re: Sign stealing in football should be allowed and encouraged

Agreed. I really fail to see the problem here. Any dickwad with time and money could DVR a game and decipher a team's entire playbook from their home if they really cared to.
Scheme is only half the battle anyway, and it's not like the other part of the equation (talent) is some grand mystery to opposing teams like the playbook is. If I know LSU's lining up with Leonard Fournette in the backfield, does it really matter if I know he's gonna run up the middle or do a jet sweep? frick no because he's going to truck my guy either way.

My house.
1. It’s currently illegal have communication inside of helmets in college football.
2. Do you realize how much is made and spent on college football? These teams already spend thousands a year for their coaches to have headsets. What makes you think they’re too cheap to pay for one that goes in the helmet?

It will probably be sometime after you stop throwing a childish tantrum about the whole thing

Sign stealing during the game is fair. Scouting beforehand is not. There are too many limitations on how much time college athletes can spend on sports each week - there isn't enough time to allocate to changing and memorizing new signs.

This has nothing on LSU fans acting like the SEC and Alabama collude to keep LSU down every year.
There is a portion of this fan base that is absolutely the dumbest human beings walking this earth. I think 99% of that portion of the fan base post on here unfortunately. It is what it is. I'm not denying that existence, but that doesn't change what I said about OSU fans.

Then ban scouting all together. Sounds pretty dumb right?

I doubt it. If you were going to understand it, that would've happened by now.

It doesn't need to change anything. That wasn't the point of that comment.
As far as what you said about Ohio State fans, you don't know enough about the history of the rivalry to speak on it.

Easy way to get around sign stealing...get ready. A number system and wrist bands. You can still be no-huddle and the wrist cards can change every week. There is literally no need to signal the entire offense/defense.

In baseball, we continually changed signals. Not sure why football coaches cant evolve around this. Its like card counting in 21, if you outsmart the house you should win, but they rig the gam.
signals in football is a little more complicated than baseball
and it is not like baseball is immune to sign stealing scandals

Almost as sad as how childish you and the rest of the Ohio st fanbase are.

Nothing regarding the history of the rivalry changes the fact that you guys are acting like baby back bitches about this situation.

First. The history of OSU/Michigan has nothing to do with me thinking OSU's fans reactions are funny.
Second. You quickly threw Bama/LSU at me. You are qualified to talk about that history, but I can't speak on OSU/Michigan?
Let's not be a hypocrit.

As just about every coach has stated, there is BIG difference between the two.
Football coaches state a lot of stupid shite to try to make it seem somebody else's fault.
Get a better plan, and better signals.
