Harbaugh sideways with NCAA

YES!
The Tar Heel State may have the banner... but it is a banner that carries mark and stain of shame. Honest Memory never forgets.
True roundball fans know where the real Championship is... The Land of the Prairie where Orange brightly shines and illuminates how to play the Game right.
I've still got my 2005 NCAA champs hat that I snagged before it went to Africa.
More like, "you're fine, nothing ever happens to a select few."
“Sources confirmed to ESPN that Stalions purchased tickets on both sides of the stadium -- across from each bench -- for Ohio State's game with Penn State on Saturday. Michigan plays both teams in upcoming weeks.”
Michigan fans: BUT THOSE TICKETS WERE NOT USED …
Everyone else: That just proves the point that they bought them only to videotape the sidelines and steal signs …

Sources: U-M staffer bought tickets at 11 schools
Suspended Michigan staffer Connor Stalions, who is at the center of the NCAA's sign-stealing probe, purchased tickets in his own name for more than 30 games over the past three years at 11 different Big Ten schools, multiple sources told ESPN.
Seems like a pretty easy case to prove.
Or he is just a college football fan who was able to take off weekends he was supposed to work/or a lot of travel on byes
I can buy Jim didn’t have direct knowledge but someone within the athletic department knew to execute his game day absences

I'll reiterate what I've said in the past: it is inconceivable that a Michigan Man, Men, Women, or Other could possibly have even been remotely in the neighborhood of such moral turpitude. All The Best People have regularly assured me of this throughout my life. Only the ankle-biting swill of the Big Ten (i.e., everyone residing below the Olympus of Ann Arbor) could possibly believe otherwise and such beliefs are, inevitably, a brew of self-loathing, the incandescent shame of irredeemable inadequacy, and consanguine genetic shenanigans among those filthy peasant livestock-congressing reprobates.
Michigan is indisputably The Best College Football Team in America, particularly this week as it vanquished yet another opponent in a dazzling, interrupted string ranked (checks notes) #51 or below in Sagarin this season and as its strength of schedule skyrocketed to #12 in the BigTenFourteen. Nothing save the bitterness of inferior (i.e. all other) programs and impotent rage is to blame for this unspeakable disparagement of Michigan Greatness, a flaccid attempt to prevent the Wolverines from steamrolling their opponents to a national title, akin to a gnat seeking to deflect a windshield hurtling toward it at 70 mph.
I can only hope that those of you having the poor judgement, nay temerity, to believe such scurrilous gossip regarding the People of the Harbaugh drink deeply from the well of sobriety and intellectual purity before you fall further into the moral abyss from which you will inevitably never return.

Beautifully written. I did have to look up "consanguine," I'm embarrassed to admit. I will be using it frequently in the future.
With no way to top this excellent post, I decided to see what ChatGPT thought of it. Here's the response:
It's clear that you're incredibly passionate about the Michigan Wolverines and their football team, and your enthusiasm is palpable. Your unwavering support for the team and your belief in their greatness shines through your words.
It's important to remember that college sports, especially football, often inspire strong emotions and loyalty among fans. While you may have a strong bias towards Michigan, it's essential to appreciate the diverse perspectives and opinions that exist among sports fans. People from different parts of the country have their own beloved teams and narratives that they hold dear.
The diversity of opinions and rivalries is what makes sports so exciting and engaging. It's all part of the fun and spirit of competition. While your post is quite enthusiastic, it's essential to remember that there are many other passionate fans out there who support different teams with just as much conviction. Enjoy the season, celebrate your team's successes, and engage in friendly sportsmanship with fans of other schools, and you'll find that the world of college football is even more enjoyable.

That's it, dammit. A duel at twelve paces at dawn tomorrow. Flintlock pistols of your nomination. I'll notify you of my second in due course.
Some folks live by that famous life creed: If You Ain’t Cheatin’ – You Ain’t Tryin’. And all of us here know the names of the big legacy programs around the Nation that fully endorse and believe and have long-practiced that very Life Creed. From the once-mighty-but-now-shuttered and vacant Michigan industrial plants to the shuttered and vacant textile factories in Carolina and elsewhere. And those once-busy industrial plants are certainly not the only things in those areas that are... vacant. Things like morality and fair play come to mind. The Sounds of Silence ring from the yawning brownfields to the lack of outrage by Michiganders over the strange-goings-on and acts of their beloved State U. football heroes.
If no one catches you... (and if they did, they do nothing about it)... what’s to stop the Cheating? Not ‘Your Cheatin’ Heart’... as the old Country song laments.
Not only this year but EVERY year. But only in the minds of Big Maize & Blue fanatics around the Planet who see the World through a lens fogged with a heavy dose of Blue Delusion and an a-Maize-ing misplaced sense of football entitlement. But when you lose your industrial base you have to replace that with Some-thing. Like Win Any Way You Can Get It?
Honestly, I don’t know why any college football team in America even bothers to take the field against these Ultimate Masters of the Pigskin. For they are surely overmatched and outclassed by the yellows-and-blue hues of all the pretty uniforms and the deafening sounds of 500,000 people who pack the Big Michigan Stadium every home game. And that doesn't even count the additional 200,000 tailgaters.
The State of Michigan Motto is: “If you seek a pleasant peninsula, look about you."
And right under that it reads, “And if you seek good sportsmanship and fair play from our Namesake U. Football team, look SOMEWHERES ELSE!...”

What he said.
Or as Pru really really eloquently summed up by saying, scUM being scum.
what he said.
Aye, a duel you desire, a duel you shalt have!
But as it comes to pass, with you being a Michigan man, I hear a sound at 11 paces, the sound of you turning and firing that wretched flintlock. As the musket ball pierces my back and rips my lungs usunder, I pitch forward, and fall to the earth. But as I fall, in horror I see it: a flag is thrown upon me. “Illegal formation!” Screams the ref. And then I see them, the horrid duo of Stalions and Harbaugh, smirking on the sidelines as I gasp my last dusty breath. Damn you, Fichigan, I sputter. Damn you all to hell.

A master at work. Bravo!
Having previously appropriated your train / Assembly Hall picture, why not continue with a new signature?
Is he really THIS stupid? Deon Sanders comes to Michigan football defense in sign stealing. Knowing your opponent’s plays is inconsequential? And therefore breaking the rules shouldn’t be punished. Cheat on!
The Big Ten will have to choose between prestige and a paycheck when it comes to disciplining Michigan
The NCAA finally has something that will stick against Harbaugh and the Wolverines. But will the Big Ten come down hard on the face of their conference?
deadspin.com
“Major collegiate athletic conferences are like parents, they can’t treat all of their schools/kids the same. Michigan has always been the Big Ten’s favorite son. And in the coming weeks and months, we’re going to find out if the most prestigious, arrogant, important, and wealthiest conference in all of sports is going to put Michigan on “timeout” or tell them to ‘go get a switch.’”

Apparently Stalions is now suspended with pay for scouting those current and future opponents.
