e24cc46f_turd_ferguson___mgoblog__Title | [Date] 1 week 1 day ago [Body] I think the original critique/concern was way overstated, but I'll admit that I have some questions, too. I'd feel great about all of the low-rated guys if those guys were clearly at the top of our coaches' lists. But they've given out a ton of offers this year, so it hasn't been quite that targeted. And I'm a little uneasy about how many teammates/brothers/etc. of high-level recruits seem to be getting offers. At times it seems like we're willing to use two or three roster spots to (maybe) get one top guy. Unless it's for a Rashan Gary-level recruit, I'm not sold on that approach. Having said that, I'll cut the coaches - and especially these coaches - a ton of slack on guys they've worked with at camps. And I agree with WolvinLA that recruiting, while important, gets so much attention now that its importance is exaggerated. It's also nice to see comments from Drevno, at Michigan [link] and before then [link], that basically say Harbaugh's the best talent evaluator he's ever seen.

I guess we had to make up for that absence with our pure ambition- nope, can't have that unless I am UMAA or Ivy pedegree (but apparently not Cornell or Brown.) Some day, when I am lying on me death bed and my mind revisits my life, I will finally comprehend why there was such a huge empty chasm in my soul.

1dbe725a_UMinOhio___mgoblog__Title | [Date] 13 weeks 5 days ago [Body] I went to UM-Flint back when it was still split into two campuses: the science/math building and the CROB campus. I enrolled because my father told me I could go there and he would pay tuition, or go somehwhere else and I would. It was a no-brainer, as I had no money whatsoever. I don't know if I could have enrolled at Ann Arbor, for I had major surgery in my freshman year in HS and my grades suffered. I likely could have transfered into AA after two years at Flint, but I met my future wife there and my path was set, as she is much more important than the prestige of AA. I got my degree and went to UM AA for grad school, and later med school at the UM way down south (YTM.) I do tell people that I graduated from UM-Flint; that is on my CV. I donate money to UM-Flint, not Ann Arbor. I love Ann Arbor, my son is finishing off his Masters there following his BSE last year, and I consider both schools my collegiate home (but not YTM.) I am not ashamed to any extent of my degrees. Are the schools different? Of course, as UM-Flint still has a large commuter and older student population, and a goal of servicing these students in a cost-effective manner. I would bet that the students generally come from poorer backgrounds, often blue-collar, and often working their way through school as I did. The drop out rate is much higher as a result. I found my professors much better teachers at the expense of not having much ability to mentor research. UM AA is a much more research-intense environment, with more higher-level high school applicants, with a lot of classes taught by TAs of varying ability and interest. The best students at Flint are equal with the best at AA, (and I have/do know many extremely smart and talented individuals), but as others have pointed out there are greater number of the best in AA overall. I now live and work in Ohio. For 99.9% of Ohio I am merely the Michigan fan from up north. I consider myself a Michigan grad. They don't care from which campus I got my degree, or even know of the existance of satellite campuses, just like most Michiganders don't know all the OSU campuses. As far as work goes the name on your undergrad parchment does not have a lot of advantage for many, perhaps most, jobs. As soon as you get into college your HS diploma is nearly forgotten, and when you get into grad/professional school your undergrad degree soon loses value, and when you get a job only your effort , drive, and results have long-lasting meaning (unless you are named Jeb). I could not tell you where 95% of my residents did their undergrad, but I know where they finished Med School. Rambling over.

1dbe725a_UMinOhio___mgoblog__Title | [Date] 18 weeks 4 days ago [Body] You have to scramble and try to find a program in the field you wish to study that did not fill all of it's residency slots. Depending on the specialty you are interested in it may be fairly easy (but you have to be flexible where you are going to live for a number of years, and it may not be the best program) or impossible for the upcoming year (in the very popular specialties.) Occasionally a slot opens up because of unforeseen events and you may be able to wiggle your way into the slot if you are at the right place at the right time; more often you either start training in a less popular field and try to transfer after a year, or do a research year somewhere to burnish your resume' and try again the following year. If you did not get into a less popular field to begin with you likely had a bad academic record, did not interview at enough instititions, are bad at interviewing, or went to school off-shore or a DO school ( and I have had residents fom both, one of whom later became my partner, but the success rate from these schools is lower, particularly is you apply for residencies on the coastlines or heavy academic/research universities.)

1dbe725a_UMinOhio___mgoblog__Title | [Date] 18 weeks 4 days ago [Body] I did the match 25 years ago and fortunately managed to get my first choice. I now sit on a residency committee and interview and rank med student applicants every year. I agree that the match feels arbitrary and can be a very vexing, often expensive, and nerve-racking experience that can result in great highs or utter disappointment. I remember some med school classmates being devistated that they matched a thousand miles away from where they wanted to settle down, or not match into the field they wanted. Now being on the other side of the ranking system my colleagues and I are often amused by the number of interviewing applicants that are clearly using us as practice for later more coveted programs, cancel an hour before the interview session, or tell us how much they want to join our program only for us to find out that the matched in a completely different field of study. The interview system for us also lasts months and takes a lot of our time we could be doing patient-care or teaching. At least the match is supposed to be more slanted to the applicants than the programs' ranking compared to decades ago. I know that not every resident who joins our program had us listed in their top couple choices. We work hard to make their time with us productive, happy, and resulting in successful board accrediation and acreers. I am not at all perturbed that neither of my kids did not choose medicine as a career. Many of my residents have 200-400K in debt after 6 years of post-grad training. I remember being elated that after med school I could finally read a novel instead of a textbook.

If you are planning to enter a more competitive field then a great score is necessary. I am an associate residency advisor for a competitive field and interview 40-50 candidates; about 300-350 applications are filtered. What is a great score? 250-255. The score can be lower if you are applying in the Midwest, or smaller community-based programs, or if you have ties with the program. Doing an away rotation helps tremendously, especially if you are active and help with a paper or poster.

Seriously though I've been looking for the right sponsor for our Podcast for a long, long time, and when Liz left the beer company she was working for to break out as a consultant and real estate agent, I approached her specifically for this, and made the price a secondary concern because she's the right kind of sponsor. She is, like Harbaugh, herself at full volume all the time, and part of the fabric of the Ann Arbor and Michigan Athletics community. With most of the things I sell we're just helping them market their thing because we have the right audience to market their thing.

We are doing other things with the alumni association (announcement to come). We also did an event with Todd Howard the night before the 2013 Northwestern (firedrill field goal) game that I put together. We had planned on doing that again, and had the venue chosen and everything, but Michigan was so unwatchable leading up to M00N that we canceled it. Maybe we'll do one after the season. Anyway if/when we do it'll be the second the Chicago Alumni Association Club asks us because they are an excellent group to work with. I think they're coming into town for Northwestern (homecoming) this year.

9dd7cfa8_Seth___mgoblog__Title | [Date] 4 days 9 hours ago [Body] One of the keys to all of this is Nebraska isn't leaving the Big Ten; everybody is joining the Big Ten, formerly known as the Intercollegiate Conference of Faculty Representatives, so that for the sake of TV rights and whatnot all the powers are negotiating as one entity, and scheduling each other. I know it's a pipedream. What I don't want to see is the organic method of growing from a bunch of conferences into a league, because all that does incentivize the current conferences to snatch up any program bigger than a MAC school in a colonial land-grab, which is exactly how we found ourselves in a 7-team division with Maryland and Rutgers while Iowa and Wisconsin and Purdue come around less often than Utah. The conferences grew organically well enough when television was regional and limited to four networks, and declaring a national champion was just a nerdy postseason excercise between professions that have to pay half attention. Today conferences are billion dollar corporations with their television networks, yet theyr'e still functioning under a system that expects them to be faculty representatives from elitist, non-profit educational institutions. The NCAA had their chance to become a true regulatory body, but instead chose to act more like an industry trade organization*. The best thing for college football right now would be to acknowledge that the regional conferences that grew out of the 20th century are anachronisms worth preserving, like historic neighborhoods or whatever. Without that familiar structure the whole enterprise is at risk of becoming too desaturated, i.e. an NFL-lite, which is a crappier product fewer people will care about. When ESPN inevitably defaults on whichever round of promises it has to make to secure the TV rights to the last bastion of un-DVR'able entertainment, the BIG SIX or POWER SIX or whatever you want to term it will be in perfect position to cut Fox and Disney out of their revenue stream and make what they're making now by charging $5/month and selling ads themselves on a streaming college football channel. The Big Ten is just the body out of convenience; the organizing structure of any major conference is sufficient to expand to include the 60-64 schools that operate truly professional-level (i.e. highly profitable) football enterprises. Technically everyone joins the Big Ten, or joins a new conference that handles all the "conference" stuff for the group, and is such a tour de force in college athletics that the NCAA has to kowtow to it. I have no problem trying to fit Baylor and TCU into this (TT might be a stretch since their school's athletic budget is MAC-like despite the school's history). I only left them out because I thought a Texas-based mid-major conference would make for some rockin' good regional football. * Specifically, one for mid-19th century cotton growers [Title] | One of the keys to all of | [] | Seth | mgoblog | Title | http://mgoblog.com/users/seth?page=0%2C0%2C94%2C0%2C0%2C1%2C1 | 49/1438042988962.66_20150728002308-00181-ip-10-236-191-2_162941698_0.json |

9dd7cfa8_Seth___mgoblog__Title | [Date] 1 week 2 days ago [Body] Every fan of every team makes all of these same statements about why their school is better, and totally clean too. Fact is the athletes are picking between heavens. Most campuses are beautiful. Most support staff are top notch. FBS coaches are among the top 200 in their profession. NFL talent comes out of so many schools that which coaches develop a position best has to mean less than what that individual player is made of (not that it doesn't matter, especially w/ quarterbacks). A little something extra makes a big difference because there isn't much difference between schools. As for fans, this site's existence when every other indie team site but 11 Warriors can't support even one blogging career speaks to something unique about Michigan fans' dedication.

9dd7cfa8_Seth___mgoblog__Title | [Date] 1 week 3 days ago [Body] The charter schools are taking a few students. But the bigger effect is we built for a temporary population disruption. In the 1960s, 85% (that's ridiculously high) of Bloomfield Hills homes had school-age children. Today that's under 50%. Those numbers were repeated ad nauseum in the local paper/e-newsletter (Patch) during the merging of their high schools. Farmington won't be exactly like that--iBloomfield Hills was built almost entirely after the war and immediately filled with vets starting families, whereas Farmington was a thriving farming town for a century before it became a suburb. But that illustrates why, despite the population not being as hard hit as most of Michigan, these districts are still downsizing. A bit of school funding history: up until I was in college (and Engler was governor) your property taxes went right to the school district. Communities like Ann Arbor, Birmingham, Bloomfield Hills, and Farmington voluntarily raised their property taxes to create elite schools. The rule itself though ultimately created an effect of really good schools in affluent areas and awful schools in poor areas, which isn't really fair considering the state should be providing a good education to all of its citizenry. So the state pooled everybody's property taxes into the state fund, shifted half of them to prisons, and doled out the rest evenly. In response these communities started passing regular bonds. Every few elections there's a bond issue on the ballot, everybody winks at each other, and we pass it, and that money can't be touched by the state. But it does raise the price of living here, because paying off the "bonds" is effectually a permanently increased property tax. It means if you're planning on sending your kid to private school, you can save money by buying a house in another suburb. School choice is a politically charged thing that affects everywhere because there are parents who prefer privitized institutions everywhere. I don't think it's a primary effect in this particular case because the #1 reason people live in Farmington in the first place is the public schools. West Bloomfield is right smack in between Farmington Hills and Bloomfield Hills, but WB has relatively crappy (read: "just pretty good") schools, and far lower taxes because they don't pass school bonds.

9dd7cfa8_Seth___mgoblog__Title | [Date] 1 week 4 days ago [Body] I'm not advocating. I'm trying to explain what's going on in my community. We have half as many kids as when all four schools were built, and one routinely has the air conditioning break down and leaks all the time. We pay out the nose in taxes for school bonds to make sure our schools have a huge flow of money, but we've been falling behind Birmingham and Bloomfield Hills lately even though we all do the bond thing to pay for public schools that equate to private schools. That's because they've downsized. BH went to one high school. Birmingham renovated both schools and sold off a big chunk of Groves (my alma mater) to be a Michigan State satellite. The competition for young families in these burbs is fierce and school quality is #1 on the list. So that's why this is coming up. Like anywhere in the Midwest there are some poorer and some richer neighborhoods, but on the whole we're talking about a pretty affluent, education-obsessed suburban community that built for the baby boom and has been a bit oversized ever since that ended. There's a social component, since over time the schools have tended to become somewhat racially and economically segregated. When we do inevitably downsize to three schools, I imagine it will be a good opportunity to undo that. [Title] | I'm not advocating.

9dd7cfa8_Seth___mgoblog__Title | [Date] 2 weeks 2 days ago [Body] Toilet Paper Getting on TV was still a relatively new experience, and affecting what so many people were watching was kind of a thrilling thing. You'd see the rolls of toilet paper flying down after the first touchdown of the game and think to your young self "wow it would be so cool to be the guy who threw the toilet paper roll." It really did look festive, like instant confetti or ticker tape. Anyway they stopped when I was 8 or 9 so I never got to throw a roll of TP. Marshmallows I was definitely around for this tradition. It was 99% college students being inebriated (sneaking alcohol or a joint into the stadium was pretty easy pre-9/11) and wanting to throw something harmless. A lot of the mallows went at other students--friends sitting a few rows down and a section over, or a group of girls you walked in with. But there was a mini-game of trying to disrupt the TV crews and the opposing band with them. You tried to aim it so your mallow would pass as close to in front of the camera as possible to screw up their shot, or once they started to bring clear plastic shields, you tried to thunk it off the shield or lob it over. Also by the late '90s the TV crews had these big sound-catching clear plastic radar/dome things, which were as tempting as an opponent's sousaphone. I don't recall there being any real point to the marshmallows. Just a bit of goofy gameday atmosphere.

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.

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). | [] | Gulogulo37 | mgoblog | Body | http://mgoblog.com/users/gulogulo37?quicktabs_2=0 | 49/1438042985647.51_20150728002305-00060-ip-10-236-191-2_162907106_0.json |

I have absolutely no idea who the second two are, but Ringenberg was my professor for ENGIN 101 and also taught other sections of 280 when I had it. (He may have even co-taught it; don't honestly remember) Ringenberg is a good professor who was generally very helpful when you needed it and also does a nice job with his lecture content, but his voice is a little monotone, so if you tend to get bored in lectures, beware of that. Other than that though, I would recommend him without any hesitation if you can swing scheduling his section. Projects, however, tend to be mostly the same except when they blow them up every one in a while, perhaps due to too much cheating. They are pretty managable though as long as you don't totally blow them off (especially the Sorry project, they give you enough time to not have to do it on Spring Break if you don't want to, but you better have done some of it before then if you want that to happen, as that is the most time consuming of the 5 or 6 there are, or at least where when I took it 4 years ago) Too bad for you Noble isn't teaching it next semester. Noble is one of the very best, and I am extremely happy I was able to take the class with him. | [] | Mr. Robot | mgoblog | Body | http://mgoblog.com/users/mr-robot?page=0%2C0%2C0%2C0%2C0%2C1&quicktabs_2=2 | 49/1438042986615.83_20150728002306-00046-ip-10-236-191-2_159821757_0.json |
4fc18649_Mr__Robot___mgoblog__Body | [Date] 46 weeks 5 days ago [Title] My $0.02 [Body] | I was okay with the decision to go for it, but I was a,azed at the play call. The clock stops for a change of posession anyway, so if you're going to go for it, you really ought to do a pass play with the option to scramle for it because it offers you a better chance of getting the first down and also burns more time for the play itself in the vent you are not successful. Given that the call was a run right up the middle needing 4 yards in a system not really designed for conservative runs right up the middle, pretty much every other option that didn't involve going for it was better IMHO. | [] | Mr. Robot | mgoblog | Body | http://mgoblog.com/users/mr-robot?page=0%2C0%2C0%2C0%2C0%2C1&quicktabs_2=2 | 49/1438042986615.83_20150728002306-00046-ip-10-236-191-2_159821757_0.json |

Any chance you could reseed the 2013 ND game? I caught onto these torrent threads late and after going back and finding that one it seems the pool has dried up.

He's the kind of guy who's having trouble potting his first goal, but as soon as he gets it, it could give him the confidence edge to start putting a lot of them in. | [] | Mr. Robot | mgoblog | Body | http://mgoblog.com/users/mr-robot?page=0%2C0%2C0%2C0%2C0%2C1&quicktabs_2=2 | 49/1438042986615.83_20150728002306-00046-ip-10-236-191-2_159821757_0.json |

[Body] | I doubt Kentucky makes it against any of the other 1 seeds, and doubt Tennessee makes it past Duke if they don't get trolled by Mercer. | [] | Mr. Robot | mgoblog | Body | http://mgoblog.com/users/mr-robot?page=0%2C0%2C0%2C0%2C0%2C1&quicktabs_2=2 | 49/1438042986615.83_20150728002306-00046-ip-10-236-191-2_159821757_0.json |
4fc18649_Mr__Robot___mgoblog__Body | [Date] 1 year 18 weeks ago [Title] Good News if We Make It [Body] | Yale was the last team in last year and won the national championship. If we had beaten ND in the CCHA Final, last year's champion wouldn't have even meade the tournament. Losing to PSU definitely makes me not feel good about our chances, but then slamming Minnesota does again. We're wildely inconsistent this year, but the nice thing about the tournament is you don't need to be consistent, you just have to be on the upside at the right time. That's how we managed to win it all in 1996 and 1998 but NOT win in 1997. | [] | Mr. Robot | mgoblog | Body | http://mgoblog.com/users/mr-robot?page=0%2C0%2C0%2C0%2C0%2C1&quicktabs_2=2 | 49/1438042986615.83_20150728002306-00046-ip-10-236-191-2_159821757_0.json |
