With the recent news, it’s time to do the funniest thing.

By the way, I watched Red Dawn the other day when I realized your screen name..... WOLVERINES! Ok, I get it now. I know I'm kinda slow, but cool on you, dude.
November 16th, 2023 at 4:04 PM ^
OSU won. They set out to submarine this team and program and did it. This hampers Michigan greatly in that game in 2 weeks. Can Michigan still win? Yes. Is the odds better now? No. IF OSU beats Michigan than their entire plan worked. Even if they lose, it still shows the big ten is in their back pocket and they will just dig deeper.
November 16th, 2023 at 4:13 PM ^
The suspension is utter horseshit, and OSU is clearly behind this and should never be forgiven. That entire program needs to be nuked from orbit in every way imaginable.
For what it's worth though, this news has not moved any betting lines that I can find thus far. Still 5.5 point favorites in the OSU game, still best odds to win it all. Clearly the oddsmakers didn't care about Stalions (or the "21 point advantage" crocodile tears), nor do they think Day can outcoach Sherrone.
November 16th, 2023 at 4:23 PM ^
Will Sherrone be the coach or will it rotate like earlier in the year?
November 16th, 2023 at 5:08 PM ^
Sherrone the rest of the way. Games are real now no fucking around.
November 16th, 2023 at 5:18 PM ^
I’m not sure it was fucking around. Sherrone was already a very busy man on game day, giving the head coach duties to Hart or Jaybaugh might let Sherrone oversee the offense with the laser-focus needed to beat the Buckeyes.
November 16th, 2023 at 5:19 PM ^
Sherrone gets to prove (again) he's a way better OC than Gattis
November 16th, 2023 at 4:13 PM ^
Fuck that. Winning on the field is the only thing that matters. And no one knows that better than Ohio State.
November 16th, 2023 at 4:47 PM ^
Should set up amplifiers outside the Buckeyes hotel room next Friday night, and blast the michigan fight song all night. Let's play dirty!! Let's play in the mud! Send cheap hookers to their rooms at 2am
November 16th, 2023 at 4:50 PM ^
I'm on it. Which hotel?
November 16th, 2023 at 5:22 PM ^
Wait ... are you offering to bring amplifiers? Or the other thing.
(if the latter, username etc etc)
November 16th, 2023 at 4:58 PM ^
Might have to accidentally pull some fire alarms too
November 16th, 2023 at 5:14 PM ^
Hmmm. Maybe it wasn't a coincidence there was no running water in the team hotel in 1980 and '82.
November 16th, 2023 at 6:16 PM ^
They're from Columbus. Something tells me they aren't expecting lobster.
November 16th, 2023 at 4:14 PM ^
it only submarine's this team if the team lets it submarine them. This team won without it's headcoach on less than 24hrs notice in a hostile environment by completely bludgeoning the #1 ranked rushing defense.
November 16th, 2023 at 4:23 PM ^
To be fair, that was against Frames Janklin, as much as I don't respect ol third base, he is not as bad as Frames, and wont make the same 2 point mistakes as he does.
November 16th, 2023 at 4:27 PM ^
That's a coach that gave OSU everything they could handle in Columbus, one ticky tack holding call away from being in a very very tight game. We smoked them without passing the ball in their own house and with the most media hysteria I've ever seen in sports swirling for two weeks and our head coach in the hotel.
November 16th, 2023 at 5:10 PM ^
Franklin's whole fatal flow is that he can't beat Michigan and OSU. Day is one of the best coaches in the nations, but Jim is better.
November 16th, 2023 at 4:20 PM ^
I disagree.
I think this team will be ready to annihilate those pukes from columbus.
November 16th, 2023 at 5:06 PM ^
They didn't win shit, they're like the asshole who cuts you off and swerves to pass people in the right lane. Yeah they're in front for a moment but then they get stuck behind a slow truck and it's their own damn fault.
November 16th, 2023 at 5:08 PM ^
Exactly they won and Michigan lost. It was a zero sum game and OSU got all the benefits. They lost on all fronts and have been embarrassed.
I don't see any positives out of this honestly. Even if they "proved" more staff knew, who cares, it's a minor violation regardless and Michigan has been punished worse than most schools who broke actual rules.
Now Michigan knows the B1G and OSU can do whatever they want and Michigan cannot and will not stop them.
November 16th, 2023 at 9:31 PM ^
This is the exact reason why Michigan needs to leave the BIG. ACC would welcome Michigan as a hero!
November 16th, 2023 at 4:05 PM ^
toby , knock it off.
November 16th, 2023 at 4:10 PM ^
If you want to be scared of the jet sweep 4th and 1 Buckeyes, be my guest.
November 16th, 2023 at 4:05 PM ^
Funniest thing...
November 16th, 2023 at 4:07 PM ^
This is going to be an epic beat down of Maryland and osu
November 16th, 2023 at 4:12 PM ^
Put Jim on the scoreboard during TV timeouts/halftime interviews with 3rd base, Like this guy (without the dystopia).
November 16th, 2023 at 4:21 PM ^
Bet. Harbaugh being out doesn't change the fact that OSU is soft as fuck.
November 16th, 2023 at 4:46 PM ^
But it does make Sherrone Moore a busier man on gameday. Can he handle HC/OC and OL duties? I'm not even excited about HC and OC duties by the same guy.
This makes me more nervous for OSU, and I was already pretty nervous to begin with. They will be ready, unlike last year when they thought 2021 was a fluke and they'd just roll over us like usual.
November 16th, 2023 at 4:56 PM ^
They've been preparing for this game all season long. I'm sure they can figure something out to help lighten the load on Moore. PSU was short notice and in a tough environment. If he can manage the game there, I faith we'll figure it out in 2 weeks.
I honestly don't think this game will be all that close. MHJ will make some plays. We'll get stopped a few times by that defense. But I'm really not afraid of this Buckeye squad at the end of the day. They're basically 2018 Michigan. They'll get exposed on the 25th and Ryan Day will be beheaded by the angry mob when he arrives back in Columbus
November 16th, 2023 at 4:15 PM ^
This team now has 2 games to prove who they are and to give the middle finger to everyone that wished this on them.
Play angry. Go Blue !
November 16th, 2023 at 4:16 PM ^
You know what'd be hilarious? If Michigan didn't lie down and take it in the butt every time somebody waiving a badge came around to check if we changed our oil every 3000 miles, if we kept the tags on the pillow, if we capitalized our proper nouns, if we said please and thank you. That would have me rolling.
November 16th, 2023 at 4:50 PM ^
Agreed, even if new evidence came to light as some are suggesting take it to court anyway. If it comes out that Harbaugh knew and financed the whole thing go in debating the legality of the scouting in the first place. Michigan fans were finally proud that their university wasn’t the one school that takes the NCAA seriously and then when the going gets tough they just cave to the B1G and the whims of a bunch of AD’s and coaches who have an interest in Michigan failing.
This also doesn’t even close the NCAA portion of the investigation. When was the last time a team was disciplined by both their conference and the NCAA for the same violation? I can’t remember that ever happening, and over something so stupid no less.
How do we move forward with the B1G? Anytime somebody isn’t well liked they can be ganged up on and suspended from their position over ticky tack bullshit. Never been more embarrassed for my school just rolling over.
The only way that this makes any modicum of sense is if Harbaugh has informed the school that he won’t be coming back next year and we are using this as a tryout for Sherrone Moore. Even if that is the case they still shouldn’t have gone down without a fight.
November 16th, 2023 at 5:11 PM ^
We should have died on our feet, than live on our knees. It's honestly pathetic what they've done.
November 16th, 2023 at 5:23 PM ^
The last time a program got hit by it's conference and then the NCAA? Sing it with me everyone, Washington in the early 90's!! This is literally the same playbook. It's disappointing and shocking that we are allowing this to play out when that example is already etched in real history and should have a basic and effective counter worked out.
November 16th, 2023 at 5:58 PM ^
There is no new evidence. The old evidence was that if the judge was going to grant a restraint she would have done it last week.
November 16th, 2023 at 4:18 PM ^
The funniest thing is to hire on harbaugh as QB coach for the game.
November 16th, 2023 at 4:33 PM ^
They should probably remove the part of the intro where James Earl Jones says, "we are proud members of the Big Ten Conference," otherwise, Ohio State won't be getting the loudest boos during The Game.
November 16th, 2023 at 4:36 PM ^
We should start an “SEC! SEC!” chant at the game
November 16th, 2023 at 4:41 PM ^
Kinda feels like selling your soul... But, it would be a very loud message.
November 16th, 2023 at 4:41 PM ^
Nothing matters. I don't like this game anymore. I probably won't watch Michigan again. CFB blows.
November 16th, 2023 at 5:27 PM ^
Fuck that. Chlamydia and Eucalyptus leaves must have addled your brain my marsupial friend. Support the players. It means the world to them. Nothing else matters.
Go Blue!
November 16th, 2023 at 5:51 PM ^
This thing has certainly exposed the corruption of CFB, that's for sure. And it further reminds us that the rules that govern college athletics are unevenly applied, the favoritism, and the collusion.
November 16th, 2023 at 4:45 PM ^
The self-imposed suspension at the beginning of the year could turn out to be the greatest thing ever. It already happened we know what to do. We're not going to lose boys!
November 16th, 2023 at 5:17 PM ^
Last week that was the biggest game of Franklin's coaching career and that's doubly so for Day in a week. There's a non-zero chance that if UM wins the conference this year both PSU and OSU have dead men walking running their programs going into next season.
