Who says the degree doesn't matter much? I'm doing a PhD at a reasonably reputable Ivy League school, and I can claim quite honestly that OSU's department (in terms of faculty renown) is superior to the one I'm in. Also, I didn't see anything that Tressel or Pryor did that Rodriguez or, say, Taylor would be doing if the roles were reversed.

[Date] 6 years 36 weeks ago [Body] Nick Sheridan, a former walkon, was thrust into this role by pure circumstance. I am willing to bet that not even in his wildest imagination did he ever think that he would possibly be the starting quarterback in the Ohio State-Michigan game. This was, in all likelihood, the last action he will see in a game. What I'll remember about him, however, is getting back up and running and playing as hard as he could despite getting destroyed again and again by Laurinaitis et al. That's courage, plain and simple. He was the starting quarterback for Michigan at the 'Shoe. Not only that but there was even a moment early in the third quarter, despite all the improbability, when it seemed that Michigan could tie the game at 14-14. By virtue of those two facts he has accomplished more than virtually any of us could claim when we were his age. [Title]

[Date] 6 years 37 weeks ago [Body] Is there a more reasonable explanation, particularly for Babb and Chambers? The broader point was, however, that certain reasons for ending your participation in some group enterprise (in this case transferring from a football team) entails real costs on the other members of the group. The duties and responsibilities for team and player seem to be reciprocal. Barring particularly unbecoming or unfair behavior on the part of the coaches or severe mitigating circumstances (as discussed re: McGuffie above), I think it's legitimate to express one's displeasure at the decision to dissolve one's responsibilities to the group, which the first poster did albeit in an inelegant fashion.

Granted, neither Artis Chambers nor Zion Babb were ever going to be showcase players on this team. They provided a role, however, and their attrition diminishes the team's depth and the value of their sporadic contributions. It also diminishes the collective game experience this team has, which seems especially crucial in a transition such as this. Is it therefore so illegitimate to be unmoved when players decide to leave the program because, in their estimation, their role on Saturdays is not substantial enough? [Title]

[Date] 6 years 40 weeks ago [Body] I only started paying attention to recruiting a couple years ago, but it seems that decommitments have become a much more significant issue each passing year. Not just for Michigan, but in general (though it has seemed to affect Michigan particularly hard this year). What explains this? Are coaches putting more pressure on students to commit much earlier in the recruiting process, before they have had a chance to take visits to multiple campuses? Are recruits just more schizophrenic and more apt to decommit (for whatever reason) today compared to the past? Will this make it more likely that we will see an early signing period in football in the near future, as in basketball? [Title]

So even if you compiled all the data on years in which stadium renovations took place and the team's won-loss record for those years and then ran the regressions, the results almost certainly would not be statistically significant. Third, if it would not be such a waste of time I'm sure I could find many cases that directly refute your hypothesis relatively easily. [Title]

[Date] 6 years 43 weeks ago [Body] Well, your powers of foresight are no doubt impressive, but his verbal was hardly "obvious." Indeed, there were compelling reasons for him to go elsewhere: 1. Desire to live in a different part of the country. 2. Uneasiness with having one's father as a coach. 3. Feelings that a different program would be a better "fit," in terms of style of play, etc. 4. Other personal reasons such as rapport with the coaches or players of another program, etc. Same reason that, say, many children of U-M professors decide to leave Ann Arbor for college/university. And to call anyone out for not thinking he was a 100% "lock" to U-M is a bit... lame. [Title]

Last fall I went to McFadden's several times, which is a sports bar downtown, on Smith St. There were always several other college football fans there (which was a bit surprising, because college football is not big in RI), including Big Ten fans and, on occasion, other Michigan fans. Spat's, which is just off Thayer and near the Brown campus, would be another option. If you post an e-mail at which I could contact you I'll be in touch; would be nice to watch the games this fall with another M fan.

How would this not apply to, say, a middle class white guy from Southfield, too? Would his parents be able to travel to, say, LSU seven times per year to watch him play? I think it's highly likely that the vast majority of D-1 football players (just like the vast majority of regular students) attend a school within 200 miles of where they grew up. I fail to see why it is so surprising that guys from the South are reluctant to go too far away for college, therefore. What would be surprising is if there *were* a lot of movement cross-regionally.

[Date] 6 years 42 weeks ago [Title] Absolutely hilarious. [Body]
Absolutely hilarious. Brilliant. - Supported outlawing any water-going vessels after the Titanic. - Never goes on vacation because there's a possibility it could rain. - Advocated the cancellation of the space program and admitted defeat in the Cold War after Sputnik. - Demands refund at zoo because the monkeys were either (a) sleeping or (b) refused to come out of the cave.

Well, your powers of foresight are no doubt impressive, but his verbal was hardly "obvious." Indeed, there were compelling reasons for him to go elsewhere: 1. Desire to live in a different part of the country. 2. Uneasiness with having one's father as a coach. 3. Feelings that a different program would be a better "fit," in terms of style of play, etc. 4. Other personal reasons such as rapport with the coaches or players of another program, etc. Same reason that, say, many children of U-M professors decide to leave Ann Arbor for college/university. And to call anyone out for not thinking he was a 100% "lock" to U-M is a bit... lame.

"My point, however, is that this was NOT an easy call. This was NOT a 'no-brainer.' And in hindsight, it was the wrong call." You're right, of course, but who's arguing otherwise? I would find it very hard to believe that coaches did not take (2), (3), and (4) into consideration when deciding whether or not to go for two.

"While we were advised BHBH would again be Spring Football Game Weekend, and of the rental price of the stadium" It sounds like the race pays a venue fee for use of the stadium. Maybe not as much as they charge for a wedding or other non-charity event? $6k a pop for one-hour wedding ceremonies is a nice payoff.

Americans for Safe Access vs DEA over the schedule 1 classification could have a significant impact on how this all plays out as far as federal involvement, raids, etc. With regards to sports at the end of the day the school/team/NCAA/NFL can make whatever rules they please and players can either adhere to those rules or face the consequences. I don't think we'll see any rule changes unless recreational use is legalized nationwide like alcohol. I definitely don't see it changing anything at the college level since both states have set a minimum age of 21.

I didn't leave Detroit until Sunday, got stuck in Minneapolis for 2 nights (it was supposed to be 1 night but the agent gave me a ticket for a flight that didn't exist), then flew to Salt Lake and on to Seattle where I spent another night before finally going home. I didn't have my bag the whole time and had to buy some clothes in Minny. So yeah, I arrived home 5 days late and received no compensation from the airlines.

[Date] 13 weeks 4 days ago [Body] The occurance of disasters is an excellent prompt to donate, and I also encourage everyone who can to do so. I'd also encourage everyone to do some research about where their money is going and how it's likely to be used. Specifically, I'd strongly encourage givers to resist the urge in give in such a way that their money is earmarked for Nepalese disaster relief. The bottleneck in providing immediate disaster relief is generally not money (as we saw in post-earthquake Haiti, post-Sandy NY, post-tsunami Japan, etc.), and making generalized donations now can help improve the responses available for future disasters. Along these lines, Felix Salmon, in the aftermath of Sandy, made what I thought was a strong case for giving to MSF rather than the Red Cross: "Which isn’t to say that donating money is a bad idea, when disasters hit. But it is to say that donating money to the Red Cross might not be the best use of your dollars. My advice is to give instead to MSF, or an organization like it, which is dealing with disasters every day of the year. That gave them the experience ability to respond quickly when disaster struck in the USA — and it also means that if your money would be put to more urgent use somewhere else, like Zimbabwe or Honduras or Chad, then that’s where it will go. We should spend as much money as is needed here — but don’t force the matter and earmark $117 million for Sandy relief, when no one knows whether even the Red Cross thinks it can sensibly spend that much. The Red Cross didn’t need to promise to spend all that money on Sandy and Sandy alone, but it made that promise anyway." [Title]

[Date] 20 weeks 1 day ago [Body] So in otherwords: you like the aspect of the uniform that looks very much like a million other uniforms Michigan basketball has worn, but you're not a huge fan of the glaring dick-cumberbun that's been vomited onto the shorts? To me, that would mean that I don't like the uniform. [Title]

[Date] 21 weeks 14 hours ago [Body] I never played past high school, but I did manage to accumulate a fair amount of joint injury: a torn ACL/meniscus and four subsequent knee surgeries and continued wear left me unable to do anything ballistic with my legs at a young age, and I already have a fair amount of arthritis in that knee and same-side hip, both of which I assume will have to get replaced at some point going forward. I know that this pails in comparison to the joint injury/pain that a lot of guys go through, but I say it to establish the fact that I can appreciate the costs of joint damage. That said, I'm grateful that, aside from getting my bell rung a few times, I never accumulated much head trauma. I just see a qualitative difference between brain injury and bodily injury; bodily injury can alter your life, making it inconvenient and painful (in ways that I acknowledge can be pretty awful), but brain injury can fundamentally change who you are. And this is what I, and I assume others, find so frightening about the risk from concussions. I could see myself with full information trading a few years of playing a sport that I love for a future of moderate physical disability. I could never see myself making that trade for a future of middle-aged advanced dementia. [Title]

[Date] 21 weeks 5 days ago [Body] Honest, straight-faced answer: I would give zero fucks if I was largely clueless about where guys would end up before they committed somewhere. I would care more about losing scouting content, but that content doesn't seem to me to be dependent on the element of the business model in question. [Title]

[Date] 21 weeks 5 days ago [Body] I dunno, man. I have a really hard time swallowing the notion of statements of fact about the world as property. Whatever the legal framework, items of prose seem to me to be qualitatively different from kernels of knowledge, and it seems to me that the latter can't properly 'belong' to anybody. Granted, there's a collective action problem here; if everybody gets info for free, then nobody gets paid to collect it, and everybody gets less recruiting bits. But I feel confident in saying that the socially optimal level of recruit pestering is way lower than what goes on now. [Title]

[Date] 24 weeks 4 days ago [Body] In requesting that people not say certain things because other people find them hurtful and demeaning, the university isn't providing a nudge to exercise self-control so much as it's letting people know that some of those things actually are hurtful and demeaning to others. I used to say a lot of things in friendly conversation that I now consider socially unacceptable and, with the exception of the occcasional slip up, rarely use. It's not because I'm so much more in possession of myself, but because I now realize in ways that I didn't before that I was kind of being an asshole. [Title]

[Date] 24 weeks 4 days ago [Body] Belle Waring: "98% of what people angrily claim is “Political Correctness” is just manners. Politeness. If something I were saying at a dinner party offended another guest and my host explained why, I would stop saying that thing, in all likelihood. I myself used to call things “retarded” all the time when I was a kid, and I carried it into adulthood, and then people on the internet made it clear that they found this hurtful and demeaning, so I stopped. I explained to my children, I have a left-over bad habit in that I will occasionally call something retarded and it’s not an appropriate thing to say; will you please correct me when I do it? Thinking about what I wanted my children to say helped me here. Likewise, although I don’t know that I said anything particularly unpleasant about it ever, I was comparatively ignorant about issues facing trans people until some years back. Does this make me angry because the word “cisgender” exists now? No, because I’m not an asshole." [Title]

[Date] 26 weeks 4 days ago [Body] This raises an interesting point over what counts as "political". I'm assuming that you're objecting to the comments on race and racism because they cross the no-politics line. But I'd argue that discussing the stability of Grosse Pointe's elite status without acknowledging that the form of segregation from which it draws its status represents one of the biggest moral failings of 20th Century America is, at the very least, a tad political.

Yes, 22yos are often asked to bear tremendous military burdens, and we should all solemnly introduce this point in as many threads as possible.
