Hadn't seen this posted on here yet, but I find it unlikely that Acker would tweet something like this without evidence...

Fuck it. Everyone else is tweeting shit about Michigan without evidence, so he might as well.

Agreed. Put up or shut up. Drop the binder if it exists. Why should we abide by an old gentleman’s agreement when nobody else does? Also, I would prefer if we stopped giving OSU credit. I guarantee those mouth-breathers would be proud if their coach hired a PI firm. It’s cost us our Head Coach for our three biggest regular season games and we’ve permanently lost a helluva coach and recruiter with Partridge and I don’t want them to be able to take credit for it.

You know our boys are foaming at the mouth for this game and it’s going to be a 4 quarter beat down. I hope we run up the score, go for two, onside kick, and run a flea flicker when up 40 in the fourth quarter. They want us to be a villain, we can play that role perfectly. We’ll Embarass them with the whole world watching.

Isaiah Hole probably already creating a video about how he knows things but can't tell us. He sources have been correct the entire time except for when they went dark and were totally wrong.

Seems like that new TonnorScalions account on X is trying to spill all the dirt on OSU and others. Not sure why the moderators took that thread down? Isaiah Hole says that he knows who runs the account and that the info being tweeted from that account is legit and it is being followed by several legit insiders. Many people think it's Connor Stallions himself.

I don't buy any of this, especially with our track record.  Believe what you want to make yourself feel good. But, we haven't proven anything and they have...with receipts!  And ours?  It's full of supposed insiders with invalidated sources.  It's fucking disgusting to know that Thamel, Dinich, and Finebaum were in fact right.  Fuck off at this point.  It's embarrassing.  Especially when one of our regents is tweeting this nonsense without providing any evidence.  What a shit show.  

Take the L and focus on the game.

Ha, really meaningful coming from you, sir.  You must need a friend.  I got you.

I can take downvotes, no problem.  Probably deserving most times as I can be a complete asshole.  But, I'm here to express my opinions, perhaps not popular ones and not a problem taking some criticisms along the way.  Love this platform.

You can take the L as the true self-identified LOSER as demonstrated in your post.

Go back to 11 Warriors or whatever Buckeye hole you crawled out of and spend your time filling coolers with s$@! as befits you.

This comment of this person showing up on ohio boards has zero credibility since Isaiah Hole says he knows the person who runs that account, he says the information being posted is credible, and Hole is a friend of MGoBlog staff. So by your saying this is a troll account, you are basically saying, Isaiah Hole is a liar.   

You should link references. Otherwise you have no credibility.

Rather than Isaiah Hole being a complete liar (which wouldn’t add up), if you do have references It’s more likely that those ohio board posts are the actual troll to undermine whoever this person is on X. 

I do admit that based on the name of the X account and the way he posts stuff, he is definitely not helping his credibility either

What is truly extraordinary is that we are a month into this saga and there still is no publicly released evidence about who financed and implemented this private investigation. Given the constant leaks in every other aspect of this story... I just don't understand. What is going on?!

The problem is the PI/media firm who found and leaked all this did so to espn or other outlets. Then the ncaa gets wind and investigates the issue. They don’t care where the information comes from, and unfortunately, probably never will.

So whose gonna investigate where all this information came from? Surely not the NCAA, probably not the big ten cuz they are apparent fucks. And so Michigan has to figure it all out on their own, which probably isn’t gonna happen unless there was something really illegal, I.e. hacking. But Stalions was so dumb it wouldn’t take a great PI to find out that’s their sign stealing guy, and find out he had bought all of these tickets to other games, which is the true “crime”.

If there is evidence that OSU is connected to the private investigation, I think this would be a story as juicy as Connor Stalions-gate because it would potentially destabilize the future of the Big Ten. You can already see how angry the regents are by the tweet from Jordan Acker as well as Sarah Hubbard. So this is why I'm confused the media haven't been able to figure it out.

Oh I’m with ya. I do not think there is a chance in hell that OSU did not do this, whether it be Ryan day, the school itself, a booster or someone. Im just saying they did, for them, an excellent job of making sure there was enough of an uproar about the “cheating” aspect of it and therefore, how they got their information doesn’t matter.

The main problem Michigan has is that the media, particularly ESPN, don't care about others doing the same thing that Stallions did. Since it's Michigan, who seems to be hated by everybody, and involves Harbaugh, the media milked it for everything it was worth and then some. If some journalists report on OSU or some other school pulling shady shit on Michigan, how will it get any traction if ESPN and others refuse to make a big deal about it? I feel like it would have to be extraordinary dirt for it to take the spotlight off of Michigan.

I'd propose two reasons:

(1) The journalists already involved in the story have no interest in following up a line of investigation that, if successful, would threaten the narrative they've carefully crafted. (See Thamel's response to the Purdue sign evidence.)

(2) Journalists not yet personally attached to the narrative might find it a hard line of investigation to pursue because the PI firm didn't actually do the investigating. They were hired as a conduit, because if the snoop had dropped the information directly it would have raised eyebrows even at the NCAA. The drops had to be made by somebody they were used to dealing with.

And the timeline won't match up. I'm guessing the snooping had been going on for a long time (more than two years?) before anyone was formally hired.

And trying to figure out who hired the actual investigator is probably a dead end. Nobody had to hire him. The only possible trail there is if he left fingerprints at the scene.

(No, I don't claim any inside information. I'm just following up on public information using the assumption that if a series of coincidences beggars belief it's because they aren't coincidental.)

If there is real evidence of this, UM should have it leaked this week.  It would be glorious to watch, and the spotlight on Day's weakness would be richly deserved.  However, there is so much talk and no real info drop, you wonder what evidence our side actually has.

Will time actually tell?  Time will tell.
