I guess scum and Jim need to fry this fish. Hail to the Victor's need to figure out how to keep teams separated in their one tunnel out house. Obviously the coaches can't keep these modern athletes under control.

There’s now been fights with Michigan State, Penn State, and Ohio State (last year) in the tunnel with Michigan players.

I have no idea who started any of these fights, but there’s 1 constant in all these episodes. Harbaugh might want to look in the mirror before he starts calling others ringleaders.

 

[LandoComando]

Not a Harbaugh fan but blaming him for his players allegedly being assaulted is irrational. Players talk shit--that's reality including Penn State players. If you can't control you're emotions that's another story. Mel Tucker needs to be held accountable not Harbaugh for the actions of the other team.

Why is it funny? What was untrue?
Listen, Harbaugh's a dick and him blaming Franklin, while kind of true, was unnecessary. Coaches need to have control over their teams. Tucker is responsible for what Michigan State players do on the field/tunnel--Harbaugh's not responsible for their actions

What's untrue is that there is one consistent in all these assaults.

It's Michigan.

The only person who can stop this then is Harbaugh

That's honestly ridiculous. It's like accusing the rape victim of bringing in on herself.

The one video I saw showed a Michigan player alone with what looked like 6-10 Sparty players. No security. No coaches. I'm not sure where this exact location was, but the video from the Penn State game had security and multiple coaching staff personnel visible. Not sure how this player got so separated from the rest of his team.

The best bet moving forward is to create another entrance for access to the locker rooms.

Yes and no more Michigan home games until the dangerous situation is resolved.

Hard to believe that according to Jimmah they went over 100 years without an incident, but now they've had problems in the tunnel twice in the last two weeks. Clearly, Franklin is behind this somehow.

Not blaming Harbaugh personally but it’s his team that’s been involved in 3 of these episodes now (in his last 7 home games). Maybe you need to address your team and their part in these episodes rather than blaming others.

Sure--he can address them but at the end of the day those that cross the line are ultimately responsible. Are we saying he shouldn't beat teams as badly so they aren't upset? I mean, I'm joking but also not joking.

Of course those that behave poorly are responsible for their behavior. That obviously goes without saying. However, it’s the coach’s responsibility to set the tone for the behavior of his team. I’d say the exact same about Franklin.

If team A and team B are in a fight I expect both coaches to deal with their own teams. When it keeps happening to one team then you need to start to look at the coach of that team.

This wasn’t a one off. It’s the third tunnel fight in last 7 games at Michigan stadium.

That's fair--Franklin blamed Harbaugh so Harbaugh blamed Franklin. It's not surprising. Franklin shouldn't have said anything about the tunnel or blamed anyone. Should have just said he'd handle it. Harbaugh shouldn't have blamed Franklin. Both handled it wrong.

well, if the rape victim has been raped three times in the same location, it seems as if a little further investigation might be in order

The fact you and others can't comprehend that it isn't all on Michigan is insane.

let's look at this positively, michigan state should suspend anyone in the tunnel at the time for the rest of the season. Might be a little self serving for penn state, but, what the heck, we take all the help we can get.

This really isn’t a Franklin vs Harbaugh issue to me. This is a Michigan vs Ohio State, Michigan vs Penn State, and Michigan vs Michigan State issue for me. The 1 common factor- Michigan.

You're oversimplifying it to deflect any blame on our program
How long as Michigan had that set up? How many incidents have their been?

I’m not trying to deflect any blame from PSU. Hell, if anything I’ve been accused of being too critical on Franklin and PSU.

It’s funny how this wasn’t an issue, (at least from what I’ve heard), until recently. Only really after Michigan has finally started to have some recent success.

Once Michigan finally beat Ohio St last year to win the division it started and has happened now 3 times in the last 7 games…….. against 3 different opponents.

You can blame the OSU, PSU, and MSU players for their involvement in the fights. No problem with that.

However, eventually you have to question why Michigan seems to be involved in all these fights.

Because the coaches of the other teams don't have their players under control when they lose. There's a common factor in all of those other than it being Michigan

The Penn State scuffle was at halftime. So no one had lost. What's the other common factor?

PSU has played and lost under Franklin many times there. Way too many times. I don’t recall any real fights before this year.

In any event, you seem to be intent on trying to blame Ohio State, Penn State, and Michigan State players as ‘sore losers’ while absolving Michigan from instigation.

If Penn State was fighting Ohio State, Michigan, and Michigan State players at the Beav week after week I’d be all over Franklin for his lack of control of his team. I wouldn’t be that focused on the other 3 because the 1 common denominator would be Penn State.

We were dominated in the first half and were frustrated

You wouldn't though
Who involved in the incidents were in the wrong? Michigan or the other teams?

Oh, I absolutely would.

As for the recent fights- as I’ve already said I have no idea who started these fights and each coach should be punishing their own players involved.

 

[Chickenman Testa]

Like Mushmouf, his old team gets to yappin when they have any kind of success.

 

[BudatPSU]

I wonder who the ringleader was this time?

They cannot blame Franklin this week. It must be the tunnel's fault. Tear down the tunnel!

 

[fastlax16]

It was a close game and you act like you were there.

I found this on an OSU board from last year as OSU was headed to the dressing room at half followed by Michigan players yelling and trying to start crap with them. Like you said, there's one common factor in all of these incidents

 

[lazydave841]

Franklin shouldn't have said anything about the tunnel

The tunnel situation is what it is. There's literally nothing wrong with Franklin making a common sense observation that generally everyone, save for Michigan fans, seems to think has a common sense solution(s): separate the teams, build a different location, something besides saying "it's been there for 100 years".

The fact that you are adamant that Michigan has nearly no blame because "all they did was win and dominate and ..." isn't unbiased; its borderline homerish.
