Klatt on Cowherd: Actually covering OSU/RU stealing UM's signs

He's by far my favorite, fair, unbiased DUDE in all of sports media.

Petitti waffling? Petitti is in over his head. Way over his head.

A true statesman that speaks for the people.

I think it reads good

Selling Michigan jerseys is a good start! 

Remember when Hoke apologized for a stake in the ground at MSU?

We’ve come a long way, baby!

"You don't get to defame and drag the Michigan name in the dirt with zero consequences."

As an alum - and parent of current Michigan students - there are a few things that I place very high value in.  Ethics, integrity, and honesty are certain characteristics which are very important to me.

When I was a student (in the College of Engineering) - I wrote the following on every bluebook exam I took - "I have neither given nor received aid on this exam" - which was followed with my signature.

If Harbaugh says "I am not aware of this", I take him at his word.

Actually this is a very relevant point..UM as a brand has taken a major hit by being directly associated w words like "stealing", "cheating",  "scandal" etc.

There's a lot of value $$ that can be lost by such a smear campaign. 

Hopefully Michigan could get injunctive relief if Petitti suspends Harbaugh. Perhaps I'm in the minority but I'd like to see Pettiti act this week.  I believe that the relationship between Michigan and the B1G may be irreversibly broken and I'd like the opportunity to go after some of the holier than thou teams looking to hang Michigan and Harbaugh. A suit would provide that opportunity and the ball would be in Michigan's court to call off the dogs and settle or continue on through a trial.  

With a suit filed, the discovery process would begin and every email, text, letter, video, conversation,what have you would become fair game through interrogatories and depositions. While the suit would be a civil matter, lying under oath is perjury and that is criminal.  I suspect the can of worms that would be opened would create problems for many programs, particularly the fuckers in Columbus.  I'd love to see them squirm and perhaps be responsible for monetary damages should such damages be established.

As mad as I am, and I'm more than plenty pissed, I feel terrible for the players who through no fault of their own, have to deal with this garbage which tarnishes what might be the best team in program history.

Thank you for letting me rant.

Where did you see or hear this rumor?

Is that a rumor or just a out-loud-statement of basic logic? The rumor, or reality, that I'd like to hear is whether or not Fox Sports is exploring legal action (alongside Michigan and Harbaugh) against the B1G for actual monetary damages if they pursue some idiotic punishment like a head coach suspension or conference title ineligibility. Petitti's lack of backbone might cost Fox tens-of-millions of dollars.

Money talks. Michigan gets the eyeballs, and that was before all of this sh!t hit the fan. Now that it has, there will be even more folks watching. This could be Fox's highest rating Big Noon kickoff, that surpassing last year's showdown in C'Bus, and Michigan won that game.

Per Rittenberg (twitter), Michigan has sent their response

Radio said Michigan could seek an emergency injunction if the BigTen drops the news Friday night.

Yes, getting kind of late here if they (Big 10) pull the trigger. (And commit suicide).

Clowns and Chicago are a bad mix. 

Grand Prize Game to determine number of games suspended. 

Most of them follow Valenti’s lead…if he says jump they say “how high?” Wojo & Jansen are the only sane ones there. 

I almost never listen to 97.1 but Karsch & Anderson did have Dan Wetzel (who wrote a pretty favorable article to Michigan yesterday) on today.
