More bad news coming?
Hold me Sopwith and tell me everything will be alright!
Prediction: Folks who have been really unhappy with me in my mentions the last couple of days are going to be really, really unhappy with me by dinner time.

Even if it's nothing, a steady drip of nothing goes further to sully our name. There is fascination, there is antagonism; there will be a drip, drip, drip.
October 24th, 2023 at 4:53 PM ^
Doesn't Givler write for Buckeye Huddle?
If so, then why do I give a shit?
October 24th, 2023 at 5:19 PM ^
Michigan Monday USED to be entertaining, but that's as close as I can get.
October 24th, 2023 at 4:53 PM ^
I vaguely recall reading that one of the reasons Yost Fieldhouse was built was because other teams would rent houses across State Street and spy on our practices from the upper floors over the wall.
October 24th, 2023 at 4:57 PM ^
Yeah, my assumption is that they'll have some image or video of a guy with an iPhone out at the game, as that's been what has been floating around. They've already posted a bunch of information about the students from Stalions' Venmo account, so I doubt this becomes anything more than that.
It won't substantively change the claims already made but I do get a sense that OSU driving this whole investigation may blow up in their faces a bit since it seems pretty well-known they've got guys doing stuff like this.
October 24th, 2023 at 5:01 PM ^
Yeah - if UM isn't mobilizing a counter-intelligence operation at this very moment they are missing an opportunity.
October 24th, 2023 at 5:18 PM ^
It has been interesting to see non-OSU partisans come out (like JJ Watt, Deion Sanders, like Brady Quinn and co. on a podcast, etc.) and say, basically, this isn't something novel or unique to UM and other schools absolutely do it and they're just lucky their guys haven't been caught.
October 24th, 2023 at 4:59 PM ^
I have no idea who this is, and I really don't care to devote my time to find out, but this is all probably going to get worse before it gets better.
I don't know if it'll get as bad as MSU/OSU trolls want it to get, but I doubt we've seen the worst of this whole situation. Granted, I'm a cynic by nature, but I doubt we've seen the last of the allegations.
October 24th, 2023 at 5:01 PM ^
Is he one of those early or late dinner time people? I need to know whether I should be imminently worried or not worried for another 3 hours.
October 24th, 2023 at 5:05 PM ^
Unfortunately everything these buckeye assholes have been hinting at for weeks has come true so far. I'm guessing we are going to get this annoying drip feed of stuff which is clearly from their side and whatever Cryin' Day's PI found.
If it's related to hacking, then we are actually done for. Otherwise, who cares.
October 24th, 2023 at 6:10 PM ^
To stay in the conspiracy mindset this whole thing is based upon, maybe, just maybe, they are coming true because they are planting them. Huh? Maybe, this is really just an OSU ruse. Think about it....
October 24th, 2023 at 7:23 PM ^
The whole thing reeks for sure. Doesn't help that we can't comment either.
Can't wait to play them
October 24th, 2023 at 5:06 PM ^
I'm getting kind of hungry, if he's going to drop more bad news can we get on with it? I've got a steak to grill and beers to drink.
October 24th, 2023 at 5:14 PM ^
The same guys who have their panties in a twist thought it was all just great fun when other teams were accused of the same thing. Make sure to read the linked article inside this story as well.

This is a 14 year old article...No one has updated their processes since then?
October 24th, 2023 at 5:14 PM ^
When is Ryan Day going to learn? He poked the bear, now again?...
Michigan by 35 vs OSU...that QB kid doesn't get out of the 3rd qtr.
October 24th, 2023 at 5:21 PM ^
The rumor that I am hearing is that we were using space lasers from space on loan from George Soros.
October 24th, 2023 at 5:41 PM ^
I've said it before, and I'll say it again: you should only buy space lasers from Soros. Leasing them is a waste of money.
October 24th, 2023 at 5:23 PM ^
I don't have twitter/X...that said, who is this directed to and why should I even care?
October 24th, 2023 at 5:23 PM ^
Grr double post, it's those MF'ers at TruServe's fault...
October 24th, 2023 at 5:24 PM ^
We are going to legit murder these fuckers next month.
October 24th, 2023 at 6:42 PM ^
Who, Ohio State or TruStage?
October 24th, 2023 at 7:41 PM ^
I vote for both.
October 24th, 2023 at 5:28 PM ^
Everyone needs to calm down with the BPONE. A ton of the stuff coming out and everyone Zapruder-filming everyone piece of Michigan footage (from rival schools) has a basis in what other programs do in legal sign stealing.
Read the SI article about what Clemson did (and OSU whined about) in 2020. A ton of the "ZOMG evidence" from Buckeyes and Spartans is stuff that goes on everyday in football, people are just searching for a narrative on these being illegal rather than legal. Analyst on the sidelines. Databases of signals. Checking around with others, reviewing footage, etc. - all of that is part of legal sign stealing operations. Distinguishing between the two might be difficult, and doesn't make for good twitter and media drama when you want to take down a program.
Is there some smoke? Uh sure, not going to deny that, but that doesn't make anything associated with sign stealing as illegal.
October 24th, 2023 at 6:06 PM ^
Was there intent to deceive?
October 24th, 2023 at 5:52 PM ^
So—now that we are past old Florida people early-bird dinner time, can I ask, are we talking about Euro dinner time, or Midwest dinner time? Or West Coast dinner time?
October 24th, 2023 at 5:59 PM ^
From my experience, journalists who do this type of hype tend to disappoint. They have to sell the hype because their article/information isnt that big of a deal. You see it a lot with recruiting stuff.
But if he actually does have some new big information then, again, WTF is the NCAA doing allowing these leaks?
Edit: His big story is that Stalions allegedly purchased a ticket to a Clemson game. Figured he was just hyping it up to get more clicks and follows.
October 24th, 2023 at 6:12 PM ^
They should make it an infraction for ANY school to comment on an open investigation. How they trace the leaks....I don't know but it's a start.
October 24th, 2023 at 6:24 PM ^
The NCAA isn't leaking anything. Whiny bitch ass Ohio State and Ryan Day are shadow running this investigation and leaking shit to the media. To the Ohio State trolls lurking on our board to see us worried. I've gotta message for you. Your team and their crying third baseman head coach are getting their asses handed to them Nov 25th.
October 24th, 2023 at 6:33 PM ^
The big news was that Wyld Stallions also sent someone to a Clemson game? I don’t think that adds anything to the discussion.
October 24th, 2023 at 7:06 PM ^
Strange things are a foot at the Circle K
October 24th, 2023 at 7:15 PM ^
technically, just bought a ticket.
October 24th, 2023 at 6:33 PM ^
TrueStage is a Buckeye black ops outfit.
That stupid shit popped up as I tried to type this.
As Ron Burgundy would say, 'You're reading my mind! This proves it!"
October 24th, 2023 at 6:35 PM ^
He just tweeted: “SOURCES: Michigan's alleged sign-stealing operation extended beyond just Big Ten foes. Buckeye Huddle has learned that Michigan staffer Connor Stalions also purchased a ticket to a 2022 Clemson home game.”
Well that was a big nothing and I can’t believe I spent an hour worried about it.
October 24th, 2023 at 6:41 PM ^
Not even illegal since they weren’t on the schedule. Good work Buckeyes! You got us!
October 24th, 2023 at 6:53 PM ^
Hilarious. I'd love to know if he increased his followers after the first tweet.
October 24th, 2023 at 6:37 PM ^
I won’t even post the Twitter link, but his “news” is that buckeye huddle identified Stalions bought a Clemson ticket in 2022 too. I don’t recall thinking when we would end up playing Clemson. But 2022 was definitely not their year. So I think this helps us if anything.
edit: I guess they were in the hunt for a bit. But this is still a giant nothing.
October 24th, 2023 at 6:40 PM ^
Wow, that's some hard hitting journalism.
October 24th, 2023 at 6:40 PM ^
This is the Stalions of journalism.
October 24th, 2023 at 6:38 PM ^
Anybody that baits people like this guy are immediately less credible.
October 24th, 2023 at 6:42 PM ^
I think we can all agree that Stalions bought a bunch of tickets to a bunch of different games, so that isn't exactly breaking news. Will he next blow us away with revelations that people were in those seats recording?
October 24th, 2023 at 6:43 PM ^
OK, how does he know what my dinner time is? I wonder if he has a Vast Network also
October 24th, 2023 at 6:50 PM ^
Not sure why this got me but I almost spit out my drink. Take my upvote.
October 24th, 2023 at 7:30 PM ^
Dude timed it correctly for my dinner, are they listening in on my alexa? Illegal use of electronics, even though I'm not on the field of play.
October 24th, 2023 at 6:47 PM ^
Am I supposed to know who this fuckface is?
October 24th, 2023 at 6:47 PM ^
What time does this loser think is dinner time?
October 24th, 2023 at 6:50 PM ^
lol this is the big breaking news. Something that isn’t even illegal.

he really dropped the bombshell with that one. Program over. Wins vacated.
