You guys have this all wrong, it was all a set up.  Iowa is going to be given all of Michigan's signs and will thus easily defeat Michigan tomorrow.  Signs are the only element of a physical, borderline violent, game played between people of vastly different size and athleticism that matters to the outcome.  Tony P will stand triumphant on the stage as a result, obviously, as he hands the trophy to Kirk Ferentz.

I have other plans for this Saturday and will not be at the game, but I hope the crowd stays for Tony's presentation and voices their displeasure accordingly... and with gusto.

Jim & the staff/players are the face of the program and they must maintain their composure.  Let the crowd do the rest.

The situation Pettiti created has earned more than a few minutes worth of booing.

I suppose that with the money being what it is, and the probable difficulty of leaving the Big Ten's media deal, we won't be going anywhere else any time soon.

It's too bad. If justice is a goal, taking our game TV revenue off the table would be exactly what the conference deserves.

Oh well.

I really wonder how the coaches are talking to the team about this possibility. It’s one level of awkwardness between Harbaugh and Pettiti, but also he’ll be on stage with dozens of warriors whose leader he screwed over.

I'm hearing rumors that Tony, "the weasel", Petitti might not even show up to the game tomorrow night. Apparently he doesn't want to be a distraction to UM which is laughable in my opinion, especially considering when he handed down the suspension in the first place.

Gonna be an awakening as to the hornets nest Petitti swatted.  Im not going to accuse the man of being stupid, I’ll just used the adage that when it comes to thinking Petitti just isn’t very lucky.

Nah, if he has to hand over the trophy he'll just say what a great game it was, what a great conference it is and how it's going to be even better, hardly even acknowledging Harbaugh or Michigan. 
For all we know in his mind after the NCAA investigation, vacating or forfeiting wins is still a possibility, so he's likely to hand over the trophy with an undercurrent of, "Here you go,,,for now."
