I'm generally of the opinion that there was nothing that Michigan could do with Stalionskampf or the WMU ending because the media is going to do what they do regardless of how we respond.

That said, if this story dies without getting traction, then I will be fully engaged with how A&M and Nebraska fans feel about Texas, which is that the rules don't apply to them and they have this haughty fucking entitlement that allows them to do whatever the hell they want. Just a rancid fucking institution that should not get my affection even if Austin and Willie are cool.

Let's see if Arch Manning's disgusting "slapping a woman is hilarious" comment gets one-tenth of the attention that the last play of UM-WMU got last week. - By GritsGoBlue September 15, 2026 at 10:53:37 AM
- Just to pile on here about the fact that opposing domestic violence is now political, here's a sampling on the responses to Nicole Auerbach's tweet expressing disgust at what Arch said. - By GritsGoBlue September 15, 2026 at 12:01:10 PM
- I went to see what the interview controversy what all about and the slap video came up first. Nice job amplifying that garbage Arch. What a trash comment. - By plug September 15, 2026 at 11:22:23 AM
  - The live moment this video is building off featured Rowe trying twice to get a comment out of Sark. The first effort was professional and normal and everyday, the second was more rushed, but totally normal… - By weebay September 15, 2026 at 01:33:23 PM
  - I agree, the video is not vaudevillian or whimsical or anything like that. it's just Sark punching Rowe in the face and she goes down * - By Nikos September 15, 2026 at 11:46:31 AM
- I mean… isn’t the video funny because it’s an absurd amplification of the absurdly rude manner in which Sarkesian actually blew off Rowe after the end of the game? - By weebay September 15, 2026 at 11:06:45 AM
  - Or because people get off on alpha males treating female reporters like shit and the amplification was of how much Sarkisian “owned” her in that moment. I doubt many people think it was funny because it put Sarkisian in his place for being mean to her.* - By Eric September 15, 2026 at 11:13:20 AM
    - I guess I have no idea why anybody else saw humor in it, so I guess that’s fair. - By weebay September 15, 2026 at 11:16:51 AM
- Imagine an AI video of Bryce slapping Holly Rowe. Or Sherrone Moore. I'm sure reactions would be the same.* - By Charlie September 15, 2026 at 11:06:13 AM
- Good Good just had its business nuked for a “funny” video depicting violence against women. I doubt Arch will be treated the same way!* - By Eric September 15, 2026 at 10:59:51 AM
  - To be fair, there is a difference between saying “yeah that was funny” and publishing an ad. But I couldn’t help notice the contrast either. The Rowe ai video is 1000x worse than whatever good good put out* - By WOK September 15, 2026 at 11:25:26 AM
- I am pretty laissez faire on humor/comedy, what is off limits, etc but I was floored at that Arch comment. I thought that was fucking crazy - By Nikos September 15, 2026 at 10:58:57 AM

  - there’s a moment right after he says it you can tell he realizes he prob shouldn’t have, but then everyone laughs - By DetUMICH September 15, 2026 at 11:28:13 AM
  - And then the media chuds all laughed (m) - By Rags September 15, 2026 at 11:00:56 AM
