More Michigan Cheating

lol, Penn State had 0 chance.
Yea, I wonder why….

I'm not nervous that a law firm with unknown motivations is making claims about what they suspect. Even at the heart of those claims, words like "we believe" are used throughout. Not sure I particularly care what they believe. And I'm not sure what they believe to be true amounts to more than a bunch of secondary violations. Michigan's "threat" to the conference was neutralized the moment the B10 let other teams know what was going on. The B10 isn't going to do shit.

There's a reason this attack is taking place during a bye week. There's a reason that every night at 6pm another random source leaks more information. They're digging for clicks and Michigan isn't able to respond to any of it.
Then you're an idiot. (1) your team looks like shit to everyone else ... you have to cheat to win; (2) this has some serious legs and it gets "better" every day. You can't admit it, I get it. But this whole, "it's no big deal" left the barn a long time ago.
 
The reality is this rule was something they considered doing away with 2 years ago because it lacked significant competitive advantage. The Ohio State fans that think Michigan is going to get hammered for this are hilariously stupid and rooted in their hope that it justifies their ass beatings the last two years.

Wait until it comes out that the law firm leaking all this was hired by Ohio State.
Wait until you find out it was hired by your own school ... LOL.

1. The 3rd party investigative firm isn't the one currently investigating michigan - that would be the NCAA. It's irrelevant what the third party "believed", they have evidence and now so does the NCAA.

2. Their "motivation" is irrelevant; all that matters is if their evidence points to violations.

3. If michigan's "threat" to the conference ended some time ago, why were Stalions and his friends still attending games in order to illegally scout and record signs as recent as last weekend? Moreover, why did Stalions purchase two sets of tickets to the Ohio State/Penn State game on opposite sides of the field at the 50 yard line, only to have nobody sit in any of those seats?

MnB and newphone cannot objectively answer these questions. They can only deflect.

The entire fan base knows deep down this is bad, but they are holding out hope that how the info was obtained somehow makes their wrongdoing go away.

That's one of the funnier thoughts I've seen. MGoBlog had a writer post an article screaming for a criminal investigation into michigan's computers getting hacked. I got a hearty chuckle from that one.

There was no hacking here at all. Why would a private firm openly admit to hacking into Michigan's computer network? That would be a death blow to them. The "hacking" and "illegal corporate espionage" claims are completely absurd and hilarious.

A much more realistic and likely scenario from a more sane Michigan fan .

Given how sloppy the rest of Connor's operation was I think its likely that
  1. Stallions setup a server or drive that his 'scouts' could submit videos to
  2. He did not have good security setup on this and it was probably 'anyone with a link can open this'
  3. One of his scouts was contacted by the firm, paid (see Auerbach), and the link was shared
  4. The firm could see the users in the database which included staff and is where WaPo is getting this "maintained and accessed" by Michigan staff verbiage

That is a very rational, likely scenario, however have you considered that during the course of his insanely busy schedule, Ryan Day didn't hire a real-life Ocean's 11 style crew to monitor michigan's coaches and hack michigan's servers and got lucky that there happened to be a shitload of evidence pointing to violations?
 

So have we discussed the allegations that Michigan shared the stolen signs with other teams that were playing other playoff contenders?

This thing is getting worse and thank goodness Auburn has sucked the last 7 years and no one could accuse us of cheating and be taken seriousily!

The best case scenario for us at this point is that we've sold off scouting info to every FBS program.

New business model as you've created a CFB crime syndicate.

lol, the irony of a Georgia fan talking about cheating is not lost on me.

It does make sense that a team who's losing first place votes as the year gradually goes on would be threatened by the better team. If by "gets better" you mean that they repeat the same nonsense every night and you click on the story, then sure. Yes, this secondary violation has some serious legs. And if proven, nothing will continue to happen.

This is hilarious and makes me want Michigan to get away with it
