ttun Shenanigans, Arguments, and Emasculated Cucks (2019 thread)

scUM Defender of the Faith demonstrates Michigan Man's perfect combination of arrogance and stupidity.

I just want to reiterate my theory that Michigan won the Rashan Gary sweepstakes by paying his mom.

So it’s probably technically true that Rashan himself was offered $300k by some other school and he turned it down, because that other school(s) offered the wrong person and his mom told him to say no and to go to Michigan for “nothing.”

I’m sure he didn’t protest too much since Michigan makes no demands of effort or performance from its players due to expectations or competition and he fit right in.

As the writer simply asks:

Lost in the wording of Dildok’s statement is that the players they recruit really are good enough to play for Alabama, Clemson, etc...

They just don’t SIGN those players. Those players go elsewhere. Alabama, Clemson, etc...

That is why they still can’t compete with Wisconsin.

Also, as these things bubble up from time to time, never forget to bump this.

The latest controversy started when Harbaugh, who was hired from the University of San Diego in December, told the San Francisco Examiner in May that Michigan lowers its admissions standards for football players and advises them to take easy classes.

Harbaugh made his comments in defense of his new employer.

“College football needs Stanford,” Harbaugh told the Examiner. “We’re looking not for student-athletes, but scholar-athletes. No other school can carry this banner. The Ivy League schools don’t have enough weight. Other schools which have good academic reputations have ways to get borderline athletes in and keep them in.”

A week later, Harbaugh told the Ann Arbor (Mich.) News, “I would use myself as an example. I came in there, wanted to be a history major, and I was told early on in my freshman year that I shouldn’t be, that it takes too much time, too much reading, that I shouldn’t be a history major and play football.”

And also this.

Michigan ripped into its former star quarterback this week, essentially calling him a traitor. “He’s not a Michigan man,” tailback Mike Hart was quoted as saying in Thursday’s Detroit News. “I wish he had never played here. But it is what it is.”

Don't lose an opportunity in any of this holy hand grenade of Antiochian academics conversation to remind them that their team just got it's shit pushed in by kids from a much better school of whom, none were ever recruited by Alabama.

Holy Hand Grenade of Antiochian is the best adjective ever used to describe TSUN academic conversations. I’ll give you a parenthetical citation when I use it, which will be a lot as so many conversations around here fall under that heading.

Early morning laugh, always take a gander at mgoboard.

It's amazing how many of them are so sure they are going to beat iowa.

I think they actually pulled some false optimism out of beating Rutgers. DFBIA gonna DFBIA

I'm a big Iowa fan this week. Not to state the obvious.

You’re good

If stating the obvious was frowned upon here I would’ve been banned in 2004

It's funny because you could just go on and on... Boubacar Cissoko, Grant Perry, Brendan Gibbons, Taylor Lewan. Model citizens and Rhodes Scholars, all of 'em.

23.6. Better than I thought it would be to be honest. Hockey's got some splainin' to do though.

I don't know, Shea may play out his ass against the rest of the Big Ten schools on their schedule until the Bucks arrive in town. The Big Ten teams other than OSU and Wiscy are pretty average. The question will then become do they extend the contract on someone who can't beat Ohio State or Notre Dame?

23.6. Better than I thought it would be to be honest. Hockey's got some splainin' to do though.

curious to know how the scores break down when comparing incoming scholarship players versus walk-ons. per the article, 31 players' scores accounted for the 23.6 average. the 2019 recruiting class consisted of 17 players. i bet the 14 walk-ons (numbers probably off, though) had an average of at least 26. i'd be surprised if the incoming players on scholarship had an average score of more than 20.5. moreover, if osu instead had a 25-player class, the average would certainly be lower than 23.6.

doubt the ttun average is dissimilar, though their average when including walk-ons is probably a little bit higher than ours. certainly not enough of a difference for harbaugh, dudek, bacon et al. to claim off-the-field superiority.
