Summary

Recorded October 8, 2024: In this episode of Best of the Bus, Will Compton and Taylor Lewan sat down with the star of Netflix’s Original Documentary, Untold: Sign Stealer, Connor Stalions — the alleged “Sign Stealer” from the Michigan Wolverines football program.

Connor dove deep into his journey with the Wolverines, the art of locating and deciphering opposing teams’ signals, and the strategy he developed to help Michigan win the 2023 National Championship. He shed light on his role in the controversial “sign stealing” allegations and shared his perspective on what really happened behind the scenes. Will and Taylor also touched on the Wolverines’ dominance in the Big Ten during Stalions’ tenure, Michigan’s rivalry with Ohio State, and the inception of the Michigan Manifesto.

Connor described the dark underbelly of college football and the black market dealings of “sign traders.” He denied, clarified, and introduced multiple allegations that had been thrown his way — even noting other teams in FBS college football that were still using “sign stealers” to this very day.

This one was a BANGER!
