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.

Went out the window in 1894

Spitballs etc. people trying to get edges for a long time. Just counteract it when it’s obvious they have your signs.

Moved all posts about the signal stealing scandal to its own thread seeing as its juicy enough to have 15+ pages of posts alone.

The "All Things Skunkbear" thread still exists.

Downplaying the allegations to defend Michigan should be an auto-ban

My favorite thread. In a few hours, I’m gonna pop open a cold one and hit the refresh button.

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.

Hmmm. Makes me wonder where I’ve heard of that tactic being used recently.

Has Harbaugh had no media availability since this story broke?

My money is on him pretending he doesn't even know who that guy is.

 

[INLaw]

Note from an actual lawyer…
FUCK MICHIGAN

 

[Lberry]

Someone go anonymous and send NCAA report Porker is stealing defensive plays. Only submit first 4 game films and USC final score as evidence.

The title of this is hilarious, solely based on this MGoBlog post from last night:
—————
Language matters.

This is *especially* true in chaotic media environments where nuanced arguments are particularly difficult to convey. So to cut through the noise, not only should we wholesale dump the phrase, “sign stealing,” we should also broadly adopt a single term that both accurately describes the activity & also removes any sigma associated with it.

Michigan wasn’t, “sign stealing.” They were, “code cracking.”

THAT’S how this activity should be referenced from now on 100% of the time: “code cracking.”

People will still hotly debate the specifics of the methodologies used, the meaning of various NCAA rules, and how it applies to Michigan’s specific case of course. But as Michigan fans, what nobody here should endorse is people casually throwing around the term, “sign stealing.” Not only does it needlessly muddy what’s already a potentially complicated case, it also unfairly prejudices Michigan in the court of public opinion before the full set of facts can even get presented.

Thank you for not naming this thread "SignGate."

Down the line an entire generation of people will think Watergate had something to do with Clear Mountain or Aquafina.

 

[LSWho?]

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 won't be satisfied with the resolution of this situation unless Brian from M Go Blog ends up in prison.

What does Doucheman Howard say when asked about this on College Gameday this Saturday?

 

[mango4]

It keeps getting better

 

[NDPhilly]

Yeah they are officially cooked

 

[Giddyup]

Nuclear war is probably going on while the peasants are excited

 

[ulukinatme]

I hope nobody posted this yet. I got a laugh.

Bingo. This falls in line with exactly how people in these positions act. Lying in plain sight, gaslighting the ever living shit out of normal sane people.

I'm telling you, I believe you're right. I would not be shocked at all if that's the route they all end up taking. Harbaugh included.
