The word spy is silly to me.  Guy goes to games and keeps track of something.  Frankly, I'm surprised there's a rule against it.
If you're going to use signs and signals, you know - KNOW your opponents are trying to figure them out.

If they figure them out in general, that's on you.  If your opponent is simply trying to do so on gameday, that's lazy.  I'd be pissed if I found out Florida only tried to figure out the other team's signals during the actual game. 

Again, regardless of right or wrong, I confidently assume EVERYONE does this.  I can send a guy into a crowd of 80,000 dressed normally to track signals and signs? 

YUP!  Sign me up.

The Stalions family is loaded in case some of you were wondering how a $55k per year staff member could afford all those tickets.

There’s no connection between Signgate and the FBI investigation of former co-OC Matt Weiss email hacking.

Michigan insiders say Thursday’s meeting with the NCAA went well.  Michigan will continue to fully cooperate and not parse the rules legalese and agrees with the spirit of the rules.

You know, I've never really understood why Bruce Springsteen is all that.

I have a feeling it's New Yorkers who have made him popular, because New Yorkers think they rule the world.
Bruce Springsteen sucks.

Really???

You don't think OSU does the same thing?  Kentucky?  South Alabama?  

Teams use signals and signs and images to code their calls.  An opponent is going to try to beak that code.  Duh.

This is yet another instance where I'm flabbergasted by the response here.  Some kind of po-dunk naivety silliness.

If you are using codes in any walk of life, yes, your OPPPONENTS are trying to break it.  FFS, people.

yes, this is true

But, the Astros are still looked at as cheaters, along with Belichick

Why don’t you just close threads down instead of derailing them?

Good point, but closing threads seems kinda harsh to me. Draconian even.
