There are differences between men and women. Yet we create title IX in the name of equality. Something needed to be done to ensure women were given an opportunity to participate in sports. What title IX should do is strive for fairness, not equality. That is, there doesn't need to be the same number of male and female athletes or varsity sports teams for women to still be treated fairly. Men shouldn't be denied the opportunity to play varsity sports simply because there isn't a comparable women's team to make varsity as well.

From what I know, men can play but they have to raise the net. |

You sure are setting the bar pretty low for women there. How dare you suggest they couldn't compete with men. Its that type of historical bias that has lead to the need for title IX in the first place. But seriously, if you don't think the teams should be co-ed then you are asking for the same thing as segregation, separate but equal. There's nothing stopping women from having varsity sports teams and they likely would continue without title IX the same way many mens teams exist even though they don't generate revenue. |

We would not survive if we could not make predictions. Every choice we make is based on our prediction of the best outcome. Gambling is one example. While pocket aces is the best hand pre flop, it doesn't mean you will win the hand, it just gives you a better shot. Did we hire an AA or 72 or something in between? Since what we say doesn't affect the outcome of the games, what's wrong with voicing our opinion about this hire? Isn't that the point of this blog, to discuss Michigan football? |

From what I saw this year, when Denard dropped back to pass he stayed in the pocket. In my opinion, he didn't run enough. He was inconsistent, but showed great touch and arm strength as a passer. He just happens to also be rediculously fast. The potential is there and I don't see why he should be anything but a qb. I guess what I'd like to hear is what his limitations are as a qb that would prevent him from becoming a pro. How do his mechanics compare to Vince Young? |

People are setting their expectations of Hoke based on his past performance. It happens to be 47-50. You might say that you need to put it in the perspective of the teams he was coach for and I'd agree. I put RR's Michigan performance into the perspective of his previous acheivements at WV and the supply of players he inherited. RR had a track record and I was confident we would become elite. I'm also setting my expectations of Hoke based on Carr (to me that's what we're going back to with this hire). Remeber the pain and agony of a few games I won't mention? Punting on the opponents 35 yard line? Getting run over by spread team after spread team? I wasn't excited with the trajectory our program was headed. While our performance was terrible the last three years I still had optimism. We could have had supperior players and a supperior system. Now my feeling goes back to where we were 5 years ago. Please explain the pure simple hypocrisy of putting context into the W-L record of a coach. If you want to be specific, what were your expectations of RR and what are your current expecations of Hoke then next few years? |

Did you watch any of the games this year? Denard throws the ball pretty damn well. If I was Denard, I would be insulted by talk of being anything other than a qb. |

I didn't discover his blog until the end of last year and the link today reminded me of how perfectly he was able to capture the Michigan zeitgeist. |

Mathlete, I'd like to see you include statistical significance testing in all of your articles. Also, you could include ranges, ie the benefit is 1.2 +/- X ppg for each sack. In this instance X would be large which means a sack is not a strong predictor of score. |

This is what I think you said: 2 affects the first team as much as the second. 3 results in a loss of cohesiveness which is detrimental based on 1. Which do you think is more important, individual talent or time spent together? |
