.4x.4x.20-.30(whatever the percentage on that Poole shot was)... that's still > 1%... 1 in 100 vs 1 in 10k, the situations aren't comparable. 

4 weeks 4 days ago It’s basically 0%... 11

It’s basically 0%... 11 second to go you’d need 2 missed FTs from a 90% FT shooter(1 %) + a super quick 3 pointer (30 % being generous), another foul with at least 1 missed ft or a turn over( 10 %ish) and a super quick 2 to tie or win (maybe 40% being ultra generous)

.01 * .3 * .1 * .4 = at most 1 in 10,000 to win or tie

Red Cross just got here and their first move was kicking UPR students out of their dorms (which they had already paid for). Big surprise... *rolleyes* Many of these students live hours away and have lost everything back home.

Refs don't even have to be aware of what's going on to have an effect. Just pick refs you know/suspect to have a bias in favor of teams you want to help/against teams you want to hurt.

if you start at the 25 the 15 yard line is the line to make, bringing out the chains would be less precise than using the line that's already on the field.

This conference is set up to have Ohio State win the whole thing as often as possible, going as far down as the officiating. 

Yesterday's game reminds me of the 2014 OSU vs Penn State game. That game ended in a 2OT victory for OSU too and featured inexplicably horrible calls going the way of OSU. Penn State complained and it was so bad even the head ref had a press conference but ultimately nothing happened and the officiating is as bad now as it was then.

As I've said before I'm done with college football until either the refereeing improves substantially or we leave the B1G(which, I'm not delusional, there's not even a .00000000001% chance of that).

These refs missed a lot.

Many of you are complaining about the defense but look at the replays specially at the line of scrimmage. MSU could've stayed in the game even vs Bama with these refs. What's up with B1G refs this season? They cost Wisconsin their game vs OSU and could've easily cost us this game.

They just don't call the obvious holds. We should get jerseys that rip easily to shame them into calling it.

MSU OL was holding every single play. Any team can beat any team in the B1G. Blind refs are the great equalizer.

1 year 26 weeks ago If I were a wisky fan I'd

If I were a wisky fan I'd also say my team should've won that game. OSU got away with holding virtually every single play on offense and they got called for it maybe once. That's one of my biggest fears playing OSU, it's tough to beat them at the line if the refs aren't calling the obvious holds.

The easiest classes at Michigan are no harder than the easiest classes at OSU and Bama. Let's just be honest, if Mario Manningham managed to stay elegible during his time at Michigan pretty much anyone can stay elegible. Our standards are no different from those schools, we're not Northwestern.

Going by the data, people in Ohio seem to die less often than people in Michigan per mile driven, but they're both above average states. OP was complaining about Washington(Seattle area) and those drivers also seem to be better than Michigan's at not getting killed.

The worst drivers in America seem to live in Montana while the best seem to live in Wyoming. Minnesota and Massachusetts drivers also seem to be pretty good.

1 year 42 weeks ago You are correct, most zika

You are correct, most zika infections are asymptomatic. Symptoms, when present, are several pegs below Chikungunya, dengue, yellow fever, and west nile virus.

This virus should only be a cause for concern for pregnant women and their partners, couples planning to have children within the next 15 months, and couples who aren't planning to have children but are having unprotected sex w/o any form of consistent birth control.

You can't quantify an alumnus' ties to the school in athletics fandom years because the two experiences are just not fungible. Arguing your bonds to the UNIVERSITY are stronger than the bonds of someone who actually attended the school is bordering on the insane. Perhaps to the athletic department, but certainly not to the University as a whole.

All the facts will NEVER be in and this is not the standard we have used to criticize other schools. 

Jeez... Michigan fandom turns some of you into flaming hypocrites.

2 years 13 weeks ago This, exactly this.

This, exactly this.

2 years 13 weeks ago You can't... most people know

You can't... most people know this, but they're just slow playing it and hoping some miracle happens between now and signing day that makes the impending oversigning excusable. Brian and most of the fan base will just shrug and say "playing time transfers" as if that's not exactly the same thing Alabama does(and what this fanbase criticized Alabama for doing every single year.) 

It wouldn't bug me as much as it does if these people would just admit that the faux outrage in the past didn't really have anything to do with the kids and everything to do with Michigan not doing it too. Kinda like what Brian asks SEC and ACC fans to do regarding satellite camps. 

2 years 13 weeks ago slow approach and learn some

slow approach and learn some facts = let's not talk about it and hopefully it'll blow over

2 years 13 weeks ago "and not hold onto guys that

"and not hold onto guys that they don't think will perform (e.g., Derrick Green)"

 

Speak for yourself, if Derrick Green wanted to stay I would absolutely want the coaching staff to hold on to him. A promise is a promise and if my alma mater promised a kid 4 years of education, I want them to keep it. 

2 years 13 weeks ago The risk should all fall on

The risk should all fall on the schools because the potential damage from a decommit isn't in the same ballpark as the damage from a yanked scholarship late in the process.

Have Indiana and Alabama players come out saying they're being forced to transfer?

How are those transfers any different?

2 years 14 weeks ago I'm sorry, but the whole

I'm sorry, but the whole "playing time transfer" thing is indefensible when Brian has criticized Crean's Indiana and Saban's Alabama for doing exactly the same thing. Saban isn't yanking scholarships. He's telling players "you need to transfer or medical because you're not playing here anymore" and Brian has criticized him for it.

I can link an article where Brian saw a report that Alabama was taking a class of 27 and that meant 8 is players had to be jettisoned from the program if that was correct. How many will we have to jettison if we take 30 and why is Brian not complaining about it?

2 years 14 weeks ago Lol

Lol

I realize you're being sarcastic but some people make exactly this argument with a straight face.

2 years 14 weeks ago We might have wanted to bring

We might have wanted to bring in more grad transfers(talk of grad transfer WRs at the time), but Pipkins going public with the story tied the football program's hands. 

2 years 14 weeks ago I'm not going down this road.

I'm not going down this road. We can argue motives, it'll all be speculation. It is what it is. 

2 years 14 weeks ago Similar situation to Jamel

Similar situation to Jamel Dean at OSU. What do you think people said here? 

2 years 14 weeks ago Pipkins already said last

Pipkins already said last year he was being pressured into signing a medical scholarship so......

2 years 14 weeks ago That's always been the

That's always been the case. 

Again, when we talk about the oversigning controversy we're talking about what the schools do between NSD and spring to get under the 85 scholly cap. If NSD comes and you're over 85(counting incoming) then you're commiting yourself to jettisoning some players on the program. Some people argue this dynamic gets some kids pushed out the door. 

2 years 14 weeks ago Alabama, Indiana, Tenn, OSU,

Alabama, Indiana, Tenn, OSU, Arkansas under Petrino, and many other schools could have made exactly that same argument. I've said as much on some of those occasions. When I make your argument on threads about Indiana bball or OSU/Alabama football oversigning I get negged to hell...

The truth is Brian has never cared where that attrition is coming from. He's always seen it as shady no matter what, and that was the popular opinion people had in this forum less than a year ago. 

2 years 14 weeks ago See my second reply for two

See my second reply for two examples. Exactly the same situation.

Brian:

"Meanwhile, another one bites the dust at Indiana. The Hoosiers get a commitmentfrom prep post Thomas Bryant, bringing the number of Indiana players guaranteed to get run off this offseason to three. Someone please fire Tom Crean."

http://mgoblog.com/content/unverified-voracity-rides-dolphin

Brian:

"Just another Alabama offseason. Alabama fans believe they will take 27 kids in this recruiting class, which means they'll have to eject eight guys from the program. Unless it's actually eleven, ie, the different between Michigan signing the 16 or 17 they expect to this year and a near-NCAA maximum class. At least Bama fans are no longer able to deny what's happening with sleight of hand, and have to admit they don't care:"

I could go on and on and point at dozens of posts like this. I won't bother because if you don't see the double standard already, I doubt you ever will. 

2 years 14 weeks ago When we do it.. "Harbaugh

When we do it..

"Harbaugh obviously knows who is leaving"

When Urban, Crean, Saban, ect do it..

"omg, NCAA sucks, obvious oversigning, kids getting pushed out the door, bogus medical redshirt.." 

2 years 14 weeks ago What do you think the meaning

What do you think the meaning of oversigning is? No school stays above 85 after kids get to school. The controversy is about what schools do between signing day and spring practice to get under that 85 scholarship limit. 

2 years 14 weeks ago I don't necesarily have a

I don't necesarily have a problem with us doing it, although I certainly wish we didn't.

What I do have a problem with is the faux outrage that's gone on over the past few years within some elements of the fanbase. (I could point at examples but just search for "oversigning" in the site search. Those same people who were angry about the "spring creaning" in indiana, or St Saban Memorial Hospital, ect ect ect are now doing the math trying to figure out who we should encourage to transfer. It's just embarassing. 

2 years 14 weeks ago Even if we stay at 28, it's

Even if we stay at 28, it's going to be VERY DIFFICULT to not be at over 85 the day after signing day. 

What this website and this fanbase ALWAYS criticized other teams for was what they did between signing day and spring practice to get under the 85 player cap. Every transfer and every medical scholly was seen as a coach pushing kids out the door. We'll see how that narrative plays out once we start getting our own surprise transfers and medical scholarships. 

2 years 14 weeks ago Yup... I'll be waiting for

Yup...

I'll be waiting for Brian's faux outrage piece once signing day comes and we're over the 85 scholarship limit. (I know it won't come) This is precisely why I'm always slow to judge other schools when they do shady stuff. Too much egg on the face when your own team does it. 

2 years 14 weeks ago Most of the ultra

Most of the ultra successful(with women) guys I know are actually pretty average accomplishment wise.

He was under contract during the season. If using PEDs while injured is ok because you're not playing then why isn't it ok during the offseason? 

It gives you an unfair advantage over players trying to recover while sticking to the rules.

Of course they don't count officially. Teams that oversign don't wait until players count officially to start their "roster management."

Honestly I don't see how we're under 85 after NSD. People here are going to say "but the coaching staff knows who's already leaving..." which is exactly the same excuse other fanbases use when it happens to their team..

Fact of the matter is some kids are going to end up getting pushed out the door one way or another...

2 years 20 weeks ago Defining races by a single

Defining races by a single trait(skin tone) is useless and arbitrary.

The reason people with a background in science who are familiar with the topic will tell you there's no scientific basis for races within the human species is because as a species we're not genetically that diverse.. Moreover, defining a race as "black" is pretty ridiculous given the fact that people with African ancestry have more genetic diversity between them than between Africans and Eurasians.

Well, on the flip side, did you watch Ohio State's game vs Indiana? Indiana kept them scoreless at the half on their own stadium and I'm pretty sure our defense is better than Indy's injuries or no injuries.

2 years 24 weeks ago When people talk about white

When people talk about white privilege a lot of times they're talking about white Anglo-Saxon protestants and not white people in general. For example, there's thousands of white Hispanics living in the states who can only be identified as part of a minority because they don't have the right name/accent. "Whiteness" is a constantly evolving criteria. That's why I agree that the term is a bit iffy.

2 years 24 weeks ago Ummm, this is a dumb

Ummm, this is a dumb comparison..If an NCAA football team loses half of its roster in one year you might as well cancel football for a couple of years... It's that bad. You lose half your roster and then you get a massive APR hit that prevents you from recovering within the 4-5 years it would take you.

The truth is... and this might be a tough pill to swallow for a lot of people... that we really can't compete with those programs anymore. At least not on a yearly basis. Hard to achieve recruiting parity when your home state has less than half the talent of Florida, Ohio, Texas, Alabama, Louisiana, ect. There's going to be years when things line up and we're able to be competitive vs those schools, but expecting to go .500 vs them (recruiting and on the field) is honestly unreasonable. :(

For being such a math-centric sport, I don't understand how MLB owners/managers prioritize their payroll. It seems like they always pay players based on what they've done instead of what they'll potentially do. Every time one of those huge contracts comes around, everyone knows the player's not worth it.... except for the GMs.

2 years 49 weeks ago (No subject)

2 years 49 weeks ago Yeah, pick the one or two

Yeah, pick the one or two sports that are not supported by universities and focus your argument on those exceptions. 80% of American medal winners in the London olympics were NCAA athletes. A big portion of the money that went into train those athletes came from the universities they attended. If you take that away the government isn't going to step in to fill the gap and a lot of those athletes won't be able to afford coaching+going to college+feeding themselves+tutoring because they won't have any scholarships or special concessions at school because of their status as student athletes.

I mean... if you don't care about USA's performance in the olympics that fine, it's a fair viewpoint to have; but to pretend that eliminating olympic sports from a lot of athletic departments won't heavily impact the athletes that will be left without a scholarship? Jeez...

BTW, I wouldn't brag about figure skating if I were you, that's not a sport USA dominates. The Russians are much better, both historically and currently. Maybe colleges not supporting it has something to do with it. 

2 years 50 weeks ago Well, it's fairly simple.

Well, it's fairly simple. Take away the millions that the universities invest in these athletes, don't replace it with anything, see how it goes. I mean... where do you expect that lost money to come from? Congress? You can't compare our model to China's or Russia's because they fund their athletes directly from a very early age. Here that will never happen. 

2 years 50 weeks ago Because it wouldn't be

Because it wouldn't be basketball and football that would get cut. The first sports to go would be the men's olympic sports because they don't bring in money, and then the women's olympic sports because if you don't have the men's teams then you don't need the women's teams to balance it out. 

2 years 50 weeks ago Academically, comparing

Academically, comparing Rutgers and Maryland with Kansas and Mizzou is like comparing U of M with Western or State. They'd both be at the bottom of the conference with Nebraska by a comfortable margin. 

Also, I'm pretty sure Maryland is closer to Michigan than Nebraska and Kansas, but don't quote me on that one.
