A team of 18-22 year olds with whom I only share a tenuous affiliation, playing a game over which I have no control, beat another team I was trained to arbitrarily hate and backed up a bunch of shit I talked online.
JD Vance is the most successful American under the age of 40. Veteran, college in two years, Yale Law, hedge fund, memoir that has sold more than 2 million copies, senator, now prospective VP. He should have overwhelming gratitude for this country. Let's see if he shows it.
Dreams are realized on the shoulders of giants. Shout out the parents for paving the way for me and my sister to graduate from Michigan (5 times and 15 years between us, no biggie). We could lose by 1000 and this week will still have been worth it. Go fucking blue. And yeah my
My 3.5 year old overheard the expletive-laden Sherrone Moore postgame interview. In the 36 hours since, he’s gotten a barbed wire tattoo on his calf, smacked me across the face and told me to get “Kraft” mac-and-cheese and not “that velveeta bullshit”, and held a sharp magnetile
The University of Michigan is finally back in its rightful, god-given place in the Universe: that is, the Center of the Universe. Hulking, not shrinking, under the spotlight of international attention. Persevering through unjust persecution. Battling back with our most feared
The best part about winning the national championship? The part of my brain that used to be hyper-fixated on these day-to-day machinations has completely detached itself from my mind and body. It is gently and aimlessly floating in the ether of enlightened Nirvana. The
The Harbaugh-Michigan negotiations are at an impasse, at least for now. It isn't money - plenty there - but the clauses: what should be covered by immunity (e.g. cheeseburgers, etc.), and what not?
Therein lies the rub. Stay tuned.
Hold up you’re telling me a staffer was somewhere he shouldn’t have been in order to glean a competitive advantage ? Absolutely wild tbh. Tony Petitti must step in now and retroactively strip the Buckeyes B1G championship and the NCAA should ban them from their upcoming CPF game.
🚨 | BREAKING: Ohio State Coach Brian Hartline is being accused of tampering with 5🌟 Jeremiah Smith
Smith is the

Overall Player in the Nation & has been committed to the Buckeyes for a year. However, he's left the door open for 1 other school - Florida State.
It's confirmed
Charlie Baker does not “regret” his “unusual” decision to alert the Big Ten to the Michigan sign-stealing inquiry and believes it helps legitimize Wolverines title.
“No one believes at this point that Michigan didn’t win the national title fair & square"
You just know this was the most poorly formatted spreadsheet of all time. I’m talking no wrapped text. Multiple fonts. Multiple font sizes. Zero shaded boxes. Inconsistent alignment. Absolute mess of a spreadsheet.
A former employee at a Big Ten football program has told The Associated Press it was his job to steal signs and he was given details from multiple league schools to compile a spreadsheet of play-calling signals used by Michigan last year.
The former Ohio State Director of Football video AND Assistant Football Video Coordinator are both employed by catapult as senior engineers. Very interesting stuff
Alright. I’m caught up. I think the suspension is dumb. I think the manner and circumstances in which it was delivered was even dumber. Genuinely surprised Tony Petitti played it like this. The penalty and response letter seem tinged with personal animus. Cooler heads may well
This guy is a one-man wrecking crew. Absolutely unhinged in the most delightful way. Insane Indian auntie calling the high school English teacher to interrogate her as to why her son got an A- on his Grapes of Wrath essay vibes. I'm in awe. Big fan.
Oh my god, this man really thought he was signing the Declaration of Independence. This is some dip the feather into the inkwell and contemplate the liberty bell swirl of the stroke kinda shit.
Report from a friend who’s in the Big House right now:
“It’s eerily somber in here. Fans seem to know deep down that there’s serious punishment coming and that likely includes Harbaugh. “Last Dance” has been referenced a nauseating amount of times. Like it’s the end of the
National Championship thoughts now that I'm back in Singapore and somewhat timezone-readjusted:
- Washington fans were awesome. I sat with my sister (UM grad) and her boyfriend (UW grad) and I had a uniformly great experience with Husky fans. I was momentarily taken aback by the
This is broadly correct. In each case, teams benefitted from advanced, in-person scouting done by others (Stalions' agents and other Big Ten coaches, respectively). The only meaningful difference[0] is that Stalions' agents recorded games, but recording games in connection with
@internetraj
It seems to me that receiving information from someone else about another game you aren’t involved in is “the agent relationship” referenced re UM allegations, and thus is illegal scouting in the same way
My take on the potential Notice of Allegations for Michigan is that I hope the NCAA delays into perpetuity because I don't ever want posts like these to stop. This is one of the 50k+ messages in part 130 of a thread on the 11w board. Never take this away from me. I need this.
My twitter algorithm has somehow been sucked into some crazy vortex of USC accounts breathlessly posting Zapruder films of inconsequential / nonexistent holding penalties. I don’t know what to make of this. UM didn’t throw a forward pass and still won.
I am burning this tweet on to a CD-R and priority FedEx-ing it to Jerome Powell as proof positive to keep interest rates higher, for longer. Unconscionable that losers have this much free time to produce such vanilla garbage.

Vocal tenor of an embattled CFO on an earnings call trying to explain why they missed Q4 gross margin guidance by 37% before hastily advancing to the slide about adjusted EBITDA
As a few of my Michigan tweets got sucked into the twitter algo, by _far_ the meanest thing MSU / Buckeye fan have said to me over the last few weeks is that I'm a "crypto" guy. As someone who doesn't even own crypto and only logs onto the janky Vanguard interface to buy more
Screwedometer is down to 40%. Note that the Screwedometer relates to material sanctions (vacated wins, post-season bans, show-cause) after the full NCAA process is complete.
The "Cookedometer" relates to any sanctions this year. The Cookedometer is and has always been at ~5%.
Tony ran away lmaoooooooo. My man bolted like he had the Strava on!!!! He trying to get those splat points! He just re upped the class pass so he can hit Barry’s!
The funniest part of the JJ McCarthy draft discourse is that first round QBs have a roughly 50% base rate of being a bust. A material contributing factor for that variability is whatever random team, scheme, and circumstances they are dropped into. This is a science that
I will relinquish my role as PM on 15 May 2024 &
@LawrenceWongST
will be sworn in as the next PM on the same day. I ask all Singaporeans to give Lawrence & his team your full support, & work with them to create a brighter future for Singapore. – LHL
The year is 2020 and time traveller tells you that, within four years, Michigan will lose both Jim Harbaugh and Juwan Howard. One to the pros after winning a natty. The other gets fired in the wake of a losing season and dysfunctional culture. Life comes at you fast.
