In a two-point game with under 10 to go in the 4th quarter, Ford Field has begun a wave. The headache…. Make it go away.

Does this count as exciting December football?

14 points in the first half?? 😱

I don’t know. Maybe at some point in the game this became true, but they were playing for an undefeated season and an SEC Championship. That’s not nothing, it’s not like they played backups the whole time.

At the end of the day you have beat the best if you want to be the best. All four teams are very good, I don’t mind who we play first.

They’ve used that exact formation on multiple past occasions. I’m sure the entire defense knew exactly what Goff was about to do when he audibled to it. Also, this place is VERY empty today.

The child will almost certainly receive a life sentence. The only thing I could see changing that is if the prosecutor will offer a small carrot (like life with the possibility of parole instead of without the possibility) to the child in exchange for testimony against the parents.

I don't think the parents are blameless. They should live with the full guilt of what their son did, their role in it, and what their role could have been in preventing it, for the rest of their lives. They are not good people and they are not good parents. But they still deserve their day in court.

To a certain degree, everything has to be speculation based on what is known right now because there hasn't been a trial, and won't be one for a while. To answer your question, probably not many parents would, but I don't know that the father calling the police and reporting his gun missing, and being concerned that his son was the shooter, creates the criminal liability of involuntary manslaughter. They were staying at a friend's art studio, probably trying to keep the media circus off of their friends and relatives too.

According to what Smith stated at the arraignment, McDonald avoided contact throughout Thursday. Then, at 3:00, while Smith is in an unrelated trial, she announces charges and expects the parents to be able to teleport to Pontiac to be arraigned by 4:00pm, without any prior notification. When they can't do that (likely because their attorney didn't know it), McDonald goes and claims they are running and that they are not talking to their attorney, neither of which are true. They speak with their attorney and agree to meet at 7:30am at Novi District Court to turn themselves in and be arraigned, which was then relayed to the prosecutor. At that point, the parents options were to either turn themselves in immediately and spend the night in jail waiting to be arraigned from the jail, or to sleep one more night where they were and appear presentable in an arraignment. In any other case, no one would have batted an eye at them choosing the latter. The Judge did agree with the prosecutor. I disagree with the ruling, and can't help but believe it was swayed - at least in part - due to the media perception spun by McDonald.

I think the committee should go 1 Michigan v 4 Cincy 2 Bama v 3 Georgia I think the committee will go 1 Bama v 4 Cincy 2 Michigan v 3 Georgia

Jim Harbaugh is 1-0 in B1G Championship games 😉

42-3 to become B1G champs. wow. who saw this coming in August??? Lol

No matter what the committee says this is the #1 team right now

What a team. No matter what happens from here, this team is fucking special.

Jim Harbaugh can have my first born. There I said it.

I’m drunk and have no intention of stopping. This team!!!!

I don’t want to put the cart before the horse but if they keep it up there will be discussion for Michigan at #1…. I think I would rather play Cincinnati than Georgia. The matchup is slightly better.

Let’s GO

They didn’t disable their phones, my understanding is that it was taken in the search warrant. I haven’t seen anything that says they were near Oxford for three nights, but I could be wrong on that I’m at a bar for the UM game and didn’t look it up. Either way, they couldn’t be home while a search warrant was executed and the media was an absolute circus, let alone the death threats they were getting. Their attorney said in open court that they were going to turn themselves in the next day at 7:30am. Shannon Smith is not going to put her career on the line for these two.

Hate is very strong. I definitely have an inherent distrust though. Per the arraignment (I can’t find a recording or direct quote), their attorney was in constant contact with the clients throughout Thursday, and planned to meet them at 52-3 Court at 7:30am Saturday. Yes I believe that. If the parent or bartender provided a minor with alcohol they’re guilty of a crime notwithstanding what else happened. Different. Here, the parents were not guilty of a crime (or at least have not been charged) except that their kid took the gun out of the home and did what he did.

Every deep pass they’ve taken tonight has been off by 10+ yards

Great read by Cade on that

Anytime it’s reviewed you hold your breath. When they watch it over and over in slow motion, you can see things that just didn’t happen. That was not forcible contact.

Phew
