Oso planning to go pro
Sounds like a lot of Scoopers root for UW in football. If so, I’m floored. I can’t stand UW in any sport, thought their was solidarity among MU fans on that.
I will stand in solidarity with you, Lenny. Bucky bad.
The heart of his defensive philosophy was two sizes too small.
I’ve said it over and over when discussing whether coaches are great or not. You win with good players. Saban is a very good coach - but he is a great recruiter. Give him Wisconsin’s talent every year and no one would be saying that he was a great coach. Like you, I think Fickell will be fine once he gets a couple full recruiting classes.
I'm not extrapolating once Oregon, UW, and USC join yet
Am I missing something when people mention Drake Maye in the top QB discussion? I see a 1st round guy but at 19th in QBR in college against mediocre opposition, I'm not sold as a top 5 guy.
The scouts like his size, arm strength,reading progressions-comparisons range from Carson Palmer to Aaron Rogers. So, you probable are missing something. I assume they have watched more game film than you.
If anyone wants to read a nice summary of the Michigan Stalions controversy, and how absolutely dumb and absolutely awesome it has become all at the same time, I highly recommend this.https://themessenger.com/sports/jim-harbaugh-connor-stalions-michigan-sign-stealing-investigation-suspension-ncaa
I saw a video somewhere from the CMU vs. MSU game where the CMU ball carrier gets pushed out of bounds right by where (allegedly) Stalions was standing on the CMU sideline and you see this dude in sunglasses and a hat start to try to run away from where the action is coming as he realizes it's coming right at him, but runs into someone on the sideline so then he suddenly just starts to pull his hat down over his face and looks down at the ground. It's hilarious.Also, while looking for that video I found this Tweet. Incredible.https://twitter.com/BuckeyeEmpire/status/1719499000166936993
I had a pretty good idea how this story would play out when only Big Ten coaches were outraged. Rest of college football knows this happens and doesn’t want that can of worms opened.If this was the SEC, the commissioner would have buried this before it saw the light of day, as would have Jim Delany were he still in charge of the Big Ten.The end of this will be a two-game suspension fought in court or a heavy fine. Then Michigan will drop all their oppo information on Big Ten schools and it’ll be a circus of them eating each other alive
Biff speaks…https://x.com/biffpoggi/status/1723053325556351324?s=46To be honest, when you rock this on the sidelines weekly, I can’t help be trust your word…
But that's what makes this great! So yeah, teams steal signs and teams illegally scout in person. But then one program develops a crazy, over-involved system and everyone gets up in arms. I mean, he pretended to be a CMU coach!But did they actually violate any NCAA rules? Because the are arcane, dumb and routinely ignored, no one really knows. And regardless, no one believes the NCAA is going to actually enforce them. So now the Big Ten is being asked to do something because...unwritten rules maybe? Nobody likes Jim Harbaugh? And of course, Jim Harbaugh's attorney writes a letter that looks like it was plaigerized right off of the UM Rivals board. Like did Joey and Sam quote Ners in their letter to Wojo?It's just another example of how beautifully crazy college football actually is. And why I will maintain until I die, that for better or worse it is the sport that best represents America.
Jim can't be on the sideline...until he can get the B1G some money. If they beat PSU and OSU, he can be back for the B1G title (because if they lost that then they get no teams in the CFP) and the CFP.Nice.
Seems like he can be up in the booth?
This is just the best punishment. It's largely symbolic and turns Michigan into martyrs.
