    Ok, that's enough. You've already made my day, making college sports look stupid.

    Assuming this isn't the "inappropriate relationship" it'll be interesting.

    I've heard it was with Connor Stalions, I've heard it was with other dudes, etc etc.

    Damn. Even a 9-3 record and a berth in the cheez-it citrus bowl isn’t enough to get away with this sort of thing.

    Country has got way too woke.

    See, as a coach, he should've known to run a reverse at crunch time

    If it's the lady people are saying, she looks to be in her 20s

    Both of these could be true.

    I'm also hearing he was jailed for his own protection. It's important to note that, as of this posting, I have yet to see anything saying he was arrested. There's a difference between "detained" and "arrested".

    Although, if it was for his own safety (this suggests any number of things), why wasn't he put into a psych unit?

    There'll be a LOT of questions over the next few weeks/months.

    Surprise surprise.

    The "f your feelings snowflake" crowd got bigly upset because the Penguin players showed up to the ice in rainbow themed jerseys.

    The other line they're spewing is that the players are supporting God's promise never to flood the Earth again. (These people are probably the same ones who are overjoyed when players "give all glory to God for allowing me to win this game" or whatever.)

    There was an anonymous tip, and he’s been arrested for assault.

    It’s pretty easy to connect at least some of the dots…he thinks he knows who ratted him out and he beat him/her up.

    I'm curious whose side the anti-Israel / Palestinian-flag wavers are going to be on. *awkward*

    Any sane person should just tell them to ******** off. I've given up on going to the United States until they come to their senses (if that ever happens). It's not a big deal: the world is big enough for me to do without it.

    Other than some rando on Xwitter, and sites like The Mail and The NYPost, who else is saying that? Anybody legit?

    And of relevance, just about everybody is reporting that he was arrested for assault a couple hours after he was fired.

    Interim Michigan head coach, Biff Poggi

    This the kind of throwback Big 10 coach Michigan needs. Brat-eating, beer-guzzling, foghorn-farting dude who will run the ball 3 times into the middle of the line then punt.
