2023 Michigan Season Thread

If you don’t mind the rational conversation- you can always take a pass.

I'm just saying you can talk trash in terms of actual football

[SuperMario]

Mario when the very prosecutor makes brash statements then doesn't follow thru that is problematic.They flat out ignored the legal and moral applications - so ya meaningless. Then harbaugh calls all 8 of those MSU kids punks but Mazi is a good kid? - 2 months laterSMDH.Honestly I'm surprised the Feds didn't jump on this,there were posters of his get tough on guns talk and there were pictures of his office walls lined with Wolverine memorabelia.Why didn't he recuse himself it's my understanding many attorney's do this if there is an obvious conflict of interest

I don’t disagree with you at all. That being said, there’s always been favoritism with local law and local athletes at major programs. It doesn’t make it right, but it’s certainly not unique to Harbaugh and Michigan.

Secondly, Harbaugh is certainly making a common error when you bring up MSU and Mazi comparisons. When people work hard at investing into very flawed people, they overlook or make excuses for the people they invest in, hoping they can make better decisions in the future, while dismissing the bad decisions made currently. At the same time, they easily see the faults and flaws of people outside of their circle and investment. Again, I don’t think it makes him a scumbag, but someone that’s inconsistent for people he cares about versus those he doesn’t. Sure doesn’t make it right, but it’s common hypocrisy well beyond just him. Doesn’t make it right either nor excusable. I just don’t personally see him as a terrible person, just someone that cares about leniency for those that benefit him strict consequences for those that don’t benefit him.

One week before the MSU Brawl Franklin of all people said it would happen and Booger called him the ringleader and said he had bigger fish to fry.Of course yet another fight errupts then someone gets roughed up and that shit for brains starts calling for investigations that he had the biggest hand in is pointing fingers at everyone else - when he above all others could have reigned it in. He is the outlier or liar what ever you perfer - ignores legal or decent protocols

[Mdot21]

this is hilarious...

Significant rumor that Coach Harbaugh will be suspended indefinitely in a day or two by the Big Ten and that Michigan will challenge in court seeking a stay in his suspension on the ground it violates Big Ten investigation rules and would cause irreparable harm.

[FearlessF]

I guess anything can be challenged in court

[Cincydawg]

I think we're in the Dead Period where there is little to no news, so folks report rumors and rumors of rumors instead.

[MrNubbz]

Oh shut up CD and just let it be true

[FearlessF]

well, there was the cry for due process yesterday

another damning admission

[Cincydawg]

I struggle to understand how Stalions could have effected this rather complex set of actions and then done nothing with the information.

He sat on the data?  Maybe he offered it to the coaches and they said "No thanks?", but he continued to do it?

[FearlessF]

isn't there video of Stalions standing next to Michigan coordinators and offering advice while they are calling plays??

[Cincydawg]

I've seen his standing next to the coordinators, what he was doing is not clear, to me.

Maybe he contrived all this and then nobody was interested in it.

[FearlessF]

probably why he resigned and the Michigan AD & Pres are beggin for due process

[Cincydawg]

I don't think all the evidence is clear, yet, and won't be for a while.  Anything made "public" in the next few weeks is PROBABLY speculation, not real evidence.

It'll all come out eventually, I think.
