Ok, coming from the same dude that probably wears a Browns sweatshirt  and the muni-lot is a disgrace to family integrity.
I own one Browns shirt.  The QB pictured on it is Bernie Kosar so yeah, not me.  

Sorry, but this is the 4th time he’s brought up my kids in a conversation? He doesn’t know my kids, doesn’t know my family and there should always be an unwritten rule - leave my kids out of your f-ing mouth! I’ve let it pass a few times, but he’s consistently brought them up.

What do you tell your kids? None of your damn business how I raise my kids.
I brought it up specifically because I don't think you are @Mdot21 .  I think you are a good person.  I think if YOU were AD a M, you'd have reacted more appropriately.  

Either I'm wrong, of you have to somehow deal with the juxtaposition of being a good person, telling your kids not to lie, cheat, and steal and then wearing a sweatshirt with a logo of a school that is complicit in lying, cheating, and stealing.  How do you deal with that?  

We have enough facts to know that this happened.  How do you deal with it?

I'm calling for a truce.

Gives me and @GopherRock a chance to join the fight club.

Which gives me inspiration to start a new thread.

"The CFB51 Fight Club Thread"

And keep all the shit in there instead of every Michigan or Ohio State or Rankings or Stream thread. Or or or.

I'm consulting @utee94 and @ELA on this concept.
We went over the rules in the dressing room.

Defend yourself at all times.

Obey my commands at all times.

If you knock the other man down, go to the neutral corner and stay there until I tell you otherwise.

I’m glad you don’t respect me. Again you bring up kids. Let’s through juxtaposition in there to sound “super smart.”

Many years ago talking privately to some really good Penn State guys on here, I learned you can’t characterize people by their fanhood and the actions of the institution or organization. They actions can be terrible, but doesn’t outline the character of all the fans. Penn State fans weren’t  supporters of child abuse. They didn’t know how to hang on to meaningful memories with family and friend. Houston Astros fans aren’t terrible humans for their teams actions of crossing the line, hitting a garbage can near the locker room. Are there tons of red flags? Sure are, but doesn’t make the father and son that shared winning the World Series together terrible human that deserve no respect because they aren’t focusing on cheating rather then their memory together.

I’m the type of person, especially due to the moments I’ve faced in life, that it’s not the sport, the team or the organization I bow down to, it’s the memories it gives me and the people I love.

So when I focus more on my moments after brain surgery, with my three kids in Michigan gear and watching them jump up and down and be so happy, I could give a damn less if Michigan won or lost. It was the moment with them, after facing uncertainty of survival of a surgery and not being able to leave bed for 5 months, but having them gather in the same room with me every Saturday that had everything to do with appreciating a moment I wasn’t sure I’d get rather that being obsessed with the win.

So MB, I hope you dislike me because over and over you characterize me a certain way and you don’t know a damn thing about my. You don’t know my priorities in life, my giving spirit to my family and friend and the amount of people in real life that are in my corner because of who I am.

You’re just a keyboard warrior that’s just an asshole at this point and I pray that you have even a fraction of good people in your corner that I have when you go through life jeopardizing medical circumstances. Until then, sit up on your high horse and show how you focus on the wrong shit in life. You’re foaming at the mouth wondering how I’m talking to my kids about Michigan cheating and I take every moment with my kids to be thankful they still have a dad and 20 months ago he couldn’t get out of bed and today he spends ever moment he can with them. Because you know what doesn’t matter? Some bitter ass buckeye fan screaming about cheating a year later. And what does matter, is the time they are getting that was not guaranteed

I think we can all agree nobody likes the Astros.  They intentionally tanked for years, and then when they couldn't get over the hump they cheated.  And then their GM celebrated by yelling at women journalists how glad they were they signed an abuser who Toronto cut.  They literally checked every box of shitty.  I don't want to lump them in with Baylor's basketball coach covering a murder, because they did nothing illegal.  But man, tanking, cheating, signing domestic abusers.  I can't think of a more easily hatable team.  I actually do think anyone celebrating Astros championships has issues.

Did Michigan cheat?  Obviously.  But it was the perfect college football scandal.  Nobody was hurt.  You have a random staffer becoming a celebrity, wearing disguises on opponent sidelines.  Michigan wound up winning a championship, that every rival can stick an asterisk on, that Michigan fans can defend.  Man, it's perfect.  The fact that Stallions is dead to fans, and Taylor Lewan has a podcast?  Nah, get that rapist out of my fance, and give me a million Connor Stallions.  Don't make it into something it isn't

I am once again asking for all discussions of the Michigan scandal be in meme form

Meh, every single one of OU's football titles is at least as tainted, but I don't hear any of you yahoos howling about that.

Auburn with Cam Newton.

USC with Reggie Bush.

Tons of football titles are tainted, and the only people who ever give a rat's ass about it, are the closest rivals.

I disagree

payin players is a different form of cheating and something that has been going on since the beginning of the sport

stealing signs is also a lifelong thing, but not to this EXTENT

this is unprecedented and should be treated as such

Feel free to disagree.  I don't see any difference at all.

OU's large scale of paying players was more akin to professional football than it was college, they gained a tremendous advantage over their competitors who refused to engage in the same forbidden tactics, and it was so institutionalized that it went on for decades upon decades, under numerous school administrations, numerous ADs, and numerous head coaches.

So no, I don't see it as any different.  And yet you dipsticks are howling about THIS one case.  It's honestly laughable.
