"Fudge is kind of a soft food so it would certainly be easy to put something in it if you wanted to," she said.
I'm not WD. I also genuinely don't understand the animosity towards him. Seems like someone who adds a lot to the Board and loves Michigan.
In any event, I already dealt with this in one of the earliest posts. Strange. Anyway, not him.
if you're not WD just pretend you are. Everyone already thinks you're him.
who knows, might be fun
Good point. I can't believe I'm getting downvoted for saying I'm not him. Sheesh.
Anyway, I gave you guys the fudge story this morning. I would think that would keep most of you savages off my back while you process it.
I heard that if we burn you at the stake and you don't come back to life, it PROVES you aren't him...alternatively, we can submerge you underwater for a long time, and IF you don't come back up, your cool! Just providing options
it means he's made of wood. And therefore, QED, he is WD.
We know that WD floats. What else floats...besides very small rocks...?
Alternatively, the people downvoting him could just get a life.
Look, the fudge story was just to be funny. And it worked. I mean, people thought it was to be funny.
And if I craved points, so what? What if that what I was seeking? People game-ify things all the time.
Anyway, good-bye cruel world. I read this stuff about Michigan on my own. It takes time to sit there and post. This isn't worth my time. You guys jump all over people who are posting things about Michigan. You guys really stressed out Wolverine Devottee -- and from what I can tell for no real reason. It's not just weird, it's mean at some level.
I"m sure the repressed sports memory is the best we could post today on a Michigan blog or say how about if you had a few months to live?
All far more worthy of a Michigan Board than say: here are articles on Michigan.
are one strange dude
ska4punkkid: Do you want to express with reasons why you are so upset at me? In the past, you have posted things such as "What is your favorite Dew" referring to the drink? My posts have all been related to Michigan or college sports and, by and large, received a lot of comments as I assume people are interested. The lamest was that one of the Michigan professor going off the grid, but surely on a slow night that is better than "I'm drunk thread" or "POSbang."
So this morning all I did was put all the links in one place. Can you articulate with words and reason why you are acting like this?
How do you have such a vast knowledge, and understanding of Ska posting history? I mean you freaking nailed it.
Also the worst way to convince everyone you arent WD is to constantly defend WD in your posts.
That being said. WD, when will you preview the fall lineup of MDen Nike Products?
through different devices? Or do you log in and out to upvote yourself and comment?
Also, when can we expect your Arbys Michigan collectors cup preview post? Mid August?

I took fudge on the plane 2 weeks ago. Just took it out of the bag so that the security could run it through the x-ray. No issue.

No seriously. If your ratings system is projecting 7 wins for Michigan this year, you need to throw that system in the trash and start fresh.
7 wins does seems really low. What's the Vegas line?
the Harbaugh coefficient. He's not linear.
very different from the normal sci-fi stuff.
I have ever seen.
When you lose that much from the previous season, it's clearly going to be replaced by something, but how good that something is going to be is anyone's guess. They don't have advanced metrics for guys that haven't played yet.
Exactly. We can think we'll be good and analyze the presumed athleticism of the new starters all we want. But the truth is we have no idea how this team will look and we won't until 3:30pm on Sept. 2. And these algorithms have no idea either because they have nothing to measure these guys.
The team was cruising for 9 games last year with a boatload of senior talent, and then they fell apart completely. We won't know if this year's team is really good until the last two games of the year. If they're not so good, we will probably know before then.
Possibly true, but at least in that 1st game we'll know for sure what our 2-deep is and have actual game film for some of these guys instead of hudl film, practice tape & our own visions of grandeur.
and then lost 3 out of their last 4, and had to struggle at home against a weak team to win the one that we did. We got worse at the end of the season, not better. Injuries are not an excuse. Everyone has injuries at that point of the season, everyone has a lot of players who are banged up. The best teams win in spite of that, and the teams a notch down fold. "Bad luck" is not an excuse either. You said it yourself...we did not make the plays we needed to. Nothing was preventing us from tackling Samuel for a 5 yard loss or holding Florida State to a normal kickoff return, other than the fact that we didn't have the athletes to make those plays.
We either fell apart, or we were never that good to begin with. Take your pick. The final games of the season are always going to be the toughest ones for us. What about it? Pretty soon, Harbaugh is going to have to start winning them, regardless of home/road, injuries, bad luck, bad calls or coulda-shoulda-woulda. That's what an elite coach does.
Dear AA,
You are underprivileged in the brain department. You might want to switch to a different provider.
Take his post in the context of Sparty trollspeak. Thats what he is and hes spouting the RCMB company line.
It will look like a well disciplined, well conditioned, well coached team that has been led by Harbaugh and staff for their third straight year.
Sure they lost a ton of talent, but most of these guys have had the advantage of a third straight year of development under one of the best, as opposed to the guys who graduated who had half of their developmental years somewhat wasted.
The problem is that everything you said is speculation. There is little actual data on the players involved to know any of this for sure. That's the point. So data-based metrics such as this can't really do anything with a lot of our guys. Especially since for a number of the positions, the starters aren't even known yet.
not unless you consider discussion of every future event speculative. What's more likely, Urban Meyer quits before the season ends or Harbaugh puts out a team that's not disciplined and well coached? Speculative is projecting the things he talked about into individual development and win-loss records. That's still true with a data driven model.
What's more speculative, basing projections on the stats of returnng players or on the track record of the coaches? They're both important, as are the projections for players who haven't contributed yet. The last part is more speculative than the first two, but there is a good correlation between recruiting profiles and production.
If your data model only considers one of those factors, it's value is very limited.
as a college coach? Is there anything concrete in his coaching history that makes it more likely than not that he will get 10-11 wins with a very young, very inexperienced team?
