I was just coming here to lol at how light this “punishment” against Michigan was. And their fans are apparently so upset by it, that they are going to commit a bunch of crimes in response.

What did someone say earlier in this thread? College football is so stupid and I love it.

miami_fan · 11-10-2023, 05:17 PM

Where does Michgan file the appeal to prevent the suspension from going ahead? Federal or State?

bronconick · 11-10-2023, 05:30 PM

Saw this and it made me laugh.

so... harbaugh still gets to recruit, still gets to be with the team all week for practices, he just can't be on the sideline making decisions during the game????

miami_fan · 11-10-2023, 05:34 PM

That's hilarious. And would be a perfect solution to Miami's coaching problem.

GrantDawg · 11-10-2023, 08:21 PM

The judge assigned to the injunction for Jim Harbaugh is a Michigan alum who works with the university currently, and played football at Michigan in 1972.

This is pretty much where I’m at. Assuming that the facts come out that Connor Stalions was doing this at the coaches’ request and they were using this to get an advantage during games, they appear to have broken the rules in a very stupid way, and deserve to be punished.

This whole thing remains the stupidest sports scandal ever.

The main culprit’s name is Connor Stalions. Stupid.
The whole scheme he cooked up and trail he left behind. Stupid.
Going on a covert op on the CMU sidelines. Stupid.
The Big 10 coaches and ADs whining on that call. Stupid.
Michigan’s letter to the Big 10 in response. Stupid.
The timing and substance of the Big 10’s punishment. Stupid.

It’s all a bad look for Michigan, Harbaugh and the Big 10.

I have a couple of friends who are much bigger UofM fans than I am and have some deeper ties to the university. Talking with them on this and hearing their takes is what I imagine it feels like to watch Fox News all of the time. They are living in a world with an alternate set of facts where this whole thing was cooked up by Ryan Day and his PI brother and part of a long running personal griefs with Michigan. It’s bizarre.

GrantDawg · 11-11-2023, 07:17 AM

Agreed, HB. The whole thing is full of breathless hyperbole from both sides. The driving need to punish Harbaugh does come off as an vendetta-like obsession. But then the ridiculous ways Michigan fans have tried to justify a clear breach of rules is very Trumpian.

Honolulu_Blue · 11-11-2023, 07:37 AM

Totally. Last night on a WhatsApp chat group I’m in, guys were declaring “war” on the Big 10. Saying that the Big 10 should be prepared to “go to the mattresses.” Declaring that Michigan should leave the Big 10 after this.

It’s such hyperbolic nonsense over very little.

And on all of this on the eve of the start of Michigan’s 2-5 game regular season.

bronconick · 11-11-2023, 08:42 AM

Yes. You should leave your conference of over 100 years over a man who will quite possibly be coaching the Chargers or Bears next year regardless of what the University is willing to go to the mat for.

No injunction. Harbaugh is not going to be on the sideline today. Now watch Michigan win by 70 points and people start wondering if they are better off without him on the sidelines.

If they weren't chasing points, they could have just kicked and been seven down. I understand always going for two or rarely going for two, but I hate chasing points in the first half. There's just too much game left to come.

Thomkal · 11-11-2023, 06:51 PM

Coastal Carolina played at home against Texas State in a steady rain for most of the game. They had to hold off a late comeback, but held on to win 31-23. They are now bowl eligible even though they are still with out QB#1 McCall.

It's crazy because it wasn't even close. The ball, after it was dropped, was still clearly on about the 2 yard line and two UW players ran by it to go celebrate with the guy that dropped the ball.

Iowa has an offensive explosion and scores 22 on over 400 yards offense. Wonder if that moves us closer to 132

Win 51-10, get fired. Not exactly a good look although this is obviously about the overall record. I wonder if they were afraid he'd beat LSU and have a bit too much momentum to easily move on. Plus doing it now gives them an early chance to start their search.

This could be interesting for WVU. The money guys love Jimbo, but Brown’s seat isn’t quite so hot right now. Although yesterday ratcheted it up a few degrees.

Ksyrup · 11-12-2023, 09:02 AM

I think the Oregon State coach is well regarded. A lot of A&M people are saying the dynamics within A&M don't make it a very attractive job so it may be hard to get a well-established coach.

Ksyrup · 11-12-2023, 09:04 AM

Not fired yet (or officially). But yeah, doesn't look good for him.

FWIW, I'd give him one more year. Last year, QB and RB got hurt. This year, both OC and DC are new. IMO the DC was no big loss but it's clear the OC was.
