The saga is a black hole, goes nowhere and then some

Here, let me list the "rules" of spying and sign stealing that were expected to be followed during
the Civil War - you know, the thing where the objective is to get the advantage, win, take the other person out:

1. 2. 3.


There. Really.

All you have to do is be half-aware your enemy is trying to steal a sign and then drop a fake sign, and now he's worse off. The key is to NOT LET HIM KNOW that you know, but that's kind of asinine too. All Michigan's opponent had to do was stay quiet and pretend they knew nothing, then let them steal all the signs they wanted. The WRONG SIGNS.

Works in school too. I would get information that a student or group was "stealing answers" and would say nothing, then change the test but disguise it so they didn't notice it. And they failed the test. Even better, the students could not complain to me "what happened that I failed the test" because then they were turning themselves in!

There was actually one major battle in the Civil War where a battle plan was "accidentally" discovered lying on the ground. But was this real or fake? That was part of the game of war.

Lastly, it wouldn't surprise me if a real football spy was somehow inserted into the personnel of a football program to feed information back to the aggressor. I bet this has happened too.


It's just "Spy vs. Spy". Anybody remember that cartoon?
