It had to be a joke this can’t be real
October 27th, 2023 at 1:48 AM ^
I had posted their model for a couple weeks as a point of interest and a way to anchor a discussion, but this stuff is so bad, I'm done with that. Pretty ridiculous.
October 26th, 2023 at 9:28 PM ^
Feel like this is putting the nerds in Yoder ban territory.
Not a reflection on you at all OP. Just feels like we shouldn't give these guys any clicks.
October 26th, 2023 at 9:30 PM ^
No worries at all I just saw this on my timeline and was like was that edible 100 not 10?
October 26th, 2023 at 10:08 PM ^
To be fair, there is a vast gap between yet another random account trying to turn this into an Oliver Stone film and the Yoder ban, inspired by someone who genuinely did harm to the program through his antics and was in fact banned from campus events and repudiated by the athletic department.
Even at that, however, I do agree that these bizarre speculations have already become tiresome. Some of them (I think) are almost too bizarre to be serious, but then some people have been - in earnestness - trying to connect us with anything from giving film to other teams to the eventual rout of Imperial Russia in the Crimean War.
October 26th, 2023 at 10:16 PM ^
We stole the Russian fleets signal flags and gave them to the Japanese at the Battle of Tsushima. True facts.
October 26th, 2023 at 10:32 PM ^
This is the only P5 football fandom that would reference the Battle of Tsushima, and that is why I will never abandon Michigan.
October 26th, 2023 at 10:36 PM ^
Well, I mean, Vanderbilt's mascot is the Commodores... surely they have a few people familiar with the Russo-Japanese war? :)
October 27th, 2023 at 8:06 AM ^
Nah. Vanderbilt's teams are named for a band that nobody under the age of 60 remembers.
October 26th, 2023 at 11:10 PM ^
Tsushima. Wonderful pull. On a football site no less.
October 27th, 2023 at 12:55 AM ^
It’s also why we are so good at figuring out frames signals
October 27th, 2023 at 6:44 AM ^
There are those that can reference it, and then the rest of us gets it without needing Wikipedia... What a bunch of friggen' nerds!
Oh, wait...
October 27th, 2023 at 8:06 AM ^
Didn't Bacon write a book about that with copious quotes from Stalions and his military background?
October 26th, 2023 at 10:34 PM ^
The two most important rules of life:
- Never get involved in a land war with Asia
- Never go in against a Harbaugh when football is on the line.
October 27th, 2023 at 6:19 AM ^
"Stolen signs"
You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
October 27th, 2023 at 9:58 AM ^
My bigger thing isn't this dumb-ass conspiracy theory stuff but the fact their models are just shitty. I guess don't "ban" them but we don't need to keep posting their stuff like it's worthwhile analysis.
October 26th, 2023 at 9:28 PM ^
Man, to make a hooker tear her ACL, you’re really getting your $100 worth!
October 26th, 2023 at 9:39 PM ^
Craig James Tore 5 Hooker ACLs
October 26th, 2023 at 9:40 PM ^
Allegedly.
October 26th, 2023 at 9:41 PM ^
CJT5HACL
October 26th, 2023 at 9:52 PM ^
Never forget CJK5H. Allegedly.
October 26th, 2023 at 11:55 PM ^
You know it's a vast CIA-level operation when its capital allocation was less than I owe on a 5 year old fuel efficient car.
October 26th, 2023 at 9:28 PM ^
CFB Nerds, I’d like you to meet Valenti, Yoder, Ken, Lonnie, Mohamet, Jugdish, Sidney, and Clayton.
October 26th, 2023 at 11:14 PM ^
Are you suggesting Michigan is Greg Marmalard?
October 26th, 2023 at 9:29 PM ^
That account has become completely worthless, if it wasn't already, during this whole "sign stealing" witch hunt.
October 26th, 2023 at 11:31 PM ^
They also make shitty analysis videos
October 26th, 2023 at 9:29 PM ^
Freep time for these jokers.
October 26th, 2023 at 9:32 PM ^
So the Network is so Vast that now we're scouting and stealing the signs of teams we're not even playing, as a favor to guys that Harbaugh coached with over a decade ago?
October 26th, 2023 at 9:34 PM ^
Harbaugh has broken the entire college football world
October 26th, 2023 at 9:54 PM ^
In fairness, he did that with his satellite camps.
October 26th, 2023 at 9:35 PM ^
This might be a good time to buy stock in Reynolds Wrap
October 26th, 2023 at 9:37 PM ^
I think one of them is married to or otherwise related to a Sparty which may explain all the little brother style thinking.
October 27th, 2023 at 7:16 AM ^
Ahhhh!!! There it is. I couldn’t make sense of how wildly ridiculous this theory was. Now it makes sense that at least one has LBS. Your reporting is as good or better than most of these analysts. +1
October 26th, 2023 at 9:40 PM ^
These clowns need to join the yoders/valentis/sabin rainers of the world and be perma-banned. Anyone making posts magnifying these incel douchebags need to be bolivia’d
October 26th, 2023 at 9:43 PM ^
The amount of people mindlessly buying this garbage is absurd.
Yes, Michigan punched in the cheat code for the level 420 Charizard and that's the only reason they've ever won a game.
It's totally not possible that South Carolina's former five-star recruit at QB played to his potential against a team that was all offense and no defense. It was all MICHIGAN'S doing.
I've tried to ignore all this nonsense on the internet and still get pinged with crap like HOLY SHIT CONNOR STALIONS WAS ON TV!!!! CHEATING!!!!
I'm SO over it. Just beat the bastards remaining on the schedule, hoist the trophy, and give everyone the finger.
October 26th, 2023 at 9:43 PM ^
Stop giving these rotten cuntflaps attention!
October 26th, 2023 at 9:44 PM ^
Besides the skewed logic, use of English is decidedly not nerd quality.
October 26th, 2023 at 10:46 PM ^
The commas. Dear Lord, the commas.
October 27th, 2023 at 8:09 AM ^
Show some respect. That's Ron English, or Coach English, to you.
October 26th, 2023 at 9:46 PM ^
Lmao fuck these dudes
October 26th, 2023 at 9:46 PM ^
So Michigan is directly responsible for Hendon Hooker tearing his ACL, because Harbaugh for some reason wanted to help out against a team Michigan was not playing against, for a coach he hadn’t worked with in over a decade?
So we’re all wondering how South Carolina played so above their heads against Tennessee, but no one gives a shit that they did the same thing on the road at Clemson the following week?
I’m truly terrified for my children getting their first exposure to the absolute cancer that is social media.
October 26th, 2023 at 11:33 PM ^
Drought, flooding tornados, hurricanes and pestilence. Jim Harbaugh is inevitable.
October 26th, 2023 at 9:48 PM ^
Did S. Carolina also get the Clemson plays since they upset the Tigers as well? I mean, Clemson was a CFP contender as well.
C'mon man, stuff the Nerds in a locker and let's move on.
October 26th, 2023 at 9:49 PM ^
Is there a list of games Stalions bought tickets for? I haven't seen it, but it could exist. If so, does it include Tennessee?
October 27th, 2023 at 12:28 AM ^
Don’t even entertain this garbage
October 27th, 2023 at 8:22 AM ^
I'm just trying to understand where it's coming from, or what the theory is. It looks like he did buy tickets for a Tennessee game, from what I've seen. But that was based on the possibility of seeing them in the CFP. If he's doing it because we might see them in the CFP, it makes no sense to give the signs away and "ruin" the chance to play the team whose signs we have.
October 26th, 2023 at 9:50 PM ^
Let's take this to its logical conclusion: Brad Holmes paid Jim Harbaugh to give Tennessee's signals to South Carolina so Hooker would tear his ACL and allow the Lions to draft him in the third round. Genius!
October 26th, 2023 at 10:02 PM ^
But where does Bigfoot fit into this? There's still that glaring loose end.
October 26th, 2023 at 10:48 PM ^
Check the schedule. Bigfoot has Oregon and Washington games to film.
