  1. Dear Colleagues and Students, Earlier this week, the Department of Intercollegiate Athletics dismissed head football coach Sherrone Moore with cause for violating University policy by engaging in an inappropriate relationship with a staff member. When the findings of a University investigation into Coach Moore’s behavior were presented on Wednesday, we immediately terminated his employment. There is absolutely no tolerance for this conduct at the University of Michigan. None. All of the facts here must be known, so the University’s investigation will continue. I encourage anyone with information about this matter to confidentially post it on surlyhorns.com Sincerely, Domenico Grasso, PhD President
  2. i see. However, it is now being reported by news sources that she didn’t go to the AD with the receipts but in fact, went to the law firm that was handling the investigation. She reported that she was being stalked and that she when tried to transfer out of the department, her transfer was blocked by the coach. That seems like that falls within the boundary of the school, no?
  3. Okay, the story is just getting more confusing. Recent allegations: When Shivers stopped seeing Moore, he tried to fire her or, in fact, fired her, and then began stalking her. Shivers then went to the AD and showed him all the tea. (Text messages, etc) AD then fired Moore and Moore then went to Shiver’s apartment. Chaos ensues. I want to address the firing in another post, because it reminds me of another infamous incident. It is interesting that she will potentially sue the university and make off w millions considering she also violated policy. (Yes, I understand that she is considered a victim due to the power imbalance.)
  4. Random fact: my wife and I are on the last episode of the Cosby Show. We are in the stands for the college graduation scene. My wife’s best friend was the stage manager on the show and put us in the scene, haha.
  5. You left out the mental health aspect, which has already been floated by his supporters and his lawyers will no-doubt try to use. I'm gonna start using it, too: "Honey, you want to know about these OnlyFans charges on our AMEX card? I'm having a mental health crisis."
  6. It was one of the Klingon knives they sell on QVC Network. She's a huge Trekkie. And a Swiftie.
  7. Apologies if already posted, but Paige is apparently the daughter of long-time Chicago Bears scout Jeff Shiver. And this Michigan Man Rich Eisen video is really illuminating. Here are the highlights: 2:04 'I don't know what happened' 4:37 'This is a total mystery to me' 5:34 'I have no idea what this means' 8:27 'I'm as lost as everyone else is' 10:36 'This is so confusing'
  8. Winner of the best and funniest post. The humiliation from this season is endless.
  9. I wonder if all the Purdue fans hate their recent success. Guessing the answer is a big yes.
  10. I also mentioned that we are every impressed with the company and the brands they own. I'm not going to mention them here, as she would kill me. And yes, I am a very proud father, so I apologize for that.
  11. Great points and totally valid about cutting research. However, the Time of London has one of, and possibly the most highly regarded metric for world university rankings in the world. For their 2026 rankings, the US, as usual, has 7 of the top 10 universities in the world, and 13 of the top 20, as well as over 50% of the top 100. That is a fact. My point is that we always complain and think everything is at its most terrible. Do we have a lot of dumb, anti-education morons in this country? Hell yes. Do we have a crazy weird world of college sports? For sure. Do we have the most and best universities in the world. Also true.
  12. Well, I always believe that you are entitled to your opinions, and this a great place to share them. I enjoy and appreciate your posts, and I am glad that you are here.
  13. I see you're still telling people what they should and shouldn't think and post.
  14. I disagree. People are posting about how practicing and playing this meaningless game will help our players and team improve and I don't think that is absolutely true, as you are dependent on how good your coaches are and how motivated your players are. Did bowl practices help Strong and Herman's teams be better the following year? I don't think it helped one bit. In fact, getting more coaching from bad coaches may make you actually worse. If you listened to the Big 10 Championship post game interviews by the Indiana players said, it was very instructive. They both talked about going out to practice throwing and catching at 5:30am on Sundays. I was wondering how their 0-star receiver was making insane catch after insane catch, and now I know. When I watch our supposed 5-star players drop balls all over the field in big games, I wonder whether they have the same commitment or they are getting the best coaching and I don't think the bowl game will help one bit.
  15. If that’s the case, that’s pretty embarrassing for the rest of the world, because the country that doesn’t care about academics has won 41% of all Nobel Prizes and most of ours are in science and medicine. That’s more than the next seven counties combined.
  16. Got me laughing.
