2 weeks 4 days ago	This should be interesting
5 weeks 4 days ago	Zach Gentry	There's an interesting article that suggests Gentry might be re-thinking his commitment to Texas: http://www.abqjournal.com/529755/sports/unhooked-horn-michigans-harbaugh...
17 weeks 3 days ago	The Insider	Got a lot of critical praise but seems underrated by the general public
21 weeks 2 days ago	Good luck to Barwis	Unfortunately, he probably will need it with this guy as his boss.
24 weeks 6 days ago	Celiac testing	Ace, first of all glad to hear you are feeling better and appreciate you are using this forum to increase awareness.   I just wanted to respond to one point in your post that I thought was not completely accurate.  You had mentioned that celiac testing is notoriously inaccurate but this is not completely true.  Blood testing for celiac disease is 90-95% sensitive and specific which makes it a very good screening test.  Ultimately, small bowel biopsies are confirmatory in the correct clinical context. You are correct in noting that blood testing will not detect those people with gluten intolerance which is a topic that deserves further research and study. Anyway, thanks again for your contributions to the blog and bringing attention to this topic.
25 weeks 7 hours ago	There's no way	they would have won a national championship this year even with Braxton.  Their offensive line was atrocious and their secondary still looks pretty suspect.
40 weeks 19 hours ago	NBA	Of all the professional sports, NBA is the most predictable in terms of who will win.  Lebron is obviously an amazing athlete and a once a generation talent, but the NBA is unwatchable for me because of the lack of suspense.

1 year 6 weeks ago	RA Dickey Lucky?	A little OT but can I ask why you say RA Dickey was lucky to win the Cy Young Award?  Yes, Kershaw had an excellent season in 2012 and certainly a reasonable case could be made to vote for Kershaw over RA.  But RA Dickey had some amazing statistics including an xFIP 3.27, 4.26 K/BB ratio, 69% strike percentage, and a really impressive 82% quality starts.
1 year 20 weeks ago	Coaching Staff	The coaching staff did not have a great night but you can't blame the coaches for 3 TOs leading to 14 points and 3 missed FG's.
1 year 21 weeks ago	Bosa	Someone should tell him to look at his own quarterback for inspiration on terrible QBs.   Probably should include Roby and the Ohio secondary as well for uninspiring play.
1 year 25 weeks ago	Jack Swarbrick	Now I understand why he doesn't want to play Michigan anymore!
1 year 31 weeks ago	Wow!

1 year 36 weeks ago	Portland	So many good restaurants in Portland for the size of the town: Fore Street Miyake Grace - really cool interior Bresca
1 year 36 weeks ago	Heady Topper	Love your user icon - are you a Vermonter?
1 year 41 weeks ago	Peppers	Probably a long shot, but hopefully they don't continue their recruiting success with Jabrill Peppers
1 year 43 weeks ago	Welcome JBB
1 year 45 weeks ago	WR	As if landing a likely 5 star WR isn't good enough, they also have legitimate interest from Artavis Scott and KJ Williams.  Obvious statement but this class is shaping up to be very special.
1 year 46 weeks ago	Syracuse perspective	To be fair, I think the vast majority of Syracuse fans have stated that it was a tough call but regardless of whether it was a block or charge, it wasn't the deciding factor in the game.  I think we realize that Michigan was the better team on Saturday.
1 year 47 weeks ago	Congrats	Congrats from a Syracuse fan.  Michigan played tremdendous tonight.  McGary was amazing as a true freshman.  Good luck on Monday night.
1 year 47 weeks ago	Syracuse	As someone who has watched a lot of Syracuse basketball this year, their regular season statistics are a little deceiving.  They had a 4 game stretch, excluding a bad Depaul team, to end the season where they were completely lost on offense and no one could make a jump shot to save their life.  They went from a potential #2 seed to a hopeful #4/5 seed. Fast forward to the BET and NCAA tournament, Cuse has been a different team.  MCW has been more focused on running the offense as opposed to taking ill advised shots. Triche and MCW have also made a concerted effort to help out with defensive rebounding which has always been a problem for Syracuse.  Perhaps akin to McGary's breakout, BMK has been a revelation defensively, on the offensive boards, and surprisingly at the FT line. I still think Michigan has too many weapons on offense.  While Syracuse's offense is looking much more composed, they still struggle to score points at times.  I think Michigan pulls out a win on Saturday.
1 year 48 weeks ago	Ohio State	Given the easiest road to the Final Four and still can't make it
1 year 48 weeks ago	YES	The Buckeyes LOSE!
1 year 48 weeks ago	Inbounds play	You would think Wichita State would have better designed inbounds play coming off a time out?
1 year 48 weeks ago	Hope the refs get reprimanded	And not allowed to ref again in the tournament
