Around the Big Ten

[Dr. Strangelove]

Oooh, rather than go with the more obvious "what a dumb rule" maneuver, Liney employs the "everybody does it" gambit.

It's not going to cost M a damn thing. No wins. No championships. Just like the Astros.

But, man -- IF the evidence continues to mount up then I'm going to have a WHOLE LOT OF FUN with this.

Well, its a dumb rule, but you already know that, so I don't need to beat that drum anymore.

Mostly it is sarcastic sass and making fun of you guys thinking that this is actually going to end up with Michigan getting sanctioned. Great stuff.

It was one or the other. Those are the only two plays.

Knock yourself out sir.

Here, let me give you another one for your Rolodex...

"Michigan is one of the cleanest athletic programs in all of college sports"

Enjoy.

I know what the NCAA will do now ... they'll take away all binoculars that are owned by the Michigan athletic department. And VCR cameras. Get those too. And all the cassette tapes that go with them. Burn that operation down!!!!

[lineygoblue]

And make Michigan travel by train from now on. No more air travel. THAT will send a strong message!!!!!!!!!

[Dr. Strangelove]

Well I think most of the league hates the ol' Buckeyes and would happily turn us in if they caught us red-handed. But since they haven't I can only assume we're just really smart, significantly smarter than Jimmy Ballgame and his $55,000 man. At least use your girlfriend's name or something.

The have Dr. KGB buying tickets to 30 games that he never went to, personally. And they have stadium footage of a person in his seat holding up his cellphone the entire game.

I mean, it wasn't hard to figure out what was going on here. I mean -- this was pretty much my precise guess. It was fairly obvious.

They were going to games, recording signals and pairing them up with the broadcast to decipher them and then Stalions was on the sidelines telling Minter exactly what was coming. That's very much what this is really, really starting to look like.

6 seasons of failure, enter Stalions and....

And when they get to their game destination, they can't travel by bus... they have to walk to their hotel. And NO hotels that are better than a Motel 6. Cheating bastards can't be allowed to have decent accomodations ...

.... although that doesn't apply when they go to Columbus, because there ARE no better accomodations available there....

[iam416]

God-fucking-damn is this great.

[lineygoblue]

6 seasons of failure, enter Stalions and....

BOOM! ... two Big Ten Titles, two wins over OSU, and two playoff appearances!!!!

YES!!! Give that man a raise!!!!!

Great job, leatherneck.

[iam416]

There's no doubt the M fans who thought the Astros were dirty as hell will embrace the Legend of Stalions. LMMFAO.

[Dr. Strangelove]

A lightbulb lit up inside Jimmy Milkman's head when the Tigers hired Hinch.

[iam416]

HARBAUGH!!!! just has to deny, deny, deny -- dare someone to do something -- and they'll weather the storm even though everyone will know they cheated.

Just like the Astros.
