Isaiah Hole: Hold Steadfast....
This has been the way I have approached it.. As many of us had state that all this does not add up... I commented about his video last night on one thread that teams are trading scouting information, etc.. I believe one of had posted a comment about that too...
At the end, his perception is what I thought.. There could be some consequence but not close to what the "media" are wanting and demanding it to be..

I don't get it. If there is positive news, why not spill it and create positive news for the team we all seem to love Hole. SMH

Because having sources means revealing information when they're okay with it and any potential leaks could be bad for Michigan. Presumably some of his sources are inside the program. That's how journalism works if he ever wants to get the inside scoop again in the future.

I know what you mean and I generally would say the same thing. It is frustrating when nobody seems to follow the protocols of journalism. Anyway, we will see how this goes and hope we come out OK..
October 26th, 2023 at 10:05 PM ^
Yep. That's why it's even more annoying that Michigan can't leak anything and defend themselves, but the NCAA can do whatever it wants. It's a bitch move.

So this is all the work of North Korea collaborating with Stalions, the Marine Intel supply counterintel Navy SEAL, trying to keep Wayne Gretzky from winning the "best music video award" for his hit song "Thriller"?
I feel so much better after hearing "I Know something but I can't tell you, keep listening to my show so I can eventually spill the beans"..... Isaiah is usually pretty good but this seemed a little poor.

So Isaiah Hole said something 85% of posters here have already said. Terrific insight I hadn't thought of!
At least now I know what Kyle Rittenhouse would look like with a big bushy beard.

I listened to the whole thing. It was a lot of words used to simply say "relax, I have sources and information that lead me to believe that this thing is being way overblown and the program will survive mostly in tact". The podcast could've been about 2 minutes long, but then again how can he give advertiser shout outs if it's only 2 minutes?
October 27th, 2023 at 12:26 AM ^
Isaiah, shilling for betting $10 and you are going to make $250 on a sports gambling site. This guy has -100 credibility.

What can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence. Michigan administration needs to follow this motto. If they turn their back on Harbaugh and the program I’m done watching and following the entire sport.
October 27th, 2023 at 5:22 AM ^
Ono is a best case scenario for UM. But he needs to make sure that Harbaugh gets this contract extension before the season is over. If that means he has to fire Warde to get it done, then no problem. Nothing Warde has done has led to any success on the field. Any of the higher-ups at UM that is worried about their sterling reputation can fuck all the way off. Harbaugh not cooperating with investigators that are investigating bullshit, and maximizing efforts to scout opponents while staying technically within the arcane rules, is exactly what everyone (including their arrogant asses), should expect.
October 27th, 2023 at 6:07 AM ^
Watched the whole thing. I usually love what he has to say but he really didn't say anything for 30 minutes.
October 27th, 2023 at 9:28 AM ^
I tend to give Hole the benefit of the doubt. I do understand he is protecting his sources so I get treading that line carefully. He said in 30 minutes, what could have been said in 5...but so is the world of podcasts, etc.
I do take some solace that he does seem to be sure that there is an objective truth that is largely known at this point and this is moving in michigans way. That overall seems to be the theme and Hole is usually careful about yapping too much (IMO) so I do put some stock in what he is saying.
Go Blue!

just starting to watch the IH video now. thanks for posting this.
saw this comment on another board and figured I'd ask about it here. Anyone know what this is referring to? Is it speculation about Weiss, and somehow tying that to the current allegations?
"so now there is a rumor that a story will come out today that someone from the UM's staff hacked OSU's server and when the OSU football department figured it out they somehow traced it back to UM and thats how this investigation started 10 months ago."

So relieved to see this thread this morning. I couldn't sleep last night wondering how dbrhee was approaching this.
A thread for this? Good lord, tuck into one of the others.
October 27th, 2023 at 10:30 AM ^
Are you Isaiah Hole?
October 27th, 2023 at 12:36 PM ^
Jesus. That was a 30 minute rant where absolutely nothing insightful was shared.
