a lot of smoke about the BIG10 meeting today. personally, I don't think the commissioner will do anything until NCAA findings are done BUT let's play devil's advocate here. IF the big10 did decide to take action and prevent Michigan from playing in the BIG10 championship after an OSU win (assuming we win ofc) does that disqualify UM from CFP contention by some kind of rule? or could the CFP still view Michigan as "one of the 4 best teams in the country" even without a conference championship like OSU last season? just something i have been pondering with recent reports

Then I’ll start to worry about anything. When you have a “safe space” to say anything you want to your mouthpiece in the media without repercussions, you can say anything you want and, in turn, the story can be spun in any direction that you want it to. There’s no accountability for it, how convenient.

“Vast majority” my a** from this latest ESPN story.

Let’s hear those who think Michigan should be punished, let’s see them publicly decry what Michigan has been doing instead of running to their local ESPN reporter to complain and vent. Those who have said it’s no big deal are loud and those who have said they should be punished are from talking heads who have never played a down of football in their lives.

For those wondering how I feel about this, the Big Ten would be absolutely insane to act before the NCAA does. Absolutely nuts. I’m going to sleep well tonight knowing that Michigan has a plan after meeting with the NCAA last week, because that’s what matters and not the opinion of someone who doesn’t have the testicular fortitude to say the things he’s saying in front of a microphone.

You can call opponents out of conference, you can call reporters to complain, but it’s not serious enough to give your thoughts publicly? Interesting.

Just curious if this august group of fans think that this first (new) RANKING out is any reflection of the ‘sign stealing’ controversy? i.e., are folks punishing us for the allegedly unethical sign stealing?
I personally don’t know. I get that our schedule has been about as soft as OSU’s OL, but….what do you think?
Geez, wasn’t it Finebaum just TWO weeks ago that shot us to number one in his opinion? A few guys had us up to number ONE. And now….dismissed to number three and OSU (the apparent darling of the U.S.A.) elevated to number one…..again, okay, schedule….

Great Coach.

Why? It seems a majority who post regularly have accepted Michigan is guilty. It bugs me because it is Ryan Day, the PI firm(s) hired in concert with the NCAA to run Harbaugh out of football.

Why? It is simply common sense.

Harbaugh threatens Day, OSU and the NCAA.

Day & OSU is threatened because of how they've been totally dominated physically the last two years. This Michigan team has the physical dominance to humiliate OSU and Day more so than the last two years.

The NCAA is threatened because Harbaugh has been pushing revenue sharing for the college athletes.

Anyone that doesn't understand how this will most assuredly affect the NCAA financial is not thinking logically.

This whole SiGNGATE BS is a distraction from the real issue, which is James Joseph Harbaugh, the best coach in CFB and the NFL, period, bar none

Consider these facts which is the real issue.

Go Blue!

Michigan LB commit Jeremiah Beasley and 2025 top QB target Bryce Underwood are helping lead Belleville on what they hope to be a run to the state title.

Caught up with them to discuss their development as players, their thoughts on Michigan, and more:

All of this moral indignation is complete BS. Coaches try to obtain competitive advantages all the time. Again I’m not saying Michigan didn’t commit a rules violation because we still don’t know what the violations, if any, will be. But to argue this is the holy grail of violations is comical.

...from one of the Regents which I truly appreciate. I decided to not attack the Regents but made my feelings clear about retaining Coach Harbaugh

"Thanks for your note. I believe Coach Harbaugh has done a great job as our football coach and I am working on getting his contract extension completed as soon as possible".

Go Blue!

At least it's something positive!

This could be the strangest incident ever. Does anybody on this board “really” know what’s happening with this investigation?
I’ve got zero idea what’s the truth and what’s not. I guess it’s like everything else in the media these days.

I don’t know what to believe. But if we are guilty, I’d be shocked and think we should be held accountable. And likely the end of this magical run.

So bizarre.

will forever use this as a club against Michigan.
They will never let it go even if no additional evidence is presented.
Just accept it and move on. This will be an argument used against Michigan for all time.

The media especially the local slap di..will be trying to crucify us for the rest of the year. Who cares. Once Harbaugh signs this extension they can all go pound sand. It's ridiculous. Michigan has not even served with any NOA and these ball bags are already talking about the death penalty. A local station here in Detroit says we are scum but their school wants Urban Meyer......hypocrisy at its finest.

England is so sad. This Petgraves guy that hit Johnson should be charged with manslaughter at a minimum. That was an intentional kick! Also, Petgraves has a history of cheap shots and penalties. I'm not posting the video of the tragedy. I'm still bothered by watching that. Prayers to his family, teammates, and friends!

JJ McCarthy on third and long (7+ yards) so far this season: 19/20 for 339 yards and 4 TD All 19 completions have resulted in a first down or touchdown.

My good news is the contract is coming. This may be the best BOSS move I have seen the University make in my lifetime. Santa Ono is clearly the right man at the right time. I love that Michigan is finally finding the balls to tell the NCAA, BIG 10, and OSU to pound sand. Go Blue!

I think this is a watershed moment as to how Michigan will deal with the NCAA in the future.

Our pumpkin patch at church sold 25K worth of pumpkins this year. Because we exceeded 25K, our revenue share jumped from 30 something to 40%. Every penny goes to our children's Awana program. I don't really want to brag, but I will. My daughter-in-law runs the children's ministry at our church and is mainly responsible for the patch's success. I'm very proud of her.

It's a great day to be a Michigan Wolverine.
What's your good news?!
Go Blue!

of Connor Stallions anywhere. AI can take your photo and place you in the international Space Station for that matter.

I am beginning to believe that these some of these photos are AI with the intent and purpose to FLUP with OSU & the NCAA.

Now that is something I would in fact do.

This is so hilarious.

All this over a photo, yet not one person has acknowledged he was on the CMU sideline!
People are so damned gullible.

Mmm... Only a Photo shows someone supposed to be Stalions was on the CMU sideline at Moo U?

If Michigan were to get the choice which location would you expect they would choose ? i saw where Kirby Smart said his fan base would favor California

The funny part is he knows exactly who Connor Stallions is, you can say his name lol

Story is getting weird.

With the Raiders moving on from their disastrous operation and Tom Brady in ownership, I fully expect all the same "journalists" to pivot and fuel that narrative moving forward. Josh, any insider thoughts on this even being entertained by JH?
