Anything at all to crank up Ryan Day's paranoia is well worth it. I hope there are like 20 people on the sidelines with their phones aimed at OSU's sideline...all damn game.
October 28th, 2023 at 9:44 AM ^
I cant bring myself to watch or read much national media with the current breathless panic about signalegate going on. Might watch a few games today and mute them as soon as someone starts clutching their pearls
October 28th, 2023 at 1:58 PM ^
Speaking of breathless panic, even the halftime shows are talking about it.
Mel Tucker's jacking off didn't get this much attention.
October 28th, 2023 at 9:47 AM ^
With Halloween upcoming, the timing of the leaks might be advantageous as I’m sure there will be tons of fans dressed in Michigan gear with phones and cameras pointed at sidelines all across the country. Will show how silly and petty this “scandal” is to everyone outside of Columbus and East Lansing
October 28th, 2023 at 10:09 AM ^
As "scandals" go, it's kind of a fun one.
October 28th, 2023 at 9:47 AM ^
I did not expect this - it's 47 minutes in and not one word about SignalGate...
October 28th, 2023 at 9:52 AM ^
Its the BLUE WALL
October 28th, 2023 at 9:53 AM ^
You jinxed it though.
October 28th, 2023 at 9:57 AM ^
Desmond saying Oregon has the best costume/uniform was a brain fart.
How could he not say Michigan?
The show is slowly ruining his brain each week.
October 28th, 2023 at 10:13 AM ^
I think he was choosing between Oregon and Utah...?
October 28th, 2023 at 9:59 AM ^
I wonder what Rece Davis’ sources at the NCAA are going to text him (about an open investigation) while they’re on the air today….
October 28th, 2023 at 10:10 AM ^
Yeah, way to discredit themselves right on national TV.
October 28th, 2023 at 10:11 AM ^
Some new wild bizarre allegation, really. Or it's all the same, one allegation.
October 28th, 2023 at 10:16 AM ^
They keep mentioning Weiss and the FBI. Have they figured out how to tie that crime to having anything to do with Michigan football yet? As best I can tell Weiss is on his own with that one.
October 28th, 2023 at 10:34 AM ^
Nobody mentions the hacking that happened at UM a few months ago. There is no proof it is related, but who cares if it is related. Hope someone adds that to the mix.
October 28th, 2023 at 10:11 AM ^
Thamel... LOL! Reporting only parts - the worst parts, obviously. What a joke...
October 28th, 2023 at 10:12 AM ^
And reading from his scripts... What a douche.
October 28th, 2023 at 10:14 AM ^
Yeah, he needs his cue cards up by the camera.
October 28th, 2023 at 11:59 AM ^
Thamel couldn't hardly contain his glee.
No doubt he's sporting wood.
October 28th, 2023 at 11:59 AM ^
Double post
October 28th, 2023 at 10:12 AM ^
Thamel's breath smells like shit and Ryan Day's scrotum.
October 28th, 2023 at 10:14 AM ^
Omg. They don’t report any of what is actually taking place. Still playing it as the worst thing that has happened.
They are literally just trying to ruin our brand.
October 28th, 2023 at 10:20 AM ^
Nah, they're working on their brand. Pat McAfee should tell you all you need to know about their user base. Any damage to UM is incidental.
October 28th, 2023 at 10:36 AM ^
They gave it away in one of the articles from earlier in the week. There was a quote I still remember from an anonymous coach: "no one is that good."
That's the narrative they're going with. Michigan isn't allowed to be good. If Bama, or Georgia, or Clemson, or OSU is good, it's because of their recruiting prowess (which certainly was entirely within the letter AND spirit of the rules), or the brilliance of their coaches. But if Michigan is good? Must be crimes, never mind the facts.
Personally I think recruiting is the motivation here for these media outlets. Recruiting coverage drives their engagement 9 months out of the year, and Michigan kicking ass with "only" top 10 or top 15 classes ruins their narrative that tries to reduce the game to the decisions of 17 year olds.
October 28th, 2023 at 10:15 AM ^
Desmond. Please tell the truth.
October 28th, 2023 at 10:17 AM ^
He didn't. He bought in.
October 28th, 2023 at 10:36 AM ^
He tried last week and he was ganged up. May be he just let it be.
October 28th, 2023 at 10:16 AM ^
If MGoBlog can suss out what's actually going on here, why can't 'national' journalists that are paid to suss these things out? Why are the talking head ex-players, like Herbstreit and Howard - especially Howard - not explaining the details around this?
Manuel needs to be fired into the sun immediately for letting this shit fester.
October 28th, 2023 at 10:20 AM ^
'National' journalists want this to be a big story.
October 28th, 2023 at 10:31 AM ^
“why can’t ‘national' journalists that are paid to suss these things out?”
Welcome to the degenerate state of the lazy, feckless legacy media…
October 28th, 2023 at 10:51 AM ^
No clicks, no outrage.
October 28th, 2023 at 11:23 AM ^
What exactly do you expect Manuel to do to stop "letting this shit fester?"
This is festering because it profits those media outlets and gratifies the ratfuck NCAA leaker to have it fester. Only the NCAA can make this stop festering.
October 28th, 2023 at 12:18 PM ^
You buried the lead. You had me at “Manuel needs to be fired into the sun.” If there has ever been a more useless AD in Michigan’s history, I don’t know who it could be. No accountability and he hides most of the time except when MSU attacks Michigan players in the tunnel.
October 28th, 2023 at 10:17 AM ^
Desmond. Say that Harbaugh didn’t know.
October 28th, 2023 at 10:17 AM ^
Oh hey, Pat is talking out of his ass again about ethics of sign stealing. Can someone put him where he belongs - in a regional wrestling match as a heel?
October 28th, 2023 at 10:17 AM ^
Pete Thamel is garbage. Rece Davis sucks.
October 28th, 2023 at 10:17 AM ^
Wow ESPN panel, way to completely ignore everything Desmond said and just give him blank stares. I am surprised ESPN even let Desmond talk.
October 28th, 2023 at 10:20 AM ^
Annnnnnnd that surprises you lol ?
October 28th, 2023 at 10:24 AM ^
It was really strange, the only thing I can think of is that Desmond has built up too much of a “homer” personality for them to respond to him.
October 28th, 2023 at 10:27 AM ^
To me it read like they agreed with him on the "no excuses" part, but didn't want to say it out loud so they could continue to talk about how Michigan cheated against Penn State in a couple weeks.
October 28th, 2023 at 10:38 AM ^
As opposed to ESPN and Herbstreit? It just doesn't fit their narrative.
October 28th, 2023 at 10:18 AM ^
October 28th, 2023 at 11:28 AM ^
October 28th, 2023 at 12:10 PM ^
No doubt, gonna actually watch football and form my own opinions. Piss on these GameDay hacks.
October 28th, 2023 at 10:19 AM ^
Des: No excuses now, Purdue, Penn State, Maryland, and Ohio State.
October 28th, 2023 at 10:20 AM ^
Wish he had mentioned we already saw with MSU.
October 28th, 2023 at 10:20 AM ^
How does the Weiss computer access investigation have anything to do with Harbaugh? Pete Thamel is a whiny little bitch.
October 28th, 2023 at 10:21 AM ^
Yeah, it's actually evidence of the compliance that ESPN says is lacking.
October 28th, 2023 at 10:25 AM ^
It's not even an NCAA issue as far as anyone knows, right? It's a computer crime, like real laws, for which he was fired and now the FBI is involved. How this is a reflection on Michigan football at all makes no sense.
Maybe it will turn out to be something that is connected, but there's no reason to believe that at the moment.
