A SUMMARY OF BIG TEN MEDIA DAYS
by Spencer Hall on Jul 28, 2011 3:50 PM EDT
Email
PrintHey, we wrote about Butch Davis, too. YAY PRODUCTIVITY. Onward:
We've been watching Big Ten Media Day and feel like there are some key differences between Big Ten Media Day and other conference media smorgasbords. It is true: not one reporter will say "we" when referring to a team, and the goings-on happen without subpoenas flying, coaches sniping at each other, or any of the manufactured drama you might see at certain other conferences' overblown media confabs. We speak of course of the C-USA Media Days. Get your shit together, guys.
It's tidy, as well: 15 minute sessions of relatively event-free questioning, and done in a day including presentations by Sam the Eagle and various conference types. You can watch the whole thing without losing your sanity, and even review it in a series of easy bullets.
[NAME REDACTED] Did not watch on principle. He did cite that he is third in the conference in tenure, and this fact alone should make you weep for the future of the Big Ten and humanity itself. He probably also said something about excitement, and acted twice as [REDACTED]-y to make up for the loss of fellow DERP pilgrim Tim Brewster at the proceedings this year.
GRADE: F by default
BRET BIELEMA.You have to admire Bret Bielema for many reasons. He withstood the pressure of becoming the successor to Barry Alvarez and improved on his master's work, taking Wisconsin to the Rose Bowl in 2010 and maintaining the high standards of his predecessor while seeking to modernize Wisconsin's facilities and training methods. He also made it to Big Ten Media days after drinking in the sun for three days straight on a barge with Polish boatmen, a feat whose difficulty cannot be gauged.
Grade: A+
DANNY HOPE. Looked like a cop, but he always does. Said "we have two good quarterbacks" with a straight face, which is some next level coaching business right there. Talked a lot about his amazing kicker, and though Purdue does have an outstanding field goal kicker, this is the most Purdue thing to talk about at your presser ever.
GRADE: [FILE NOT FOUND]
LUKE FICKELL. We're so sorry.
It's no one's fault when that happens if they're standing within ten feet of Tom Dienhart. [/fans self] Fickell was fine. Vague, and a little hopped up, but fine.
Grade: B
KEVIN WILSON: Did not break down into open weeping while discussing his job coaching Indiana football. Has not regrown mustache, however, and loses points no matter how brave he appeared in the face of an impending season in Bloomington. (Further bonus; no open mentions of suicide.)
Grade: A-
JOE PATERNO: Appeared to be completely aware of his surroundings, cited his close personal friend Socrates in discussing the youth of today, yelled as politely as one can to reporters to speak up, happily admitted ignorance on the new taunting rules, and whaddya'd away talk of collegiate scandal with an unimpressed "eh, there's always been that" attitude befitting someone who once coached in the same state with Jackie Sherrill and survived. Did not die on podium, and don't act like you weren't relieved this didn't happen. He's very old, and it's a concern, especially if you want him to go out like a Viking on the field after a victory like we do.
Grade: A+
PAT FITZGERALD: Evinced zero pity for coaches who break the rules in a thinly veiled Tressel question. Points awarded! Still wears atrocious 1994 Executive helmet hair. Points deducted.
Grade: B
BRADY HOKE: The best summary of a Brady Hoke speaking engagement is to imagine Lloyd Carr using a gigantic Matt Foley puppet to address the media. The similarity in cadence is eerie, right down to repeated citations of "We're Michigan" as a justification for just about any statement Hoke wanted to make. ("I should have a large pizza up here hot and fresh right now. Why? Because we're Michigan, that's why.") It's now all too clear why Dave Brandon hired him: because they thought he was a fat cousin of Lloyd Carr, or at least come Lama-ish future incarnation of his still-living spirit raised in the deep obese South or something.
He was fine, but seriously, this cast of coaches is the exact opposite from the polished evangelists of the SEC. Hoke looked like he'd smeared his hair flat with some half-and-half he'd gotten from the media's coffee bar.
Grade: B+
BTW, Michgian AD Dave Brandon is awesome at tweeting:
Right! Thanks!
BO PELINI. You might have said "Taylor Martinez is outstanding at quarterback, and has really grown into a leadership role," but we saw your face saying "i hate Taylor Martinez and want to throw him in a pit of hungry pigs," Bo Pelini. Still, you probably can't help it. Bo Pelini saying "I hope you die and I want to help you do so" is really his way of saying "I love you." Confusingly, this is also his way of saying "I'd like to order some Chicken Chow Mein, please." Bo Pelini has a fraught and emotional relationship with his players, and with the Chinese restaurants of Lincoln, Nebraska.
Grade: A for hiding killing rage effectively.
KIRK FERENTZ. "I'd like to answer that, but I've been on vacation for three weeks." That, and 14 minutes and 47 seconds of white noise.
Grade: F for content, A for "Ferentzness"
JERRY KILL. "I believe you have to run the ball. I believe that in my heart." Oh, you'll wet the panties of the natives talking like that, Jerry Kill. That's the only way you'll do it besides coaching awesome football, too, because you really do look like a sunburnt Gopher with alopecia. (But are awesome.)
Grade: A PLUS PERFORMANCE OF THE DAY.
MARK DANTONIO. Said Jim Tressel, his mentor, was "a tragic hero, but a lot of tragic heroes triumph in the end." Just like that part at the end of Hamlet when he gets up, spits out the poison, goes "I looooooooooove Kool-Aid!," and stabs Voldemort before killing Scar and becoming the leader of all the Goonies on Jurassic Island? Yes. Exactly like that.
Grade: C

I haven't eaten at the original but the other places are sorta gross.
I mean, when you’re eating it, it looks fine, tastes fine, it’s all good. But let the shit sit out for a half hour and it starts looking waxy and terrible, and a half hour later it turns into a solid nauseating brick in your stomach.
Buddy’s is the best pizza place in Michigan, AND they manage to keep the quality up at all the locations. The pizza is awesome and the salads are great too. I like Sheild’s, too, but it’s not at Buddy’s level.
Have sadly never had Shield's
Heard amazing things. And yes, Cottage Inn anywhere but the original brick building with brick ovens on Main Street in Ann Arbor is disgusting. I’ve said no to Cottage Inn from the shitty to go place on Grand River in East Lansing while trashed and stumbling home from a football game before. You HAVE to go to the original to get the real CI experience.
Buddy’s is truly amazing. No one can deny this. I do submit Pasquale’s at Woodward and 14 for your review, however. Their pepperoni is to die for.

Dantonio says a lot of weird things
That’s definitely up there for him, though. Usually his speech is absolutely riddled with “so, there’s that,” and “well, we need to take care of that,” and other needless filters, including repeating himself exactly two and a half times in the same sentence.
That aside, I would follow the man off a cliff if he demanded me to.

As an Auburn/Ole Miss fan, it doesn’t have much to offer me from a “wow, it’s gonna be fun to play as my own teams” standpoint. I got it because the PS3 is the first video game system I’ve had since my sister’s PS1 a long time ago and I’ve always wanted to learn to play NCAA so I wanted to start with the latest version.

The Patent Bar has a very low pass rate, but even worse, there’s no set time to take it like the regular bar or LSAT or whatever. I planned to take it just to have it in my back pocket but knowing I didn’t need to take it I just kept putting it off. I think if I’d known it was given in, say, July, and signed up, I would have maybe made myself study. But I couldn’t self-motivate for it.

Bradley-Terry rankings for college football and basketball: because there aren't enough computer rankings already.
I am not.
I definitely considered it, and in fact, it was my plan entering law school – my contact with a patent lawyer while doing undergrad research and obtaining my own patent was part of my motivation. But then I went to law school and found out that a) doing the actual patent work is boring to me, b) I really enjoy litigation, and c) it would be difficult to be a patent attorney in Alabama. I also started clerking for one of the top civil defense litigation firms in the state during my 1L summer, loved it, and knew this is where I wanted to work. I do expect my career will include alot of “sciency” sort of litigation – i.e., I can understand what engineering and chemistry experts are talking about, I can understand technical language and it’s easier for me to bone up on things like that than, say, an English major.

Plus, any lawyer can LITIGATE a patent case.
But you need the patent bar to submit docs to the patent office and actually acquire the patent (patent prosecution).

I'm playing a game that's sorta like that right now.
My QB is 13-34, mostly because I’ve had 15 passes knocked down by leaping LBs. I’ve also missed 2 FGs and fumbled a kickoff. Still tied at 20 to start the 4th because I’m trying to stay patient and run and it’s working.
They started their backup QB...
who lit up my defense. He gets hurt, so the 3rd stringer is in, and continues to light up the defense. Had an interception get nullified for the always sketchy PI call. Next play was a TD. Got a couple of lucky defensive stops on my only tackle from Kerrigan in the game and an interception (that wasn’t called back) to set up the winning TD with :20 left and get the first lead of the game.

It landed in a rock bed, probably 30 feet away. No one was seriously hurt. XBox was barely blemished. Went home, plugged it in – DING! Still worked. Couldn’t believe it.

The game made you work for it.
I just had a completely bogus replay go in my favor. Pretty sure my receiver was out of bounds but they reversed the call and gave me the TD. Fine by me.
Major props
I once lost a similar game because I was attempting a 50+ yd field goal and right when I snapped the ball the game froze for just a split second. This threw off my timing, so I didn’t kick the ball with nearly enough force and the ball fell short by a good five yards.

Nothing more annoying than your typical NCAA online ranked match
I remember one year (think it was 08), some jackhole playing as USC ran the same FB dive every single down for five yards a pop, regardless of the defensive keys/formation/whatever I tried. I was able to match him score for score on offense, but somehow this guy was able to run out all five minutes of the fourth quarter before kicking a bullshit 20 yard field goal to seal it.
I have never been more frustrated, but I like to think I’ve learned patience since then.

I'll throw this in the nerd subthread.
I bought Fallout 3 for my new Playstation 3, but it isn’t the GOTY edition, it’s a used regular version. Which of the addons are worth getting? I’m assuming the Brotherhood of Steel at least, since that seems to be the biggest (and raises the level cap) but which of the others are best? I don’t want to buy more than 3, since that would make my used copy more expensive than the GOTY edition…

IMO, the 10 extra levels have not been worth it so far. Dogmeat gets ridiculously bugged and is currently invincible for me.
That aside, get all of them (if you can) except for Mothership Zeta. I’ve played through Operation: Anchorage and The Pitt, and I’m currently working on Point Lookout. All have been a lot of fun. Anchorage gets a little weird, but still enjoyable.

I have days where I feel like he deserves a chance.
And there are days that I salivate looking at other guys I’d rather have as a coach that are available right now. I feel like he was a direct descendant of the “good ol’ boy” system, since he was Tiller’s understudy, and he didn’t have a stellar record at EKU. This year, whether everyone likes it or not, is a make or break year. The whole injury thing isn’t an excuse, and if he can’t get us to a bowl game (when all you have to do is win 2-3 conference games to get there), he needs to be replaced with someone that can. I’m not demanding Rose Bowls out of him like a lot of people are, but I’d like to see us at least be competitive. And in 2009 there were definite glimpses of that.
/tl;dr: 6 wins or fire Hope
Will work for football.
The old man...
…always said that the problem wasn’t the coaching, really: it was that Purdue was forever stuck in the shadow of ND in football, and the Hoosiers in basketball and therefore wouldn’t get great talent— and I think he may of been on to something. He believed that Mollenkopf would’ve won national championships at another school.
Of course, he was a little biased. I personally pull for the Boilermakers as long as they’re not playing UGA… if my father had been alive, I think the bowl match-ups might’ve killed him.

My thoughts as a Purdue fan?
On Danny Hope?
Hopelessness in W.Lafayette was reiterated at the B1G Media Day when he stated the Boilers will go with a 2-QB rotation. Does this guy EVER have a clue.
It’s the same as when he called the timeout against Notre Dame, with Purdue leading and the Irish with no timeouts and facing 4th and goal with 20 seconds remaining. What happens next? Why, of course – Jimmy Clausen goes to the sideline to set up a final play for the Irish, while the offense collects its breath and thoughts, getting time to decide what play will work best for a game-winning TD. (You know, instead of forcing little Jimmy Clausen to make a rushed decision on his own, facing 4th and goal with time running out.)
Which is exactly what happened after the biggest bone-headed timeout call in the history of timeout calls ( Chris Webber’s not included as this is football-only) in B1G history.
That bit of coaching mastery right there sealed my opinion on this MAC-level coach.
And I apologize to the MAC coaches I’ve insulted with that statement.

I have one, but it requires a good bit of belief-
Close your eyes, lay back, and breathe in through your nose. While doing this, picture the nice air coming in your nose as clean, washing away all the dirt and pain in your head. Then, exhale the dirty air out your mouth. Take a little pause, then repeat, until all the pain done been breathed out.

Some day
I will be in a position in which I can decide for myself which meetings I have to go to.
Until then, I drink.
That 17-year-old Hokie sitting in the Greensboro Coliseum rafters in 1997 didn't see any of this coming.
The unfortuntely corrolary to this . . .
. . . is that when you reach the position where you can decide what meetings you must attend, it is because you are being asked to attend about 16 hours worth of meetings each day. And, in my line of work, way too many of them involve a flight to get there.

Sinus? Stress? Migraine?
Where is the pain? I get all kinds of headaches, and I can usually tell what caused each kind. The one I currently have is stress related. The one I had for 2 days last week was sinus. I treat each differently. If you don’t have allergies or sinus problems, sounds like stress. A cold compress on your forehead works sometimes. A lot of times it’s just a will thing…kind of like what MikeLew said. If you believe it will work, it usually will…for this kind of headache at least. My father in law puts a throw pillow on his head. Says it relieves pressure. He believes it works, so it does. My old sous chef used to put a piece of masking tape across his forehead. He believed this would help his headaches, and it did. A cocktail can relax you enough to relieve tension that can exacerbate headaches. So can caffeine. 2 birds method – Irish coffee.

This one is in my forehead mostly
Migraines for me generally are a throbbing behind my left eye, accompanied by nausea. I definitely don’t have that. I don’t really think I’m all that stressed. Tried some advil, a hot shower, a beer, and food. Usually one of those does it for me, but not today. I’ve had it since a little after I woke up this morning.

Today's public service announcement
Please make sure your family, kids, elderly parents, etc. know how to call 911.
A friend of mine had a stroke on Saturday at his elderly mom’s house. She has advanced Parkinson’s and doesn’t speak very well. Instead of calling 911, she called her brother, who doesn’t speak English, so he couldn’t call 911 either. The uncle called my friend’s dad, who drove to the house and then drove my friend to the hospital.
All in all, it was 90 minutes from the time he had the stroke before he made it to the ER.
He was on life support all week before they pulled the plug today and he passed away.
41 years old.
Please take care of your bodies, and teach your kids what to do in an emergency.

The collision included a $400,000 Bentley Azure, a $120,000 Mercedes S-Class, a $230,000 Ferrari F430, an Aston Martin Rapide worth $230,000 and a Porsche 911 valued at $130,000, according to Sky News. The incident in the wealthy southern France city state began when the Bentley scraped the side of the Mercedes, then plowed into the Ferrari. The Bentley then careened into the Aston Martin and the Porsche.

It depends on how you define "high maintenance"
I like what many people would call “high maintenance”, but to me that type of girl is “low maintenance” in the ways I like. I’m simply lucky in that IE is “low maintenance” in just about every sense of the word, in that she’s low stress, but also likes nice shiny things and to dress up girly in the way that I like. Win-win.

I define high maintenance as
1) asks for expensive items at every turn (no chocolate truffle with gold foil for you!)
2) wants you to fight for their affection
3) gets wasted at bars at every moment
by Lights, Camera, MACtion on Jul 29, 2011 2:15 AM EDT up reply actions 1 recs
I would agree with #1 and #2. Not sure that #3 has any connection.
But a lot of people see a girl who dresses in dresses or skirts, high heels, and wears makeup and think ‘ugh, high maintenance", because they think they need #1 or #2 to keep her happy. Meanwhile, I look at a girl who wears nothing but yoga pants and sweatshirts 4 sizes too big and thing “ugh, high maintenance”, because it would take a lot of work for me to convince her to dress in a manner I thought attractive. It’s all about finding something that matches your own perspectives—anything that doesn’t match and that you’d have to “work on” is “high maintenance”.

I managed to avoid having people borrow my notes (other than my friends and dorm neighbors) by using a lot of personal shorthand (not the professional court-reporter type, just abbreviations that were probably not standard), leaving out things that were explicitly spelled out in class but trivial to derive on the fly if needed, and writing tiny. One of my friends usually had about 10 pages of notes per class period in signal processing; I rarely went over 1 1/2.

I don’t do cursive except for my signature, all the “when you’re in high school you’ll have to do everything in cursive, so get used to it now” bullshit in elementary school never took. Not because it’s illegible (mine’s better than most), but printing is neater and not much slower (especially if you’re trying to write legibly in cursive).

I always want to write the following:

My answer: Z has many problems. Because it is the last letter of the alphabet, thus the lowliest letter, it can’t function like its peers. Z’s self esteem only limits it to 1.

Z offers only the constraint of an ethnic bias conceived in the postcolonial world of mathematics.

The concept of leadership in the Japanese Army from the 1800’s to the present, and how it presents issues/creates context for the current GSDF

Crisp is always good.
I do like the commentary on Turnbull, which is why I suggested narrative development. From what you have you can easily turn this around to go against the Turnbull style and proceed with Nagashino. I see a very convincing argument as to why scholars need to refocus their view of this battle instead of focusing on the popular warrior-monk history. Likewise, I think your movement into the filing in the gaps provides a great starting point for the next sections.
In general, the main problem with this revolves around how dry it starts out. Your writing becomes a lot more involved after section three. This is common to most drafts of academic writing as you begin to find your voice. I’d suggest some revision to the first two sections as they need to have the same level of involvement (rhetorical involvement and explanation) that the later sections bring.
The clarity is definately there, which is what I always tell my students to bring, and the organization is superb. As stated in the first paragraph, I’d think you’ve developed a great argument in the middle sections and provide some justification for the later additions you are going to bring to this battle.

I plan to relook it after I finish the course I’m in right now (5 Aug) and will keep that on file for that. I’ll revisit and hit you up for more comments then.
And yes, more MDMP is in the works. I plan to do full MDMP’s for both sides in the battle as if I were the entire “staff” for each side, as best I can, and see what it tells me. That will be the body of the book, and was really what I wanted to get to. However, as you can see, the sources are so f—-‘d that I couldn’t even establish a baseline “this is what really happen” yet. So I’ll have to kind of do it by induction and source-comparison, with substantial assumptions made and cataloged.

My personal favorite (although it may require some explanation for non-EEs)
(Explanation for non-EEs: think of a multiplexer as the electronic equivalent of a railroad track switch – depending on the value of the N “select” signals, one of 2^N different input signals gets passed to the output.)
The question involved drawing a circuit corresponding to a particular Boolean function. Somewhere in the circuit, one student drew a multiplexer that had “x” as the select signal, “0” as the “output-if-select-is-0” signal, and “1” as the “output-if-select-is-1” signal. This can rather trivially be simplified.

So here's my question about that
I think part of what makes writers great is that they have a “voice,” their own style of writing and particular phrasing. Because I grew up in a very rural area, my natural speaking style, the one I use when I talk with my parents, is very country. Education has allowed me to hide that when I’m not at home, but when I write, it’s the most dry, clinical thing you’ve ever read. I really want to be a better writer, but I feel like I can’t do it unless I find some kind of voice that allows me to write with style.
My real question is, how do I learn to write like fearless leader?

It certainly puts my handwriting to shame (though both my print and cursive improved after taking that required technical drawing class in eighth grade).

Sheee-yit, I remember those...
they were STILL up in my middle school just over a decade ago.

I can see both sides of it...
I like to work things out longhand, and I think it encourages mental fluidity, but I’m not sure being neat about it has any real effect. As long as I can read it, it is good enough that I can rewrite it so that others can read it.

personally, while I strive for neat and easily read handwriting (/glares at KG)
I don’t personally think that’s the point of it all. Much like “classic” toys are making a comeback because what they teach in terms of problem solving, eye-hand coordination, gross and fine motor skills are superior to any modern plastic gee-whiz toy-ma-bob.

Sweet merciful crap.
I don’t think I ever hit more than 250 or so, and that was mainly when I was at Illinois football games and getting and sending text updates back and forth regarding the MSU game four times a month.
I've got this terrible pain in all the diodes down my left-hand side.

My handwriting isn't great, but it is perfectly legible.

On purpose?
For fun?
Was it sheetrock or CMU or concrete OR GLASS?
Did you go through it?
Did you get stuck?

He seemed to have somewhat murderous intent
I was merely enjoying a beer. I certainly didn’t find it to be fun.
Sheetrock, I think, didn’t go through or get stuck
I was in shock more than anything, particularly since I know the guy that decided to propel me thusly.

Note the reference to the "Corn Belt" in the blurb.
I’m halfway convinced that we need to have Bo Pelini and Kirk Ferentz give the pregame interviews to Mean Gene Okerlund.
