"...the sign stealer guy" 😂😂😂

He looks super uncomfortable talking about it though, which makese wonder if they were acquainted when McElwain was here. 🤔

Did you see that video where someone figured out who the real shark intercourser was and brought them to meet Jim McElwain? Sort of ruined our fun.
November 1st, 2023 at 10:40 AM ^
It was pretty funny. Wasn't the real shark lover a NYC cop or fireman?
November 1st, 2023 at 12:53 AM ^
McElwain, obviously uncomfortable: "Before we go any further, we obviously are aware of a picture floating around with the, the uh, ........."
What word that starts with the letter S comes next?????
November 1st, 2023 at 1:10 AM ^
I know what happened
November 1st, 2023 at 6:38 AM ^
7 years, 11 months. That's an impressive predatorial hunt for prey.
November 1st, 2023 at 12:34 AM ^
I've had a couple friends go into the Naval nuclear program, and they're definitely a little bit more bold & eccentric than your typical engineer. That said, I wonder if Stalions is going more rogue now that he's got the spotlight? Maybe in an effort to isolate himself more from the UM program and penalties to the coaching staff? Either way, I hope to someday get a firsthand account on the truth behind this whole saga.
November 1st, 2023 at 12:37 AM ^
He wrote the screenplay a couple of years ago. It is rumored that some confused it with a manifesto. A bit more free publicity and he'll turn it over to his agent.
November 1st, 2023 at 12:46 AM ^
At this point any ending wouldn't surprise me. He could disappear completely. He could off himself and frame Ryan Day for murder somehow. He could get canned and then do this stuff with no restrictions and post all his videos to YouTube. We could find out Connor Stalions was actually a fake identity and no birth records actually exist for this person. We're into like Keyser Söze territory now.
November 1st, 2023 at 1:13 AM ^
I think at this point, we can safely conclude that disappearing/disguising/living incognito is not his expertise.
November 1st, 2023 at 12:48 AM ^
Well, I will wait for his book and a book tour to every B1G city.
November 1st, 2023 at 1:23 AM ^
I don't want a premeditated version, give me Stalions LIVE. Fuck it, put him on Oprah!
"You get a sign...you get a sign...and you get a sign!"
November 1st, 2023 at 6:48 AM ^
I thought he went into the Marine Corps after he graduated from USNA.
November 1st, 2023 at 10:08 AM ^
Umm...I was in the Naval Nuclear Power program. Most of us are normal.
November 1st, 2023 at 10:34 AM ^
Post your manifesto. Let us be the judge.
November 1st, 2023 at 12:54 PM ^
I don't update it daily, so Imma need a minute to find it.
November 1st, 2023 at 5:02 PM ^
Sorry, no offense meant MGoStu. No comparing to manifesto-writing Stalions.
November 1st, 2023 at 12:41 AM ^
At this point, what you're gaining isn't even worth the insane amount of risk in walking up and down the sidelines next to every CMU coach and staffer. He must've gotten off on fooling people. Growing out the hair (or wearing a wig) and beard, then shaving before Michigan's game the next day. He had to be enjoying the hustle more than whatever minimal football data he gained by doing it.
November 1st, 2023 at 7:18 AM ^
This is such an insane take that it makes sense for Stalions.
November 1st, 2023 at 8:51 AM ^
Wearing "official" clothing from the team, sneaking on to the sideline when you're employed by another team that hasn't sanctioned this -- that's a pretty bold move and definitely grounds for being fired if you're caught, at the very least. He's a thrill seeker.
November 1st, 2023 at 10:37 AM ^
Perhaps instead of sneaking onto the sideline, he was invited.
And maybe the reason CMU hasn't confirmed nor denied the identity of the person is because they're in panic mode. Does Major Sign Stealer know someone on the CMU staff?
November 1st, 2023 at 8:00 AM ^
The paying people to record games because you think you found loophole is one thing. The espionge stuff on the sideline of CMU is a whole different level. And I agree that would see like someone who enjoys the deception; like feeling like he's a spy. I gotta think that he had an inflated sense of self importance too. Like I'm sure sign stealing does supply some marginal gains, hence why all big programs have one or two people doing it. But the fact that UMs sign stealer has a salary of 55K and before that he was doing it unpaid seems to indicate how valuable UM thinks it is. If good sign de-coding could take a bad team and turn them into playoff teams, those analysts would be making more than the S&C coaches do.
November 1st, 2023 at 12:43 AM ^
He should’ve splurged for a fake scar or an eye patch.
November 1st, 2023 at 12:05 PM ^
Wait..
Your avatar kinda looks like Stalions carrying around a 24 pack of keystones and wearing a wig..
November 1st, 2023 at 12:47 AM ^
Has his MGoBoard account been locked yet? We really need to distance ourselves from him as much as possible.
November 1st, 2023 at 12:50 AM ^
I want his manifesto in the Diary.
November 1st, 2023 at 12:53 AM ^
LOL. He can post a few pages at a time Feb thru August.
November 1st, 2023 at 12:55 AM ^
Does he have an account here? This is the first time I have seen it mentioned.
November 1st, 2023 at 1:07 AM ^

^Someone found that a week or two ago (I think it was Nittany?)
November 1st, 2023 at 1:14 AM ^
Someone on reddit originally found it.
November 1st, 2023 at 1:31 AM ^
Thanks HH (Nittany Fan, too).
I randomly looked in depth at about a half dozen of his posts. It appears that on his first day on the MGoBoard he was already being described by one poster as "annoying" (that poster accused him of apparently posting numerous times in an effort to quickly build up his point total).
Another of his posts was on a thread started by WD but there didn't appear to be any direct interaction between him and WD.
November 1st, 2023 at 7:09 AM ^
there didn't appear to be any direct interaction between him and WD.
The plot thickens.
November 1st, 2023 at 4:59 AM ^
Way to be on top of things! This guys has to be the worst criminal conceivable, we don’t need a paper trail here too.
November 1st, 2023 at 7:58 AM ^
So he not only uses his real name when he buys spying tickets - he uses his real name on MGoBlog?
And he thinks that wearing sunglasses on the CMU sideline will make him totally unrecognizable?
He might be the best superspy ever.
November 1st, 2023 at 10:10 AM ^
November 1st, 2023 at 12:57 AM ^
I'm just imagining him casually starting a thread here (after 9 years of being dormant) ----- "hey, what's up guys, been awhile. Any thoughts on the Purdue game?"
I mean, at this point, anything is possible with this dude.
November 1st, 2023 at 1:10 AM ^
Imagine a UM random thread 5 years from now and he randomly makes a post after 14 years
November 1st, 2023 at 5:11 AM ^
It would be cool if he came on here and posted the whole saga. Anonymously, of course. And if he did, I don't even think I would be surprised. This is absolutely 30 for 30 worthy.
November 1st, 2023 at 11:32 AM ^
Is it possible his full name is Conor Sopwith Stalions? No offense to the poster by the same name, of course.
November 1st, 2023 at 6:14 AM ^
We do occasionally see long dormant accounts pop back up randomly after about as long. So I wouldn't put it past him.
November 1st, 2023 at 7:17 AM ^
He probably came to the conclusion that we're all filthy casuals since our manifestos are at most 200 pages and all we do is check this message board 10 times a day instead of actually doing something to "help" the team.
November 1st, 2023 at 9:36 AM ^
Only 10 times? Those are rookie numbers.
November 1st, 2023 at 10:08 AM ^
How would Stalions access the internet these days? Didn’t the NCAA and university take all of his devices?
/s mostly
November 1st, 2023 at 1:07 AM ^
Every time I see the photo of him (maybe him) on the sidelines at the CMU game I get this song stuck in my head:
November 1st, 2023 at 1:26 AM ^
Stalions is sort of like the anti Where's Waldo... Dude is popping up everywhere.
November 1st, 2023 at 1:35 AM ^
WTF, man?
I was pretty sure this CMU thing would be yet another bullshit non-story that some idiot latched on to and that this guy turned out to be another person entirely who just looks like Stalions. But I guess this too has legs.
November 1st, 2023 at 5:13 AM ^
If it were a current CMU staffer, CMU would have already diffused it, I would think.
November 1st, 2023 at 7:14 AM ^
I agree. But the world seems to have become more stupid with this Conner thing. Just pointing it out.
