The Spartans Illustrated staff predicts Michigan State's record for the 2024 season:

I watched the new documentary, called "Sign Stealer," about Connor Stalions on Netflix this morning. It was definitely told in a way that was much more catered to a non-college football fan that might not have heard too much about the insane depth of the story, which makes sense. To be honest, the documentary did not focus very much about the intricacies of the scheme.

This, frankly, is because Stalions is still dragging his feet about the entire thing. The biggest new piece of information from it was Stalions denying any true involvement with in-person scouting. But here's the weird part -- his side of the story is that he would, in fact, buy tickets to games featuring future Michigan opponents and then transfer or flip the seats to friends and family. After that, Stalions said while talking with the NCAA that those he gave tickets to would film "parts of games" without being directed to do so.

Also worth noting is that Stalions says that is was not him on the sideline of the Central Michigan game last year, but Dave Portnoy claimed that Stalions told him that is was.

Other tidbits include that Stalions received a game ball from Jim Harbaugh after UM beat Iowa in 2022, he appears to think Ohio State hacked him, he rushed the field after Michigan beat OSU and that a friend that Stalions bought tickets for says there is "no evidence" that he filmed games.
