Shuster Tweet: TRO issued after midnight would get us through OSU game.

This evening, I had an Ohio State University graduate at my front door. But, I got him to leave…by paying for the pizza. #Michigan #GoBlue

Can we door dash some Mr Spots to him? 

The case is before Judge Kunhke, a former Michigan undergraduate.

Judge Connors will do the right thing.  I have been before him dozens of times and my confidence level is high. Even if he bends over backwards to not appear to be a homer, Michigan's case is so strong as to breach of contract and lack of due process that I can't see him denying the TRO.

 I want to be very happy at 9:01 pm on the West Coast here.

Then moreso at 12:30 pm local time tomorrow!

I mean, I think they're confident that the former UM football player and current UM adjunct professor is going to rule a certain way in this case.

This is UM playing the long game to make sure Harbaugh isn't blocked for the rest of the regular season, which I'm sure gives them some piece of mind.

The idea that this entire contingency plan wasn't already aligned is laughable. I'm sure Harbaugh and the players were all aware that if they tried to pull this shit, a plan to get a TRO was already laid out. 

This shit is a part of life.  I have no doubt these Michigan Men will take care of business tomorrow. 

Go Blue!

12:01.  Guess I'm drinking tonight.

Bet

No. Based on the obvious lack of objectivity recently, the lines are blurred.

He'd look no more biased than a conference that claimed it was punishing Michigan, not Jim Harbaugh, by only suspending Jim Harbaugh for games after making a big show about how they cared deeply about player safety and the huge advantage this sign stealing gained by Michigan despite the fact Stalions hasn't been on the staff going on 3 weeks now.

If the TRO request is anything like the letter UM sent the conference a couple days ago this is a super easy decision by the judge.

It could. Judge still has to give a good reasoning. It doesn't matter which Judge. One side or the other is going to claim that the Judge is biased. So, why not UM Judge. I would rather take my chances with UM Judge than any Judge who went to a B1G school or Harvard.

Not out of line, and not beyond the realm of possibility, but very unlikely. Even if Judge Connors believed that his TRO would get appealed immediately and/or the B1G would seek relief in, for example, the Eastern District of MI (i.e. Federal Court), it would not occur until after tomorrow's game. The legal motions and filings, hearings, etc., alone, would require several days to complete. 

Tony Paul of the Detroit News was suggesting a recusal might be coming.  

David Shuster suggested the judge may have to recuse himself at the trial, but not necessarily for granting restraining order. 

I doubt it. It's only a TRO. He's not deciding the entire validity of the case or the investigation. 

An airline pilot will tell you that a plane is a faster way to go from New York City to Los Angeles than a bus.

Is he biased?  Yes.

Is he right?  Yes.

No brainer.

The time for civility is over. The B10 pissed off everyone at UM with the bs. At this point I doubt it’s about football and more about the B10 needing to realize who actually runs the B10

It's just a temporary order. Not a precedent. Also, I imagine it would greatly enhance his reputation in Washtenaw county which is where he is a judge.

I have a hard time believing the case will stay with a Michigan professor who played football at Michigan.
