We’ve all seen that terrible no call. And if we lost because of that play I’d agree. But that play didn’t blow a double digit lead and cause us to score 0 in the second half. You guys can blame them all you want but we choked hard.

It's a lot easier to choke when someone is ramming chicken bones down your throat. . .

It's a lot easier to choke when someone has their hands around your neck. . .

Its a lot easier to choke when someone ties your hands behind your back, duct tapes a firehose to your face, and constantly squirts you at fullpower. . .

Its a lot easier to choke when the lifeguard is actually trying to drown you. . .

I would love it if there was a Volnation podcast. The first interview should be Ulysses. For those that do not remember the posts he shared about his younger years they were both entertaining and heartbreaking. He's the real McCoy. While I get a little nervous with his 0-100 temper and reactions, I love the fact that he is one of the most genuine posters on this site. He is what he is and he doesn't change based on the direction of the wind. That is rare nowadays.

Also underrated is that if you want him to calm down, just post that little pony and his entire demeanor changes.

Here’s an out there thought… Does anyone think that maybe multiple teams we have played this year have used the stolen offensive signals to slow down our offense? I know I know it’s probably because Joe sucks, but it’s certainly something to think about. Tomorrow night might be the first night we find out. I’m sure no one is going to be trying to steal signals with everything going on right now. If the offense all of a sudden looks completely different, it sure is gonna make you wonder.

We just aren’t as good at offensing this year as last year. Shoot, we scored 38 on a team that had our playbook.

Back to football. The one criticism I have about our coach is that we seem to not have improved with discipline in terms of penalties. We were penalized less in 2021 (year 1) than we were in year 2 and trending year 3. That is my only concern with him. That is also common amongst player's coaches.

2021 = We are on the left and opponents penalties to the right. Basically level in 2021

2022 = Opponents were penalized more than us, but we were still penalized more than 2021.

This year = We are better in every facet of the game except passing and will have the same number of penalties as last year when the bowl game is played. But look at the disparity from us being flagged vs opponents. This is what statisticians call a major red flag. For those of you calling people names for being conspiracy theorists, you are arguing against facts and data. That is not smart.

We are on pace for 104 penalties against for 872 yards. Roughly same as last year with a better running game, defense, and special teams. Our opponents are on pace for 70 penalties for 529 yards. How is this even possible?

it looks teams would have live signs and fake signs…. sort of like in baseball.

I would guess that in our case we have 3 signal callers. They probably have something that tells the team which one is live. However I would guess that a trained eye could tell who is live based on some sort of patter recognition.

As cautious as he is about who is at practice…. info that gets out…. what he lets the media know…. You would think it would be pretty complicated to steal our signals.

I thought those three staffers in red green and blue and the black backdrop were all giving signs to confuse the other side? One actual signaler and two dummies. Or are those guys communicating to different position groups?

because they were there...on the field...playing.

It wasnt Atlanta FC out there, or Lady Vols. It was our football team. Not sure who else would play in our stead.

That’s about as dumb a reason for blaming them, as it would be blaming a victim of a drive by shooting for being out on the street when some idiot decides to just randomly shoot someone.

C.J. Stroud: Ohio State 'Had an Idea' That Jim Harbaugh, Michigan Were Stealing Signs

Former Ohio State star C.J. Stroud weighed in on the ongoing sign-stealing scandal surrounding the Michigan football program. Stroud told reporters Wednesday…

So will anyone who covers the NFL have the courage to begin the push to publicly declare that Harbaugh should be banned from the NFL?

There are three simultaneous cases involving his tenure, one has impugned last year's national championship, and he is just going to waltz into a new job.

Not that the NFl has any standards. 😂

Well, actually (now that you have me thinking about it), rigged officiating is even bigger, but it is too big to be permitted to be investigated or covered by the media.

Even this signal-stealing case is too big to be investigated or coveted, if and only if, the question of how it impacted us and thus altered the composition of the playoffs is included. The TCU angle is safe because it falsely teaches "a happy ending." Which amounts to covering up the most damning implication of the chain of events.

I would be glad to be proven wrong, but it would involve impugning the integrity of last year's playoff and championship.

Wouldn't that mean we should have been in the top four instead of Michigan?
