  1. Yeah, I think very little sophistication across the board. Although I did hear that Mack Brown once confiscated the cell phone of every staff member to try to find a press leak that pissed him off or at least scare them into not leaking. Which did not shock me in the least when I heard that.
  2. 18-22 year olds fuck up plays every damn week. I can't imagine what it would look like attempting to flip your entire system the week of.
  3. Fuck Bob. Zero chance they didn't try some shit from time to time while he was at OU. I know Mack used to practice in the bubble OU week convinced those fuckers would have someone somewhere watching if outside.
  4. I tend to agree with this. I don't think Harbaugh survives this in any event and is probably coaching in the NFL next year. But there is still a big difference between failure to monitor and direct involvement in the scheme. I mean look, I think we can all say at an absolute minimum the entire staff knew this guy was up to something because there is no way you can be that good at stealing signals based on TV broadcasts. But if there is documentation that takes it to the next level (i.e., direct Michigan reimbursement of these expenses or direct coaching staff involvement implementing the scheme) that is what will take this to a different level. Michigan will probably be forced to turn over reimbursement records and text message data. That is where things will get interesting.
  5. Stealing signs in general isn't an issue. So no. Stealing signs by scouting in person is the issue.
  6. Having the other teams signals isn't cheating. Obtaining those signals via in person scouting is. I'm going to be surprised if there is any documentation linking Harbaugh directly. The old "don't ask don't tell" scheme. How bad this end once all the evidence is in is going to come down to (i) how this was financed (i.e., was this reimbursed directly or indirectly via UM or superiors on the staff with a paper trail and (ii) whether this Super Michigan fan flips on his superiors that were in the loop or if he takes all the blame to save the program. If he's a super fan I wouldn't count on him naming names so it may come down to how well they covered financing this scheme.
  7. We were at a bar in uptown with a big group, all of us young and pre-kids. Someone ordered victory shots for the table that literally showed up when it got to 2 strikes on the Nelson Cruz misplay. It's forever referenced among anyone at that table anytime someone attempts to celebrate too early. Just sickening. And that was obviously the worst but walking out of Globe LIfe last Friday after the Altuve HR was a clear 2nd for most baseball sports sick I've ever been. Still can't believe those guys were able to shake that off and win 2 more. Because like others have said, I don't think that '11 team had a chance in game 7 after the night before.
  8. This. Absolutely nothing in this series would surprise. Beginning post ASB I've never seen anything like the highs and lows in a compressed period. The way the ALCS played out was a perfect encapsulation of it. I've been saying this team has been playing with house money since the start of the postseason considering how we ended the regular season so hoping we can just ride it out to a title.
  9. I was at client dinners out of town both games. All I got to see live was the bottom of the 9th but have seen all the highlights. Just amazing. After walking out of Globe Life dejected Friday night what a crazy turn of events. Baseball man.
  10. How many years have you watched college football? Serious question. Do you not appreciate that it's rare for any inexperienced QB to just step in any play well? Nobody is knocking MM. They are explaining reality. Sark's gameplan is not going to be to throw it 40+ times with a first time starter.
  11. It's probably the fact that he's had like 3 career pass attempts. I mean QE is still a work in progress and he has like 15 games played now. Potential is great and all but experience matters at QB in CFB.
  12. Was stuck at a client dinner last night and could barely keep up with game. Luckily for you all it's the same tonight. Hopefully the same outcome.
  13. He was not good yesterday after the first quarter. There isn't any other way to spin it. I'm not sure if Houston started doing something on defense he wasn't expecting or what but he absolutely could not process or progress through reads and just checked down over and over. Like someone said yesterday, if Sark doesn't scheme a WR open that he recognizes pre-snap he doesn't process well. I don't have any idea how that is going to translate to NFL QB and I'm betting scouts see games like yesterday and second guess his multi-million dollar arm. Everyone was bitching about Sark "stalling" with the offense but we have better players that should win every matchup at TE/WR and Quinn just turtled. I know he was injured at that point, but the goal line series where he threw the ball away twice with numerous open receivers was just bad. On the 3rd down, he could have actually just checked down and Brooks walks in.
  14. In a season of Big 12 not calling holding against our opponents time and time again, I think yesterday may have been the most egregious. I can think of 5-6 blatant off the top of my head. I said it in the game thread but at this point it flat out has to be part of an offensive scheme. When our opponents watch this shitshow on film and see that UH wasn't called for a single fucking hold, they are flat out going to coach their guys to do whatever it fucking takes to not let your guy get to the QB. It's an absolute joke.
  15. Thanks for the shitty play call Dana.
  16. What an absolutely ridiculous call
  17. We can't cover a crossing route to save our live. Unbelievable
  18. This. He doesn't process. He has an NFL arm but he's not near ready for that league mentally.
  19. Huh? Multiple receivers are open on initial route. Ewers didn't pull the trigger. Hell, check down there and Brooks walks in.
  20. The damn RB check down he's reverted to 20 times this game actually would have scored there. Easily
  21. Needed that. Should have held better that time Houston
  22. Of course we don't get that call.
  23. I was about to lose my mind if they had the gall to call that a hold after what we've seen on the other end.
  24. A goaline offense is getting cute? Teams have been putting DL as blockers inside the 5 for 30+ years dude. If anything we didn't get cute and it cost us that game.
  25. I would bet $$ their coaches are flat out telling their tackles just don't let them get to the QB they aren't going to call shit. So you combine that with our absolute garbage secondary we're in trouble.
