Just make sure you head over to Brecksville to the new large construction site and thank the family for buying a couple of the OSU titles during the Tressel era. Until that happens, maybe tone down every Michigan thread where you scream cheaters.
This is two things:
- Grasping at straws.
- The everybody does it defense.
So a Michigan fan says "Ohio State cheats". In other news, water is wet.
Want to find someone who says Bama cheats, go to an Auburn board.
Want to find someone who says Texas cheats, go to an aTm board.
Etc.
Your second is completely wrong on multiple levels:
First, even assuming it's true, it doesn't change the fact that Michigan cheated. Ie, my long-ago example of
@Roaddawg ticketing you for going 80MPH up I271 right after you got passed by me going 90MPH up I271.
Second, Michigan's cheating here is qualitatively different from anything I've ever seen before. Your baseless allegations against Ohio State are the norm. The worst-ever example that I recall was "Auburn" paying a huge amount of prohibited cash to Cam Newton. I put Auburn in quotes because although we all say that, Auburn the institution didn't actually cheat so far as I know. My understanding is that some Auburn fans/boosters gave a bunch of cash to Cam Newton's father's church.
That, like your baseless allegations against Ohio State (assuming they are true) is the typical violation. In those cases a (or some) boosters and a (or some) kids broke the rules.
Michigan's case is qualitatively different because it wasn't some boosters or some kids who broke the rules, it was paid employees of the institution who brazenly flaunted the rules then destroyed evidence, and otherwise obstructed and thwarted the investigation.
Oh, and tOSU had the dignity to fire Tressel for his failure to notify compliance of violations brought to his attention. So far as I know, Moore is still employed by the institution you choose to root for despite deleting incriminating evidence during an active NCAA investigation.
Nice try, false equivalence.
