    I’ve never gotten into the really spicy peppers, but I’m so glad others have.

    Here's a better version 

     

    They cut the video before the end of the segment... Stone hands a pepper to Spielman and Chris just chomps right into it without blinking. Rob looks like he's going to have kittens, he's so surprised.

  2. I linked to this article earlier, but I really think this is the strategy... especially now that they're going with the full Otter argument:  "We're not denying something happened... and you're really criticizing the United States of America!"

    If Michigan can delay and threaten and obfuscate their way out of additional penalties until January 8 they will have won the war. They just need to win a championship on the field before any additional suspensions, lost scholarships or even vacated victories are handed down the NCAA mountain.

    Michigan knows how this works.

    Remember the Fab Five, Michigan’s freshman class that stormed onto the college basketball scene and made electric tournament runs to the Final Four in 1992 and 1993? Of course you remember them.

    But you’re not supposed to. Both of those Final Four appearances were vacated as a result of major recruiting violations. So as far as college basketball is concerned, those Final Four trips never happened.

    But, they did. We all remember watching Chris Webber and Jalen Rose and the rest of those guys smash their way through two NCAA tournament brackets. They were rock stars, forces of nature that upended the sport. Freshmen weren’t supposed to do what they did.

    And that’s the point: they did it. Bureaucrats eventually stripped Michigan of their Final Four banners, but those penalties aren’t as real as what we saw with our own eyes.

    Notice how nobody on the maize and blue side ever denies that they cheated?

    That's the best part of the B1G's communication last Friday: "Notably, the University’s November 8 response does not deny that the impermissible scheme occurred. Instead, it offers only procedural and technical arguments designed to delay accountability."

    Michigan is not fighting this to such an absurdly aggressive degree because they care about the suspension. It’s a nothingburger.

    They’re fighting it as a shot across the bow at the NCAA. UM knows the NCAA has the dirt (and may soon find more) to bring down the hammer, and they‘re trying to send the message: “if we move hell and earth to fight a B10 suspension, imagine what we would do to fight real punishment.”

    They know the NCAA shits down its leg at the thought of being drug into federal court for a case that would scrutinize the scope/power of the NCAA’s authority. 

    Nah- They're fighting because no one cares about vacated titles.

    They just need to delay 8 weeks or so. Once the game is played, it's over, and the Walmart Wolverines can sell shirts that capitalize on their victimhood and sense of entitlement.

  5. The NCAA, B1G, and university all have evidence that the staffer/scout behind the scheme provided information that was received by Michigan coaches. 

    Their arguments include "you can't move because we've not had time to review the evidence" However, they've had the evidence the same length of time as the conference. 

    The University did not act on any of the information until engaged about this a second time by the conference. Then they suspended Stalions. 

    And here's the part that I don't understand... 

    The conference has evidence that the staffer/scout behind the scheme provided information that was received by Michigan coaches. 

    But this suspension is only for Harbaugh, leaving gameday management of the team to the offensive and defensive coordinators who were most likely working directly Stalions.

    In the end, all the legal posturing and bullshit about whether or not Harbaugh knew or whether Day turned them in, or who else was also stealing signs are all smoke designed to obfuscate the issue. All that matters is that:

    1. There is ample evidence that Michigan Football broke the rules
    2. Jim Harbaugh is the head coach, and he is ultimately responsible for what goes on in his organization

    So all of the other shit about what anybody else was doing and whether or not Harbaugh knew doesn't matter. He's the responsible party.

    Mr BS has spoken. : r/cfbmemes

  7. Team A is cheating. Team B either reports it (individually or with others) or confirms what they've experienced when asked directly.

    Why is Team B the problem here?

    Go corded. It's the only way to be sure.

    One nice feature is that if there's a turnover, the QB can closeline the guy as he runs by.

    Our coaches' sideline headsets were corded. We had a linebacker that used to stand on the cord so that when our (asshole) head coach took off running with a play, he got "yoink!'d"
