Interesting twist to the Michigan sign stealing story

It is rather funny. Lets just assume that UM gave us info on UT and Clem. We used it to beat both and knock them out of the playoff just like they wanted. They get the matchup they orchestrated, only to get their asses kicked. How hilarious is that?? To add to the calamity, wouldn't it be awesome if Shane then turned around to alert his old play Garrett Riley of what UM was doing so he could change up their signals and really F with UM??
We didn't need to steal signals against TN as we scored 5 TD's without taking a breath. Caught them flat footed and underestimating the offense - they probably watched the FLA film and thought the game was a piece of cake. Love the blaming the loss on Michigan signal stealing from the Vils fans. They are still coming to this board for therapy which we should be charging them psychiatry fees for by the minute.
I agree with but playing devils advocate.
How do you know we weren't stealing defensive signs to score the touchdowns without taking a breath?
TN was not fooled or grossly out of position on any of our TD's. It was individual effort and man beating man on all the TD's. Great effort by Bell on the swing pass, great move by Juju for a TD, long pass to Bell was complete by a fingertip with a perfect throw from Rattler, and so on.
Completely true, but that won't make a difference if any substantial evidence is discovered that we received their signals. Even if we didn't use them.
Disclaimer, there is no evidence yet (since I last heard), it's all rumor at this point.
We only checked to the sideline a couple of times in the first half, and didn't change the play. If we were waiting to see their defensive calls we'd get in formation, wait to see what they called, then look over to see what to run based on their signs. Didn't happen.
I’m sure we didn’t use stolen signals, but you can see why it’s an attractive conspiracy. Who among was not watching in bewildered amazement at what we were seeing. None of us have ever seen a Gamecock performance like that in our entire lives.
Rumors spread by TN no doubt.
Just not accepting a butt whipping.
