Rick Neuheisel suggests the NCAA should go after Harbaugh for their tobacco policy
November 28th, 2023 at 12:57 PM ^
I know. That's just another minor beauty of winning that game. Galloway can suck it on for another 370 days.
November 28th, 2023 at 12:40 PM ^
Really glad you both linked to where Rick said this as well as explained this tobacco policy that's causing a ruckus.
November 28th, 2023 at 12:41 PM ^
What is the tobacco policy, and what is Harbs doing to violate it?
If there's a rule, I'm fine with the rule being enforced. It seems like it should be something along the lines of a nominal fine. I'm guessing Rick is suggesting a 2-season suspension.
November 28th, 2023 at 12:45 PM ^
Tobacco use in all forms is prohibited during practice and competition by student-athletes and game personnel, and may result in ejection from the game
according to a Google search. I don't know the answers to your other questions, though.
November 28th, 2023 at 12:45 PM ^
I'm not seeing anything easily online. I'm guessing any tobacco use during games or practice is technically banned, but not really enforced.
November 28th, 2023 at 12:48 PM ^
He dips.

Each player gets a free carton of Pall Malls every month.
No need to research this. It's true - just trust me.

"Each player gets a free carton of Pall Malls every month."
"...and they are mild!"

From the official NCAA rulebook:
Use of Tobacco
ARTICLE 7. Players, squad members and game personnel (e.g., coaches,
athletics trainers, managers and game officials) are prohibited from using
tobacco products from the time the officials assume jurisdiction until the referee
declares the game over.
PENALTY—Disqualification. Dead-ball foul. 15 yards at the succeeding
spot
(This is irrelevant of course, since we've never seen Harbaugh use tobacco during a game).

Neuheisel is an oral cancer.
November 28th, 2023 at 12:49 PM ^
Harbaugh may stop using chew but Neuheisel will always be an asshole.
November 28th, 2023 at 12:48 PM ^
In related news, the town of Salem, MA is suing the NCAA and B1G to preserve its exclusive right to conduct witch hunts.
November 28th, 2023 at 12:49 PM ^
At this point I'd only be surprised if anyone in coaching / media actually likes Harbaugh.
November 28th, 2023 at 12:49 PM ^
OP's been with us 15 years and accumulated 333 points so my guess is thread creation is not something he's done much of.
Go easy on the lurker.
November 28th, 2023 at 1:12 PM ^
I actually think it's almost beautiful to make the post with no link, quote or reference, and then just walk away. No looking back to see the response, no attempt to fix.
10 out of 10 post from OP. No notes.

This comment made me think of my favorite SNL skit of all time about Avatar using the papyrus font for their logo:
Yeah. He just highlighted Avatar, he clicked the drop down menu and then he randomly selected Papyrus. Like a thoughtless child just wandering by a garden yanking leaves along the way.

I’ve actually been worried about this for years once Beckman at Illinois got suspended. There has been times during games that it’s obvious he has a dip in.
November 28th, 2023 at 12:52 PM ^
1. Newweasel is an idiot.
2. Harbaugh should quit the dip.
November 28th, 2023 at 12:53 PM ^
Was Harbaugh enjoying a cigar on Saturday evening.. outside, in his backyard - around the fire pit with his dad and other members of his family? Again?
Next thing you know, they’ll be calling out Harbaugh for “underage recruiting” when he visits elementary and junior high schools in the area.
November 28th, 2023 at 12:58 PM ^
Watch it. They have pictures of Jim running a chain gang at a Rocket football game during his first suspension. Investigators are hot on the trail of this recruiting violation.
November 28th, 2023 at 1:31 PM ^
You're confused. That was Mel watching porn again.
November 28th, 2023 at 1:03 PM ^
My word, what a loser.
November 28th, 2023 at 1:10 PM ^
Like the videos allegedly from iPhones, has anyone actually seen the dip? Are we sure it's not mint or some cbd product to keep Coach calm? I need actual proof not more circumstantial evidence!!!!!! /s
He should give up the dip if it is in fact tobacco as a model for his young charges. Don't give anyone any other reason to jump on JH.
November 28th, 2023 at 1:30 PM ^
I sure wonder why none of the supposed Stalions-acquired iPhone videos of future opponents have been leaked to the media (if any have, forgive me). My guess is they would give away the bullshit nature of the charges...the videos are probably total dogshit and nobody would believe a competitive advantage was gained from them.
November 28th, 2023 at 1:28 PM ^
Ric knows all about the NCAA going after a coach...
November 28th, 2023 at 1:46 PM ^
Jim uses Smokey Mountain non-tobacco chew during games.... so the investigation would turn up, molasses and corn silk
November 28th, 2023 at 1:48 PM ^
But it's all good when all Alabama coaches and players (and this year all the fans in the stands) light cigars for beating Tennessee. Irony knows no bounds....
November 28th, 2023 at 2:02 PM ^
(Ducks)
Jim openly dipping on the sidelines, with the can sticking through his khakis, is maybe my least favorite thing about him. Personal choice, common for NFL QBs of his time, etc., but it's such a disgusting habit with well-documented and harmful consequences, and he's a representative of the university. Probably should cut it out, and not just because of the NCAA.
November 28th, 2023 at 3:28 PM ^
What a piss ant.
November 28th, 2023 at 4:00 PM ^
I do wish Coach would quit dipping or at the very least try to conceal it more during televised games. It's a tough habit to break and every time I see him on TV that lipper looks so tempting.
November 28th, 2023 at 5:34 PM ^
This is my fault… I was gifted a box of Cuban Cohiba Esplendidos and, dropped a few off for Harbaugh. My sincere apologies to the Michigan faithful.

I used to love ‘Full Ride’. Listened to it every morning, even though Childers sounds like a clown who really doesn’t know football. Then I heard Neuheisel spewing about how JJ has been benefiting from knowing the signs, and how our wins are tainted over the last three years. Turns out he’s a clown as well, which is why he’s doing radio and not on the sidelines somewhere. Stopped listening. Won’t go back.
