Isaiah Hole: Ryan Day has "No Known Connection" but there are links
I know this was repeated in other conversations and threads but there is more coming that will be some known connections with Ryan Day...
Other Notes:
Steward Mandel is slowly moving away from the mob side....
No ESPN reporting...
More to come...

Brent Zdebski was the osu staffer who sent the leprechaun emoji in a venmo exchange right? Figured we hadn't seen the last of him.
November 7th, 2023 at 6:18 PM ^
You know it is a college football scandal simply because a man named Brent Zdebski figures into it somewhere.
November 7th, 2023 at 6:20 PM ^
Hopefully Dick Johnson gets the leak again.
November 7th, 2023 at 6:23 PM ^
Why does it hurt when I pee?
November 7th, 2023 at 6:19 PM ^
Yes, along with Sam McGrath. I've been wondering why those names haven't been mentioned since towards the start of this whole circus. The venmo transactions between those two looked exactly like the ones involving Stalions (which sucknuts wanted to cancel our entire football program over). Mr. Zdebski also appeared to have wiped his Venmo account shortly after his name had been dropped before. It really makes those able to think, think!
November 7th, 2023 at 6:55 PM ^
There is no way a moron like Stalions came up with the idea to hire people to videotape the sidelines. I'll bet the sign stealers talk and the idea came from some other team (OSU?).

They have become cable news, they only care about one side and ignore (or don't look for) anything positive on the other side.

November 7th, 2023 at 7:21 PM ^
I never got the purpose of using stuff like "sh*tty" everyone knows exactly what you mean, so you have effectively sworn. If you're trying to avoid swearing, come up with something different for the "s" like "shoddy."

I've been on other boards that censor the word for you, or won't let you post if the word is in there. I'm sorry my clearly purposefully bad, innocuous joke rubbed you in such a wrong way.
November 7th, 2023 at 6:20 PM ^
Rumors are the company is headquartered in Manchester, NH and the founder went to the same high school as a certain coach with a vested interest. Is that a "known connection" like a family member? Who knows.
November 7th, 2023 at 6:23 PM ^
I do not know but the link/connection to Day with Decoding Gate that NCAA stated "did not see a known connection" seem like it will be revealed in the coming days...
Again, no wonder Day can't refute that he is not involved when reporter directly asked.. Really, no comment?.
November 7th, 2023 at 6:23 PM ^
Known Connections And Dipshit Flunkies
November 7th, 2023 at 6:25 PM ^
I found the connection:
Something was done that only a douchebag would do -----> Who is a known douchebag? ------> Ryan Day
Boom.

With all the Michigan alumni in the media one would think we have the influence to give serious pushback.
November 7th, 2023 at 6:36 PM ^
And then you look at the article alum Nicole Auerbach just posted with a quote from an a anonymous sign stealer saying what Ohio State and Rutgers did is fine. Michigan is deflecting. Ridiculous
November 7th, 2023 at 6:55 PM ^
Does she at least ask "how?" Or just let it slide? Let me guess...
November 7th, 2023 at 6:58 PM ^
What they basically did was advance scout. Purdue used their buddies from Ohio St and Rutgers to scout Michigan in person during the season. Same thing Stallions did. Only difference is Harbaugh didn’t know, and Day, Schiano, and Brohm all knew. It makes their offense even worse.
November 7th, 2023 at 11:17 PM ^
To be completely fair, we don't know if the HCs knew, do we?
November 8th, 2023 at 12:36 AM ^
I agree, these other sign stealers are on the sidelines getting and interpreting our signs during a game and shared what they learned with the next team that played us. By sharing they are acting as agents for the schools they share with.
November 7th, 2023 at 6:42 PM ^
Do you think petitti is pulling his hair out?
like: you fucking assholes spent 90 min yelling at me to suspend Harbaugh forever because of the worst sportsmanship in the history of the world and you’re all doing the same shit? Come on.
November 7th, 2023 at 7:00 PM ^
You don’t understand the situation. We’re not doing what Michigan is doing. We’re banding together to screw Michigan over. You see - we’re giving each other information that we found - and, this enables us all to compete more effectively against them.
At Michigan, it was just one guy that went off the reservation to do something - we’re working together - demonstrating sportsmanship and teamwork - even though we’re from different teams. We value sportsmanship so much, in fact, that we give the information we’ve gathered to any team we think could possibly defeat Michigan if they had an edge.
November 7th, 2023 at 8:04 PM ^
Heh...heh...heh! :)
November 7th, 2023 at 7:39 PM ^
He's too dumb to even understand that.
November 7th, 2023 at 8:27 PM ^
That was the part where he should have said: "Are you all sure you want to do this? Are you sure all of your own houses are impeccably clean before I attempt to take down a Big Ten member? Because I may be an outsider but I've heard some stuff about some of you."
But he flubbed that opportunity and now here he is.
November 7th, 2023 at 6:53 PM ^
They are out of their minds if they think this won’t end in the cfb apocalypse

Here's a name no one has brought up - Greg Mattison. He left us to go to OSU. I wonder what information he shared. Wasn't he the D-line coach when Don Brown was the DC?
November 7th, 2023 at 7:32 PM ^
If Don Brown didn't change anything after he left, that's on us.
November 7th, 2023 at 7:33 PM ^
I thought about it and why we got killed when he was did a Benedict Arnold in 2019 and ended Don Brown more or less in 2021.. BUT this is post Don Brown where Greg had more or less retired and might not have the deep knowledge..
But Greg Mattison would not be surprising but not as effective in terms of duration.
November 7th, 2023 at 7:44 PM ^
Mattison and Joe Bolden were mentioned on Reddit earlier today
November 7th, 2023 at 7:08 PM ^
I'm hoping this lack of new leaks coming out from our end is because the B1G is coming to their senses.
While other teams colluding to have our signs certainly takes away the 'competitive advantage' angle, the smear campaign has been executed and we are still way behind in public opinion. I'm really hoping this isn't all we have at our disposal.
November 7th, 2023 at 7:22 PM ^
Wasn't today's leak the three schools? And the details of their Michigan's signs document?
November 7th, 2023 at 7:40 PM ^
Yeah I just don't think that really moves the needle much. Evidence that schools colluded against us was the leak yesterday- showing 0 competitive advantage existed between what CS did and what other teams do.
Today we get the teams ID'd.
Tmrw- as Hole alluded to- we get names of staffers?
I guess I'm just trying to see how that changes anything. Now if you tell me they also had minions who recorded other teams- ok.
I have to think Michigan has more than what we've seen. It could be that like I said above, maybe the B1G realized they were in over their head on this one. Just hard to imagine them backing off now with the ridiculous posturing they decided to do early on.
November 7th, 2023 at 7:50 PM ^
We also got two names. At this point, something at the level of leaking info about stolen practice footage would move the needle
November 7th, 2023 at 8:49 PM ^
You very well might be right that the conference is backing off. I think UM is being pretty deliberate in what it is choosing to share. The leaks so far are designed to show that Jim had no knowledge or connection to signgate, that sign stealing is so commonplace that any idea of a competitive advantage/player safety argument is BS, and that other teams are colluding against us with their own advanced scouting (completely undercutting the "sportsmanship" part of this. Today I think it was about demonstrating that OSU is behind it, just a shot across the bow. Each part is tailored to fit those four points. Leaking more things, going nuclear, will be what they do if this escalates. I bet tomorrow is the names of the staffers (Brent Zdebski, Jordan Huxtable, maybe Sam McGrath), and maybe some unsavory details they share over text. Then we wait and see what the conference does.
November 7th, 2023 at 8:49 PM ^
Public opinion's irrelevant right now; what matters is the opinion of an as-yet-unnamed judge. What's gone public the last two days makes it easier to argue selective enforcement; not only have other conference programs engaged in very similar activities, it was public knowledge before the conference took action.
November 7th, 2023 at 7:13 PM ^
I want to believe.....
