Am I getting this story right? Purdue had a student for some contest nail a 40 yarder during timeout which was followed by their kicker missing the 39 yarder right after?

Yeah FG kicking has been rough. Believe we’re 3-9 on the season now. Should be a priority to address in the portal for sure.

I saw some random prognosticator on social media back in August that had Purdue going 9-3 and finishing second in the West. Wish I could remember who it was. 

Yikes that’s a bad take even for a Purdue homer. I think most rational fans would’ve said 6-6 was the high water mark. Tough schedule plus Brohm left the cupboard pretty bare.

Weird stuff out of Ann Arbor. I don't know a team or coach who doesn't try do anything to get an edge but Sparty thought about not playing because of sign stealing?

I really believe this might be it for Harbaugh at Michigan. Not because he specifically wants to leave Michigan but it seems similar to when Pete Carroll left USC and went back to the pros.

This thing isn't going away and if Jim wants to jump in the car and head a couple hours West I know of a city and a team who would love to have him back in the NFL.

And if things don’t work out for him there, it’s back to CFB by becoming the head coach of the Indiana Hoosiers.

The Washington Post has more

The sign-stealing investigation threatening to disrupt Michigan’s football season began after an outside investigative firm approached the NCAA with documents and videos the firm said it had obtained from computer drives maintained and accessed by multiple Michigan coaches, according to two people familiar with the matter, evidence that suggests the scandal’s impact could broaden beyond the suspension of one low-level assistant.

These people spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak about an ongoing NCAA investigation. They did not disclose who hired the outside firm that approached the NCAA. The NCAA, the Big Ten and Michigan declined to comment.

 

Last week, the Big Ten confirmed published reports that the NCAA was investigating allegations that Michigan had sent people connected to its football program to attend games of opponents and videotape coaches as they signaled in plays, in violation of the rules that govern college football. Michigan suspended Connor Stalions, a football assistant ESPN reported was suspected of overseeing the alleged sign-stealing operation. Coach Jim Harbaugh, in a statement, denied any knowledge of or involvement in any such scheme.

 

Stalions played a major role in overseeing and coordinating sign-stealing efforts, the outside investigation found, but the firm’s evidence suggested he wasn’t acting alone. The outside firm did not present any evidence directly linking Harbaugh to the sign-stealing operation, according to the people with knowledge. In the days since Stalions’s name circulated as a key figure in the investigation, videos and photos circulated on social media taken during Michigan games showing him standing near coaches, including the team’s defensive and co-offensive coordinators.

 

Among the pieces of evidence the firm presented, these people said, was a detailed schedule of Michigan’s planned sign-stealing travel for the rest of this season, listing opponents’ schedules, which games Michigan scouts would attend, and how much money was budgeted for travel and tickets to scout each team.

 

The opponents targeted the most on this schedule, these people said, were not surprising. Atop the list was Ohio State, Michigan’s top rival in the Big Ten, and scouts planned to attend as many as eight games, costing more than $3,000 in travel and tickets. Next on the list was Georgia, a potential Michigan opponent in the College Football Playoff, with four or five games scheduled for in-person scouting and video-recording, also costing more than $3,000 in travel and tickets.

 

In total, these people said, Michigan’s sign-stealing operation expected to spend more than $15,000 this season sending scouts to more than 40 games played by 10 opponents. According to the university’s public salary disclosure records, Stalions, listed as an administrative specialist in the athletics department, made $55,000 in 2022.

Michigan State investigation concludes ex-coach Mel Tucker violated the university's sexual misconduct policy

By Dean Straka
 
3h ago1 min read

A Michigan State investigation has determined former coach Mel Tucker violated the university's sexual harassment policy, the school announced Wednesday. The ruling, which was made available in a 73-page report obtained by USA Today, concluded Tucker sexually harassed and exploited rape survivor and activist Brenda Tracy. 

According to the report, Tucker's unwanted advances toward Tracy included masturbating during a phone conversation without her consent in 2022. Tucker, who was suspended and later fired by Michigan State in September after the allegations came to public light, had admitted to interactions with Tracy but contended they were "mutual" and "private." 

"In sum, considering all available evidence, the Resolution Officer finds, by a preponderance of the evidence, that there is sufficient evidence to conclude that [Tucker] subjected [Tracy] to unwelcome conduct based on sex when [Tucker] FaceTime video called Claimant without a shirt on," the report concluded, per USA Today. "When [Tucker] attempted to meet up with [Tracy] alone following the Spring Game; and when [Tucker] non-consensually masturbated and used graphic, sexual language on a phone call with [Tracy]."

I think Purdue sucks more than we do.

Sure they do. Nebraska is 5-2 and one away from bowl eligibility and their fans are thinking progress within the program. Helps when you play Illinois, Northwestern, and Purdue in successive weeks and schedule the nonconference accordingly.

I guess the Old Oaken Bucket is going to be a toilet bowl this year. 

How in the hell can Kansas and Louisville and other teams attract coaches but IU can't. Back up the truck. 

 

You have to look at the person who did the hiring and for giving him that ridiculous extension/buy out without any wording in the contract about wins and losses. If I were an athletic director performance on field/court would be the determining factor as to whether a coach would get extensions, buyouts or keep their jobs.

Look at what Kalen is doing with Penix at UW.  We had them!  What the hell happened?

Maybe/maybe not. 
 

We at least looked competitive today. PUke had 195 total yards v a much lesser opponent.

Record is the same other than they have a win in conference. I think if we were in the West, we would as well.

Offense is a mess and I wouldn’t be terribly upset if we made a chance at OC tbh. And I realize you probably don’t care haha.
