I honestly went into this year knowing we were going to lose. Now, I'm more confident, but they're going to be playing for everything. This game is going to mean the world to them. It doesn't even matter if they win or lose at PSU Saturday. Beating OSU without cheating will be their only salvation and doubly so if Harbaugh is still coaching.
I think OSU can win. Our D is legit. I have a lot of doubts about McCord though.

By the way, the B1G waiting until he was packed on the bus to the airport or heading to PSU.
That was done intentionally, imho.

Notice the NCAA says the fact that TTUN was cheating isn't even a question. Their investigation is continuing just to find out who knew.
And just for Catt... Here's TTUN fans talking about going to the ACC after this news broke.

It just keeps getting more and more embarrassing for TTUN.
They also expressly say, "The conference vehemently rejects any defense by the University or any other conference member that cheating is acceptable because other schools do it too."
Then TTUN responds, and guess what their response consists of the hilarity below. You can't make this shit up. Any respect I had for that program, hell the school, is gone. They need to earn it back at this point. I genuinely hope fans like Cake are the rule and not the exception. If they are, they need to retake their program from the lunatics currently in charge.
A reminder: OSU fired Tressel and Meyer for much less. TTUN is refusing to lift a finger even when presented with a mountain of evidence that there is blatant cheating going on in their program.
No way is Harbaugh not getting a Show Cause when all is said and done. I truly think the NCAA is going to absolutely hammer them mainly due to their hubris.
Did you read the B1G's letter to TTUN blatantly telling them they were lying, delaying, and deflecting? It, literally, points out they lied about not seeing evidence. It also calls them out for doing nothing to investigate the situation themselves.On October 18th, in what they refer to as an extraordinary event, the President of the NCAA, the Commish of the B1G and Univ of Michigan leadership had a call where NCAA disclosed the evidence they had.
Later that same day B1G Commish had another call w UM President, AD and General Counsel.
Oct 18th Michigan leadership took no action against Connor Stalions.
Oct 19th Michigan leadership took no action against Connor Stalions.
Oct 20th B1G Commish called Warde Manuel to ask if they planned to take action against Connor Stalions.
Later that day Michigan suspended Stalions with pay.

Michigan sports writer crushes TTUN for their arrogance.A statement from the University of Michigan:
"Like all members of the Big Ten Conference, we are entitled to a fair, deliberate, and thoughtful process to determine the full set of facts before a judgment is rendered. Today’s action by Commissioner Tony Petitti disregards the Conference's own handbook, violates basic tenets of due process, and sets an untenable precedent of assessing penalties before an investigation has been completed. We are dismayed at the Commissioner's rush to judgment when there is an ongoing NCAA investigation – one in which we are fully cooperating.”
Commissioner Petitti’s hasty action today suggests that this is more about reacting to pressure from other Conference members than a desire to apply the rules fairly and impartially. By taking this action at this hour, the Commissioner is personally inserting himself onto the sidelines and altering the level playing field that he is claiming to preserve. And, doing so on Veteran’s Day – a court holiday – to try to thwart the University from seeking immediate judicial relief is hardly a profile in impartiality. To ensure fairness in the process, we intend to seek a court order, together with Coach Harbaugh, preventing this disciplinary action from taking effect."
A reminder: OSU fired Tressel and Meyer for much less. TTUN is refusing to lift a finger even when presented with a mountain of evidence that there is blatant cheating going on in their program.

They are dying on this hill, and I simply do not understand it. They will watch their carefully crafted reputation as an institution of higher learning be decimated so that a booger eater can try and coach what may or may not be a decent team (we really don't know as they haven't played anyone) to a national championship that will later be vacated (proven by the evidence the NCAA has already provided the B1G and that TTUN has seen). They're doing this for a guy who has tried to leave them twice in as many years, who most of their fanbase wanted fired three years ago, and who has more suspensions this year than bowl wins in 7 seasons. Oh, and who was at the helm during the largest spying/cheating scandal in NCAA history.
Make it make sense!

Timothy Connors...
BUT!!! Apparently, he won't be the judge on this case. Nope, it'll be his fellow judge and UM alumni.
And to be fair, I think finding a judge in Michigan that isn't an alumni and would be impartial is pretty impossible. These people get elected and going against TTUN would be career suicide. What they need is a federal judge or a judge from a state that has no vested interest in the B1G.

TTUN's sheer arrogance is not winning them anything.
The NCAA is now fast tracking their investigation and want it done by Dec 21.
There is a very real possibility that TTUN could go undefeated, win the B1G title, be selected for the CFP, and THEN be told their year is over.

The local judge also said no ruling on the TRO until next Friday. So Harbaugh is absolutely not coaching today.
FYI, I think TTUN wins easily.

TTUN won, but honestly didn't look great. They looked about the same as OSU against PSU. I think our game in two weeks is a toss up.
Although, as good as PSU's D is, their O is baaaaaaaaaad. Allar or whatever only had 60 yards passing (ditto for JJ on the other side). Franklin might genuinely be the worst big game coach in history. Just horrible call after horrible call from start to finish. Maybe hiring people based on if their wife is hot doesn't result in a good coaching staff? Who knew?

Also, we're idiots. We should have been hammering that under for Iowa-Rutgers. With 4 minutes left in the 3rd it was 3-0 Iowa. However, 5 minutes later it's 12-0 and Iowa looks like they might be punching one in. This might be the most offense in a 5 minute period for Iowa ever.James Franklin at Penn State
1-9 vs Ohio State (10%)
0-5 in Columbus (0%)
3-7 vs Michigan (30%) (assuming loss today)
1-4 in Ann Arbor (20%)
4-5 vs Michigan State (44%)
1-3 in East Lansing (25%)
12-25 vs Top 25 (32%)
3-17 vs Top 10 (15%)
This deserving of $70 Million?

I was rooting for your team Catt. Although, I have to agree with the announcers that the catch at the 5 with 2 minutes left should have been reviewed. Looks like he didn't get down before the ball was ripped away.

There is some really good football being played this year.
OSU, TTUN, Georgia, Bama, Texas, Oregon, FSU, and Washington are all legit contenders. Louisville will join the conversation Tuesday, but I haven't seen them play.
Right now I'm thinking Georgia-Oregon is the title game. They just seem to be playing the best right now.
The 12 team playoff is going to be fun next year.
