re: Sanctions for Michigan?

Posted by Uncommon Idea on 12/11/25 at 3:20 pm to
I don't believe a coach banging a subordinate employee is a NCAA violation.

Though, I wouldn't put it past the NCAA to attempt to punish it.
It feels like something maybe isn't adding up depending on how long "months" is determined . . .

I've seen a timeline that Michigan found out in mid-November and then did a 2 week investigation and then just now got new information.

The above seems to suggest rumors were circulating by at least this summer and why wouldn't the stalking accusation come out then?

My guess - things were fine this summer despite rumors - hence the united front.

Then Moore did something to piss her off and so she ratted him out to the administration.

*Alternatively, other tips/reports (early Dec rumors) came into the administration and she decided to set herself up for a nice sexual harassment/hostile workplace lawsuit against UM since she thought they were caught.

It's going to be interesting to see the "official" timeline that UM releases on how and when things were known and how much scrutiny/corroboration there is for whatever gets released by Moore and his ex-assistant/side piece.

It seems like anybody above the AD (and maybe even the AD) has a pretty easy out by saying something like: "We were actively investigating this situation.... taking great care to be fair to all parties involved....."



Then I hope they didn't talk about any conclusions, knowledge, incidents, etc, on texts or emails. I expect someone will be filing FOIA requests for those sort of communications looking for a coverup.

It wouldn't be the first time someone said something digitally and got caught.

Which QB would you want?

QB A:
369/543 - 68% - 4169 yards - 24 TDs - 11 INTs - 97.0 Rating - 19 sacks

QB B:
196/331 - 59.2% - 2241 yards - 16 TDs - 4 INTs - 90.7 Rating - 36 sacks

Lane is an opportunist. Had he known this was coming, he would’ve waited.


To use Alabama as leverage. I don't know if Alabama could pay him enough money to deal with the Alabama fans again. But it might get him another 1.5-2 million/year from another school.

I'd assume Kiffin thinks he can fool the LSU fans if things don't go his way fast enough; Alabama fans are so desperate to cling to the Saban years (and their dislike of Lane), that he'd have less slack to get things going his way.

I can't believe Michigan is moving that quickly and that Alabama is moving that quickly in response while preparing for the playoff.

Especially with reports of a Michigan Board of Regents meeting tomorrow to discuss their AD.

Yeah, but it might cause complications regarding the firing being for cause.

I.E. - Is it really "for cause" if they tacitly allowed him to continue coaching AFTER they knew about the infraction?

Following a University investigation, credible evidence was found that Coach Moore engaged in an inappropriate relationship with a male staff member. I’m told multiple incidents that took place in the locker room were reported to the AD and President by players.

I saw another tweet from about a week ago that made the same accusation but this might show a bit more about Warde Manuel.

And while we're on that stuff, Vecna goes all Magneto and pulls the pins on a couple of soldier's grenades, THEN yeets them to some fuel tanks, and they're not immediately blown to shreds? They survive the fragging, then the massive explosion, and remain intact long enough to still be screaming in agony as they burn alive.


I don't think that was them screaming and flailing on the ground. I think that was Sullivan, aka the military guy from Season 4 - it's hard to see but I think the guy screaming on the ground has that vest that he was wearing (just to differentiate him from the other soldiers). The problem is you can't see it very well because it's about as dark as the battle outside Winterfell in that scene.
quote:

I have a feeling since they already used the de-aging stuff for Will, and all the time travel stuff being floated, that we’re going to have the gang going back to the night Will went missing or something. And we’re going to have crappy CGI younger versions of the actors play a role in the story.

I think the Duffers talked about how that was the first stuff that was filmed due to how much they needed to work on it and that it was very expensive. So I don't know if they'd bother (or could afford it with all the other CGI being used).

quote:

So why would Vecna give Will these powers to use against him? Is it some sort of Vader Luke situation where he thinks he can turn him?

He pretty much said that; he was using children (I guess as auxiliary power sources? - sorta like Peter Quill in GOTG2?) because they were easily broken and controlled.

I assume the process to use them (aka the tendrils in the mouth) alters them in some way and Will was just the first and finally managed to have the control/self confidence/will to access the "power."

The part where everyone is physically is in the walled off circle of the upside down. Dustin mapped it out. The center is the old lab with Sarah Connor and Mrs. I-can-make-you-see-what-I-want-you-to-see 008.
I don't know if he Upside Down military base is at the center. It seems that the old Hawkins Lab is at the center; it's labeled DOE (for Department of Energy) on the map which was the cover for the lab.

quote:

I've seen this theory floating around that the whole show was a D&D campaign and it ends with them still as kids sitting in Mike's basement playing.

I think the Duffers have mentioned this and said that it would ruin the emotional impact of the story.

Also, the overarching D&D campaign involved several in-game D&D campaigns, a separate Russian expedition for some characters, changing schools, and a vacation/moving to California along with abductions and various encounters with federal agents? That seems out there even for a D&D campaign.

I'd really want to know if anyone broached the obvious subject. Something like asking where/when they met.

That seems like a nice grenade to liven up the family gathering. :lol:

You can't get much worse than that.


I don't know - taking 2 sacks for 27 yards is astonishingly bad. He had a sack that lost 13 yards and then another sack that lost 14 yards.:wha:

For a comparison - Lamar Jackson only lost 26 yards on 5 sacks.

And the kicker is that this is something you got to see in college from Shedeur. This is one of those bad habits he needs to end quickly.
He's not wrong given the play you embedded.

Embed this play and everyone goes "Oh yeah, that's familiar!"

That sack was on Trey Pipkins III (and to some extent Herbert).

Trey Pipkins III couldn't stop BJ Green II (a rookie) once Herbert tried to retreat in the pocket.

Trevor Penning seemed to have Josh Hines-Allen (7th year pro) fairly well locked up. Now, give it time for a 2nd effort and who knows . . .

Trevor Penning was just benched for Austin Deculus. The experience lasted 3.1 quarters. Hoping for better post-BYE



I only watched the embedded play.

Based on some interviews around that time, I am pretty sure it was Cam Jordan.


From what I heard, it was either 2 or 3 players who went to speak to Mrs. Benson about Dennis Allen. I heard this from someone who heard about the meeting and that Dennis Allen was going to be gone, win or lose, against the Panthers.

How Loomis still has her confidence after he was reportedly against firing Dennis Allen last year is somewhat surprising.
So it was filed and accommodations made (MBB had a watcher/handler on set) before filming started on the final season and NOTHING leaked until now?

For context, filming started on January 5th, 2024. That's a long time for nothing to leak.

And it being first reported by The Daily Mail doesn't help the credibility. They can sometimes provide some interesting perspectives, but they also seem to have . . . a lax publication process.
