Turn the Michigan game on now!!!

[Grant Green]

Shouldn’t Mecheatagain forfeit the game because the extra point was never attempted? If I remember correctly when Penn Stste beat Iowa on the last play, the ball had to be snapped for an extra point attempt.

No, the extra point doesn't have to be kicked on a walk off TD.

Ah, Michigan Man.

If Portnoy would get run over by a tractor trailer or a train, no one would miss him.

Refs were just practicing so they will be ready when we play McCheatin.
I'm gonna guess that will be the crew that does our game.

Anybody been to the Bucknuts board to see their thoughts?

They’re more outraged than we are. I checked the 247 board

I love how the b1g scumbags dig in their pouch and generate an angle that super-subjectively claims to show a WMU player touch the ball with 1000th of a second left (there is no way you can definitively know when the ball is touched as it is extremely impacted by camera angle) - remember, the call on the field was 0:00; that's weak-sauce bs to claim this is "definitive proof" the clock did not expie... BUT somehow claimed the "Call Stands" due to lack of definitive evidence in the Michael Penix JR and the PSU TD taken away against Nebraska when both Videos clearly and definitively demonstrated that the wrong call was made - but according to the bs b1g, the videos were too subjective to call and the calls on the field stood. This league is full of so much parochial homerism, bs and scumbaggery, it isn't even funny.

Was Lloyd Carr present in the Big Ten’s replay room last night?

Hey, everything else is going to court in 2026–so why not this? Western Michigan should sue to get their win.

Someone needs to produce a “Great Moments in Michigan Stadium Timekeeping” video.

I don't agree with it but the MAC has already said the call was correct
They want those Big Ten game checks

Anyone can sue who experienced damages. The individual players have been winning all the court battles. They can sue both the B1G and the MAC.

Yes, he was sucking off the replay official.

So listening to SXm College Sports this morning, the explanation they got was the officials clock has tenths of a second so there was 0.001 second left. If true, this is wrong on so many levels. Not fair to the fans and especially the players on the field. It might have been Fozzy Whitaker that said is this the same as extra time in soccer.

I don't buy this at all. When the clock is at 15:00 to start the quarter it takes a full second (not 0.999 seconds) to get to 14:49.

Also, when they added time earlier in the game, they could have added fractions of seconds, but they do not.

High comedy

The end is enough to make any true football fan vomit. Rat Bastards.

That info is off base.

The league tweeted a statement accompanied by a video. Neither the statement nor the video references fractions of a second.

As noted in the statement, the “officials’ clock” was the scoreboard clock (the same one the broadcast showed during replays). They had no other clock.

But somehow the broadcast showed the ball touched at 0:00 while the league’s video showed it touched at 0:01.

The video provided is the worst possible angle you could use for this play - it is behind the play and the WVU player who they claimed touched it with time remaining. It is clearly not a definitive angle for several reasons. First of all, a single camera cannot provide accurate "3D depth" such that it will make the ball appear closer to the WMU player because it is shot from directly behind the WMU player. The reverse angle which is what was shown on the broadcast synched with the gameclock clearly shows that the WMU player jumped AND had his arms fully extended before he ever touches the ball. The b1g angle provide makes it appear that the ball is coming into the WMU player's body as it disappears over his shoulder - this is a clear optical illusion generated by the inherent flatness of a single camera shot from behind the player. The reverse angle which was shown on the broadcast clearly shows the actual flight of the ball and how far away from the WMU player it was when he reached for ir (again, the WMU player is both jumping and has his arms fully extended before he ever touches the ball. The b1g inconclusive video provided makes it appear that the ball is coming into the WMU player's body as it disappears over his shoulder (an optical illusion resulting from the camera angle directly behind and slightly abve the WMU player in question).

Secondly, you clearly are unable to see the ball when the WMU player actually touches it from this camera angle - the ball disappears over the WMU player's shoulder before he touches it.
