OT - Wake Forest Investigating if Louisville stole plays
November 16th, 2016 at 1:48 PM ^
can't stand that dude. i'm kind of hoping he's guilty so i can hate on him more.
November 16th, 2016 at 2:08 PM ^
Nah, I doubt Petrino is guilty. He is way too busy cruising around on his Harley (nicknamed "Midlife Crisis") and getting BJs from coeds I can only describe as "a solid 7. No, no, a solid 6".
November 16th, 2016 at 3:02 PM ^
All 1s or 0s, my man.
In the moment of truth, it's either a "yes" or a "no."

Let's cut through the crap too. While I'm married and would never cheat on my wife, when I assess most co-eds, I'm not going to be hating on any 7s, 6s or probably even 5s. A co-ed 5 is a 40-year-old 9 or 10.

"We take a lot of pride in the way we operate our program," the statement said. "As I've stated already this season, my coaching philosophy has always been to play the game with sportsmanship."
Somehow this quote doesn't carry as much credibility coming from Bobby Petrino. Can't quite place my finger on why, but.....

situation. Not helpful for Louisville making the CFP either way this goes.

I guess I should have entered in the "/s".

That's a bizarre analogy
November 16th, 2016 at 2:01 PM ^
I am a huge supporter of the "no politics" rule here - I love that this is one of the only spaces that I can escape the constant political discussion.
With that backgrop, I will try to defend his analogy in a non-political way. During the election, the email story was something that really hindered Clinton, and when it came back to the forefront shortly before the election, whether rightly or wrongly, it may have impacted just enough people's votes to swing the election to DJT.
Similarly, here, unless this story is conclusively disproven in the next week, whether accurate or not, the stink has the potential to sway members of the CFP Committee against Louisville.
Again, I am making no comment on (1) whether the email scandal was or was not accurate / fair; (2) whether it actually did swing the election, or (3) whether Louisville is actually guilty. My only point is that the analogy isn't that bizarre from the perspective of how perception of a scandal could impact a voting process.

its ok, hes a huge supporter of the no politics rule
November 16th, 2016 at 3:25 PM ^
analogy, and not intended to be political commentary in any way (b/t/w - I agree with the "no politics" here). Like it or not, Louisville and their CFP hopes will likely be affected by this story in the short term, and that affect will have nothing to do with the truth of this story - whatever that end truth is eventually determined to be in the long term.
November 16th, 2016 at 3:42 PM ^
Nothing to see here.

I blame this guy....
November 16th, 2016 at 1:51 PM ^
November 16th, 2016 at 1:52 PM ^
Ok I have three explanations?
1 - Louisville was trying to PREDICT possible plays WF hadn't run before -- based on formations they've shown, tendencies, etc. I have no idea if teams do this, but it seems plausible that, when you try to guess how a team will show you new looks, you look at what they've done in the past and guess how they might change it up, and then practice to that. At least to test your D's reaction to stuff they haven't seen before, even if those plays aren't actually run.
2 - Did they tape open practices? Is that prohibited, if its a public practice?
3 - Does WF employ any hot blonde former volleyball players? Cuz, if they do -- there ya go.
November 16th, 2016 at 3:39 PM ^
as you surmise, then why wouldn't they just say that's what those notes were?
November 16th, 2016 at 2:02 PM ^
it looks like they did a terrible job for the first three quarters.
November 16th, 2016 at 2:05 PM ^
Why would you feel like you'd need to steal WF's plays??? Are they that big of a challenge to Louisville? What am I missing here....

Marsha dated the other team's qb and he tried to steal the playbook from Greg. Luckily, Greg replaced the real playbook with a fake one that was eventually stolen.
November 16th, 2016 at 2:35 PM ^
But if you remember, the individual didn't believe him and they ended up getting their asses kicked.

Namath heard about the astroturf lawn and had to see it for himself.
November 16th, 2016 at 2:39 PM ^
need to steal plays to beat Wake Forest, and if they did, why were they trailing at halftime?

During, Brian's interview with Larry Deitch, I think Brian made the comment that there is no reason a university official should be protected from FOIA. I wonder how that affected athletic officials. If Harbaugh uses a university email to connect with his coaches on plays and recruits, is that FOIAable? I hope not, but maybe I'm missing something in that scenario.
November 16th, 2016 at 3:05 PM ^
Someone go back in time and FOIA Urban's playbook. Or any email with a PDF or docx. attachment.

Nitpick - most state laws that you refer to are also called FOIA.
November 16th, 2016 at 3:36 PM ^
Add'l nitpick (but not disputing you) - Not all Fed/State/Local/Public School information is subject to FOIA's (eg, health, academic, some personnel information, discussions protected by allowable closed session meetings).
November 16th, 2016 at 3:50 PM ^
Yeah but that wasn't my point. Ever tried one of these at the state level. They are bear!
November 16th, 2016 at 3:48 PM ^
Michigan has it's own FOIA laws, so that's what I was referring to.
Thinking about the conversation on the podcast though, I think it was more about how not enough university officials were covered by the laws. Brian said he didn't see any reasons why anything the university did should be hidden. Deitch mentioned the health system as an example of something that should be covered because of the competitive nature of that industry, but my mind immediately went to athletic coaches and what they might be sending via email.
November 16th, 2016 at 3:17 PM ^
November 16th, 2016 at 3:30 PM ^
Why would I not be surprised if this were true?
Oh yeah, Bobby Petrino......
Amazing how Louisville can have arguably the biggest scumbags in their respective sports (Petrino and Pitino) running their programs.
