Comments section will be fun.

He deserves every bit of whatever becomes of this one.

 

[cwessel76]

What else is he going to say?

“Yeah, they had us bent over a barrel with no lube.”

He’s got to say something to rile the team up.

 

[macmoolah]

Hes also not lying. Id be mad too if an opposing team cheated and got away with it (so far)

 

[HerbRedman]

I think the larger quote is less cringe. He basically goes, 'Yeah we are a shitty 5-4 but we also had 3 games where we got fucked in the ass - 1 bc the opposing team stole our signs in a illegal way and 2 bc the refs fucked up a crucial TD call"

So I can give him a little slack in that the entire quote isn't as bad. On_3 cut it up to just include the Michigan reference.

But Rhule has to stop mentioning that Michigan game. It's super cringe. We would have lost to them by 5 TDs anyway.

***Also, imagine if we backdoor our way to the B1G Championship game...I'm sure the Michigan players would love to get a 2nd chance to put 70 on us **

Going to assume a little frustration poured out of that Matt Rhule Press Conference bottle

I think this is just a sign of the coaches getting frustrated and agitating more publicly for punishment.

He's been quiet publicly and played the role he was supposed to play, as most have, but the Big Ten still sits on its hands. That inaction, coupled with some brutal refereeing, has him wondering when somebody with some power is going to fix some of the broken shit in this conference.

All kinds of rumors that something was going to happen to Harbaugh today. I imagine many coaches in this conference are getting tired of waiting.

You could tell with about five minutes left when HH threw a pick that Rhule was pissed and he’d kind of given up on that game.

There really isn’t much you can do when you’re this bad in certain areas.

I have zero issue with anyone taking a shot at Big Ten refs as they are all terrible.

Rhule most definitely defends his players...even to the point of incredulity.

My eyebrows were definitely raised when I heard it in the presser. He hit the officiating pretty good too, which I will be interested to see if there is any public response or reprimand from the BIG. I think it's just his way of getting a bit of a dig in, but moreso, defending his team.

He also stated when asked if the BIG had talked to him about the officiating that "everyone" agreed it was an incomplete pass on the MSU TD catch call but that we essentially have to move forward.

 

[RedSavage]

I'm glad he said it. Something HAS to be done about this shit ass officiating that is literally in every single game we play.

 

[Stenge85]

He obivously knows we would have got our ass handed to us no matter what. But he also has a right to be mad when our opponent openly cheats and gets no punishment

The funny thing is, the MSU crowd was on them the whole game about how bad they were screwing MSU. I fortunately sat next to a rational MSU fan. Good dude.

Also got multiple separate references to the 1995 game from MSU fans and how bad we stomped them. The father of the kid next to me said he'd been a season ticket holder since the 70s and had never seen a better opposing team.

 

[Irv]

Would love to see the Big Ten reprimand him for saying what everyone knows about the replay review, while Jim Harbaugh keeps having sleepovers on his way to a Big Ten title.

 

[Irv]

BTW, is this the first time Rhule has confirmed that he thinks we were scouted?

 

[God is a Husker]

Your honor…my client was merely alluding to the fact it might not have been as big of a blowout had our signs not be stolen.

That’s it, totally innocent!

He’s said it behind closed doors.

Posted in another thread, but schools and conferences that have teams that finish 5-7 and played Michigan should petition for bowl eligibility for those teams.

 

[vailhusker]

Oh no, Desmond Howard and Rich Eisan are going to want us kicked out of the Big Ten again.

I don't think so. We lost to Michigan, regardless if they cheated. They should technically have their season(s) forfeited, but that doesn't automatically generate a win for us.

With that said, that won't happen until next year when NCAA finishes and presents their investigation findings.
