The day fast approaches. Soon it will arrive and I am filled with anticipation, nervous energy, the nagging sense of dread, and yet the gift of optimism that only comes from opportunity. As I reflect, the emotions flood back as if it were only yesterday, yet it was 50 years ago. You see, in a few short days, on the eve of The Game, it will be exactly 50 years to the day. The following day will arrive and I can’t help but see the similarities. While some things are slightly different, all the important details are the same.

As it was, number 1 facing number 4, both teams undefeated, the opportunity for a Big Ten championship and National title hung in the balance. As it was then, much is the same today. All I really wanted was to Beat Blue. The Big Ten and National titles would be small consolation without dispatching our hated rival. I knew what was at stake. A year of remorse and angst in defeat versus the joy and excitement of victory. I would like to say I prefer the joy and excitement of victory, but I often wonder if I really desire the pain and humiliation Michigan must endure in defeat.

This year, when we face Michigan, will be exactly 50 years and a day. 50 years and a day to the moment we showed Michigan how to correctly steal signs. By the team, on the field of play, for the whole world to see. Giving our opponent the chance to respond, that day, and settle the score on the field.

It was March 24th, 1973 when All-American tackle John Hicks led the Buckeyes on to the field. And then proceeded to tear down the M Club/Go Blue sign becoming the greatest sign stealing scandal college football history. A history that seemingly comes full circle this year. I must admit, I’d love to see the Buckeyes tear down that sign once again. To let that team and staff know “We’re here, it’s time to settle this on the field, and we expect payment in full”. Yeah it’s different 50 years later … but no it ain’t … it’s exactly the damn same!

Go Buck! Beat Blue!

I saw this and I could hear the voice of Bob Ufer. “They had the audacity, the unmitigated gall!”

That would give the NCAA more ammo to rule a Lack of Institutional Control on the program.

True, but I don't think they'd pause long enough to consider that. Simple Jim is a toxic cocktail of low IQ and massive ego. Ono is a smirking little cunt whose primary motivation is being driven by the social media applause from the fanbase. The entire university culture from the students to the alumni to the faculty to the donors is based on self-anointed purity and an inability to ever conceive that they could be the bad guys.

Headline on ESPN (NCAAF): The sign-stealing allegations are a (mostly) harmless, fun CFB scandal. Michigan -- and their haters -- should embrace it

Dear Michigan, embrace being the villain. It's more fun for everyone that way

Villains make sports more fun. Especially when it's for a mostly harmless (and funny!) offense like Michigan's alleged sign stealing. So the Wolverines should embrace their new role and the rest of us should enjoy it.

Why Michigan should embrace sign-stealing villain role​

If Connor Stalions did what he has been accused of, then he and Michigan will be punished. And they should be. But this also isn't a crime. It isn't even a betting scandal or rampant recruiting violations with bags of cash being passed around. No one here has been hurt or even arrested.

In a weird way, it's actually a bit refreshing. A genuine on-field football controversy that has also become a deliciously stupid game of gloved finger pointing. Cheating is bad. That we can all agree on. And in the end, the truth will be revealed, and the official comeuppance, whatever form that takes, will be handed down from above. But that's going to take a while.

Between now and whenever that might be, everyone dressed in blue can't do anything but play football games and wait. So, why waste that time fighting the outside world when you could be standing on the sideline spot where Stalions is no longer allowed, from Ann Arbor all the way into the postseason, arms outstretched like the baddies you now are and bellowing, "BWAHAHAHAHA!"

Oh yeah, mostly harmless

as long as you give zero fucks about the integrity of the game

What happens if he shows up and ignores a potential suspension, but then the league tells the refs not to start the game as long as he’s out there? They could have a stand-off until…they drag him out? scUM officials have him removed? scUM has to forfeit?

I will be bitterly disappointed if this does not happen.

Mark my prediction last night. He's going to ignore the suspension and be on the sideline. And that smirking little cunt they call a President will back him 100%.

Im not sure he gets away with that at an away game.
Would definitely work at home. But at PSU? Security may just have other ideas.
Penn State can bar him from trespassing based on his suspension. And then LEO is involved.

But if they're at home when these sanctions come down, i fully expect them to violate it.

Puts the B1G in a precarious position. Obvious call is to then call off the game and declare a forfeit, but they have to take into consideration the safety of the opposing team and fans. Would you want to be sitting in the Big Hole when the pa announcer declares that the game is off and being forfeited after Ono has spent the previous month whipping them into a frenzy of victimhood?
