only you would take that post and reference arthur conan doyle. lol. 😀

i agree that it is his job to know. and he'll face punishment for that from the ncaa about it. again, my disagreement is that this is not a major thing considering what actually happens in college football. the punishment does not fit the crime, imo.

on the topic of harbaugh since no one asked me... it would not surprise me if he had no knowledge of this. not because i think harbaugh is a saint - he's a football coach and like every big time football coach is looking to press any advantage he can - but because i dont think organization and attention span are his strengths. in short, i think harbaugh isnt very smart and is distracted by ambulances. if you talk to people in chicago they'll tell you how surprised they were he's been so successful because he was "kinda dumb". i think he's a great football coach. one of the best football coaches in the sport and will be successful wherever he goes, even the nfl. but he's constantly distracted, either by the nfl or by shiny objects (josh gattis' spread and shred, don brown's blitzes), or the inability to follow minor rules (cheeseburgers) he probably doesnt even pay attention to, that throw him off track. its not far fetched for me to believe there are lots of things going on in that football program he knows nothing about. jim harbaugh is not the evil genius osu makes him out to be: he's just a big dumb football coach. a very good, big dumb football coach.

what a shot.

putting the mgoblog stuff aside, putting the motownsports trolls aside, i just dont think the punishment fits the crime. as for the media, if this were bama or ohio state or any of the other big name teams it would be a big deal to the media. as for the ncaa, its a big deal because of harbaugh. as for the big ten, its a big deal because its michigan and pettiti has not handled it well. if this is the sec, this never happens this way. the big ten is destroying itself over what is basically a minor violation. michigan is not helping with its combatitive attitude. and in all honesty, i dont believe the "institution" of michigan and specifically the athletic department is very well run. and you can see that in all the stuff that has happened to it very publicly recently.

ivey, wiseman, and harris for lavine. do you do it?

why is this a big deal to you? because of the public perception?

i just dont understand the difference. if you steal signs at a game, and then pass them to another team to use, that's fine. if someone videotapes it in person on their iphone who is on your staff, that's wrong. what's the difference? why is one "ok" and the other is the "worst scandal in big ten history"? to me, the coach's argument is "we've all stolen signs and passed them to other teams, but that's happened for years so its ok." is that a real justification for the rule? i have always said: if michigan broke rules they should face a penalty. and they have. but the penalty does not fit the crime, imo. especially when other programs do basically the same thing but in a mildly different way and its not a big deal. its not even against the rules.

ncaa two years ago: this provides minimal advantage if any and we need to address whether we need this rule at all. ncaa after it finds out someone on jim harbaugh's staff did it: this is the worst scandal in big ten history. it's laughable.

the lions have beaten one team with a winning record and that team was without two of their best players. the best team they played crushed them. the second best team they played beat them at home. their defense has major holes against any fully functional offense with a pulse. lets hold off on the super bowl predictions just yet. lol. deapite my reservations, i really hope houston comes back and can make an immediate difference because they badly need any kind of pass rush. what happened to the successful stunts from last year? have i missed it or are they not running as many of those now?

lol, this remains the dumbest **** in the history of college football.

"quadrant of woe" has been our home for the last 15 years.

serves the clippers right. i hope kwahi and george leave after this year.

not sure anyone would want a first rounder from this year's draft.

sam postulating the pistons might trade for lavine. unlikely. sam probably doesnt remember that the pistons cant trade their first round pick because they owe it to the knicks. the trade would have to be centered around ivey + something else. probably duren. i doubt the pistons would deal duren.

bowling green was his worst game. penn state was weird and i imagine if harbaugh was there they would have operated a bit differently, but you never know.

i'd be surprised if either make it back or, if they do, that either makes much of a difference after missing an entire season of football.

i thought i read he just had a baby, that might be it.

ohio state is a much different proposition than any team they've played so far. jj also had his worst game without harbaugh and the penn state game was weird.

what a great trade. they should have just dealt Livers for him. useless IR player for useless IR player.

because michigan caved. like they always do.

i dont think that's true. i think harbaugh has a big influence on game day, especially with jj.

is he going to find players who can shoot, who arent hurt, and then actually play them? novel idea.

draymond gets away with everything. its not the bad boys era. how many times does draymond have to try to intentionally injure someone before the league does something? he obviously owns the warriors. the guy decked jordan poole and the warriors did nothing of substance about it except trade jordan poole the first chance they could get.

so who forms this new league? top tier: michigan, ohio state, penn state, usc, washington, texas, oklahoma, alabama, georgia, lsu, florida, florida state, notre dame. next tier brought on by proximity to top tier: ucla, michigan state, oregon, miami, auburn, texas a & m, clemson. that's 20. who else gets in? north carolina for sure but probably not duke. colorado maybe? arizona for the phoenix market? stanford or cal? probably not if they couldnt even make the big ten cut. boston college? the easier thing to do would be to just take the big ten and sec, add notre dame, north carolina, clemson, and florida state (and maybe miami) and start from there. part of me would love to see michigan casting the vote to exclude purdue, illinois, and rutgers.
