2023 Michigan Season Thread

[ELA]

And I was wrong about memes as @MaximumSam pointed out well.

i mean we are discussing breaking the rules of a game.  There's no reason to take any of it seriously.  I hope this thread becomes nothing but memes

On the original CFN board (the one that Pete Fiutak owned), we had a PSU thread that turned into nothing but jokes. 

That was a lot of fun and I'm sure @Big Beef Tacosupreme remembers it well.

That would work well in this thread, methinks.

Couldn't agree more which is why my dad hat went on. Too many good humans on this board to start calling each other a-holes and stoopid.. 

Would enough memes help us convert you back to AAA?

I'm also guessing perhaps this is how the computer files were accessed.  An unrelated FBI investigation.  IIRC this is what brought down Tressell.  The tattoo parlor was being investigated for money laundering, and they stumbled upon some NCAA violations.  Looks like Michigan's OC was involved in separate computer crimes, and then the NCAA violations were discovered via the subpoena power that the FBI has

I would just add that it was quite a bit stupider than that. The guy they were investigating decided to go see an attorney. Unfortunately, he went to see an attorney who was locally famous for being shady and who also was a walk on linebacker for OSU in the 80's. The attorney, Chris Cicero, who had previously been popped for banging a judge in her chambers and who was at least investigated for helping arrange a hit on a witness, decided to email Tressel everything the guy told him about tattoos. He has since been disbarred.

No, nobody is saying they are connected.  But that would explain how this information the Washington Post reported last night might have gotten out.  Just like Tattoogate.

Who was popped?

[MaximumSam]

Who was popped?

I guess they both ended up popped in the end

And now he doesn't have to be an attorney anymore.  That's a win-win

There's something happening here, what is ain't exactly clear

Neil Young, if he was to chime in, would say this is the most egregious scandal he's ever seen, and Harbaugh should have had "2 more losses to O - HI - O"
