lordstanley Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 (edited) This is such a bizarre take by Bielema. Says coaches around the league share sign information with each other all the time and he is totally cool with that, but if a team like Michigan sends people to watch a future opponent’s game, that is sickening. He seems to genuinely believe that, not saying so because he has an exe to grind with Harbaugh or is “scared” of Michigan. What I honestly don’t get is why. This is starting to remind me of “The Code” in baseball where some want you to follow silly unwritten rules about how to respond to brushbacks, how to wear your socks, when you can bat flips, whether you can bunt during no-hitters. Outrage is acceptable in certain instances, other times you are expected to suck it up. Don’t deviate!

Family medical reasons to stay in North Carolina... I could be misremembering. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a good mix of calm, low key, matter of fact, business like, professional. He just seemed to have this quiet strength about him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

romad1 Posted November 10, 2023 Share Posted November 10, 2023 Just now, romad1 said: Apparently the B1G has an announcement today. Should be an interesting day. The narrative spun by the mouth-breathers who don't know the law is that this late hour of dropping the suspension prevents Harbaugh and Michigan from responding. What they don't realize is that plays right into the rush-to-judgement defense that M and Harbaugh have prepared. Basically, either defer to NCAA or lose...and you will lose, B1G.

Judges are on call for this kind of stuff pretty much 24/7. And it will just tick-off the judge more and make him even less sympathetic to the B1G action for them to bring it on an off day. But the other side of the coin is that maybe Pettiti doesn't care if the court reverses him. He gets to play good cop with the other coaches, the games (and revenue stream from having a top contender) go on.....

Gonna be some anger out there for sure It has been such a weird season. Non-conference games felt like preseason games, with the rest of the country kicking off while it seems Michigan was still resting. Then came four conference games that I thought would be a bit more competitive but were all cruises. Then two games with this sign controversy in the background. So 9 games in, tomorrow at noon will feel like the first time Michigan is facing a real football challenge this season.

Normally Doug and Gator play Switzerland and don't call out other shows. I was laughing my ass off this morning when they had an exchange like "this will probably come out in the afternoon show", "oh, do you think they'll talk about it?" ... long pause... "Mike will probably say he doesn't want to talk about it and then talk about it for four hours" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandyMarsh Posted November 10, 2023 Share Posted November 10, 2023 I hate Valenti's continuous "If this was Ryan Day or Mark Dantonio Michigan fans would be calling for their heads, instead since it's Harbaugh they completely downplay it. " Even if that were true he acts like this is just a UofM thing, virtually every fan from all facets of sports defend their team and put down their rivals. You could just as easily say "If this were Ryan Day you know OSU fans would treat it like it's no big deal and wouldnt want it to be talked about 24/7" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
