So,

Broncos

Won

On

The

Field

Full Stop.

Every other argument is now Officially Bullshit.

UMich will continue to be ranked by the FBS as if they lost. That’s called

WMU, unless there is a Row The Boat Part Deux type Miracle Season, won’t really be affected by the loss.

They will have more fame for being shoved an L than the win, I think….just like Armando Gallaraga’s Imperfect Game.

The oniy difference is Jim Joyce was visibly distraught, and admitted he kicked the call because it was an egregious but honest mistake.

Nothing Honest Happened After The Clock Ran Out The First Time and No One From UMich has the Integrity to Stand Up like Joyce Did.

NCAA just called them at best liars, and likely dirty cheaters. And the Silence from Asquared is Deafening.

So, as Nature abhorrs a vacuum, it will be filled with BullShit from fans who don’t know anything offical but just run their fat yappers.

Great, if the clock on TV is the one that matters, give us back our second that you ran off the clock when Underwood spiked the ball. The ball clearly hits the ground at 10 seconds, not 9.

Few things….

  1. They gave Michigan an extra second….there is no doubt about that. The clock said ZERO and Western should have won

  2. If #18 from Western doesn’t try to be a hero and doesn’t try and make a play on the ball the game is OVER. That ball was sailing out of bounds and out of play, he didn’t need to make an attempt on a INT. Leon Lett at its finest

  3. If it were Western trying for a prayer or HAIL MARY, there would not have been an extra second put back on the clock

Michigan was gifted a victory….lets all move on

You say that but they were 10-4 last year and won their conference. 9th best defense in the country. I wouldn’t be so sure your squad could handle that team :wink:

They aren’t bums

But for the record, I agree. Michigan should never lose to a MAC school. This isn’t MSU for example :joy:

Love ya Marty!

This attitude didn’t begin with the Harbaugh coaching error…I mean era. My friends that are MSU fans (see? I can be open minded!), have been telling me for decades that Michigan is the LUCKIEST team in college football, and maybe all of football history! This whole situation just adds to that narrative for them and there’s no grey area in their world. For those that hate UofM (and I get many of the reasons why you do), this is just another example of the world tilting in favor of their arch enemy. Those folks are beyond saving, or even walking it back to the point of having a reasonable discussion.

That and it took hours for the Big Ten to release the video

There are now adding live look-ins to add transparency. If that had been in place none of this would be controversial

1000000000% . This is the problem a lot of people have, and why it’s difficult to let go. There is ZERO chance WMU would have been awarded an extra second in this same scenario. Zero. Refs would have been in their car before ball hit the ground on the first hail-mary attempt.

This is the funniest thing Ive read on this subject in a while! Thanks for that :oncoming_fist:

MSU fans suggesting UofM is the luckiest team in college sports is

Question Mark Wtf GIF

Did they apologize and promise it will not happen again?

Go blue, haters are gonna hate and I love it!

If WM was given that last second and won everybody would be telling michigans fans not to let the game be decided by one play, stop crying yada yada yada.

For a long, long time, the NCAA’s power has been nerfed. Technically since the early 80s loss against Georgia and ou in court. It took a bit for the results of that case to bear out, but they have resulted in the paper tiger you see today. The schools/conferences run college sports. They just use the NCAA to handle the stuff they don’t care about.

Kinda like the Calvin Johnson non-fumble vs the Bears. We didn’t get that one back either.

Don’t disagree there. I doubt there would be many MSU or OSU fans fussing about Michigan getting screwed. But had that been Michigan….Wolverine fans would cry about it forever as well. That’s just the way fandom goes!

This is vintage Walmart Wolverine Fan activity. Even after the powers that be come forward and explain there has been an error and why the Wolverine fans still think they are right and the rest of the world is wrong…LOL

I mean just take the win and move on. Why do you even care if anyone agrees or disagrees. This has always been the gripe of your fan base. It is not enough for you to win, you NEED everyone to agree that you won, that they lost, and that you are superior, oh and that deep down all other fans wish they were Wolverine Fans.

Also just for the record. You guys so under sell your mascot. I mean outside of Spartans I would love to be the MSU Honey Badgers…those are some Bad A$$ animals. You guys should be leaning in much harder on your mascots ferocious nature.

Reading comprehension must be tough for Sparties. You literally quoted me conceding that the rules weren’t followed correctly, according to the NCAA. Just so happens I’m not a fan of that rule, and I’m not sure why any football fan would be a fan of the TV clock superseding the actual clock in the stadium. But yes, according to the TV clock, there was no time left

Don’t sweat it, Spartan fans are more enamored with the Wolverines than their own team.

Ohio State fan starts the thread and the spartan fan gives a lecture on Michigan fans letting the topic go. What fun would college football be without those two adorable fan bases? You have provided us with years of unmatched entertainment.
