I’m seriously enjoying these little drops every 8-12 hours. I’m a full on junkie for this right now.
Cannot wait for tomorrow.

Move all remaining scUM games to away (or neutral site) games for the remainder of the year.
Let 'em play, just somewhere else, and let 'em lose the revenue.
Simple. They thought TCU was going to lose the Big XII CG. They had scouted Tennesee in person like 2-3 weeks earlier. The Vols were #2 in the CFP poll at the time.Big 12 championship was a week after The Game. Absolutely possible for someone to have gone and scouted that ahead of time, especially being that TCU was ranked #2 at that time.
Clearly they worked to cover their bases with potential future opponents ( See, Georgia and B1G mid tier teams) it would be a huge oversight by them to have taken TCU for granted.
I'm not saying that couldn't have happened. But when you uncover massive cheating, people that devious tend to leave no stone unturned.
By the way, a little bit of contrast from Franklin’s answer - Matt Rhule took the high road and turned it into a discussion on helmet mics.
But he’s new here so I see some toeing the line. Good on Frankling speaking out to the extent he can right now.
(Rhule isn’t wrong. Just again, contrasting answers.)
5.9 ppg allowed is freaking HISTORIC. The 1973 Ohio State defense (one of the greatest Ds in history) gave up 5.7 ppg, and they gave up 10 in the tie to TTUN, which skewed the average UP. The 1996 Buckeyes gave up 10.9 ppg. The 1998 Buckeyes gave up 11.8ppg. This TTUN shit is pretty much unprecedented in modern football.Also, in the 7 prior seasons that Jesse Minter was DC, he allowed ~30 ppg, including 35.8 ppg at Vanderbilt in 2021. Now, a lot of those seasons were at shit schools, but needless to say, he wasn't some sort of up-and-coming defensive savant making waves.
Suddenly he goes to Michigan and is only allowing 16.1 ppg in '22, and 5.9 ppg so far in '23. For reference, the only other time when Jesse ran a defense that gave up less than 26.5 ppg was in 2012 at Indiana State.
