he's right. volnugs sounds like such a whiny b*tch on twitter trying to flip the UM story into the reason why we lost to USCjr. They played really well, and then our star QB got hurt, letting them finish us off. We just got beat. It makes our fanbase look like little babies screaming conspiracy. Frankly, I don't think Beamer and co are competent or clever enough to even pull this kind of thing off. You'd think they would have used it a hell of a lot earlier last season instead of waiting until the last two games.

Already been caught cheating Once before for getting another teams signs.

Can’t use what you don’t have. So didn’t have it earlier. Why?

Because UM was getting signs to use against teams they were gonna play,
And later teams that were threats in the playoffs.

Never thought TCU would make it and didn’t have that cheat sheet on them.

I could see ND and USC contacting him since they’ll need QBs next year, and they could sell him on their OL being better than ours next year, I mean, they both return more, but it’s prob fake.

This response is comical, filled with assumption, and deficient in reading comprehension.

Gotta love the automatic questioning of fandom when someone articulates an idea about the coach, players, or program that isn’t “we support them unequivocally, check our brain at the door, and don’t dare make an observation other than GO VAWLS”.

And by-the-way, at no point was I “running down the coaches”.

I enjoy the fact that coaches are human, have tendencies and preferences, and at times have to work outside those tendencies and preferences because of what they are working with.

They aren’t robots.
That’s interesting to me.

But to make you feel better, here we go…

“GO VAWLS! Y’all are perfect! I apologize to y’all for ever thinking anything different! I hereby forfeit my fandom! As a matter of fact, I’ll donate my life savings to NIL in the name of GVol1966 because his superior fandom deserves to be memorialized forever!”

Thanks I’m glad you recognize fandom Greatness, because you are ignorant when it comes coaches.

Now run along, you bore me !

I hate it but how can anyone honestly say that they didn't expect things to get worse after the NIL deals started. It has always been about money to some extent but think about it, EVERY school has done whatever they can to get an edge to win. Some were just so much better than the others. Now that the playing field has been leveled to SOME extent the pressure is on to get results....now. Instead of going in years ago and trying to clean all the cheating up they decided to ignore it due to TV money, Alumni money, back room payoffs and on and on. Now they have given the people that want to get an edge by whatever means necessary a whole new avenue to do just that.

As far as stealing signals, this has been going on for ever in every sport, maybe not to the extent of the last incident but think about baseball. Almost every team from Little League on up has somebody watching the base coaches and if a runner is on second he his trying to get the pitch signal and relay it to the batter. Is it technically fair no, does it happen, absolutely.....everyday, they make it less offensive by calling it Gamesmanship.

After the last week I think this forum has lost its condescending "Ventured to the FF" post privileges forever lol.

An elaborate week long QAnon style breakdown of why the SEC is fixing games would make the FF blush.

Nobody has a problem with stealing signs IN GAME. Sending staffers to future opponents' games to steal signs is the issue here. I don't see how there are so many posts like this one acting like all they did was try to decipher signals while playing the game against that team.

Florida did the same in the first half of that game as well.

Pretty much 1 quarter.

You can mostly narrow down both the UF and Bama losses to a singular TERRIBLE quarter.

Even a bad quarter and we could've won both. But getting roundly destroyed for -17 points in a single quarter is tough to come back from.

Need to play 60 min games down the stretch, even if they're at 85%. That'll do. Just no midgame collapses.

The only way we’ll ever find out if SC knew our defensive signals is if it turns out Michigan gave LSU Alabama’s signals last year too.

… AND Alabama didn’t also have an army of people going around stealing signals.

So, we’ll probably never find out for sure.

So,
I'm no Olineman, but isn't this formation a bit illegal? They all are an entire body behind the center, almost two yards behind the ball...

It’s not the highest image quality, but it looks like the offense may be wearing Alabama uniforms, in which case, this looks like a textbook case of defensive… something.
