I don't know why anyone is surprised. A man who orders milk at a steak house is capable of almost anything.
Always enjoy watching these scandals play out until it's our turn down the line. The beauty of irrelevance
As an Astros fan (but also OSU), I think it's best that I sit this thread out But before I go -- 2 tacos from Torchy's (a Crossroads and a Green Chile Pork, both on flour tortilla), some Hillbilly Queso & chips, and a nice cup of ice water
Would it be funny if Michigan blew the easiest path it's had to a title in forever by cheating against teams that they would have beaten by 30 without? I'm not saying yes, but yes
Many! But was meeting some best friends (a married couple) and treating them for a birthday and other stuff and told them to pick. But hitting up the original Carrabba's with some other close friends for dinner--and not treating for that one, ha--so will eat much better tonight
God damn, I saw this being shared on social media without knowing the new context and thought people were making fun of Schiano for sounding like he was paranoid about a nearby cult or something.
Stolen Signals: A Football Saga Comes Full Circle July 9, 20087:00 AM ET Heard on The Bryant Park Project Transcript The Michigan Wolverines played the Northwestern Wildcats in Ann Arbor in 1995. Jonathan Daniel/Allsport In 1997, Jonathan Datz was a ball boy for the University of Michigan football team, and David Hansburg was Northwestern University's director of football operations. The two didn't know each other, but they both played key roles in the course of a dramatic confrontation between the two teams. It took 10 years and an unlikely chance encounter for both men to learn everything that happened on that unusually warm November afternoon. By halftime, Michigan was struggling. It seemed Northwestern had crawled inside the Michigan coaches' heads, anticipating plays before they were executed. "When we came out in the third quarter, as opposed to the first and second quarters, our offense wasn't moving," says Datz. He noticed a guy wearing glasses and a backward cap who was yelling Michigan's plays to Northwestern before Michigan ran them. "He was good," says Datz. "He was on the money." Datz and his fellow ball boys worked up the courage to tell the assistant coach to tell head coach Lloyd Carr. By the fourth quarter, Michigan started sending decoy signals in addition to the real ones. Michigan beat Northwestern and went on to the national championship. That guy with the backward cap was David Hansburg, who had figured out Michigan's plays by watching signals during the first two quarters. Hansburg met Datz through an improbable coincidence earlier this year in Colorado, where both men had moved. Hansburg now runs a children's camp and Datz is an assistant district attorney. Datz, it turned out was handling a case against a suspect accused of breaking into Hansburg's wife's car. When Datz went to the Hansburg household, he struck up a conversation about football. "He started, as lawyers can do, taking me down a path, and I knew exactly where he was going," says Hansburg. "When I revealed myself, I wish I had Jonathan's face on videotape, because it was awesome."
You're allowed to steal signs the good old fashioned way: with your eyes and brain. However, per the NCAA, a program may not send personnel to scout games in-person (levels playing field between programs) and may not intercept in-game electronic communications. Michigan's assistant Matt Weiss was fired immediately after last year's bowl season because he failed to attend a meeting to discuss whether he had gained access to computer accounts belonging to other people. One of the AD officials told Weiss that the university had evidence that he had "inappropriately accessed" the accounts. Neither the university nor the AD has released any further details. Things that make you go hmm...
Which part? Have some close friends from college in town and we're hitting up Carrabba's for an early dinner and then watching the game. And friends needed something quick and nearby for lunch so they picked Torchy's
Rutgers taking down the Big 10 matriarch would be the greatest thing in the history of college sports
Oh cool, the original Carrabba's is here in Houston and has nothing to do with the chain restaurants.
You think that Michigan suspended a coach and then fired him for cause because that coach illegally accessed... the online University of Michigan accounts of people in the program who were stealing signs for the program? You're an idiot.
Funny when someone with comprehension challenges calls you an idiot. Anywho... All we know is that your offensive coordinator was investigated and fired immediately after last season for "computer access crimes." No other information has been released. Now we're reading about allegations that may center on theft of electronic communications since that is how the NCAA typifies a form of illegal sign stealing. Everything is just conjecture because we have very few details.
Sleepy Ryan and the deep B1G state with its shadow investigators are trying to make Teflon Jim look bad because he made Michigan great again.
Just means Senator Jim Harbaugh (R-MI) moves up on the timeline by a few years. Thanks for nuthin' Rutgers.
All I know is, RU went up 7-0 real quick and then had a defensive stop. Extrapolated out, we were well on our way to winning 70-0. Seems the cheating commenced after that.
