Eh, if Day actually turned them in and he's actually right I don't have an issue with it.

Michigan made kind of a dramatic turnaround without significantly upgrading their talent base. I think a significant sign-stealing operation makes complete sense as an explanation.

Last year the most points Michigan allowed in a game was 23 (to Ohio State). They got into a bowl game with an unfamiliar opponent and no opportunity to advance scout in the same way: and they give up 51.
This is where I'm at.

F@ck Michigan!

I haven't read all the stories but is the idea that they simply send people to games of their upcoming opponents to sit in the stands and try and figure out what the codes on those silly signs everyone holds up mean?
That might violate the Marquis de Queensbury Rules of College Football but it hardly seems a major NCAA violation. Even if it's Michigan doing it.
Yeah, I'm not particularly interested in any of this. Ryan Day yelling at old men again.

I'm actually inclined to hope Penn State beats them tomorrow, which means holding my nose for a Franklin coached team.

Really miss the days when two asshole coaches could actually tie.

With Oregon and Washington joining the party soon, Penn State is going to go from Big Ten Bronze medal to fifth.

Wait a minute, was told this was only possible under iNdEpEnDenCe
By who? Nebraska and Northwestern played in Dublin last season. Ireland puts on a game like every year now.

That's a huge dropoff for Washington to go to the playoff, lose their coach, and now they're a middling B1G team below Rutgers. I can't imagine they're going to fall that far, but I guess it depends on what Penix's replacement does and how Fisch handles the transition.

Fisch is a pretty good coach, he'll get the program running pretty quickly. He took a team that hadn't won a single game in 2 years to fighting hard against some good programs by year 2.
