Marcellus Wiley Tweet (more of the same)
Michigan fans, go to the Basketball game on Tuesday and make sure you stay in your seats for halftime...It will be well worth it! #Harbaugh

Does ESPN not care that some of their guys are saying he is staying in the NFL and MW is saying he is going to M? Oh yeah I forgot they don't care.

Crazy thing is Wiley has been tweeting Harbaugh to Michigan for days going on weeks now.
December 28th, 2014 at 9:52 AM ^
If you go back and read every tweet...he basically was trolling to be an "inside" reporter like guys on ESPN. And then it started picking up steam and he was clearly on the "right: side of things.
What's funny is if he boosts his career and becomes an "insider" off of this.
It really was just knowing the one person was some decent knowledge of the situation and then acting as if he knew it all, making a prediction and being right.
But it's not like this prediction was hard. It was pretty much 50/50 and if you're wrong, it's not like it's your Schefty and it's your job and people are going to remind you of it. Wiley is a talking head in the same vein as Barkley or Shaq, they make predictions like this as well, but no one calls them out when they're wrong because they're Barkley and Shaq.
So I'm not going to give him a ton of credit. I'm just going to give him credit for sharing some info that was against majority/popular belief of his employer.

Speaking of which, Schefter just can't let it go.
December 28th, 2014 at 1:55 AM ^
seems a done deal
December 28th, 2014 at 2:33 AM ^
I think it's hilarious.

Mw has his own show out here with Max Kellerman. Actually it's a real good show as Max is probably the best guy associated with Espn. I don't think MW cares what the guys at ESPN think of him. Good for him that he was reporting what his sources were telling him.

Just Sayin'!

Lucky Stars? No religion here!!

How is some dude from SportsNation so much more informed than their "experts"?
December 28th, 2014 at 2:02 AM ^
Former pro player with lots of friends in the league. This means the nfl reporters were hearing the same thing yet continued to insist JH was staying in the NFL. Strange.
December 28th, 2014 at 2:04 AM ^
He played football in San Diego around the same time as harbaugh was there and my guess is that even though they didn't play together, they may have common contacts from then that they are both in touch with.
December 28th, 2014 at 2:12 AM ^
Because he's not "some dude." He is "DAT DUDE."
December 28th, 2014 at 2:55 AM ^
Doesn't have a agenda like the others.
December 28th, 2014 at 2:02 AM ^
Who'd of thunk Marcellus would ever put out a tweet that turned things from 6 to 12 for me.

Get that man tickets to the game...
December 28th, 2014 at 6:09 AM ^
Anyone looking at giving away their tickets on Tuesday?

Tickets are now 10 times the price in two days.
December 28th, 2014 at 6:33 AM ^
That's OK, I look forward to playing the clip of Harbaugh addressing the crowd in an infinite loop afterwards.
December 28th, 2014 at 6:39 AM ^
If the fans are not chanting "Harbaugh" all during the first half I will be (slightly) disappointed.
December 28th, 2014 at 7:10 AM ^
I find it interesting/hilarious that Wiley is more in tune to UM than Michigan grad Schefter. He is still trying to put doubt in our minds that Jim will stay in NFL.
December 28th, 2014 at 7:58 AM ^
Thank God he has a photo with his twitter page - we now know what Marcellus Wiley looks like

Somewhere in Bristol, Connecticut at a very large office complex that houses a certain sports network, I am sure that a programming director is trying to convince his bosses that they should cover "something significant" at the Michigan-Illinois game on Tuesday, and their reply is likely along the lines of "Why, are the 1989 squads for each team going to play some pick-up hoops at halftime or something?"

The Oakland Raiders will name their new coach live from Ann Arbor.
