Pete Thamel: No indication of timetable on B1G’s decision

Fuck that chode

Pete Thamel is a dork

The Big Ten has themselves backed in a corner now

If they wanna suspend Jim, 0% the networks stand for him being suspended for OSU and a theoretical Big Ten championship or CFP, so it seems like their '2 game window' is either you suspend him today or you are out of time. The sabre rattling may have Pettiti second guessing just how quickly he wants to act

Pete is fairly high on my list of people I want to fight, not because I necessarily think I'd win, I just want to fight him. 

Gotta love the cheekiness of referring to the response as "lengthy". I'd say "comprehensive" is more accurate adjective.

next time I run into Thamel, I will tell him that he sucks

My sources tell me that Pete Finebaum and Paul Thamel allegedly suck Ryan Day's balls every day ending in 'Y'.

Why don’t you just post something from Yoder while you’re at it? Thamel should be banned media on this board. 

Could be argued this is newsworthy enough to post, but just copy/paste text. Don't post the link and drive clicks.

I would not even mind Michigan blowing this thing up, releasing everything they have, file every lawsuit they they can against anyone, and leaving the Big Ten and becoming independent like ND or going to the SEC.  

Maybe USC, UCLA, Wash, Oregon see this train wreck and don't come.  Maybe they join the SEC.

Then the Big Ten will just be another ACC.  Weak.

wouldn't the team be getting ready to hit the road any minute now?

Seriously a paid unusual blowhard ASS!!!

No news and it only benefits Thames to circulate. Suggest mods delete as he should be MgoBan.

Ole petey boy is now using the word "allegedly". 

Pete who?

"Lengthy written responses," Pete? Don't we know it's like 20 pages combined between UM and Harbaugh's lawyer?

Pinhead Pete at it again. 

I really don’t think this is to game the TRO process (which by the way we should stop thinking is going to be a slam dunk for us).  The Ockham’s razor answer is that he’s stupid, he got out over his skis and painted himself into a corner and now he has no good options and genuinely doesn’t know whether to hammer us or back down.

also yes, thamel is the biggest hack in the national media, but he’s the one who posted this and it’s news adjacent so stop being mean to op.

Now it is 'alleged' illegal signal stealing.  A bit different than his previous stance of guilty until proven innocent.

Hoping they don't suspend him for 2 games AFTER psu. 

They're probably waiting to see if we beat PSU...if we do, then the suspension will be warranted so he misses the osu game. If we don't, then they will "finally see the light" on all the bullshit. 

Fortunately we have the conference offices bugged and Michigan is following the proceedings closely...

PETITTI: The job ahead is difficult. It requires courage and dedication. It requires faith. The Michigan program has existed for over a century.
HARBAUGH: Watch his mouth.
PETITTI: If we fulfill our own greatness, that will all be ended. Working together
MINTER: Coach, the speech follows no logical pattern.
HARBAUGH: Random sentences strung together.
PETITTI: Will at times be difficult.
MILLWARD: He looks drugged, Jim. Almost in a cataleptic state.
PETITTI: To reach our goal, And we will reach that goal.
(Wild applause.)

Doing some wikipedia hacking of Pete's page; join me!

Here is my current subtle edit:

The irreperable Harm this and other JERKS like him have already done is substantial and like Petitti they should all be sued and punitive damages be assesed

"Source"

I don't have an update so I'll say "source" to sound informative because I've already shown my ass in public.

What an absolute turd. Not you, Thameltoe. 

Since they know they have a losing hand with regard to the alleged violation, the most they can hope for is to keep the uncertainty out there.  Which is exactly what they are doing.  They need to pretend that they still think this is serious, when everyone knows it is not.

When is Pete’s review from the board of journalistic integrity due? 

the lengthy written responses from both Michigan and Jim Harbaugh.

Lengthy? Isn't it like 15-20 total pages between the two?

Tony Petitti: You mean I have to read? Whhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaa!!!! :(

Another tremendous contribution of journalism from someone who isn't worth reading or paying attention to.

No need to link this dipshit's tweets.  He has zero credibility.  

Hopefully Michigan is still denying espn the request for tickets to the ohio game.

Those bastards will wait until 11:59 PM Friday to announce Harbaugh's suspension.. I hope they can find a judge early Saturday morning to issue a stay on this suspension.

If they try to wait till tomorrow night then they are corrupt and deliberately skirting due process and trying to prevent any legal discourse before the game. It will fail but that will FOR SURE be the end of petitti, he may already be done - you’re gonna piss off the one money maker to appease the moochers who contribute nothing but filling the body bags of your money maker? Wow. Whoever is really in charge is gonna snatch that idiot out of there. 

it's now being reported that any decision is being punted to next week at the earliest.
