Spygate Update from Hole
Posted another video. https://youtu.be/WsMPt1CyQno?si=XNLWz7lgksZ_5LdK
Here are the highlights if you don't want to listen to the 30 minute video.
Isaiah knows who the leaker is. The person who is the whistle blower/leaker is someone some of us may know but most fans won't know about him.
Confirms Matt Weiss thing is definitely 100% unrelated. It is bad but it's not as bad as child porn or anything like that.
Confirms Michigan did not ever use or see OSU practice footage per source inside Schembechler Hall. It's completely false. Doesn't mean Weiss didn't hack the footage and have it on his computer (he doesn't know) but it was never disseminated to the rest of the team or used or seen by any coaches.
He would bet his money Stapleton has something to do with all of this, but can't confirm. He's not focused on that part of the investigation. Stapleton isn't that close to the football team and isn't the leaker though.
This thing is an orchestrated political hit job /psy-op. Expected 2 more bad news things to drop soon or at some point.
His sources are very very good, but can't tell us everything due to not wanting to burn his sources and get them in trouble during an active investigation. WaPo piece is important and is what to focus on. Insinuates they're probably working with OSU people. There's a connection there. Calls it a Michigan fan fever dream
Focus on who hired the private investigation firm and who is paying them. Piece together the motives. WaPo reported that the investigation firm had a document from Michigan that no one currently at Michigan handed over.

Isaiah Hole - your man (under) ground.
October 27th, 2023 at 9:03 PM ^
Can I skip to the last episode and see the reveal?
October 27th, 2023 at 9:05 PM ^
No. It's a slow burn. You won't appreciate the finale unless you tune in to every episode and experience the character development.
October 27th, 2023 at 9:22 PM ^
He said it's a slow burn precisely because it's a psy op. He can't out anything during investigation, and those who are doing so are trickling it out so as to cause maximum possible damage.
He recorded his video an hour too early. One from the two bits that he thought might drop came as soon as he had posted
October 27th, 2023 at 9:26 PM ^
I hope that when all comes to light, Jim will be so livid that he stays until he's 90, and OSU never wins a game the whole rest of that time.
October 27th, 2023 at 9:41 PM ^
It seems the Bear has been sufficiently poked
October 28th, 2023 at 2:09 PM ^
They tried too many times to annoy him out of the job that they just wound up pissing him off into staying forever lol I hope this what happens
99 year old Jim Harbaugh, fueled by the anger of a 40 year old bs investigation, leads Michigan to their 43rd consecutive Big Ten Championship
October 27th, 2023 at 10:35 PM ^
Now now…. Let’s give Hole *SOME* credit for this excellent update…..
What you call “an hour too early”, others in the world of journalism might call, “a perfectly timed scoop.”
October 28th, 2023 at 8:06 AM ^
This is crap. If there is actual proof that it’s an orchestrated pys op you can drop that, it has nothing to do with the ncaa investigation itself. Dropping that proof would be the most effective defense you could do for Michigan and has nothing to do with the actual facts of the investigation.
The only reason to not drop that info is because there isn’t actual proof, just speculation.
October 28th, 2023 at 8:22 AM ^
That is one possibility. The other possibility is that the source is not ready to use the proof and he does not want to burn the source. He said that multiple times in the video. I did not neg you by the way.
October 28th, 2023 at 8:49 AM ^
He is waiting to reveal the proof until the day of Ryan Day's daughter's wedding. Then, on that sweetest day, will his ruin become manifest
October 28th, 2023 at 8:58 AM ^
I hear you. I think UM could have revealed to someone off the record and let them report. It will help with the bad publicity.
October 28th, 2023 at 1:50 PM ^
I thought he is soft! How does he have kids?
October 28th, 2023 at 8:39 PM ^
He birthed them from his uterus through his vagina.
October 27th, 2023 at 9:51 PM ^
Goddamn smoke monster.
October 27th, 2023 at 9:53 PM ^
Comment of week.
October 27th, 2023 at 9:04 PM ^
Sue everyone. Let discovery sort the details.
October 27th, 2023 at 9:14 PM ^
...i guess i'd prefer discovery to lifetime or E! but still...
October 27th, 2023 at 9:06 PM ^
Interesting. If the Weiss stuff is completely false how delusional do OSU fans look to not only make that shit up but have it spread like wildfire through the internet?
October 27th, 2023 at 9:18 PM ^
...as opposed to how they looked...before?
October 27th, 2023 at 9:46 PM ^
Somehow I think they've actually managed to make themselves look even worse.
October 27th, 2023 at 9:51 PM ^
If you needed proof that we broke their psyche the last 2 years, this has been your week
October 28th, 2023 at 8:20 AM ^
They're turning into what our fanbase was - only worse - in the mid 2000s. Only social media wasn't around at the time to immortalize it.
October 28th, 2023 at 7:10 AM ^
Written like a true apostle!
October 27th, 2023 at 9:43 PM ^
They're not exactly renowned for their intelligence or rationality.
October 28th, 2023 at 1:04 PM ^
how delusional do OSU fans look to not only make that shit up but have it spread like wildfire through the internet?
I mean if you really think about it, everything that has been released so far is still hearsay and speculation. We don't actually know what is and wasn't true from what has been reported from the media so far. Everyone from all sides is pretty satisfied throwing shit at the wall from their "sources" and seeing what sticks
October 27th, 2023 at 9:08 PM ^
So are Ohio State and Michigan State fans going to have an absolute meltdown at the conclusion of this?
October 27th, 2023 at 9:21 PM ^
Can only hope for this in the case of BuckeyeElite or whoever the fuck OSU mouthbreather who was on our board earlier today.
October 27th, 2023 at 9:34 PM ^
I completely missed that.
October 27th, 2023 at 9:21 PM ^
Chernobyl x 1,000
October 27th, 2023 at 10:32 PM ^
You know, we nearly had Chernobyl x 1,000....at Chernobyl. Had the core of Reactor #4 burned through the bottom of the chamber and gotten into what remained of the bubbler pools beneath the floor, the resulting steam explosion probably would have taken a considerable portion of Reactor #3 with it as well and made entire swaths of Eastern Europe uninhabitable potentially.
THAT will still be nothing compared to a potential meltdown of both Michigan State and Ohio State boards simultaneously, if such a scenario unfolds.
October 27th, 2023 at 10:49 PM ^
Can Columbus and East Lansing become more uninhabitable than they already are?? Not sure anyone would notice a meltdown.
October 28th, 2023 at 1:34 AM ^
East Lansing has a Raisin' Cane's Chicken Finger location. That place can't burn to the ground until another one opens up closer than Toledo.
October 27th, 2023 at 11:01 PM ^
From what I understand that threat was never as likely, nor as severe, as the show Chernobyl indicated.
October 27th, 2023 at 9:24 PM ^
Blegh, if you read your football news just from their outlets, you’d think that this is worse than Sandusky, that everyone associated with the Michigan football program should be in jail, there should be a ten year postseason ban, and that Michigan should be kicked out of the Big Ten with ND invited to take their place.
October 27th, 2023 at 9:26 PM ^
Don't forget the most important thing, that it's literally the ONLY REASON Michigan has been even remotely successful the last three seasons.
October 27th, 2023 at 9:53 PM ^
I love reminding them that it means if they lose this year, they have no excuse. Stalions is gone. Michigan will have an investigator so far up their ass the rest of the year, we're not even gonna shit without approval first.
Penn State and Ohio State better beat us this year or they'll never hear the end of it from me
October 27th, 2023 at 10:03 PM ^
They have no excuse as is
October 27th, 2023 at 10:13 PM ^
.... and they won't. They're gonna get killed, making it look worse (if that's possible for them).
October 27th, 2023 at 10:24 PM ^
Son, they shook...
'cause ain't no such things as halfway crooks
scared to death, scared to look
they shook
October 27th, 2023 at 10:21 PM ^
Ari Wasserman started in on that BS on a podcast at The Athletic and I turned it off.
October 27th, 2023 at 11:14 PM ^
Athletic is no longer my list sites to follow. I am fine with bad news about UM as long as it is substantiated. They have become gossip columnists there.
October 28th, 2023 at 1:05 AM ^
Thank you UMforLife, you just saved me $70 per year that I had forgotten I still pay. Also you gave me a reason to complain to them and justify my cancellation.
October 28th, 2023 at 2:21 PM ^
Same. I like their pro coverage but they employ Pete Thamel and Ari Wasserman. Their Michigan beat writer (Austin Meek) has no connection to the school and his work reflects his surname.
October 28th, 2023 at 4:13 PM ^
Up until this, I thought Meek was fine. However, Stewart Mandel has lost his goddamn mind, as Brian has pointed out on Twitter. Since he’s editor in chief of their football coverage, I don’t see how Meek can contradict him too strenuously since you need a horseshoe up your ass to find a sports journalism job these days.
October 28th, 2023 at 6:28 PM ^
Since they were purchased by the NYT and started offering $2 subscriptions the comments are horrific...
The only advantage is all of the spartie, nitts and buckeye whining is all in one place, they give themselves away.
October 28th, 2023 at 12:43 AM ^
Also the only reason Tennessee didnt win the natl championship, and why Hendon Hooker got hurt.
October 28th, 2023 at 1:32 AM ^
Obviously! The winningest program in College Football history barely won a game before they started cheating!!
/s
October 27th, 2023 at 9:25 PM ^
I was thinking when Michigan gets the not guilty verdict it’s gonna be like OJ trial
October 27th, 2023 at 10:47 PM ^
Yeah but OJ was actually guilty. It's becoming increasingly clear that Stalions acted alone and the coaching staff/program is innocent
