That’s back up a truck full of money kinda deal. One of the best RBs in CFB. Seems like a Michigan, OSU, Bama, texas, & UGA type fight. 

Do you want a kid that's all about NIL?

I hope they do. They should be able to get the bet qualified candidate out there.

Finebaum walks back on tainted Michigan Natty comments. He's  a tool anyway.

so this game is the real B1G championship game?

Hopefully it's more entertaining than the last few east west match-ups.

Maybe he was stealing Bama's signs and transmitting them to the Michigan sideline.

The 2000 election.

Based on past disqualifications under the 14th amendment, that fact has little bearing on the Disqualification Clause. Of the eight people who have been disqualified under this part of the Constitution, at least five were not convicted of any crime.

Interesting. I didn't quite find what the other 8 situations were in the article. I may have skimmed over it to quickly. I still think this is political. Dems are worried he is going win. They are throwing darts at a wall and hoping one sticks. How many of the folks that stormed the capital were convicted of insurrection? Half dozen maybe. I haven't kept track.

What did the 4 judges do that you think they shouldn’t have? They didn’t create the lawsuit that came before them. Do you think the argument that Trump engaged in insurrection isn’t strong enough for the decision they made? 

I think I answered this in another post. It seems like the DOJ should have convicted Trump of insurrection first, no?

I'm pretty sure hacking into any computer system without authorization is illegal....and not just with the NCAA.

 

I'm fine if both Michigan and OSU are taken down because of this.

Illegal with real authorities...it might not be written into the NCAA rules.

Reportedly an Ohio State staffer had access to Maryland's files. Accessed it multiple times, accessing it weekly. Was able to watch their practices and get their signals. Maryland found out as SMU (back in 2022 when SMU was to play Maryland) told them that someone at Ohio State offered them the information. Maryland than notified Day about it. Day said he would handle it and no one knows what happened with the staffer that had access to it, or even who it was that had access.

Should we start a Ryan Day under investigation thread?  Maybe obtaining practice film by hacking is not illegal since it's not in person scouting by a coach or staff member.

Two of our country's preeminent constitutional experts consider the Colorado ruling "brilliant".  Neither could be considered particularly partisan.  Luttig is very conservative and Katyal voiced support for both Gorsuch and Kavanaugh..  This is worth taking 15 minutes to watch.  

 

 

 

 

If the US Supreme Court takes this up and upholds it, then it is what it is. I think that would create an opening for states to do this in other cases. If swing states do it, then what? Election boards and judges decide who is president?

So, you want to vote out judges that upheld the constitution. Interesting. 

They voted to remove a national presidential candidate from the ballot for insurrection. I don't think Trump has been charged for it yet, let alone convicted. If they could remove him for taxes evasion, or keeping classified documents at least they would have something he is charged with. Of course the latter could disqualify Biden and Pence too. I would not want Texas judges removing a Democrat candidate for something he has not been convicted of. It's a really bad move and I am concerned about the fall-out. So yes, I have their names written down, for future elections.

It rarely generates the headlines, but the election of local judges probably affects our lives more than most other votes. DA, too. 

The judges are appointed, but there are votes to retain them after some time. I am not sure how long that time duration is. I am also unsure whether CO Supreme Court justices are exempt from retention votes, but many other judges appear on the ballot. I will have to look it up. I generally vote to retain judges which is the normal recommendation. In all these years, I have seen only one judge that was recommended not to retain.

I don't know, man. I don't think it's unfounded or even radical to disallow a man trying to overthrow the democratic process from appearing on the ballot. And we haven't even gotten to the top secret document handling that earns others high treason charges. Or the felony tax evasion he's been dodging for years. Convicted felons can't vote in Colorado. I don't think criminal sheetheels should be allowed to run, either. 

 

If your vote would have helped Trump lose the Colorado primary, that would have been the better comeuppance. But that wasn't likely to happen. If you want to unseat him, treat the judges decision as good news. 

I don't need judges doing what they did. In Colorado we can vote to retain or not to retain judges. I have the names of 4 judges that, if given the opportunity, I will not vote to retain them. I have the names of 3 judges that I will vote to retain. All 7 are democrat appointed. 

Fools. Michigan has been bad in the post season for decades.  Ohio...

Exactly. The man who is so far ahead of Haley in the polls is now openly cribbing from the Nazi playbook, so it doesn't really affect her either way. 

She's the GOPs only shot to unseat said man in my opinion. I was looking forward to voting against him in the CO republican primary, but 4 idiot judges took that away.

You might be right. I guess Biden still got the nomination after scrutiny on his racist gaffes. 

I remember that he had racists gaffes. I do not remember what they were.  I chalked it up to him being an old fart at the time and didn't think he was racist.

She gave a bad/terrible answer to a question. It will/could likely cost her the nomination. It doesn't automatically make her a racist.

Why would it cost her the nomination? People will forget about it in two weeks. That said ,she is so far behind it probably won't matter.

Rappaport saying that Harbaugh offered a 10 year $125 million contract to stay at Michigan, with a clause that he can't pursue an NFL job this off-season.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the SEC and BIG10 keep adding all the legit programs and those 2 conferences break off and for a new higher class of football that resembles NFL format. 

I agree. Maybe 2 or 3 years away.

Why penalize and suspend someone at the beginning of the year?  Ok, well why penalize and suspend him again near the end of the season?  And now why bring up old stuff from years ago that are allegedly level 1 & level 2 allegations while you prepare your team for the CFB playoffs?  All in the same season.

 

Why?

 

I'm no Michigan fan or Harbaugh fan.  

 

If this was your neighbor, and see the humbling punishment he has taken, and this comes up now, you want to know why is this happening a 3rd time, preparing to win a championship and keep his team focused.

 

To me, This is a search and campaign to persecute a person over and over and hopefully destroy him.  You definitely do not want him or his team around. And that's not 

It takes the NCAA forever. This is the allegations for cheeseburgergate. a 3 game suspension by Harbaugh and 1 game for Moore were already served. Those suspensions will factor into whateve sabre the NCAA decides to rattle next year. With FSU about to implode the ACC, the NCAA may no longer govern Div 1 football soon, at least not for the power 2, so the punishment for signgate may not make it out in time. I do agree with you that Harbuagh is disliked by the NCAA. He pushes too many boundaries like satellite summer camps. I am pretty sure he doesn't respect them either. That is why after every suspension he likes to make a statement about paying the players.

I agree that the suit is really just about forcing a settlement.

A settlement that will set the bar for Miami and others to get out. And probably for less since FSU leaving devalues the conference. I wonder if ESPN and others  will renegotiate the contracts to keep it together or if they want the super conferences.
