I love how the Michigan PR team is putting out these stories to make this Stallions kid look like a crazed lunatic SuperFan that acted alone. I’m not buying one bit of it and neither should any of you. Screw that program.

Why would they retain this guy then?Nothing says non-crazy better than penning a 500 page manifesto.
Why would they retain this guy then?
I’ll answer…because they will use him like this issue
They would if a trail of his phone texts provided conclusive evidence he communicated with his superiors regarding behavior violating explicit NCAA rulesWould ND fire a low level assistant just for writing a 500 page manifesto?
I'll answer: no, you wouldn't.
You mentioned he was crazy. I asked why they retained him. You then deflect. It wasn’t just the 500 page paper.Would ND fire a low level assistant just for writing a 500 page manifesto?
I'll answer: no, you wouldn't.
Seems you are not appreciating the varying matters of degree here. To suggest that it's standard to steal signals in this way is like suggesting to the officer who pulled you over that every one speeds. Sure, maybe 3, 4, 5 MPH over the speed limit. But this is like going 30 over in a 35. You sure as Hell can expect to be ticketed.I don’t like UM whatsoever but this is a ridiculous “sCaNdaL”.
I’ve listened to and read articles all week discussing the issue with numerous head coaches. I’d say over 90% think this is pretty standard practice and a non story.
If you think UM is beating the Hell out all these teams because of sign stealing, you’re delusional.
In fact reporters have spoken to Coach Day, Franklin, and even Sonny Dykes and everyone of them laughed it off. Day and Dykes both said they know sign stealing is common and they changed their signs the week before the games with UM.
Again, I root against UM near weekly minus OSU and this is simply rubbish.

Ivan your two posts on this are sad and I feel for you. First, he was just an isolated crazy.....Second, ND would have acted the same. But he was not isolated, and the manifesto is just a Michigan made distraction. They paid a guy to cheat. Others steal signs but you can't have a paid guy go to stadiums and film--especially in such an organized manner. Michigan is in deep shit and if they knew people were attending the games (which reimbursements will show they did) are going to suffer immensely. Your next stage of grief will be he acted alone and fooled the whole program. You might as well just skip ahead to grief and acceptance because that's what's coming.They would if a trail of his phone texts provided conclusive evidence he communicated with his superiors regarding behavior violating explicit NCAA rules
Those are the teams that reported it lolI don’t like UM whatsoever but this is a ridiculous “sCaNdaL”.

think you are missing the boat here. It is a more premeditated and organized then trying to steal signs during games or from shared tapesI don’t like UM whatsoever but this is a ridiculous “sCaNdaL”.

Ivan, what are your thoughts on traveling to scout in person and using video/audio to record other teams signals? You keep avoiding those landmines.
I am still up in the air about the girl who shot up a Christian school down south. They need to publish that 'manifesto' so we can read every word.I guess it would depend on what it said. Usually, you don’t need someone’s manifesto to come to the conclusion that they’re not right in the head.
Did they about this “manifesto” prior to all of this?
It’s obvious what happened to anyone being objective. The Michigan coaches absolutely knew what this guy was up to based on what I’ve seen.
Michigan should and will get hit very hard for this. I see now that stalion paid a d3 coach to film other teams sidelines as wellIf Stalions attended those games in person, that is against the rules. Michigan would get hit for that, but it would not be anything major. Buying tickets for someone else is not against the rules. Someone else recording video from the stands is not against the rules.
And it looks like Ryan Day has a role in all of this. Stay tuned...
