Pain and suffering. Clearly broken hearted. Depression led to players opting out which equals more compensatory damages?
The NCAA does not directly ban the stealing of signs, but there are specific rules against using electronic equipment to record an opponent's signals and in-person, advanced scouting of future opponents in season. Michigan broke both of the rules of using electronic equipment to record opponents and in-person advanced scouting of opponents. It is in the category of the Astros stealing signs for pitches from someone using a camera in center field, relaying the pitch to the dugout, and then using a drum to tell batter what pitch is coming.
Which was one of the 104 allegations leveled at us in 1984. I'm not sure if it made the final 52 or not.
Of course! I grew up in Daytona and went to school with the daughter of the most famous NASCAR cheater ever! Smokey Yunik. Met him a few times. Legend!
Thank you... I can promise anyone that Spurrier would have never stooped this low in playing the game of football. He was totally anal in following the rules of the game... be it football or... golf.
Back in the mid 70’s a buddy of mine was modifying his Nova with a 350. He found these heads for a 302 at a local used place in Orlando that the owner claimed were designed/modified by Smokey. He wanted a premium for them. Mike left him his keys and his car and we drove up to Daytona in my clunker. Being 17, we didn’t even bother to call to make sure Smokey was there. To our luck he was there and verified that the claim was true about the heads. We were thrilled enough with that but he actually gave Mike a few other tips on gaskets, what distributor to get, the settings for points and timing advance. Also gave him a different pcv valve. He told us to bring it back up when we had it running and fine tuned it for free for free. He was a cool dude and It was pretty cool how he helped out a couple of dipshit kids trying to get themselves killed.
I don't understand how players understand the signals to start with. In the old days, a player would be sent in with the play. Or the QB would call his own plays. Nowadays the QB looks to the sideline, and what exactly is he looking at? One of the people holding up signs with pictures on them? Or some coach or player making all kinds of hand signals? Is there such a signal for every play in the playbook, and the QB has memorized every one of them? Baloney.
That makes sense, partly. So the QB has to translate what he sees on the sideline (some hand signals or, say, a sign with a funny face on it) to find the right play on his wristsband? But how many plays can you fit on a wristband? Whether in words or pictures? I've watched a lot of college football, but I've never heard any broadcasters, always running their mouths about something, take a few seconds to explain just what the QB, staring at the sideline, is doing with the signals or how he's doing it. For football idiots like me.
Steve not only said he was going to beat you, he would go so far as say how he would do it. And most couldn't stop it.
They can fit a lot of plays on the wristbands. It seems complex, but the way the plays are broken down is simpler.
Reminded me of ... "I'm gonna take this right foot, and I'm gonna whop you on that side of your face ...and you wanna know something? There's not a damn thing you're gonna be able to do about it." -- Billy Jack
