I heard him on the Athletic podcast 2 weeks ago, as their Michigan writer, and he was probably the most level headed guy I've heard. Like, no, this probably isn't a massive advantage, but it's still a very well known rule, and if you could just hire a guy with a limited military background to break codes, every team would do it. His thought was that someone knew, and the higher ups probably didn't "know", but knew it was abnormal, and didn't want to know, and didn't want to ask. And Michigan fans thinking nothing is coming from this are fooling themselves

Yep. Charlie Weis' "decided schematic advantage" in Foxboro showed us that.

Speaking of blimps

Michigan Regent Acker:

Yes they do.

Hang on. That is a UM Regent, saying those things? Seriously?

Yes

[847badgerfan]

Those types need to stay out of the fray, in my opinion.

So embarrassing for that whole school.

as part of their self delusion and deflection, they desperately grasp at straws for a scapegoat.

despite the fact that they have not one  shred of evidence, and that it’s been fully debunked already, they want to blame their arch rivals coach.

Notice it’s never anyone in their own program that did the dirty deeds?  we’re all still waiting for this “dossier” of dirt they have on other programs.  😂😂😂😂😂😂

That is pretty astonishing to me. 

Regent Jordan B. Acker is a Democrat from Huntington Woods, Michigan, and has served on the Board of Regents since 2019. He received his B.A. degree from the University of Michigan in 2006 and his J.D. degree from American University – Washington College of Law in 2010. He is the first Regent to have graduated in the 21st century.

Prior to law school, Acker worked as a communications aide to the House Judiciary Committee. After law school, Regent Acker served as an associate in the White House Office of Presidential Personnel before being appointed by President Obama to be an attorney-advisor to Secretary Janet Napolitano at the Department of Homeland Security. While at DHS, Regent Acker worked on cyber, immigration and other homeland security issues, and served on the staffs of both Secretary Napolitano and Deputy Secretary Jane Lute.

The other thing about that is this:

-the question is being asked if the arch rival hired a private investigation, firm to catch you cheating, because they couldn’t beat you

-the question everyone else is asking is, did Michigan start cheating because they couldn’t beat their arch rival 

now when you look at the evidence that actually exists, including the performance against the rival before, and after the cheating, the performance against the spread before, and after the cheating, clearly one of those questions has strong evidence to support it, while the other is purely, made up with not 1 ounce of evidence to support it
