Harbaugh tweets about Kirby Smart
If the Georgia coach is implying any intent on our part to break rules, he is barking up the wrong tree.

Kirby, this one is for you....

"barking up the wrong tree" references their mascot.
Here he is "barking up the right tree"

I didn't think Smart even insinuated Harbaugh was breaking rules. I read his comments as acknowledging the legality of Harbaugh's maneuvers but raising questions as to whether they will remain legal in the future.

I didn't read those comments from Smart. Flame away Coach (as if he cared about a random Michigan fan's perspective)!

You’ve gotta think about recruiting rules, how are they going to handle those, is it an advantage, disadvantage? Are they gonna let other coaches come to it, are they gonna hold open practices? Do we all come in there and watch them and scout them? If they’re all open practices why don’t we go and watch them. It’s a Pandora’s box of what it’s going to get into, obviously.
I believe the key phrases are "recruiting rules" and "Pandora's box"

Why would they waste time scouting our players in the first week of their practice together when they probably won't play us and, if they do, it will be in almost a year? The team will be much much different in even a month, let alone the end of the season. Go ahead, coach, scout away. Hope you get a lot of useful info from those practices, and don't waste too much time on it.

the question or is offering an opinion on a subject outside his worldview of understanding. Don't know how Spring practice either home or away constitutes the kind of scrutiny he is contemplating or suggesting. The question was what do you think of Michigan holding Spring Break practice in Florida, and he dives into the deep end of shallow thinking, ironic, for a dumbazz named Smart.

and all of the sudden, I noticed you made an error. Elude means to evade, allude means to refer to. No big deal, its a mute point anyhow. I personally find grammar nazis mind bottling , so even though Im being "that guy" I feel conflicted about it. For all intensive purposes, its much of due about nothing. Normally, I could care less, so I probably should of ignored it.
February 24th, 2016 at 5:06 PM ^
I see what you're doing there. As an "I wish it didn't bother me so damn much" grammar nazi your post made me cringe.
February 24th, 2016 at 5:07 PM ^
moot point.
February 24th, 2016 at 5:24 PM ^
more than that. Intentionally. (Unless he edited the text to change it to "mute point." Then, well, never mind.)
February 24th, 2016 at 7:11 PM ^

Purposeful.
"Mute point" could be a cognitive/attention slip-up, but also requires zero quality proof-reading.
"Intensive purposes" is the common mis-hearing of the actual phrase "intents and purposes", which is the bigger give away, slash, the funniest one, to me.
February 24th, 2016 at 5:07 PM ^
Normally I couldn't care less so I probably shoud have ignored it. #thatguy

Did people not get the obvious "/s" in that post and see the laundry list of grammatical errors?
February 25th, 2016 at 9:52 AM ^
Grammar nazis only understand one thing and it isn't sarcasm.
February 24th, 2016 at 5:50 PM ^
boggling boggles the mind, bottling gets your thougts all bottle up, please be more clear in the future.

It is only whoosh if you watched a fairly crappy comedy. Once upon a time it "whooshed" me until somebody told me the reference. To my ever lasting regret I wasted several minutes of my life watching a crappy scene from a crappy movie so that I could understand the context of the "whoosh."

The SEC folks are giving way too much time, going out of their way, I imagine at the prompting of another SEC AD or coach, "hey, it's your turn," that its clear to me they want this light to stay where its pointed for one very specific reason. Have no idea what it is yet because they are like all good magicians and realize the necessity for the head turn in order to make the trick work. There is something brewing down there in Dixie they aren't willing to share just yet, and possibly to the extent, they never want it unearthed. But the importance and time they are placing on what is a relative "non issue" and based on their history, makes me react when anyone goes out of their way to keep you from looking at something they don't want you to see, up to and including drawing your attention to things you, nor they, have absolutely no interest in. If Denmark were in the SEC, that phrase would definitely apply here, but substitute one of the SEC schools for Denmark and chances are pretty damn good you will hit on their actual reason.

For the record, I think you should reread it. Several times, if necessary.

Holy shit. He's not even trying to hide who he's talking about. This is just a simple Spring Break trip, and it's turned into straight up war.
February 24th, 2016 at 4:17 PM ^
This is gonna be unpopular, but this isn't the best look. He looks a little petty by tweeting constantly about what others are saying. I think he should take a break. He's above this.
Also, I read what Kirby said. He's really not accusing Harbaugh of anything. He's actually one of the only guys in the NCAA machine that hasn't been a total douche about this whole thing.
February 24th, 2016 at 4:24 PM ^
February 24th, 2016 at 4:25 PM ^
I'd prefer he go on a lengthy twitter rant about why everyone is hypocritical and why this is a good thing and then end it. Responding to individual responses by the south doesn't have the same oomph
February 24th, 2016 at 4:29 PM ^
Actually, I kind of like the fact that he has the balls to call out people by name. I do think he read too much into Smart's comments, but I don't really care.

that 1 tweet from Kirby, but how do you know what Kirby's accusing Harbaugh of? There may be behind the scenes communication between coaches, the rumor mill, or Kirby may be behing Sankey's comments.
This isn't just about 1 comment from Kirby.
February 24th, 2016 at 4:48 PM ^
I'm not referencing any tweets. I'm referencing Kirby's remarks at a local Macon, GA event. That's what this whole thing is about, not some imaginary behind-the-scenes friction.
This is 100% about one comment (or string of comments during an interview) from Kirby. That's why this seems over-sensitive and petty.
Coach needs to stop tweeting at every single perceived slight. We're better than that.
