re: I don't understand why there is so much support for Harbaugh/Michigan regarding cheating.

Here’s the deal, before they hired this guy, Michigan averages losing AT LEAST 3 games a year. The year before, they lost 4 and there were rumblings that Michigan may be moving in a different direction from Harbaugh. Since they have hired Stallions, they have lost a grand total of 3 games in 3 years! They are averaging scoring over 6 more points a game and giving up 6 less points a game. That’s a 12 point swing. You are really telling me there was nothing gained from doing this?

Before they hired a guy that has been extremely successful everywhere he’s been?
I’m supposed to believe a guy that led San Diego to 11-1 records in year 2 and 3, led Stanford to 12-1, and went to 3 straight NFC championships, and he’s only doing good at one of the most storied universities in the country b/c he’s stealing signals?
Give me a fricking break.

Les Miles literally telegraphed every offensive play and we won a national championship and almost another while doing that. No I don’t think stealing signals makes that big of a difference. If you do your homework you know what the offense will do anyway most of the time.
And again, change your fricking signals more regularly.

This is retarded. Talent wins. Every team, every coach even the field because they do their due diligence and know what's coming.

As every coach has ever said, it's knowing what's coming and not being able to stop it. That separates the wheat from the chaff...talent.

It isn't knowing a play here or there, which everyone already knows, and may be misdirection from the opponent...so it's still just guesswork and guessing right a few plays a game doesn't beat talent if you're outmatched. Otherwise, Army would be #1 every year...pretty sure they have excellent Intel and the backing of the government.

I’m glad you mentioned talent. Here are Michigans recruiting classes during Harbaughs time at Michigan, per rivals:
2015: 50th
2016: 4th
2017: 4th
2018: 24th
2019: 10th
2020: 11th
2021: 10th
2022: 9th
2023: 18th.
So, by your own admission, you think it’s the talent, yet Rivals would actually prove to you that, based on rankings, they have averaged 13th in the past 6 years, which should be the majority of the players they currently have. If you look at what those top 5 classes did, they were averaging at least 3 losses/year. Yet somehow I should believe that, even though the recruiting services say they should be in the top 15 in actual on-field production, they somehow miraculously become a top team all while recruiting worse than they did when they were only able to win at most 10 games?
