Shouldn't those contributions to the game combined with his stats be hall of fame worthy?

Yup. I was interested in Kathy Ireland back in the day. Alas, no reciprocation.

I guess the difference is that there is a rule against the specific type of advance game scouting in person which Michigan violated, and they got caught doing so, and now they have a punishment to serve. The fact that two coaches have been fired and Harbaugh accepted a suspension vs Ohio State is pretty much an admission of such violation (or perhaps others as well), don't you think?

What position does Malloy play? They may have quantity of position players, but do they have quality?

Does Ohtani qualify as such?

And can we stop with the stupid rule tripe? Yes, maybe it is a stupid rule. But its what everybody has to abide by until new legislation is in place. This is a stupid rule: When the offensive team fumbles the football out of the end zone, the result is a turnover, 1st and 10 at the 20. That's way too punitive. I bet most coaches and fans agree. But you never see the fumbling team's coach send his offense out to the 20 to try to snap the ball before anyone realizes what is going on.

Its not as good of a phrase as your "quadrant of woe", but I think the NBA sees the Pistons as the "scheduled game of rest".

Wouldn't it better if they kept their malaise there?

I saw that yesterday. Its pretty sad that a journalist is more contrite for the acts of the program than the program itself.

Did the NCAA know the full extent of what was going on two years ago? I'll admit, I don't even know you referencing from happened two years ago. How are other teams stealing signs? Are they advance scouting like Michigan was (which is apparently against the rules)? Obviously there's something untoward happening here that Michigan doesn't want to let loose. If they were dotting the i's and crossing the t's like they were chest thumping about not all that long ago, they wouldn't accept this punishment, there wouldn't be assistant coaches fired.

So, suspend him next season after he takes an NFL job. Ok. Are we sure other teams are doing the same thing? There may be some, but is it to the point of what Michigan did? And I’ll agree with anyone on this: if other teams knew, why didn’t they change their signs like TCU last season?

That’s a fantastic point.

What should the punishment be? Maybe you’ve mentioned it before, I don’t know.

Yes, the situations are as comparable as apples to goal posts. No argument there. He either knew and he’s lying or he should have known and is foolish. It’s an act of commission or an act of omission. Either way, as the leader of the program, he has to answer to it.

Even if he didn’t know, it’s his job to know. He’s in charge of the program. At least, that’s what you thought of Pat Fitzgerald (which, sure, completely different situation).

Yeah, you know, you might be on the right track. Maybe he has the same memory disorder that Urban Meyer has?

Intriguing....

Any relation to Ice T or Mr T?

Maybe Michigan is serious about going to the SEC after all?

Isn't St. Jim going to giddily roll out the all star substitute head coaching lineup like his last suspension?

I can separate the two. I think what the Tigers need is a keystone combo with the first names of Ben and Jerry. I think then they'd be onto something.

Not quite, I'd rather have the actual game day. But there was so much bluster about Harbaugh having his day in court. And they punt before the hearing? So, if I'm keeping score correctly, 1 assistant coach was fired and 1 head coach has been suspended (including the biggest game on the schedule) and willingly punted his appeal. But nothing wrong happened, there's nothing to see here?

Is that legal?

Can't find the official statistic to prove it, but pitchers never used the inside part of the plate against Kluszewski while he wore this shirt.

I do like ice cream.
