As new revelations emerge about the Connor Stalions sign-stealing controversy, it’s clear that he went to extraordinary lengths to support the Michigan football team.
A recent Netflix documentary shed light on Stalions’ unwavering dedication, detailing his sacrifices as a volunteer assistant, including sleeping in his car and renting out his house to afford travel costs.
In a surprising twist, it has now come to light that Stalions was even willing to assist the Ohio State Buckeyes, if it could ultimately benefit the Wolverines.
This unusual allegiance was particularly evident in 2021 when Michigan needed Ohio State to defeat Michigan State for a chance to reach the Big Ten Championship game.
At that time, Michigan’s only loss in the regular season was against Michigan State. The Spartans entered a critical matchup with Ohio State holding one conference loss from a previous defeat to Purdue.
If Ohio State won that game, the winner of the following week’s Michigan-Ohio State clash would secure the Big Ten East title.
Appearing on “Bussin’ with the Boys,” Stalions recounted the lengths he went to ensure Ohio State’s victory that day.
“2021 we lose to Michigan State,” Stalions began. “Kenneth Walker had a great game, played fantastic, and we needed some help, right? [Michigan State] had to lose twice … We would have beaten Ohio State, and then it would just been us and Ohio State, because then Michigan State would not have been in that three-way tie, and they lost to Purdue.
“Then I think it was the next week they played Ohio State, the week before we played Ohio State, and we so we needed Ohio State to win. So I gave Michigan State signals to a buddy of mine. I changed all the logos. I made it look like it came from a different school. I don’t want to give Ohio State something from Michigan, right? They might not use it. Who knows? Right?”
“I said we need ‘Ohio State to win, and I know they steal the crap out of defensive signals. So here you go.’ So I made it. I gave it to a buddy who may have given it to a buddy who then gave it to Ohio State and says I got this from so and so. You know, name your school university and yeah. I’m sure they probably already had them, but it just confirmed everything. But yeah, then they won like 60 to nothing.”
The final score was actually 56-7, but we get the point.
Sure enough, Michigan would go on to play Ohio State the following week where they pulled out an enormous 42-27 victory over the Buckeyes.
