If you want to start to get up to speed on conventional sports wisdom vs. thinking in terms of expected value, take a look at Moneyball (the book, not the film). |

Can't believe that no one has mentioned airbnb.com -- plenty of a2 rooms, apartments and houses listed. |

It's not going to be clear to everyone that you're attempting to parody his comments on bin Laden. |

"Anyways" is an archaic form; as such, it's not common to the English lexicon. Colloquially, one would be correct in saying that it's not an English word. Without resorting to pedantry, though, "proly" is most definitely not a word, so at the very least he was correct in spirit. |
| 2 years 4 weeks ago | If there's a group of people |
If there's a group of people that, months later, still need to be complaining about how Brian covered Hoke's hiring, then at least they're doing it in the Fort where I won't see it. Considering that the primary criticism of Brian was that he didn't get off the Rodriguez bandwagon fast enough, they seem to be pretty slow themselves to move on with their lives. |

Hang on a minute. I believe this is the post that you're referring to: http://mgoblog.com/content/brady-hoke-and-nature-information How is that post an unfair criticism of Hoke? It's not a personal attack; it's discussing his record and career. Sure, it is Brian's opinion, but it's not like he's attacking Hoke's character or personal life. This is a classic example of the dichotomy in the Michigan fan base. Brian's supporters think that it's fair to make criticisms of Brandon's process and Hoke's record; others think that criticizing the career of Michigan's eventual coach is unfair. |

Re-read his comment. That is not what he is saying. |

Michigan arrogance is the best kind of arrogance. |

"Productive" during the off-season? Good luck. |
| 2 years 5 weeks ago | Whelp, on one hand the local |
Whelp, on one hand the local media has long insinuated that Rodriguez made former players feel unwelcome. On the other hand, Rodriguez publicly invited former players back, repeatedly. Former players worked out with Barwis. Former players came to practice, met with Rodriguez, and afterward gave quotes along the lines of "I didn't know what to expect but Rodriguez and his staff are good people and they really care about the players". If you want to cast your lot with the Freep and the rest of the local media instead of LaMarr Woodley, that's your perogative. |

Be careful tossing around the word "fact," apparently it doesn't mean what you think it means. |

Van Bergen's quote at the end is unsettling. |

Yes, that was one of the points that, I thought, they effectively made in the last 15 minutes of the documentary. I assume that most of the people criticizing the Fab Five or the documentary didn't watch the documentary, or if they did, they weren't paying attention to the end as they were too upset because these kids were wearing black socks and baggy shorts and OMG LISTENING TO NWA. |

To effectively prove his point, Grant Hill would have to challenge Jalen Rose to a freestyle rap battle. NYTimes op-ed. The irony is paralyzing. |

You don't seem like a very happy person. |

Thank you for the EXPLICIT SECTION. Anything that helps people avoid making it brutally clear that they lack even primitive reading comprehension skills is very, very welcome. |

The irony of this post is suffocating. |

I didn't know it was a surprise, but I thought that I read in an email from the athletic department that it was the director of the Big Chill film, Lawrence Kasdan. |

There are times when engineers and non-engineers just shouldn't talk to each other, and those times are when emotions are high. |

One doesn't usually agree with sarcasm... |

There will always be *multiple* torrents of any Michigan football game posted. If you can't find it on bigtentorrents or tenyardtracker, then it just hasn't been posted yet. That being said, an SD torrent was already *linked to* in the second line of Brian's post today. |

There's 0% chance that anyone at BSD can comprehend what you wrote, Brian. You're going to have to use smaller words and short, declarative sentences if you want to communicate with them. |
| 2 years 29 weeks ago |
You can get twitter updates via SMS. The only downside would be that not all of Brian's tweets are announcing new posts, so there'd be a bit of noise mixed in too. |

Rather than Brandon getting involved, I'd much rather a unicorn intervene and kick Rodriguez into gear. It's obviously not that the kids on special teams are already a talent level below that of the defensive starters, it's just that they need a good talking to. |

I think it started between 2003-2005 or something. Maybe later. You're not going crazy. Well, maybe you are, but you shouldn't use this as a data point to draw that conclusion. |

In wikipedia land, that would imply that MGoBlog is significant, but not necessarily imply anything regarding the significance of its proprietor. |

Wow. That's a lot more diplomatic of a response than I would have expected. |

Glad that I'm not the only one that caught that. Pretty sure that the TREMENDOUS guarantees that he'll be playing for Michigan. |
