Purdue (6-3, 8-4) vs #2 Michigan (9-0, 12-0) Game Week Thread

[ELA]

Those guys were caught on video swinging helmets and trying to stomp on guys and was a National story.

That guy was caught swinging his helmet.  And he was charged with a felony.  Then also ask why it was a national story.  Remember the whole ESPN MSU Title 9 story started because ESPN FOIAd a bunch of schools, and MSU was the only one to decline, so ESPN fought them on it.  Eventually it came out, and MSU was on par with normal prosecution rates, and actually prosecuted athletes at a higher rate.  But the schools requested were MSU, not Michigan; Oklahoma State, not Oklahoma; Texas Tech, not Texas.

Then ask why Michigan stars keep getting sweetheart deals by local prosecution?  Savit should resign, but he won't

Historically, Ann Arbor police have been quite adverse to Michigan athletes.  If this happened to one of Dantonio's thugs the East Lansing police probably would have loaded and test fired the pistol for them. /s

Thugs again?  Another big yikes

[ELA]

Also (i) why was the car pulled over; and (ii) why was it searched?

Either these charges seem legit, and the persecutors office is looking bad; or this is some racist police bullshit, and the Ann Arbor police officers again look bad

Purdue is getting it done in football and basketball.  Great job, Boilers...

hey guys can we get back to talking about the game and not speculating on a case that we don't know the details yet and comparing alleged crimes committed by MSU/Michigan players? 

there is a lot we still don't know yet. some "insiders" over on the michigan boards are claiming Mazi's concealed carry permit expired and he has since renewed it. i don't know what happened but i am not going to crucify the 20 year old kid. let's wait to find out more before we go that route maybe. 

my position remains this: if you're a high profile athlete in college or pros, you probably shouldn't be carrying guns period or out late. especially if you're a pro and you've got millions. hire security and when you have that kinda money you can have anything brought to you- you don't need to be out late to get anything weather it be food, drugs, alcohol, girls....that stuff can be brought to your house. like cris carter said....when you're rich...get a fall guy. he caught flack for that- but he was on point. gotta be smart. like it or not- if you are a high profile athlete you are a target.

I agree with MDOT here, but this statement just seems off. Which Michigan stars have gotten sweetheart deals? I may live under a rock, but is this a common thing?

Second straight weapons charge that was swept under the rug.  But fine, lets not talk about it.  I moved on already, I already responded to the previous Purdue comment.  It way easier to talk about football.  Not like any UM fan would talk about "thug culture"

He's very good, but IMO, Edwards is better, and Corum is a good RB made great by the OL. Edwards has never had to carry the whole workload, so that would be my only hesitation, but I think he's the best running back Michigan has had since Wheatley. Better than Biakabatuka, Perry or Hart

Have the gun laws in Michigan changed since I left there in 2016?    Back then you could not even get that permit until you were 18 years old, and it was good for 5 years.  Isn’t Mazi Smith 21?

It is curious why he is being charged with a FELONY on November 30th for an offense that happened on October 7. 

The statement by Warde Manuel is humorous.
“He is not a danger”.    Is that the standard?
 
ELA is so correct about the double standard. From the striking of another coach by Zjuan Howard to this, UM and many of their fans- their hypocrisy knows no bounds. 

They are all over their blogs and forums defending all off this vehemently.  And we know from experience that if this happened at Michigan State Ohio State, they would be apoplectic.

Maybe it’s your approach and consistent bad mouthing of a Michigan fan.

Yeah how would that doofus Ian Rapport know this? He covers the NFL, has zero connections to Michigan or Harbaugh, and Harbaugh and his staff don’t talk. 

What knee surgery would Corum need to have if it wasn’t an acl? 

I just have questions about this. I’ll wait to hear from a legit Michigan source before I buy into anything that doofus says.
