I'm probably in the minority here, but I don't see the big deal in sign stealing. I wouldn't want somebody stealing my signs, so I would be working on protecting them from prying eyes.

I've watched and heard the 'MI Sign Stealer.' It seemed to be more based on tendencies and game flow. Protect your signs.

I'd be trying to steal signs. I'd be protecting my signs.

I believe everybody did it. For a while, MI did it better

It's overblown. Most teams have variations and change it up by qtr. Now that they are moving to headsets it's not a big deal.

Issue is having someone in the stands from another team video taping the other teams signals. It's legal if you are able to stand on your own sideline and pickup the signals coming in and figuring out what the other team is going to run.

No it's not... but it's been going on for decades. It's overblown.

Only winning 17-0 vs Miami of Ohio? This team is as bad as we have thought. They are only going to win 1 or 2 games in the big ten and be a 3-4 win team overall.

I believe our Maryland starter was starting to find his rhythm and then unfortunately got hurt. If he didn't get injured I think we were on the way towards a big day.

Then when our San Diego State guy replaced him - not Sunshine - he was bad, very bad, initially. AND, our offensive coordinator brilliantly decided 2 plays in to the new guy was the right time to run a drive destroying dumbass trick play which was summarily blown up for about a 10 yard sack loss by a Miami player named Trick - can't make this up. Then SDSU guy plays bad but gets a smidge better and no more dumbass plays. Bucky moved the ball. It wasn't pretty. I think it will get better.

Bucky defense played much better. Not happy with initial tackling on the quarterback but Bucky swarmed and got him.

Ugly win, but through adversity many positives. I think Bucky may surprise people and get to a bowl game. I think it's going to be close.
