn't actually have those standards anymore. Is Michigan really worse off because of that? http://espn.go.com/blog/bigten/post/_/id/26078/nebraska-loses-aau-status Wikipedia's AAU page also lists them as former members so I guess nothing has changed. It seems Stanford and Cal do fine with their academic reputations without worrying about their football teams playing other football teams who attend schools that aren't as prestigious.

Yes, but with how ND has partially joined the ACC and conferences and conference championships seem very helpful for getting into the playoff, it seems things have changed. The thing about all the repeated attempts to get ND in the past is that nothing was any different year after year. Realignment and the playoff especially seem to have changed things. Would be great if we could replace Nebraska with ND. No idea about how open ND really is to it though.

Now this is something that can be evaluated. I wouldn't be very happy being a Bo Pelini Nebraska team. I wouldn't accept oversigning. What happened in the post Ace talked about? Eh, I thought it was bad. I'd definitely prefer that it doesn't happen and I'd hope Harbaugh would be put under some pressure. I would definitely accept a few recruits who the staff thought they don't need anymore because of higher-ranked guys knocking on the door if they had already committed. Would rather the staff waited until the next cycle to start picking higher-hanging fruit even if signing up a couple mediocre players cost us a win (don't see how it'd cost more than that for a couple guys who are just so-so). EDIT: Reading who Gameboy was originally replying to and what he said, I'm not sure we really disagree at all actually. I don't think Harbaugh should be fired if he does like he did in Stanford in 2010, but I would like to hear some pointed questions from the media that would cause him to back off of doing that in the future and hopefully a conversation with Hackett behind closed doors (that we would probably never catch wind of).

Win what exactly? The Hoke question was a serious one. What win percentage or number of B1G titles over X number of years would you be happy with? Can you name a coach who is winning conference titles regularly that treats kids well according to your criteria? Again, it's great that you have standards, but it's easy to have standards on overcommitting without having standards on winning. Clearly teams who do shady shit are at an advantage.

It's the same looks I've gotten traveling in Asia, except, ya know, I was in America still. EDIT: Not that anyone cares but this must be some kind of record for me.

[Date] 1 year 8 weeks ago [Body] I almost see that as an excuse to break out something similar to what you outline to give them some punch in the knockout rounds. Front as below with the staggered 4 man look between Bradley/Jones/Zusi/Dempsey with Mixx Central and Zusi/FJohnson looking to exploit the overlap and get crosses into the box while Bradley and Mix go forward: ---------------------Bradley-------------Jones-------------------- Zusi ------------------------Mixx--------------------- -----------------------------------------------Dempsey -------------------------Jozy [Title]
If we go in only needing a point

[Date] 1 year 8 weeks ago [Body] but I think packing the middle of the field is our rock/paper/scissors decision as stretching ourselves thinner in the back 6 only exposes us further. IMO we look to neutralize the Ghanian midfield and make them play wide by building centrally. We don't have the personnel to execute a 4-3-3, I agree. To play with the personality types you'd be looking for, however I would offer up Yedlin and Bedoya getting 45 minutes of pure sprinting to support the outside backs. Either way I would bet heavily against us trotting this out against either Portugal or Germany but hey... let's have a fun discussion. (Btw, this looks promising in 2018 w/ either of Yedlin/Johnson out wide and J Green opposite them and Aron/Jozy up top, MB and ??Gil?? centrally) ------------------------------Howard------------------------------ F. Johnson ------ Cameron ----- Besler -------- Beasley ----------------------------Beckerman--------------------------- --------------------Bradley -----------Jones ----------------- Yedlin/Bedoya-------------------------------------Dempsey --------------------------------------- Altidore -------------- [Title]
Completely agree on narrow-ness

[Date] 1 year 8 weeks ago [Body] Really love the soccer pieces. I'd roll out what would loosely be considered a 4-1-3-2 looking something like this to remove the Bedoya/Zusi/Not Donovan issues. Keep it narrow and depend on width from Beasley and FJ, using Jozy in moments of "defensive mashing of buttons" and letting Aron Bacon run off him, and Dempsey to set him up otherwise. Pros: eliminates moments of extreme "WTF IS EVERYONE" because Beckerman and here's praying that MB/JJones don't kamakaze forward often while still allowing MB to be in a more comfortable CM role, Cons: lack of width, speed and crossing ability outside of FJ, also completely new ------------------------------Howard------------------------------ F. Johnson ------ Cameron ----- Besler -------- Beasley ----------------------------Beckerman--------------------------- ---------------Bradley -------------------Jones ----------------- ------------------------------------------Dempsey --------------- ----------------Aron Johannsson ---- Altidore -------------- [Title]
One of my favorite times of MGoReadership

[Date] 1 year 27 weeks ago [Body] Reminds me of another Mike... Mike Shaw. Except with better hands and a bit more weight/mass. Could be a great complement to the bigger backs, and develop into an eventual every down back. [Title]
Like his game a lot

[Date] 1 year 33 weeks ago [Body] Both basketball. First time I came down with a rebound on a guy's foot in a pile during an AAU game, knee buckled inward and tore ACL/MCL/Lateral meniscus (buckethandle tear), second time I pivoted wrong going down the floor avoiding a guy coming at me, tore ACL & meniscus so they ended up removing the meniscus. Both happened within 3 or so years of each other, between summer going into my senior year of HS and Jr. year of college. Always good feeling like an old man at 27 whenever it's below freezing, but I can still run and stay active enough, even if I don't hoop anymore. [Title]
ACL/MCL/Meniscus, then ACL/Meniscus again
