B1G Commissioner Toby Petitti to meet with Santa Ono tomorrow
November 2nd, 2023 at 9:56 PM ^
O no! 😂
seriously though! I hope Ono is ready to fight for Harbaugh and these players. i understand the the commish is in no easy spot. Ono hopefully understand the value and dollars Michigan brings to this conference. don’t be afraid to stand your ground. The Acc/Sec might not mind adding a the all time winningest team in college football.
November 2nd, 2023 at 10:17 PM ^
I'm sure the Big 12 would also welcome us with open arms.
November 2nd, 2023 at 11:23 PM ^
I guess I fail to understand why the commish is in a tough spot. Seems pretty easy to tell a bunch of whiny coaches and ADs who don’t actually have any recourse that everything will wait until after the NCAA investigation. What are they gonna do, leave the BIG10 cuz the conference didn’t immediately suspend Michigans coaching staff?
November 2nd, 2023 at 9:56 PM ^
I'd guess Petitti's own people leaked this one.
Doesn't necessarily mean nothing is coming down the pike. But simply meeting with Ono theoretically gets people off Petitti's case for a few days (it sounds like hearing it from multiple people).
November 2nd, 2023 at 10:01 PM ^
People 'leaking' is precisely what put them here in the first place. At this point they are begging to have the heat turned down.
November 2nd, 2023 at 9:57 PM ^
Hopefully, "Toby" lol, gets nothing sort of a polite "F off" and has Harbaugh sign an extension before the end of the day.
November 2nd, 2023 at 9:58 PM ^
Does warde even work here anymore?
November 2nd, 2023 at 10:16 PM ^
Works remotely from Denny's.
mmm...Grand Slam
November 3rd, 2023 at 4:10 AM ^
Dennys food on commercials looks nothing like the slop they serve, just say no.
Also, Warde clearly only utilizes restaurants including “unlimited” “buffet” and “all you care to eat” concepts.
November 2nd, 2023 at 11:19 PM ^
Did he ever?
November 2nd, 2023 at 9:58 PM ^
Tbone meeting the ono-ster
hope someone has weed
November 2nd, 2023 at 11:03 PM ^
Looks like you do
November 3rd, 2023 at 11:08 AM ^
***reads like
November 2nd, 2023 at 9:59 PM ^
Tony going to enquire why we are slow on the contract extension.
November 2nd, 2023 at 10:00 PM ^
Did I miss the notice of allegations and the investigation? I had a meeting earlier today, maybe it all happened then?
November 2nd, 2023 at 10:08 PM ^
All the other kids at the lunch table complained that Jim had two snack packs. Tony won’t stand for it.
November 2nd, 2023 at 10:00 PM ^
Hope he’s coming for Harbaugh’s contract signing ceremony.
November 2nd, 2023 at 10:08 PM ^
Time to pull out the Reverse Ono Card.
November 2nd, 2023 at 10:11 PM ^
This is the one
November 3rd, 2023 at 8:39 AM ^
I feel like maybe you've been sitting on this remark for awhile and waiting for the perfect time to play it.
I want to believe that's true, because you nailed it. (Tips cap).
November 2nd, 2023 at 10:09 PM ^
They gonna throw us in jail before the trial. Before charges are even brought. Pretty neat. 🖕🖕🖕
November 2nd, 2023 at 10:33 PM ^
Pretty standard in the criminal justice system, especially probation revocations. Someone gets picked up on a warrant for an alleged violation, and two months later when the court finally has a hearing on it, the client's usually willing to accept a time served outcome since the government already got their pound of flesh.
November 2nd, 2023 at 10:13 PM ^
Santa Ono: "Tony, my offer is this: nothing. Not even the $40 for our burgers, which I would appreciate if you would put up personally......"
November 2nd, 2023 at 10:54 PM ^
A GF 2 reference. Very nice.
November 2nd, 2023 at 10:13 PM ^
Yea Harbaugh ain’t signing no extension. And I don’t blame him. Down goes UM and up goes MSU w urban leading the charge. This has been a fucking nightmarish 2 weeks
November 2nd, 2023 at 10:17 PM ^
You're getting negged but you ain't wrong.
Where is in absolute fuck is Warde?
November 2nd, 2023 at 10:18 PM ^
Man, every fucking thread you say the same shit over and over again. Do you actually cross the street ever? Calm down dude.
November 2nd, 2023 at 11:10 PM ^
I mean am I wrong? I know I’ve been negative, but everything I’ve said is more than likely to happen with the way everything is shaping up to be.
November 2nd, 2023 at 11:33 PM ^
Yes, you are blatantly wrong, some might even say purposefully.
November 3rd, 2023 at 10:26 AM ^
At minimum, there's no reason to think Urban is going to East Lansing nor any reason to think their crater of a program is going 'up' anytime soon. And yes Jim is still expected to sign an extension so yes you're quite wrong
November 2nd, 2023 at 10:19 PM ^
Urban won’t touch MSU with a 10ft pole
November 2nd, 2023 at 10:39 PM ^
He doesn’t have a 10 foot pole.
November 2nd, 2023 at 10:48 PM ^
Or even if they back up in on him.
November 2nd, 2023 at 10:17 PM ^
Seriously how did we get here? 3 weeks ago we were getting ready to face a lowly IU team with our National Championship level squad.
Now we have the B1G commissioner meeting with our president. All because WolverineDevotee GI Joe wanted to live out his childhood fantasies and would do so at all costs.
November 2nd, 2023 at 10:33 PM ^
No no, people are forgetting the most important part - somebody hired a PI firm to "uncover" the vast, grand cheating scheme which is behind all of Michigan's success, even though the legality of the whole thing is still questionable and the efficacy is dubious based on the NCAA itself. This is the best the PI could find, which is better than probably 95% of programs out there.
If there's any bend to media- or competitor-generated outrage that yields penalties before due process, the whole thing needs to burn to the ground, starting with lawsuits and sending PIs everywhere, including at the media.
November 2nd, 2023 at 10:43 PM ^
Scorched earth policy is indeed the way. Let ‘em feel the burn as their own income streams go up in smoke. While we screwed up by hiring this Clouseau-like fool, 90% of this is being driven by pure envy and a desire for schadenfreude.
November 2nd, 2023 at 11:05 PM ^
Yup, burn everything and salt the fields. Michigan really needs to become the aggressor and start standing up for itself.
November 2nd, 2023 at 11:33 PM ^
Oh crap... what if that is WD...? Lost brother maybe? Yikes.
November 2nd, 2023 at 10:17 PM ^
He is going to talk about who will be his secret Santa.
Seriously, I don't see commissioner coming up sanctions or punishments without proof. Santa seems like a reasonable guy and he will handle it well.
November 2nd, 2023 at 10:19 PM ^
A suspension of 2 games for Harbaugh at most. Shows the whiny schmucks at the other B1G schools that he did "something" but he doesn't destroy Michigan's season and potential conference $$ from a postseason run either. The other schools will be unsatisfied but less angry than they are now, while Michigan will be pissed off, especially the players, but not as enraged as they'd be if there was a worse punishment. I still think it's bullshit if that happens, and Michigan should consider looking for another conference to join if that happens. And the other schools that are whining and snitching can go fuck themselves. I used to root for most B1G teams during non conference games, but never again.
November 2nd, 2023 at 10:28 PM ^
Nothing will be enough punishment to satisfy those other schools to be happy. So why even try suffice them. we are the VILLIANS now! embrace it!
November 2nd, 2023 at 11:07 PM ^
Fuck that. If they want to suspend Harbaugh, tell them to fuck off and see you in court. You want to crack the whip over this?
Air out everyone's dirty laundry, get some pro-Michigan media to spread rumors because you don't need proof or anything, and tell everyone to kiss your ass.
November 2nd, 2023 at 10:23 PM ^
Is there a link to the final findings by the NCAA on their investigation ? There must be a report seeing as we are getting reprimanded tomorrow according to all the true fans on here !!!
November 2nd, 2023 at 10:23 PM ^
Get em Santa!
November 2nd, 2023 at 10:24 PM ^
I hope she means Ono and UM's general counsel.
November 2nd, 2023 at 10:35 PM ^
April Ludgate needs a new schtick.
November 2nd, 2023 at 11:20 PM ^
Look, I get that there is growing sentiment from these folks that something NEEDS to happen but what is the actual (settled) factual predicate that would support suspending JH at this juncture? Maybe I’m putting too much faith in the commissioner but just sort of vaguely gesturing at some facts that, at this point, may not even amount to a rules violation, and then throwing a punishment at JH specifically seems like absurd mob justice. I just don’t see that happening at this point.
Even if they’re going to work from the fact that CS was at games - which he probably was and which would likely be a violation - then how do you take action against Harbaugh specifically without knowing his involvement, if any?
November 2nd, 2023 at 11:31 PM ^
"I'm told..." "Sources report..."
Man this is journalism hell, just put up whatever tweets without any obligation for accuracy or veracity. The rumor mill has taken on a life of its own. Maybe this is all AI driven...?
