Confirmed: Connor Stalions Was In Disguise On The Central Michigan Sideline Against Michigan State

Do you remember the day this story came out? It was perhaps the most insane week in the history of college football. Every two seconds, a new piece of the story would drop that was more jaw dropping than the last one. But through the 58 illegal scouting trips, and the tickets being bought under his name, and the Manifesto, the wildest part of the story was this photo of potentially Connor Stalions being in a Central Michigan polo and hat, standing on the sidelines of their game vs. Michigan State with sunglasses that could record. 

Now don't get me wrong, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that that was Connor Stalions. If it wasn't, Central Michigan would've shot down the allegation within 2 seconds. Would've showed the lookalike on their staff and moved on with their day. But they didn't. Now why was that? That's because it was Connor Stalions, who was a fucking coach at Michigan at the time!!!

But then for the last 10 months, we've apparently just forgotten about this. No one has demanded answers from Michigan or Central Michigan (except me). How have we all just moved on from this? But today, after nearly a year long wait, it has been confirmed:

Am I crazy or is that in itself not enough of a violation to vacate wins? We've got Kentucky over here vacating 2 years worth of wins because their players got paid a few dollars (literally, a few) off-the-field and the entire staff had no clue. But we've got a Michigan coach disguising himself and going on another team's sideline to scout a conference opponent? It made no sense at the time and it makes no sense now. Why would Stalions not just sit in the front row and video tape like he did all the other 58x he illegally scouted? But instead he dressed up like it was fucking Halloween and cheated on national television. And not only will it cost Michigan wins and/or a championship, it also cost his buddy who let him onto the field a job.

If I'm Michigan State I don't play Michigan until they vacate all of their wins against them and write a handwritten apology letter. Cheat with illegal film if you want, but the idea that you'd have a coach on the sidelines of one of your opponents is flat out disgusting. Ruins the integrity of the game and of the conference.

But anyways, now that we finally have results on this issue, we move on to the next one. Next up: I want answers into how Connor Stalions and Blake Corum's vacuum business is doing.
