Maurice Clarett to record Michigan’s signals vs. Purdue

The Ohio State flameout expressed his intentions on Twitter:

I’m going to the Michigan game next week and doing recon on their signs. Posting my findings on social media for all opponents to see. Give them a taste of their own Ponzi scheme.

Who among the members of the Vast Network plan to return the favor when OSU visits Piscataway next Saturday (and for the rest of their schedule, for that matter)?

Hensons Mobile…

I feel like people constantly want to point out that the incorrect use of "literally" and the invention of the fake word "irregardless" all become legitimate simply because of common usage. So, after a couple more tweets from OSU slappys that repeat Mo's misuse, and suddenly his use of ponzi scheme will be acceptable.

This article about his arrest is wild:

Clarett hid one semi-automatic handgun under his legs in the driver's seat and had an AK-47-type assault rifle on the passenger seat, police said. They said they found two other semi-automatic handguns, including one in a holster in a backpack... When police tried to shock Clarett, they couldn't because of the vest and used pepper spray. Police say he wove in and out of lanes, did a U-turn on a freeway and refused to leave the SUV after a spike stick flattened its tires...It took several officers to handcuff him, and he kicked the doors of a transport vehicle as he was being taken to the city's police headquarters, Woods said.

But this made me LOL:

"Clarett had planned to play for the Youngstown-based Mahoning Valley Hitmen, one of five teams in the Eastern Indoor Football League."

I guess Clarett was packing as part of his off-season conditioning to play for the Hitmen.

"Hitmen coach and owner Jim Terry said he spoke with Clarett by cell phone early Wednesday about upcoming tryouts and there was no hint anything was wrong.

The arrest will not affect Clarett's status with the team, Terry said.

"We gave him a chance and now we'll wait to see what happens," he said. "I've seen far worse situations than this."

Good lord, it's not a ponzi scheme.  I mean, at least get your crimes correct.  This isn't UM giving away signs to some teams now by tricking other teams to give them their own signs with a promise of better signs in the future.

Honestly I hope this catches on. Bring sign stealing into the sunlight. More random people should film sidelines and upload to public spaces like Twitter or YouTube.

That is what I have been saying. There is no secret signals, they are open for everyone to see. And anyone can upload clips to social media. Baseball signals between catcher and pitcher are fundamentally different.

I for one, enjoy watching college football a whole hell of a lot less now that blocking and tackling, coaching and development, recruiting, the weather ect. have been revealed to be completely irrelevant to the outcomes of games. Everything hinges on signals. Boring sport.

The guy whose entire high school and college transcript is made up? Awesome. This only shows how stupid this NCAA rule is, there's no way the NCAA can take this sort of thing seriously, everyone is showing how stupid and unenforceable this rule is and why they should have gotten rid of it long ago.

Ugh, so many people think ponzi scheme means "anything bad."  It's a fairly specific form of financial fraud, it's not a catch all for any type of cheating or lying.

A guy living in a 100% glass house is throwing stones. He's got quite the self awareness issues.

 

You can't make this stuff up.

Good. Bring this out into the light - everyone is going to do it (if they weren’t already…) - and NCAA is going to be forced to amend the rule with minimal consequences for M
