Skunkbear Signal Stealing Scandal

[Irish#1]

That he's good at his job but don't let me stop you from being mad at him. Fire away.

I'm not mad at him, but I don't lap up every word that comes out of his mouth.

 

[Jiggafini19Deux]

Just took a gander at MGoBlog out of curiosity...

WHEW. Might be the worst combined case of "Head in the Sand" and "Witchhunt!" that has ever existed.

I have to wonder if it would be any different regardless of the program.

I'm pretty sure we'd have a lot of "We've been doing well lately so we probably deserve this." ND is a Catholic university after all.

Nor do I, in fact I rarely hear him and unsure if his radio show is still live. But I've never had the impression "he's an idiot" by any means and his predictions have always seemed balanced to me. You seem to be another one of those dime a dozen, nothing to say fight pickers. It's cool, noted. Moving on.

 

[NDPhilly]

Everyone knows we'd be doing the same thing as them if ND was having their best year since 1993.

I want to read the manifesto.
Can we publish this

 

[Huntr]

Ain't nobody got time for 600 pages of "Michigan Football For Dummies"

I've sure got some time for CTRL + F on that thing.

 

[Jiggafini19Deux]

Honestly, one paragraph TOPS was all that was really needed.

JFC.

Checking the mgoblue board and doesn't seem like any of them are worried

I've got us on the main event at the Irsay Y for tomorrow. Might want to bring PutUp along as your corner man. You'll need him.

Wait... the Manifesto is real? I thought it was a joke. I would pay an unreasonable amount of money to make that public.

Idk, I think we all handled the Frozen Five with more grace than the scUM fools*

They're all swimming in Egypt right now.

Everyone that supports Michigan football must have complete confidence that Warde Manuel and the athletic department are doing everything they can to show support for Coach Harbaugh. We should not have to guess where the administration stands regardless of the investigation. A public statement of support for Jim Harbaugh regardless of the investigation's outcome could potentially do wonders in bolstering the relationship between Harbaugh and the school. Also, a contract should be presented as quickly as possible that not only makes Coach Harbaugh the highest paid in the Big 10 but all of college football.

It's a real shame that if things don't go their way, certain parties feel the need to sabotage a program that's having success... only because the credit will go to individuals they don't care for.

No one is arguing for a lack of accountability. What people are arguing is (1) it isn't clear that any rules infraction even occurred, (2) there's no evidence that any rules infraction benefited Michigan, and (3) there's no evidence that Harbaugh was involved in any rules infraction here (if one occurred), and plenty of character evidence that he would not get involved in any such rules infraction.

This one is the best. Because a fan didn't know the rule existed, this should be a nothing burger. lol

If Coach Harbaugh was doing something illegal or immoral then I would be inclined to agree with you but potentially violating a rule that most of us a week ago didn't know existed doesn't move the needle for me.

Basically, this whole circus boils down to a whine that our scouts are better than theirs.

You’ll probably have to plan the bout around some boy crush timeshare vacation….

Oh, and I’d keep your shirt on. Just sayin

 

[HouseofPain]

Find it weird seeing so many getting delight from this. Sign stealing happens every game in baseball. Big fucking deal.

That’s why these teams have dumbass signs and losers dressed up in purple, they know teams will try to steal signs.

Because competitive sports are based on fair play, not cheating. I question the moral compass of anyone who doesnt have a big problem with this issue. When fair play and rules go out the window, you might as well quit playing.

Not even the worst or first time an insane Michigan man comes out with a weird manifesto.

[EDITOR'S NOTE This post went up a few days ago and I took it down until now because I feared what the outcome might be from angry Michigan fans being given a boogeyman to pin that anger on. This is not a reflection on the OP, who linked all of the information he shared. John U. Bacon is also...

SIAP but this is like the fourth or fifth instance I've seen where an old post has been unearthed sort of innocently alluding to this. Just so friggin funny how sloppy and cavalier they were about this whole thing. Makes me wonder if they truly were delusional enough to think they weren't actually breaking any rules.

 

[T-Boone]

Yeah, if anything "you still have to stop it" says a lot about Sanders' (lack of) ability as an Xs and Os coach.

Exactly. It’s not like it’s going to make a massive difference on every play but it would make a massive difference on a certain percentage of plays. Or it might change a suspicion as to how a D would respond to a formation into a certainty.

 

[T-Boone]

He gets asked about a hanfdul of teams each year. Michigan, ND, OSU, and the 3 top SEC teams. As much as he's viewed as a Bama homer, there are times he says they won't be what they were in pre-season and the phone lines blow up. He does a good job of truly predicting what he thinks without outside influence. He's been right about ND everytime I've heard him.

Who did he pick out of ND V USC?

Signals would do my head in as a QB. I don’t have the cerebrals.
