MLB and the Detroit Tigers Bandwagon Thread

[lineygoblue]

I just like to see what "other people's" sign-stealing means to him.

Mike said it better than I can.

MLB produced proof that the Astros cheated, and they were rightly punished.

Show me the proof that Michigan violated the rules. I mean, what is so hard about that? What is wrong with that demand? Whomever went bellyaching to the NCAA about this needs to provide the proof that Michigan did what they are being accused of. Seems like a good attorney would like the idea of someone being able to prove an accusation.

On the M Team forum I was very clear -- I'm going to wait and see.

You're the one who was super sanctimonous about the Astros and is now saying there's 100% no way this happened. You're the one who won't wait and see. You're the one who analogized this to Japan and WW2 when the Astros were the clearest, easiest fucking analogy out there. M fans are the ones saying "it's just scouting" -- well, actually, it would be illegal.

You're right -- I -- ME -- I am definitely going to wait and see. If they broke the rules -- and I don't care if you think the rules are fucking stupid -- if they broke the rules -- I want your ass back here to call out HARBAUGH!!! exactly like you called out the Astros. And I'll hold you to that IF the broke the rules.

In the meantime, I'm going to continue to sass the fuck out of M fans and their holier than thou bullshit.

Hang in there, sir. That "hundo" is on the way, and CRD can finally touch home plate.

...sass to the left of me...sass to the right...

I've got to admit, he's got me scratching my head over how the Astros thing relates to what Harbaugh is being accused of.

IMO, its like comparing watermelons to strawberries. Both may be fruit, but there's a big difference.

I'll eat crow all day long if Harbaugh is P.R.O.V.E.N. to be a liar, and actually ordered his guy to find ways to cheat and win.

The Astros were proven to be cheaters. Lets see what Harbaugh's accusers have.

And I'm sorry, but if OSU actually made it possible for a Michigan spy to infiltrate their on-campus practices, (which he IS accused of) and gain a competitive advantage by stealing their signals, then shame on CRD and his entire program. Find some better rent-a-cops, and tighten up access to your practices. And in-game stuff is fair game. Sorry, that's the way I see it.

I have absolutely zero doubt you don’t understand the Astros analogy. Everyone does.

[lineygoblue]

I'm glad they do.

I'm fine with what I've said and what I believe.

[iam416]

This is just so great.

[lineygoblue]

I aim to please, sir. Glad to provide entertainment to such a fine professional as yourself.

A mere retired truck driver from Shiawassee County Michigan, .. providing entertainment as no other can ...

Seems like the proof is there.

NOW it is. It was conjecture on October 20th. Now we just need to focus on the rest of the season because there's currently nothing we can do about the investigation. Hell, we'll have 90 days to respond to the NOI so if we received it tomorrow, Michigan's response wouldn't even be due until after the CFP concluded. IOW, fuck it. Let's go bowling.

[lineygoblue]

Exactly. And who knows? Maybe at the end of all this, we'll have an outcome like Ohio State, where they actually improved their coaching and recruiting as a result of being found cheating.

Tressel fell on his sword for the cause, and it got them Urban Meyer and another NC.

If Michigan can duplicate that result, I'm all for it.

didn't a certain michigan quarterback have a few episodes of "cheating" while on the way to winning some superbowls?

Correct. It's in the culture up there.

Tawmmy also cheated on Giselle with Sam Bankman-Fried
