College Football

It has been an honor shitposting with you all this season, pioneers in this strange virtual land. I reckon the overlap between "people who are into college football enough to obsess over it on the internet" and "people who will bail on the top CFB discussion forum for an experiment in non-profit social media" is pretty small, but here we are. Glad to have you around.

Pretty much all of you have absolutely terrible taste in football teams, by the way.

Travis was taken to the hospital. No update in the article, but he's almost certainly done for the season, hopefully not longer.

Alright y'all, let's cast that ballot! (And I cleared the previous responses this time)

This thread is for discussing anything about the slate of college football games on Saturday, November 18th.

Post your general observations about the day's games or even use this as a Game Day Thread if the thread for the game you're following has no other participants.

The juiciest bit of the article:

According to Yahoo Sports, while Partridge is not alleged to have known about the sign-stealing operation, he is alleged to have covered up evidence after the fact. The Big Ten was prepared to reduce Harbaugh's suspension from three games to two before the information on Partridge's involvement was discovered, according to Sports Illustrated.

It's like no one has learned anything from Watergate. The cover up is worse than the crime!

I don't know if they will offer him (I do think it would be a slam-dunk hire), but if so I'm 99% sure he'd take it. I think I heard him say at one point it's a dream job for him and he is an East Texas guy.

A couple days old, but better late than never.

Also, I did not realize he's only 38 years old, wow.

The B1G investigation settled outside of court (the hearing for which was scheduled for tomorrow).

Michigan's statement:

"This morning, the University, Coach Harbaugh, and the Big Ten resolved their pending litigation ... The Conference agreed to close its investigation, and the University and Coach Harbaugh agreed to accept the three-game suspension. Coach Harbaugh, with the University's support, decided to accept this sanction to return the focus to our student-athletes and their performance on the field. The Conference has confirmed that it is not aware of any information suggesting Coach Harbaugh's involvement in the allegations. The University continues to cooperate fully with the NCAA's investigation."

B1G's statement:

"The Big Ten Conference's commitment to student-athletes, sportsmanship and the Commissioner's duty to protect the integrity of competition will never waver ... Today's decision by the University of Michigan to withdraw its legal challenge against the Conference's November 10th Notice of Disciplinary Action is indicative of the high standards and values that the Conference and the University seek to uphold. The University of Michigan is a valued member of the Big Ten Conference and the Conference will continue to work cooperatively with the University and the NCAA during this process."

Sherrone Moore expected to remain the gameday acting HC (unless the FCC swoops in and fines him, lol)
