Baker said he did not know what those penalties might be or when they would arrive. He said the NCAA infractions team is working on finding ways to move faster with its process. In the sign-stealing case, Big Ten commissioner Tony Petitti had to employ a controversial interpretation of the league's sportsmanship policy to levy any punishment during the season in which alleged violation occurred.
"We do have a series of discussions going on with the infractions folks about whether or not we can't do something to speed up the pace of our investigations," Baker said. "Certainly in a case like this, we'd like to be able to move a lot more quickly."
Baker said he hopes the investigation will pick up speed now that the season is over and the Michigan coaching staff will be more readily available to speak to investigators.
From my untrained eye, the TE matchup advantage we have against all of the other teams on our schedule may not be there against Alabama. Turner is a multi-award semi-finalist (Lombardi, Bednarik, Lott), Lawson is a Butkis semi-finalist and Marshall is just "a guy" but a RS Sr who would start on a dozen BIG teams. We have concerns, Dude.
I think Mars takes this head on in his letter. The fact that this provision has only been used to punish individuals for talking about refs etc and not for enforcement of rules violations is unprecedented. Mars questions his authority to take measures.
It's better to maximize the damage to the Big Ten brand by leaking things. Like, we should get the names of the coaches who colluded next. Then we should get the actual texts. See how the league likes having its reputation dragged like Michigan has. If the commissioner has any sense or good people around him he'll have gotten the message from the OSU/RU/PU warning shot.
Brisket comes off the smoker in a couple of hours. Hosting 3 ECU alumni at my place. I have found most of the ECU people in my life tend to be my kind of people for whatever reason. Not close friends but good friends nonetheless. No one coming over has Peacock (and why would you except to watch a game or two) so it makes sense to have watch party. I used the Horror as bait. Heavily favored Michigan team vs an NC team that they have never played before on a brand new network… “anything can happen”
I have a variety of BBA stouts and a bunch of midwestern dank IPAs and some beer flavored beer. I will probably not drink because it hurts when I do. I’m now one of the olds.
Will be serving cruditès, charcuterie, disappearing dip, beans and slaw as sides. I have a lot of work to do before they start arriving in 4 hours so I should probably get out of bed.
This area is all about competition bbq, and my father in law is often a judge so I’ll concede that’s very likely a blind spot. It’s not a great feeling to have labored for hours only to have some credentialed know it all break down everything you did wrong.
I agree and generally prefer the Damarion rub but the fam likes Memphis Dust. I make several sauces so I don’t think it fights the dust at all. Dalmatian can get a little salty, especially after 2 days, so it’s overnight brine if I’m doing it. Also I have hypertension and salt does ramp it up so I try to go easy on it. I use Aleppo pepper sometimes with the salt and that has a great flavor that’s a little unexpected. We have a sable Corgi so I call it the Corgi rub.
We are just going to disagree on the fat cap thickness. My wife, SIL and 11 year old will just cut it off with all of that wonderful bark. I don’t know how you would recover discarded fat from someone’s plate for nachos without tasking them or doing it before you served it and I’m too damned busy trying to get people served and to eat my own food to worry about it.
I’m sure your brisket is amazing. I’m glad we had this discussion because I feel like I got something different to try and maybe found a blind spot.
I’m a big fan of Meatheads book. I’d argue that the 1” fat cap is too much even fat side down but the fat does belong between the meat and the heats. Many people don’t like to eat fat and that will cause them to discard the bark along with the fat, and I worked hard on that. Also rub applied to a thick fat cap will not penetrate the meat. I usually try for 1/3”. You gotta leave some if you’re not crutching through the stall.
Dalmatian rub is a great start and no argument there but I usually end with my variation of Memphis Dust because it’s what my people want.
You can faux cambro for 4 hours if you need to covered or uncovered and searzall it if your bark gets wet. No one can tell the difference and sometimes with the variability of the cut/cook it comes off at different times. I like being able to keep it warm/hot for a long time.
I make a few sauces since here I have a lot of Lexington and Eastern purists. I make a Texas and a KC sauce for me. Friday night I’ll start the cook and plan for it to be in the faux cambro by 10am Saturday. I’m making an Eastern sauce for my guests who are all ECU alumni and that would be the custom for them even though it’s much better on pulled pork.
My wife and I have several friends who happen to be ECU alumni who live and work in RTP with us so we’ve invited them over for the game. They think they’re in for a drubbing and I hope that they’re correct but the Horror lingers in my memory and I’ve reminded them all that’s why they play the games.
The housekeeper is coming tomorrow and Sunday so we don’t have much to do in terms of prep other than some cooking.
Bourbon, beer, Brunswick stew, brisket, charcuterie and crudités. I’m super excited for college football.
My brother went to OSU. He was accepted at Michigan but they gave him a lot more money. He’s now a professor so it worked out for him without the 50k student debt that I had from Michigan. This was in the 90s. I make considerably more than he does as a business owner but he’s an amazing person and inspires me routinely. We are best friends 364 days a year.
I am at the airport right now headed to Orlando to say goodbye to my mother. She’s been on the ICU/Recovery/Rehab wheel since February. She’s decided to stop and let the system failures proceed unchecked so we are gathering around her. It’s been a long 5 months.
Your remembrance of them is their legacy so pour one out/raise a glass (I know you don’t do that anymore and neither do I but it’s the only expression I can think of with my sleep-deprived mind). Talk to your grandchildren about them (when you get them).
What else can you do? Be there for your siblings and other surviving loved ones and let them be there for you I guess.
I give to a collective and buy a lot of trading cards. It’s gonna be a good year baby! I don’t know anything about the cards value but I’ve been a collector my whole life.

Wild to hear Spielman on the color. He’s come a long way.
Curious, Did not know that Moore grew up in a football family.
This team is unwatchable.
I am not watching a team as listless and unmotivated as this one. It’s a waste of time.
Yeah it was an amazing ride. Thrill of victory, agony of defeat stuff. Much more satisfying than ‘97.
This has been a great vacation.
Thank you for your service.
I love this place.
Playa del Carmen. Mimosa.
Donated again.
Lights on for the banging!
There’s plenty that rhymes with “same” and “lanes.” Just seems like lack of effort.
This reminds me of the great G.K. Chesterton quote, “Poets have been mysteriously silent on the subject of cheese.” Just sub gravy here.

Oh shit
They are terrified.

Just remember he’s always bleazed. Dude is a mad stoner these days.
38-7 - Michigan
Get fucking Shrekt Big Ten. Amazingly thorough evisceration.

Homonyms are apparently hard.
Unless those rules were found to be illegal.
He actually dropped the names on Tuesday. Yesterday (Wed) he said he thought they would be leaked to the media at large but were not.

I'll take Feldman's legal opinion just like I take relationship advice from my accountant.
It's hate week.
Kelly heads down South,
Bayou dreams may come to nought,
Crawfish spit him out.
I had it 3 weeks ago and it nearly killed me. Pretty much still a thing.
There was a FOIA request regarding the investigation in August so it was clearly leaked.
Pepto may ease the end of the journey. Worth a shot.

Yeah just tie them up in court. You want to play games, we have more lawyers than you do.
Yes. I don’t enjoy taking a beer bath down the back of my neck from an over-served idiot .
