Angelique says no decision on TRO today
November 11th, 2023 at 10:34 AM ^
An asshole clock is correct twice a day.
November 11th, 2023 at 11:09 AM ^
I was one of the bad guys who pointed out the fact that a court might not think this situation justified the unusual remedy of a TRO.
That’s not being contrary. It’s telling the simple truth.
Fans have hopes and get pissed. It’s understandable. They love the team. I do, too. Go Blue, and stay in the ass-kicking business!
November 11th, 2023 at 10:30 AM ^
How the fuck could this be possible? The whole reason for TRO's is to prevent this shit?
November 11th, 2023 at 10:31 AM ^
I believe the hearing is scheduled for the day prior to the MD game.
November 11th, 2023 at 10:54 AM ^
Clearly that was decided after the delay no? Its n the reason for the delay.
I could be wrong. This is a political decision.
Michigan definitely thought they'd have it granted
November 11th, 2023 at 10:32 AM ^
I believe the hearing is scheduled for the day prior to the MD game.
November 11th, 2023 at 10:32 AM ^
A "no ruling" is actually a de facto denial of the motion, meaning the judge determined no irreparable harm to the plaintiffs by not ruling by the deadline.
November 11th, 2023 at 10:32 AM ^
No. A hearing is scheduled. But a TRO is always a long shot.
November 11th, 2023 at 10:36 AM ^
Understand the motion for the injunction still needs to be heard, I meant the TRO
November 11th, 2023 at 10:38 AM ^
The ex parte motion was in fact denied if there wasn’t a grant of emergency relief.
November 11th, 2023 at 10:38 AM ^
If the basis for the decision was a lack of irreparable harm then wow, that’s wrong.
I could understand if the judge found an insufficient likelihood of success on the merits. But the irreparable harm prong should have been obvious.
November 11th, 2023 at 10:41 AM ^
November 11th, 2023 at 10:44 AM ^
Ed Shuttlesworth made what is probably the salient point here: “irreparable harm” would be limited solely to the money rather than anything to do with what happens on the field. Without knowing yet what the judge ruled, he may well have been right.
November 11th, 2023 at 11:27 AM ^
Ed Shuttlesworth was wrong AF on that. The harm to Harbaugh is not getting to coach—it doesn’t matter if he’s still getting paid.
But judges get things wrong all the time. Maybe Ed is her law clerk.
November 11th, 2023 at 10:53 AM ^
Yea that surprises me as well. How can the judge not see the harm of keeping the head coach away during the biggest game of the season. Meanwhile there is no equal harm to the conference. I’m really surprised this wasn’t granted just to keep the status quo until a fulller hearing can take place.
November 11th, 2023 at 11:30 AM ^
Exactly. Even if the TRO were to then be lifted, JH could still have served a three-game suspension this season thereafter. Haven’t seen the ruling but it seems very questionable.
November 11th, 2023 at 10:32 AM ^
The timing of this suspension is way too suspicious. Could have been done during the week so the coaches could have prepared the players. This is intentional sabotage.
November 11th, 2023 at 10:32 AM ^
So the big tends sleazy ass decision to do this last second works. What garbage.
November 11th, 2023 at 10:32 AM ^
Go Blue!! Win The Game
November 11th, 2023 at 10:32 AM ^
The definition of a ratfucking.
November 11th, 2023 at 10:33 AM ^
So I was thinking about this last night, after the revelation that a decision today would potentially get us through the OSU game... it really wouldn't. The court would require a hearing within 14 days from the day the ruling was issued. So, it might work in our favor if the judge waited until Monday to rule on the TRO. Though, my understanding was that a TRO like this has to be ruled on before the stated deadline...
Can any MGoLawyers clarify for me?
November 11th, 2023 at 10:35 AM ^
In person court date on the 16th (I am not a lawyer but have seen this posted all over)
November 11th, 2023 at 11:12 AM ^
Yes I know that, but that doesn't answer my question.
November 11th, 2023 at 10:36 AM ^
Judge can always set an earlier date, it's a maximum of 14 days, and there's rules on extending if the date falls on a weekend.
November 11th, 2023 at 10:38 AM ^
Not really. In strict legal terms, this is a clusterfuck.
At this point I think the safe assumption is that Harbaugh won’t be coaching the rest of the regular season.
The shittiest of all things in that this is not going to satisfy anybody who is going after Michigan. I think the next “call” from the mob will be to keep them out of the title game (if applicable). And right now I have no reason to think the BIG would not do that.
November 11th, 2023 at 10:41 AM ^
Overreact much?
November 11th, 2023 at 10:44 AM ^
On what basis would you consider this an overreaction? The BIG just shattered every norm and process in the book to screw Michigan
Why would you not expect this.
November 11th, 2023 at 11:07 AM ^
This is not an overreaction. That’s what’s going to happen. They won’t let him coach again this year.
November 11th, 2023 at 10:46 AM ^
The mob won't stop until there's a death penalty and Harbaugh banned from college and pro football. Yes it's insane but it's also what they want.
November 11th, 2023 at 10:49 AM ^
They can do that but if we beat OSU and are 12-0 then we don’t get kept out of the CFP. B1G would look dumb.
November 11th, 2023 at 10:33 AM ^
This is all such horseshit.
November 11th, 2023 at 10:33 AM ^
I gotta know, was the timing suspicious?
November 11th, 2023 at 10:37 AM ^
Suspension came while the team traveled? if not carried out earlier in the week, it could have been carried out after the game today.
November 11th, 2023 at 10:57 AM ^
It was like a f'n mob hit.
November 11th, 2023 at 10:34 AM ^
But I was guaranteed it would be ruled on by mgoboard. Fucking idiots.
November 11th, 2023 at 10:43 AM ^
I'll eat crow here: I'm shocked by this decision, while a TRO is never a slam dunk, UM had a pretty good case in my opinion.
Then again had you understood and responded rationally and respectfully you wouldn't have gotten negged to oblivion yesterday, but instead you were an ass.
November 11th, 2023 at 10:54 AM ^
Fuck you
November 11th, 2023 at 11:12 AM ^
My point exactly. Get lost.
November 11th, 2023 at 11:57 AM ^
Take a few days off, "swn".
November 11th, 2023 at 10:34 AM ^
This reminds me of the "money cannon" related to nil. Pretty sure Georgia, Alabama, Ohio, Notre Dame would all have made it happen.
This tro only served to give the team hope that didn't come through. Seems foolish to have put that in players minds.
Would have been better to leave the rallying cry in place and let that inspire them. Way too much uncertainty in such a critical moment
Hope I'm wrong but this is a lot to weigh on their minds in addition to the game
November 11th, 2023 at 10:39 AM ^
You have absolutely no clue what you’re talking about.
November 11th, 2023 at 10:34 AM ^
A: H.H. Holmes, The Unabomber and Carol Kuhnkle.
Q: Who are the three worst Michigan alums of all time?
November 11th, 2023 at 10:40 AM ^
Eh, Papa Doc Duvalier says hi.
November 11th, 2023 at 10:45 AM ^
If you wanna swap him with the Unabomber that's fine with me.
November 11th, 2023 at 10:43 AM ^
My roommate who ate my entire fucking birthday cake in one day while i was in class was pretty bad.
November 11th, 2023 at 11:11 AM ^
Baxter, you are an entire wheel of cheese? I’m not even mad.
November 11th, 2023 at 10:34 AM ^
Maybe it’s a UM mind fuck…maybe like I said last night…Da bomb would be to keep TRO unannounced until JH comes running out of the tunnel tomorrow at noon with a copy of TRO in hand and with news crew all around, gives it to Ref and says “Bet”.
November 11th, 2023 at 10:35 AM ^
Unfortunate, but having seen this team all season I am 100% confident they are prepared for this and will play a great game. It may provide some extra motivation, in fact.
Bet.
November 11th, 2023 at 10:35 AM ^
Extremely irritating that the Big Ten is going to get away with its pathetic stunt of running out the clock and suspending Harbaugh after we had flown to State College.
We'll just have to pound PSU into submission.
November 11th, 2023 at 10:35 AM ^
They should hire Stalions to be acting head coach today.
