2023 Season: The Week 10 Thread - (Don't Fear) The Reaper

[Mame YO]

More smoke coming out about B1G corches meeting, they want meatchicken's head.

The Athletic put out an updated version of their STOP RATE metric and weak competition aside it's starting to look a little suspicious with UM sitting as an extreme outlier at #1 giving up just .58pts/drive and an astonishing 88.9% stop rate compared to #2 Ohio State giving up .91pts/drive (82.5% stop rate) and ranks 2-10 averaging out to 1.23 pts/drive (77.8% stop rate).

If TCU could beat the sign-stealin', then I do not feel bad for the teams who were too stupid not to

 

[Southpaw]

They didn't beat it. Michigan didn't have their signs because they couldn't advance scout them. By the time they knew they would play, there was no game to go to.

 

[fried rice]

I’ve heard that TCU was aware of the sign stealing, but had a month to prepare and change up signals.

 

[Southpaw]

They may have been aware but there was also no games for Connor to attend unless he was also a time traveler or fortune teller. Nobody thought TCU would get in at the time.

I’ve heard that TCU was aware of the sign stealing, but had a month to prepare and change up signals.

That was the story was last week. TCU was warned by several coaching staffs they believed Michigan was stealing signs. TCU then changed up their signs but kept the old signs in as dummy signs. It was 21-3 before you could bat an eye.

With this potential for Michigan to be sharing intel to effectively handicap potential opponents to affect playoff selection. I don't know what you do with them besides bring down the pain. It seems to me this is one of the bigger scandals in my lifetime. It affects the play on the field, it affects playoff seedings, it also affects betting lines.

 

[Southpaw]

College just needs to do the radio comms in the helmet at this point as well.

 

[Dr. Shats Basoon]

It's nice this is an actual football scandal instead of something horrifying like the institutional coverup of child abuse, rape or sexual assaults. The goofs and gaffs are a lot less dark

 

[Lightningwar]

That we know of right now, he was sending other people to these games. I have a feeling as this progresses we will find out there were more tickets purchased for a wider selection of teams.

 

[Lightningwar]

Like cmon

Heh that is pretty blatant.

 

[Rutgers Mike]

Maybe Rutgers should go to the Big East if they feel they are not being treated fairly by B1G

Nice try CJ

Not a bit - 100%. Hearing people whine about the integrity of the game is a lot better than hearing about how the football program is full of terrible people.

 

[CJ_24]

I still think teams try to steal signs all the time and don't quite understand why it's such a big deal that B1G mongs weren't smart enough to outwit fucking HARBAW

 

[Skeeter]

It's no surprise you don't understand.

Your opinion was already known.

 

[CJ_24]

Isn't this why teams change signals game to game and have dummy calls? What am I missing?

 

[Skeeter]

Harbs sticking with that, I don't know who he is, I had no idea tired trumpkin line?

 

[Skeeter]

Ever try to make a basic change at work? Now change your whole system in a week and lmk how that turns out.

 

[DeadMan]

Maybe the guy making millions of dollars a year and a bunch of professional athletes spending 60+ hours a week on football should be able to figure it out? It's not comparable to whatever sclerotic bureaucracy you deal with at your job.

 

[OU11]

harbs with the backing of the sicialians to all you haters

 

[kella]

can a Michigan player do a rape to pull the heat off of Harbaugh already

 

[kella]

this is bad, sure, but what's also bad is that they even need these signs. Can your QB and offense not manage calling 2 plays in the huddle and using audibles? Why do they even need this circus

 

[Mr. Radpants]

Very allegorical

One of their low level assistants got catfished trying to hook up with an underage girl apparently so there's that

Lol, ur not changing the system, ur changing how you name the plays. What's so hard about changing a run call from "rabbit" to "sonny" or something. This shit isn't hard, nfl players do it every week

 

[CJ_24]

This. It's not fucking rocket science

Send UCLA and USC to Minnesota and Iowa in late November u cowards

 

[Mame YO]

Oregon got hosed on the bye weeks (week 5 and 14, so 8 straight games) but at least there’s a couple of cupcakes between Ohio state and meatchicken.

 

[Mame YO]

Week 2 bye kind of sucks too @bruin

[CJ_24]

Fucking oregon is definitely losing at Purdue

 

[Skeeter]

It's Idaho's home stadium. C'mon man.

 

[DeadMan]

Shit, I’m agreeing with Maurice Clarett and CJ. I don’t like this. At all!

 

[pavel]

I feel like this could be a situation where the POVERTY PROGRAMS like first down U would bitch about not having the money to implement it

 

[bruin]

son: is oregon vs usc still on a 6 day hold for tv?

 

[OU11]

lmao wat

 

[adchester]

Seems well adjusted

He had tears in his eyes. Then he did the Wakanda pose and said “#Nixkanda Forever!” -- which is the kind of pop culture cross-over that I can celebrate.
