You and Ryan claimed 2021 was a fluke and a reckoning was coming in 2022…and Michigan scored 45 points and won by three possessions.

You'll forever be lumped in as a Bucknut going forward.

lol ok?

I despise both programs equally if that makes you feel any better. My rooting interest in The Game is strictly monetary. Ohio State has won me a ton of money in this setting dating back nearly 15 years. Can't win them all unfortunately.

You were so confident.

It was adorable.

I believe you even gave me +20.5…and then Michigan WON by 22, lol.

For someone that looks down on me and is judgmental to someone whom they've never met, you sure do get triggered easily.

 

One doesn't have to be "triggered" to think a person has issues.  If I come across "judgmental" to you, it's probably because you earned it....

Something I hope you find helpful.....

Thanks for the resource.

Down 10 pounds, blood pressure 115/75, running 45 miles per week (training for a full), highly effective educator for the 15th time in 17 years, hot wife, happy life.

Hope you’re good.

CFP doing away with seeding conference champions and just going straight seeding.

Also, rumors of 14-16 in the next 2-3 years.

Sounds like we are both blessed. 
 

Guess you must have more time on your hands to stir the 💩.  Or perhaps simply more motivated to do so….

Enjoy the holiday!

You think the last few years have been a wild ride in college football? You ain’t seen nothin’ yet. Prepare yourself for chaos.

Remember when NIL first came up, and people envisioned a kid earning a few bucks signing autographs at the local car dealership? Yet, the Law of Unintended Consequences has us to this point.

These and other similar reports are fake. The SEC is not actually leaving the NCAA, nor does it have a concrete plan to in the future. 

However, is trying to move away from the ACC and the Big 12 when it comes to some of the major issues facing college sports. Earlier this month, he spoke on the two conferences' efforts to have more of a say in College Football Playoff decisions.

Just another reminder as we prepare for fall camp…

Hate seeing kids cross the border. I try purposely to lose track of them if they were recruited in state.

Good grief dude....love to go after 17-18 year olds, don't you?  What a man you are....🙄

I think he's just fine...and also has a natty.  You could give him credit for not taking the easy way out, sticking and competing...but that wouldn't be your style....unless he had chosen Michigan.

Fairly decent chance Curry walks out of Columbus with two national titles while Michigan is marred in scandal. 

Michigan is up to what, 9 coaches now implicated by the NCAA....with three already receiving multi-year show-cause bans?

Still as thin skinned as you’ve always been I see.  Salty too.

These kids are making north of 6 figures in many cases.  You can suck on the “leave these poor young boys alone” shtick.

Young adults should be held accountable for their words, no?

Has Curry even made a tackle in “The Game?”

“Scandal.”

We still pretending Michigan's only transgression is over a cheeseburger lol?

Your former ball coach was just named a defendant in his former coaches hacking case where he preyed on young women and violated their privacy rights.

Michigan has much more to worry about than something a recruit said in high school over 4 years ago.

Yeah, hammer must be coming.

That’s why they are building a monster recruiting class at the moment right?

None of this nonsense impacted games in any way and if the CFP/2024 didn’t teach you that, nothing will.

Stallions didn't impact the games in any way?

Michigan's recruiting violations that have netted three different show-cause bans from three different coaches didn't impact the games in any way?

Denial is a river.

Look what they did without Stallions, lol.

4-0 over OSU and Bama.

Slap on the wrist/fine/probation coming.

Yawn.

Not salty at all....just says a ton to me about a "man" that repeatedly goes after a comment of a 17 year old.  Guess it makes you feel "good"?  "Big"  I just call it sad....pathetic.

Accountable for those words?  So what.  If those are his worst words, he has a great life ahead.  Perhaps if his words stick with you so much, you might be one that is "thin skinned".  Definitely his words triggered you to the point you can't let it go.

The most recently filed lawsuit is an amended class-action complaint from 11 women accusing Weiss of hacking into their accounts and stealing personal photos. The original lawsuit was filed on March 21, with at least 74 women eventually joining with lawsuits against Weiss, the university, its board of regents and Keffer Development Services, a software and data storage company.  Ono, Harbaugh and 48 other people currently or previously affiliated with the university have been added to the amended suit. Other newly added defendants include U-M interim president Domenico Grasso, former president Mark Schlissel and athletic director Warde Manuel.

 

As part of the amended lawsuit, the plaintiffs are accusing the university of allowing Weiss to coach in the 2022 Fiesta Bowl vs. TCU on Dec. 31, 2022, despite already knowing he had illegally accessed private photos.

"The University put the interests of the University football team ahead of those of the victimized female students, further discriminating against the Plaintiffs and Class Members," a court filing released on Friday, June 27, reads.

"Instead, even though it knew Weiss was behind the breach of female student-athletes’ personal, private and intimate images and information, it allowed Weiss to coach in the 2023 national championship semifinal at the Fiesta Bowl. Only after the game, on January 5, 2023, over two weeks after it received notice of Weiss’s conduct, did the University even put the incident on its police blotter."
