Reminds me of a scene in Walker Texas Ranger with Chuck Norris. A biker dude was yelling at his gang to be strong. Said “You gotta be tough like a tomato! They grow up in junk yards with no one taking care of them”
Years ago I dug up the same milkweed three times, and even poisoned the soil. The bitch kept returning. Eventually I placed a wire fence around it so it could live in peace. I even watered it occasionally to show my admiration. Tomatoes growing in a junk yard don’t impress me.
I went to the Ohio U/Miami of Ohio game Saturday. Sitting behind the OU bench, the team had two kids put up a black background for the two signal-callers. At first, I thought it was to make sure that there was a consistent background so the players could see the signals better. But at halftime, the Miami staff ran onto the field and across it to join the team for halftime. I then realized that the Miami coaching staff was behind me in the press box.
See the word "then" in my first response. If the game occur they count.
There's so much wrong here I don't even know where to start but let's try...
I think the cheating started in 2021. Gattis is a shitty OC and their offense became good out of nowhere.
Right--he wasn't at Michican last year as you said
Was off by one year in my summary but substantively correct in the post I made on a football message board where I rely on my memory and don't double or triple check what I posted. Here is another summary to make it clearer for you.
I was 100% wrong about Gattis being head coach at Miami. I apologize for the mistake. Misinterpreted the video and just scanned the linked video.
That's fine. It happens. I just wanted that clarified. I'm 100% on board with criticizing Gattis. Misinformation bothers me is all
if it was Maryland, Illinois or Rutgers it wouldn't even be a story--people would just be laughing that they're cheating and still can't win.
You may be right. The ‘warned’ team did say they didn’t see anything improper during their game.

bad reference to Pete Rose. He wasn't suspended for cheating. He was suspended for betting on pro baseball games with inside information.Opinion: Jim Harbaugh, Michigan Deserve College Football’s Death Penalty - Sports Illustrated Ohio State Buckeyes News, Analysis and More
I don’t believe Harbaugh should be allowed to continue leading the Michigan Wolverines.

A comment on Josh Gattis and 2021. The reason why Gattis left Michigan after 2020 and winning the award is he was angry that he could not run "speed in space". Harbaugh implemented the retro power run scheme instead. Gattis was opposed to this. It tells you how pointless some rewards are. Gattis won it following the dictates of his boss. If you watch the 2nd half of the UM<>OSU game there is really not much transparency. It was four possessions of running right at the opponent. The changeup was running off tackle.
Well they went from good to elite and the only difference I can see is the sign stealing. Even their recruiting rankings haven't really changed at all. In 2016 and 2017 they were #4 but most or all of those players have graduated. Since then their best recruiting year was #9 in 2022. Harbaugh didn't suddenly learn to coach in his 11th year in college.
If you want to prove or disprove this, it is easy to use analytics. Score plays, especially plays in the first half and ask the question if UM had advantage in formation because UM was supposedly aware of the play call. I have seen no evidence pointing to that. I give the example in another thread which was the UM<>OSU 2022 game. OSU scored on their first two drives and was on the way to a third score when Day made a strange 4th down play. If what you say is true, the best time to leverage it at the beginning of the game. My opinion of watching that game was the inexplicable play calling of the OSU staff. I call it 4th and 4 disease. If OSU had run what they did against Georgia, they probably would have beaten Michigan. Yet Day refused to run Stroud, refused to run on and short, and insisted on cover0 everywhere on the field. Its okay to bend but not break and go to cover 0 in FG range.
