Fine with me
November 9th, 2023 at 2:23 PM ^
FINE with me
November 9th, 2023 at 2:30 PM ^
The response letter force them to refine their approach.
But there is still no sportsmanship violation
November 9th, 2023 at 2:59 PM ^
B1G called that pun-ishable
November 9th, 2023 at 3:36 PM ^
As long as it ends it so we don't go all D.C. al Fine.
/ it could've been D.S. al Fine, but Stalions stole the sign
November 9th, 2023 at 3:50 PM ^
This will not get near the upvotes it deserves, but take mine and know that you made me laugh out loud.
November 9th, 2023 at 4:04 PM ^
Wow. Is that good or what!
November 9th, 2023 at 4:05 PM ^
You must have been in the marching band.
November 9th, 2023 at 4:18 PM ^
'95-'99
November 9th, 2023 at 4:01 PM ^
I still might sue the shit out of them for gross negligent misconduct and malpractice in the form of enabling libel, slander, fake news and all around horrible PR.
November 9th, 2023 at 4:52 PM ^
Take the slap on the wrist and call it a day. But only if Day, Schiano et al receive a similar slap on the wrist.
November 9th, 2023 at 2:25 PM ^
I c wut u did thar.
November 9th, 2023 at 2:26 PM ^
I say we refuse to pay, and then we sue them for legal fees already incurred as a result of this clown show.
November 9th, 2023 at 2:36 PM ^
Let's start with the B1G but then go after espn.
November 9th, 2023 at 3:31 PM ^
Fuck ESPN. They’re not all bad, but I was watching ‘Get Up’ this morning and they had a graphic detailing Harbaugh’s Michigan record “before the cheating started” and “after the cheating started.” Pete Finebaum teed off on this which drove me bananas! Pete made the lazy and stupid argument that “obviously they cheated, how else could they go from a bad team to such a great team?”
I did some research because Georgia had a similar rise over the past 3 seasons:
Harbaugh’s record 2015-2020 (49-22 or 69%) - not bad! 2021-2023 (34-3 or 92%). An improvement of 23%!
Kirby Smart’s record 2016-2020 (52-14 or 79%). 2021-2023 (38-1 or 97%!!). An improvement of 18%.
What changed at Georgia??? They have OBVIOUSLY been cheating!!! How else could they possibly improve that much during that time?!?!? /s
Fuck Pete Finebaum! Cocksucker.
November 9th, 2023 at 3:37 PM ^
obviously Georgia cheated 5% less than we did
November 9th, 2023 at 3:46 PM ^
November 9th, 2023 at 9:43 PM ^
However, our 23% improvement is approximately 21.7% better than Georgia's 18% improvement.
November 9th, 2023 at 3:56 PM ^
ESPN has always been a shitshow but they outdid themselves. The front page is, STILL littered with “sign stealing” and Harbaugh. I’ve got grandkids who will no longer watch a dam thing on the Disney family of networks and I’ve cancelled anything that company owns. I’d buy an elephant for them to ride, (probably cheaper) before I’d spend one cent at Disney world. This whole thing has been reported like a political hit job, which is pretty much their whole schtick as a company. They just applied their science to Michigan football! After this is settled I hope we sue and finish them into the bankruptcy they should have filed a year ago.
November 9th, 2023 at 3:59 PM ^
Finebaum has such a myopic view. Is he that dumb or is he dishonest? Where should I start? As I recall, Harbaugh had an even greater improvement when coaching Univ of SD. Also at Stanford. Stallions was a toddler, if he was even born. Similar improvement in the 49ers job, long after the NFL put headsets in helmets (1994). It takes a while to build a team that had been underperforming. Getting new players, new coaches, coaching up the players. Sheesh!
November 9th, 2023 at 5:22 PM ^
Michigan went 8-1 in conference in 2017, and 8-1 in 2021. Clearly, only cheating could account for the difference in conference records between the two years.
November 9th, 2023 at 4:23 PM ^
Quit watching that channel
November 9th, 2023 at 4:56 PM ^
you should stop watching ESPN and cut your cable so that they can no longer profit from you.
November 9th, 2023 at 6:10 PM ^
Clearly Stalions has been working for the Diamondbacks too!
November 9th, 2023 at 5:01 PM ^
If the gameday comes to AA, someone should hold a sign
thE Shit Piece Network
November 9th, 2023 at 3:06 PM ^
And then just go ahead and open up a bit more of The Binder and put the sniveling hypocrites throwing stones from their glass houses on egg shells.
November 9th, 2023 at 4:25 PM ^
How about all the other B1G schools that have profited off of Michigan's success pay that fine.
November 10th, 2023 at 2:22 AM ^
While receiving the BIG10 , championship trophy from Petiti. Hand him a letter and say “ by the way we are suing you”
November 9th, 2023 at 2:27 PM ^
Not fine with me until the investigation by the NCAA is completed. The letter Michigan sent to the B1G suggests that there is no evidence that would as of now justify punishment.
November 9th, 2023 at 2:49 PM ^
Pay nothing. Let’s fight, Tony.
November 9th, 2023 at 3:06 PM ^
It's a good point, although I'm sure U-M would accept a fine if that's the end of it.
We already subsidize the vast majority of this conference anyway.
November 9th, 2023 at 3:31 PM ^
The conference wants Michigan to accept the plea deal rather than going through an entire trial. They're hoping Michigan makes a risk assessment and just accepts a fine even though that would be an admission of guilt.
November 9th, 2023 at 3:36 PM ^
I hear the fine is going into a medical fund to support players that have been injured by stolen signs.
November 9th, 2023 at 3:56 PM ^
This deserves more upvotes!
November 9th, 2023 at 4:19 PM ^
Done!
November 9th, 2023 at 2:28 PM ^
I think UM should write the B1G a third-party, co-signed check drawn on a bank in Turkmenistan
November 9th, 2023 at 2:30 PM ^
Anyone have one of those worthless bored ape jpegs that we can offer?
November 9th, 2023 at 2:31 PM ^
"Eat shit, Tony" in the memo field.
November 9th, 2023 at 2:31 PM ^
Chickensquat mofos trying to walk this back. Tell them we'll take it out of our first TV share from the ACC.
Or just say, Hey--we're going to hold a symposium at the end of the season and invite lots of guest speakers to talk about a) cheating in college football, history and options, and b) getting players paid. Keynote by Santa. We'll make an on-stage presentation of your check with Jim's welcoming remarks.
November 9th, 2023 at 2:37 PM ^
Of late, I recently developed an "in" with a former Nigerian Prince, via email, who I think I could talk into throwing in an IOU as well; he's good for it until he is able to reclaim his sheltered assets...
November 9th, 2023 at 3:32 PM ^
Hey! i know that guy! He's sending me a bunch of money too!
November 9th, 2023 at 2:38 PM ^
I hear there is a Nigerian Prince with all kinds of money that he doesn't know what to do with...
November 9th, 2023 at 2:55 PM ^
The check needs to be denominated in Russian rubles
November 9th, 2023 at 3:03 PM ^
No, we pay cash. In Canadian pennies.
November 9th, 2023 at 3:25 PM ^
I thought the Bank would be in Bolivia....
November 9th, 2023 at 3:30 PM ^
I suggest instead that Michigan offer the B1G a minority interest in Connor Stalions' vacuum business. That ought to square things among all parties.
November 9th, 2023 at 3:38 PM ^
Pay them in FTT
