AP: Stalions Filed No Expense Reports w/Michigan

An unnamed "source" claims Jim Harbaugh may have broken laws multiple times, and could face massive fines and possible jail time as a repeat offender*. 

Unnamed source is RMCB message, and law broken is J-walking, which could potentially have a fine or jail time, but phrased in such a way to get most clicks and headlines.  I hate that journalists can make a headline like that, and can't be punished for obviously trying to ruin someone's reputation over nothing.

Wayyyyy back in the day, Lage was on a sports talk show in Lansing called the "Sports Guys".  It was co-hosted by Dave "Mad Dog" DeMarco (who would go on to do sports talk radio in lansing area for ~20 years) and ...my father.  At least DeMarco and my dad were MSU guys, and at some point, they kicked Larry off the show.  I was like 6 or 7 when it happened- but unnecessary long anecdote aside, it just made me smile to see Lage report something positive for Michigan here.

Don't forget flushing and washing your hands...

I thought it was washing hands, but you do you!

And each employee MUST feed and water the chickens.

I wipe with my taxes.

This is where Stalions' idiocy helps us.  Because expensing his scouting is just the kind of thing he would do if he was in on it with Michigan staff.  He never tried to hide anything.

which so far Stalions has been pretty careless, this seems to continue to point towards Stalions doing this all on his own

Bolded for emphasis.  If you apply the tiniest iota of critical thinking, it doesn't pass Smell Test 101 that Conor Stalions, the same vacuum retail mogul and 00-agent who has *waves hands wildly at all the stories we've heard* would be discreet enough to successfully conceal any untoward activities he was doing at the behest of the coaching staff.  If this guy was really and truly doing the illegal biding of Jim Harbaugh, even Inspector fkn Closeau would've connected those dots and made an an airtight case within 48 hours.

Also further explains why Michigan staff wouldn't know about this.  They know signs are stolen legally, and Stallions must have seemed ok at it, but they probably had no idea he was spending his money doing it this way, when he could have just asked other low level staffs at other schools. And we still don't know for sure what Stallions did was technically against the rules. It is dumb that we are beyond anything but a"hey, maybe let's have you depart with that guy" which is what happened. 

This is clearly a pretty big hole in the idea that it was some program established and run by Michigan Football with Jim Harbaugh's blessing

No expenses reports. Connors name on all the tickets. No evidence of anyone else. Etc. This is further evidence its Connors scheme, but Spartys and Buckeyes are gonna try to shift the goalposts again here

Too fucking late.

It will never be just nothing to us, that well has been forever poisoned.

I wish this were true, but the damage is done. Already have Harbaugh suspended. Perception is reality in most cases. The way this has been handled by the media, regardless of the outcome of any investigations, has been a total hatchet job. NCAA will feel it needs to do something, much like the B1G did. 

So, even if everything the rest of the way comes out in Michigan's favor. I don't think we'll like the outcome.

It’s not “nothing”. The suspension is real, and you can’t “un-suspend” Harbaugh for a game that’s already happened.

Likewise, the national audience already considers Michigan “cheaters”, the same way that the Patriots are “cheaters” due to the laws of physics. The accusation is the same as the crime.

Moreover, the sabotage committed against us by the rest of the conference is a warning: this will continue. Ohio State (apparently) set up a masterful smear campaign against us, and now there’s a blueprint. We also have proof positive that the conference itself will not defend Michigan, consult with Michigan, allow Michigan to defend itself, nor even wait until an investigation is done. The conference WILL punish Michigan, but tell ESPN before they tell Michigan 

The damage is done.

Foul words is but foul wind, and foul wind is but foul breath, and foul breath is noisome.

Foul words is but foul wind, and foul wind is but foul breath, and foul breath is noisome.

Is Sparty still stonewalling the FOIA to find out who paid Tucker's contract? I've lost track it dragged on so long.

I bet it was the fastest response to a FOIA request in FOIA history.

"I know for a fact, I have multiple sources, that Jim, Minter, Moore and Hart have been putting envelopes full of cash in Stallions mailbox every other Tuesday, start in 2021. I also heard from my sources that they promised Stallions he will be the OC by 2026 if he kept up the good work... this is going to come out REAL soon"

Signed,
99% of the morons in columbus 

Yeesh, that gun pantomime didn't age well . . . . 

Your sarcasm is noted, but I bet this is a true topic of conversation by some. Nutso some of our opposing fans are. 

The fact that the notoriously slow to respond UofM got a FOIA turned around so quickly is pretty much like them actively leaking this to the press.
