Michigan State AD Alan Haller reportedly calls out Big Ten hypocrisy over Michigan scandal
Apparently Haller sees a correlation between a rogue, low level sign stealer and assault committed by multiple MSU players.
Self awareness is still not a thing in EL I guess.https://sports.yahoo.com/michigan-state-ad-alan-haller-022009435.html

Oh well, fuck him.
November 3rd, 2023 at 8:35 PM ^
Haller will talk shit now that he’s already gotten his ass whupping. Wonder how he’d be talking if he was facing Michigan this week. What a candy ass
November 3rd, 2023 at 9:12 PM ^
Love the update!
November 3rd, 2023 at 10:28 PM ^
Hook 'em
November 3rd, 2023 at 9:56 PM ^
The look of a man who knows he has bigger goals, and that beating MSU wasn’t much more than a footnote in how the story of this season will be written.
November 3rd, 2023 at 8:36 PM ^
The 3 msu fans that stuck around to the end of that game agree w Haller
November 3rd, 2023 at 8:02 PM ^
He's free to leave the conference. His school does not meaningfully contribute to the TV deals driving realignment. He's a have not bitching about a have, and that's a bad place to start. It's worse when you're morally and factually in the wrong to boot.
November 3rd, 2023 at 8:53 PM ^
Eventually, the Big Ten is going to realize it has a Washington but no Washington State, an Oregon but no Oregon State, an Iowa but no Iowa State, and so on, and then they will fix the glitch. MSU will stop getting their paycheck so it will just work itself out naturally.
November 3rd, 2023 at 9:00 PM ^
And Ohio will be added to the conference.
November 3rd, 2023 at 9:14 PM ^
Let’s get this fucker a “jump to conclusions mat” while we’re at it.
November 4th, 2023 at 12:18 AM ^
"Uh, yeah, MSU, what is it exactly that you would say you do here?"
November 4th, 2023 at 12:47 AM ^
No cake for Sparty and they can go watch the squirrels.
November 3rd, 2023 at 8:02 PM ^
Hahahahahahahhahaha.
*Inhale*
Hahahahahahahahahahaha
November 3rd, 2023 at 8:03 PM ^
I always think Sparty logic has hit a new low, and then stuff like this comes out. At the end of the day, all you can do is
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
November 3rd, 2023 at 8:04 PM ^
Didn't one of his players spear a Michigan player?
Maybe worry about your own house Haller
November 3rd, 2023 at 8:06 PM ^
Haha absolutely. Players arrested last year for assault, a coach fired for....well.... pulling a fast one?....seems like that program is at or near the bottom
November 3rd, 2023 at 8:29 PM ^
Nothing like calling attention to someone with their thermostat set a little too warm when your house is on fire.
November 3rd, 2023 at 8:04 PM ^
All this tells you is MSU sees no issue with their behavior and the unnecessary roughness will continue
November 3rd, 2023 at 8:57 PM ^
There's a wonderful channel on YouTube that takes the highlights of Michigan's games and uses the away teams radio calls on them. It's fantastic schadenfreude. Upon watching the msu game, their announcer (Blaha) complained during the game about the lack of security last year. He was very pointed in cutting off his OWN sideline reporter to make sure he got his two cents in that it was Michigan's fault. They all think like this.
Same thing with Tucker....just read the comments on The Athletic "the actions of one man do not represent the entire university" was used repeatedly. They're BEYOND delusional.
November 3rd, 2023 at 8:05 PM ^
It was all about player safety. Now remind me which program had a player ejected for launching themselves forward head first at a defenseless player on the ground?
November 3rd, 2023 at 8:05 PM ^
ROFL - he's playing to his audience. We've determined that sign-stealing is permissible, what is at question is the way it was done. To compare that to an assault takes a special kind of malevolent stupidity.
November 3rd, 2023 at 8:06 PM ^
Ok cool. Hook ‘em.
I mean this is seriously unhinged. Yes let’s compare a guy buying tickets for others to help him scout to a group of student athletes for your university LITERALLY ASSAULTING OPPOSING PLAYERS FOR NO REASON. One using his helmet as a weapon.
Man, you’d think Connor Stalions murdered a guy with the hyperbole going around here. Michigan needs to take a long hard look at leaving the conference if this is how everyone else is going to treat them in the midst of an ongoing investigation.
November 3rd, 2023 at 8:07 PM ^
If he wants to draw comparisons, I guess somebody should point out that no MSU coach was suspended for the actions of the players involved.
November 3rd, 2023 at 8:09 PM ^
This...isn't new information. But it looks like it's new to a lot you so let it fly.
November 3rd, 2023 at 8:09 PM ^
Haller worried about players potentially getting hurt because Michigan players, in theory, knew where they'd be going on plays.
November 3rd, 2023 at 8:09 PM ^
The MSU players assaulting our guys was Michigan's fault. Because the Big House has a tunnel. Or so I've been told. I might be wrong.
November 3rd, 2023 at 8:09 PM ^
Old news this is from like wednesday or thursday.
November 3rd, 2023 at 8:09 PM ^
Isn’t this old news?
November 3rd, 2023 at 8:16 PM ^
New info - Stalion was fired!
November 3rd, 2023 at 8:31 PM ^
How many times!
November 3rd, 2023 at 8:10 PM ^
Sorry Doctor Haller (is it Doctor?). Probably not. Politely go fuck yourself. Thx.
-Mgmt
November 3rd, 2023 at 8:11 PM ^
Someone should let him know that Stalions was suspended immediately. And the school didn’t need to wait for the conference to take action. 🐸☕️
November 3rd, 2023 at 8:11 PM ^
As they say in the south: oh bless your heart...
November 3rd, 2023 at 8:11 PM ^
Fucking loser mentality and comments from msu, that is all
November 3rd, 2023 at 8:12 PM ^
I thought he’d be too busy pleasuring himself to his Urban Meyer pipe dream….
November 3rd, 2023 at 8:18 PM ^
Hitler on the scoreboard. Checkmate.
November 3rd, 2023 at 8:22 PM ^
Apparently this was posted a few days ago. I searched the first two pages and didn't notice it and that's why I went ahead. My apologies.
November 3rd, 2023 at 8:28 PM ^
It was part of the AD meeting thread that had 300 comments. You weren't going to get it from the post titles. You have to read literally every word on all posts on the board every day. No one told you?

A presentation of the circumstances:
Michigan: employed an entry-level staff analyst that - under his own admission - used a network of friends/professional contacts to electronically record contests between future opponents [against the rules], in an effort to steal said opponent's play signs during their contest against Michigan [not against the rules] on his own accord.
Michigan State: members of their team were recorded on video unprovokingly swinging helmets, punching, kicking and stomping on Michigan players [against the rules, against the law] as words were exchanged at the end of last year's game versus Michigan.
If Haller would like to argue both discretions are of equal egregiousness, and thus, should demand a similar recourse; then he may as well argue jaywalking is of equal egregiousness as reckless drunk driving. Anyone in an influential administrative position making this kind argument in good faith is demonstrating they do not have the critical reasoning skills to hold the position in the first place.
I think we all know (or should I say, assume) Haller is not making this argument in good faith. So he may not be stupid, just morally bankrupt. But it has to be at least one of the two.
November 3rd, 2023 at 8:26 PM ^
They didn’t really need to investigate the tunnel thing because there were multiple videos of your players jumping Michigan players. Like 4. So there’s your investigation. They were also charged criminally. But yea, let’s compare it. JFC
November 3rd, 2023 at 9:19 PM ^
Let’s not forget, there was a tunnel incident with Ped State too! Something about peanut butter & jelly sandwiches? That tunnel is a menace.
November 3rd, 2023 at 8:33 PM ^
He should be worried by his lawsuit with TuckComin (via phone sex).

If I was Michigan, I would dis-own OSU and MSU, let them have each other.
November 3rd, 2023 at 8:45 PM ^
Who cares.
