Mazi Smith making headlines for all the wrong reasons

Nope, it is absolutely just a coincidence. Nothing to see here.

"court delays happen all the time!" seems to be the common cry, either than or attacking the messenger and claiming they are on a "CRUSADE TO SMEAR MAZI!" fucking hilarious from a fan base that constantly plays the choir boy and acts like Michigan can never do no wrong.

It may be true that court delays are common. BUT this is a fucking hilariously oddly specific convenient court delay.

It's a bad look either way. Special treatment for Michigan football players.

How is it special treatment? People keep saying this without evidence to suggest this is abnormal?

You might be able to suggest the DA connected to the University might have special treatment, but now you're suggesting the entire system is altering this, including the courts? That's not how that works.

And I still don't understand how releasing this two days before the B10 championship game was BETTER for Michigan than the day before Indiana?

Michigan football player in trouble in Ann Arbor and the court date is conveniently moved until after the CFP. Come on man lol, it's blatantly obvious.

No one should ever claim that Michigan football players are "held to a higher standard!' ever again. But of course they will continue to do so.

No, the court date already happened (he plead down to a misdemeanor). His sentencing was bumped, thats it. And he's almost certainly just going to get probation. So I ask again, why would probation change his playoff status in any way? Given the timeline of all of this taking place, ALL of it's going to be at or around certain things happening in the season no matter when it actually occurs.

No it wouldn't. But like I said, it blatantly shows special treatment for Michigan football players in Ann Arbor.

No wonder they are always able to so quickly sweep things under the rug and continue their choir boy charade.

Meh. It sounds like what he did wasn’t really that serious.


Replace UM with Alabama, Florida, FSU, OHST, Texas, LSU, Clemson, OU, etc. and there’s a good chance the charges would’ve been dropped already.

You keep saying that without evidence. This isn't a giant conspiracy where all the courts are magically helping Jim Harbaugh.

It wasn't. It's even less serious than we originally thought. The gun wasn't even loaded as we originally thought, the charge was because the ammunition was "accessible" to the gun; IE within reach.

Michigan fans would be calling for removal from the team or at minimum suspended indefinitely if it were a Ohio State player with the same charges.

But Like I said, they have a fake choir boy image to maintain, so they pretty much act like Mazi is the victim and that anyone who wants him to be punished at all "JUST IS TRYING TO RUIN A YOUNG MANS LIFE!"

It's joke.

But that's just because we want maximum destruction of your program, not because our opinion in the matter would be a valid assessment of the situation or fair punishment.

He was carrying a legal gun, unloaded, with ammunition "within reach" -- it's so close to not being illegal that I really don't give a crap about it. The difference between it being legal or not was how far back the ammunition was stored in the car and/or the gun being in a case. He'll rightfully get probation, and it doesn't matter when that punishment gets handed down it still wouldn't change the opinion that he shouldn't be suspended. Make him run some laps.

After delaying it two months and after the Ohio State game to charge him.

Because charging him right before the B10 title game is a lot less impactful than before 4-8 Indiana? The worst times to charge him during the season would have been before Ohio State and before the B10 title game. So this argument simply doesn't hold up to me.

Zero suspension at all. I can think of multiple instances where Ohio State players were suspended for much less, and a big stink was still made about it.

This get's quietly swept under the rug though so Michigan can continue it's high and mighty charade.

Dude, you were playing Purdue in the championship game. Purdue. It’s not like they were even a threat.
 
Just go back to 2019 and their (Michigan fans) righteous indignation about Chase Young not being punished enough for taking a loan from someone (that he paid back before the story about it even came out) to buy his girlfriend a rose bowl ticket.

Michigan State under Dantonio literally played a kid basically straight out of an actual jail sentence without penalty.
