Sure.  Whatever you say man.

No doubt you were a Bob Knight guy though right?

Also, why not 10 posts from you about the alcoholic Ohio University coach banging the undergrad?

Doesn’t fit your narrative?

I couldn’t imagine my favorite program having the best season in its history and remaining so obsessed with the winningest program in the sport’s history.

You do you though.

Didn't realize Bob Knight received NCAA violations for breaking rules.....

Ohio University coach was not in violation of NCAA rules.  Unlike the Michigan administration, Ohio University admin quickly dismissed their coach once they knew of his actions.  No rumors about that program knowing, but waiting until after signing day to act.  

Love how your constant attempts to deflect as your basis for defense....

I asked you a simple question about differing levels of integrity when you attempted to defend Michigan by stating "differering levels" of cheating.  That may have been your best yet.  I guess the positive is you at least are now admiting to cheating.  Now its about "how bad was the cheating".....

Priceless.....

Gonna play the devil's advocate here. From what I understand the relationship with the undergrad student occurred while he was separated from his wife? Can't say that's the end of the world kind of stuff. Gotta be careful though when you're in the limelight that being a head college football coach puts you in. That's something a CEO at a Fortune 500 company can get away with, not a head football coach at a D1 college.

I think when you mess around with what can be considered a subordinate in any workplace, you put yourself at risk.  I will defer to Bob as to the level of risk.  Additionally, it was reported he kept alcohol hidden in his desk drawer and supposedly imbibed at work.  If accurate, my guess is that is also a workplace violation.

At 8-4 this season, I doubt Ohio was looking to dismiss the coach for performance.  My guess is that he violated expected workplace conduct.

Whether one agrees or disagrees, Ohio took immediate action....they did not sit on it.

Here is the difference on how a real university deals with unacceptable behavior: Ohio investigates quickly and acts by terminating its head coach for cause. Meanwhile, Michigan knew about Moore’s behavior for 2 years and brushed it off. In addition, Moore was suspended for 3 games for questionable behavior, the university was fined millions of dollars, and suffered sanctions. Temp says nothing to see here, no problems. Let me show you our ring. Integrity is NOT something Michigan is about. Oh yeah, way too late, let’s hire a firm to investigate our own program. You just can’t make this stuff up…

You do you though.

Hilarious that you bring up Bobby Knight who never cheated when Michigan had Bill Friedman and Steve Fisher who both cheated. The spin control from you is laughable.

Nah, stupidity is just too hard to ignore sometimes.

You wanna see angry?  Let's go back to exhibit A of your tirade on Selection Sunday.

Oh, I have admitted to "cheating" all along.  I also speed often, don't leave a 20 percent tip and take extra candy at the checkout counter.

Bob Knight was a terrible human being for decades and only when the winning dried up did the IU administration have the balls to do anything about it.

The analogy fits.

Recruiting violations versus verbally attacking student athletes and putting your hands on them huh?

But he "never cheated" so surely he is going to heaven.

Once again, just hours away from the CFP kicking off and all folks wanna do is step up to the plate and try to jab at Temp.

Its fun being on top.

Nah, that was just me being authentic. I'm certainly not perfect. If dropping an F bomb and calling someone a couple of names is the worst thing I've done over the past two weeks, then I'm not doing to bad. I'll give me a B+.

I've been pulled over 15 times for speeding with about 8 tickets. I run through at least three stop signs per day. What's your point?

Terrible human being who made sure all his players went to class, graduated, and ran a squeaky clean program. The guy has a bit of a temper and you get your panties in a wad?

Technically isn’t Ohio State “on top”, since they are the reigning College Football Champions?

On top ? Only when you're standing on a 3' step ladder or standing in your scooter basket .

Great start to the playoff. Two teams that would be Vegas underdogs to a team that wasn't even invited. Doesn't present quite the same excitement as last year's opening game.

Oh, I've really got no problem with Knight personally.  His methods were just outdated.

Just calling out folks who like to pile on when there is a "scandal" involving another team whom they don't root for.

Don't wear panties.  More of a boxers guy.

I'd assume national folks disagree.  You think Bama/OU won't outdraw ND/IU?

Well, you did say he's a terrible human being. So you really don't think that?

It's close in that regard. Depends on the region. I guess just because I'll be watching a Christmas movie tonight doesn't mean everyone will be.

He wasn't perfect, like the rest of us. Again, and I mean this as advice for everyone. Don't throw stones from a glass house.

Of the top 50 most watched college football games this seasn...

Bama was involved in 4 of the top 10 and 6 of the top 20.

Oklahoma was involved in 3 of the top 17.

Notre Dame just 2 of the top 34.

Indiana 3 in the top 42

 

Betting tonight's Bama/OU game draws 16+ million viewers.

(Also, I love how salty you are that you are not even going to watch.)

You had to go back 34 spots to find the Miami and A&M games?

I see it now. Notre Dame/Miami #8. Notre Dame/A&M #34. That's fine. I won't debate the facts. I just have no interest in the first round. Might catch bits and pieces of Miami/A&M, but that's it.

If I can watch an ND/OSU title game, you can dig deep and watch tonight.

It's not about that, it just has no appeal to some. I see neither of these teams as a contender to win the whole thing. For me, it's just a bowl game and nothing more.
