Sigh. I kind of think our best bet is to promote someone (e.g., Clink) because he provides continuity / should be steeped in the Ravens-style defense after the past few years.
I have one like this, which is pretty good (and looks similar to the one Moore is wearing). I got it at M-Den, but they have it online. Actually mine doesn't have the strap in the back - 47 brand has some that are actually fitted.
The article was posted yesterday. Sorry for freaking people out. I read it as “Oh, I see why JJ wasn’t at his best, but he’s probably fine now.” Again, sorry.
I’m starting to think the Big Ten people aren’t as dumb as they seem. I don’t like that thought, so I will stick with “these guys are tools and fools.”
This season, Signgate will be mentioned every game. It won’t be remembered much after this season. Yes, it’s ESPN’s fault. I didn’t say it was a perfect take. It was just a lot better than anything I’ve seen there recently.
1. The Michigan Athletic Department’s seeming desire to self-harm will cause it to do something abjectly stupid (and excessive) in terms of penalties.
2. I’m certain that after this is all over, the NCAA will promptly make what Michigan did legal. As they have done repeatedly for other things they have roasted us for.
Of course, it’s not actually about sign-stealing. It’s about scouting (which can include sign-stealing).
My favorite thing about this was an article that pointed out that a) this rule was put in place to help small schools and b) it actually penalizes small schools because their games aren’t on TV, so now they have even less video than before. Source: ESPN
The rule change eliminated all live scouting by staff members or scouting services, which was a big change for football and men's and women's basketball. University presidents believed it was just as easy for coaches to scout opponents on TV or tape. They also hoped it would bring more equity to the playing field because schools with smaller athletics budgets couldn't afford to send their coaches all over the country on scouting trips like the big schools did.
Many coaches were upset when in-person scouting was banned nearly three decades ago, especially those from smaller schools who couldn't watch their opponents' games on TV. But coaches adjusted by swapping tapes of recent games. Coaches complained that they couldn't gauge an opponents' speed on tape or pick up details like cadence and tendencies without seeing them live.
It usually depends on the program. For example, UW is exceptionally strong in Computer Science - much better than OU, OSU, MSU. (According to CSRankings which is a better source than USNews for CS).
OU, OSU and MSU are relentlessly average.
What makes U of M so amazing is that it's great in almost everything. Most schools are good at a few things (e.g., Illinois - great at CS but not much else - I know a lot about CS...)
I'm confused about this a bit - at times he sounds like a Michigan fan:
Quarterback JJ McCarthy continues to bolster the running game, which I began clamoring for a month ago. He was sacked four times in this one and ran it six other times, so now I’m clamoring for Michigan to stop putting him into harm’s way so often.
I just started reading this (via these posts) - am I missing something?

Really incredible. You have really done an amazing job telling your story. Not this fucking time, indeed.

NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE
Beautiful. Thank you.
NOOOOOOOOO
Mike Sainristil was pretty great too. Our next senator!
Agreed. He gone.
Good for him.
Spot on. Well done.
So happy. We have waited so long.
So glad Brian was in Houston to witness it. GO BLUE.
The article was posted yesterday. Sorry for freaking people out. I read it as “Oh, I see why JJ wasn’t at his best, but he’s probably fine now.” Again, sorry.
I choose to think that he’s now 100% and will beat the living daylights out the Huskies defense.
Sorry, I was just quoting.
SIAP. I knew he was hurt in Penn State, but this was information I didn’t know.
“Ohio Li’l Bro State” . Love it.
So great! Glad you could go with your daughter!
Would be an excellent prank Christmas gift for someone...
Presumably a clerical error.
I noticed that the plate has a zero, not an O - I don't know if they allow both (since that would be easy to confuse).
I have had a Michigan vanity plate for years and I would be pissed if it just got reassigned.
If there was indeed a heated head of universities call, then the following sequence is plausible:
Man, this sucks.
[Edit: CR says it went down differently]
We are the #2 team for the Big Ten, after Purdue, which is #1.
LOL
Oh, I forgot.
LOL

It almost made me want to read ESPN again.
Legally obligated? No. Morally obligated? Yes.
Love it. Thanks for the laugh!
How great is that! Go Blue and best wishes on a full recovery for your wife (and life)!
If you are wondering, this is what they sell in the official Missouri store.
Not close…
He was a bad choice long before this story appeared. Just a troll.
Love this DISRESPEKT - a little extra motivation…
Crush OSU
He probably just weaseled an invite.
I wonder how many people nowadays even know about the Spy vs. Spy, but I gotta say, this one stings a bit :-)
I’ve less confident than Brian.

More than possible, I'm sorry to say.
Very fun! In the video, Coach pronounced Mike Sainristil as "Mike", not "Mikey" -- the mystery deepens :-)
This episode isn't showing up in Apple Podcasts for some reason...

Sure, but I wasn’t analyzing the article. I was having fun at MSU’s expense.
Very well done! Kudos!

Also, heh heh.
I was having problems on my iPad with Safari, but not on my iPhone or Mac. I installed Brave on the iPad and it's been fine.
No visa, because that would require a “pass-port.” Yes, I did that.
Though what really got me was the headline: “'Wolverines really need Colorado'”
I thought - “oh no, not more realignment!”
Best wishes to your family for a speedy and complete recovery.
