What would Bo have had to gain by protecting a guy he didn't hire? You also have to remember that in 1969, the constant media coverage did not exist. The firing would not have been covered.MWmetalhead wrote: ↑Fri Jun 11, 2021 5:52 amA fair question for sure, but that said, a kerfuffle with your newly hired head football coach shortly prior to the start of the season is perhaps something Canham wanted to avoid.
If even 1/10th of this is true then Michigan’s football program and anyone involved with or working under Bo needs to be put under a microscope. Including our resident captain oblivious of a head coach.Honeyman wrote: ↑Fri Jun 11, 2021 10:04 amAccording to the OL who spoke, Bo and other coaches used a trip to "Dr. Anal" as a scare tactic to the players. He mentioned one time he was so sick with a flu, coughing up blood, and still did not go in for treatment for fear of being raped. The speculations seemed that Bo knew this monster would clear his players to play on Saturday's though, so he kept him employed. Truly despicable.
It's seems pretty clear that Anderson was willing to rubber stamp clearing Bo's injured players to play. In lieu of payment, Bo just had to send the players he was responsible for to Anderson to be raped. Anything for the team, the team, the team.Matt wrote: ↑Fri Jun 11, 2021 6:42 amWhat would Bo have had to gain by protecting a guy he didn't hire?

I am just going to address the elephant in the room as far as Harbaugh.Honeyman wrote: ↑Thu Jun 10, 2021 8:23 pmExactly MCRF. I played high school basketball and was pretty much a bench warmer. But there is still a special bond there. The higher you go and more important the games, the stronger it is. As a member of a BT football powerhouse though, you know it was H***. Especially in those times.MotorCityRadioFreak wrote: ↑Thu Jun 10, 2021 8:10 pmNot to agree with Matt in any way, but it all depends on what team you are a part of as to whether you are "family" or not. I played competitively in baseball from when I was 5 to 19 and can tell you that team cohesion isn't always there. My undefeated team and senior year playing, yes, we were a family. A lot of other teams, especially the losing ones, not really.Honeyman wrote: ↑Thu Jun 10, 2021 7:51 pmNot sure on Harbaugh. I think it was obvious from the black WR's comments that the whole football team knew of the situation. If you've ever played competitive team sports (I'm guessing from the profile you have shown us all here, you have not) it's a very tight knit family. I would guess the entire team was aware. But Harbaugh does seem like a very odd bird. I could see him with zero friends, no close relationships on the team, and studying his playbook all the time. I guess it's possible he didn't know.Matt wrote: ↑Thu Jun 10, 2021 7:29 pmYou're the one calling me names and letting accusations fly. If you're going to take Matt Schembechler's word as the gospel, you should at least be doing a mea culpa on your Harbaugh comments.Honeyman wrote: ↑Thu Jun 10, 2021 6:46 pm“If I didn't do my part in preventing it from happening, then I’m responsible,” Matt Schembechler said. “Why now? The opportunity was there and society is ready to accept this. I don’t think as a culture we were ready to handle this in the 1970s.”
Of course Matt S. was telling the truth. Anybody who watched him speak could see his sincerity. Anybody but a Michigan slappy in denial like Mutt, that is.
The shame of the monster who was revered at the University as a pseudo-God is about to come crashing down. I just hope he can see what is happening to his "legacy" as he looks up from hell.
The point I made about your grossly overpaid and extreme disappointment of a football coach still stands though. His comments insulted many of the 850+ Michigan players that were abused. He has a title and a pulpit from which to speak, and many asholes such as yourself, will believe every word since he has "head coach" in his title....for now. Point is, if he was not abused, he should have realized that many others were, and should have kept his big mouth shut.
Regardless, Harbaugh knew and shut up by all accounts. That is wrong and enabling.
I could see Jimmy like a little girl plugging his ears with his fingers and not listening to reality though. "I CANT HEAR YOU!!!"
I am still a Michigan fan for now. But I want action by early August. An apology from the university would be nice for starters.Honeyman wrote: ↑Fri Jun 11, 2021 7:00 pmAfter reading the shit I did today and hearing that fat fucking idiot Jim Brandstatter spew his nonsense, it's good to know some Michigan fans have sense:

This is patently false.

The current Administration went out of their way during covid to manipulate and generally ignore that the virus existed. It wasn't until staff refused to hold classes that this president was forced to take safety measures. But unlike other universities, there was no support for sick students, no tracking and no guidance to students about staying safe from the virus.
