Nebraska football: Sherrone Moore continues tradition of lying at Michigan

If you were wondering how Michigan might look, feel, and sound now that Jim Harbaugh is gone, it turns out that the more things change for the Nebraska football rival, the more they stay the same. That includes the Wolverines' head coach lying about easily disprovable things.

Earlier this week, new Michigan head coach Sherrone Moore discussed plans to have Harbaugh return for the season opener. Even though the former Wolverines coach has been suspended for an entire season and given a four-year show-cause, he would come to Ann Arbor as a way for the school to thumb its nose entirely at the NCAA.

For some reason, someone decided that wasn't a good idea. Whether it was Moore, Harbaugh, or someone higher up, they chose not to do the thing that would make them look like terrible people. However, Moore couldn't miss an opportunity to tell a weird lie about the investigation that painted him as someone who tried to hide evidence.

After discussing Harbaugh's no longer attending the game during his press conference, questions moved to Moore's role in the cheating scandal that engulfed the program last year.

Despite Moore being specifically called out as deleting more than 50 text messages to Brandon Stallions, he pretended as though he hadn't done that. The Nebraska football rival coach claimed he wanted people to see the things he once deleted.

"All I can say is I look forward to them being released."

Michigan head coach wants stuff he hid to be released?

It's a bit odd that a coach who first deleted text messages would claim he wants the public to see them. Of course, Moore learned from the master. Jim Harbaugh loved to lie and cheat and then pretend he was a victim of a witch hunt.

However, like Harbaugh, Moore isn't believable to anyone outside Ann Arbor. The Nebraska football rival coach continues the longstanding tradition of the leader of that program being unlikeable. It sort of makes me wish the Huskers played them this year.
