Big Ten releases replay video defending Michigan, Western Michigan ending
Did the Big Ten need to release their statement in the same font as the back of choose your own adventure books?
Silly Burrito57Turn to page 64 to get an extra second added to the clock!
Eric Garment51"To give Western Michigan the upset win, turn to page 56. To give Michigan one more play, turn to page 59."
Hoover Street Rag18OK, I am glad I am not the only one who thought this.
Kyle11Michigan kept it's finger on the previous page, so the game over on page 83 didn't count.
Logan Ejupi8The video review in question:
Paul Jankura7Ha, also 80s VHS releases!
Eric Stephen18far from the main thing, but what's up with that font choice
Christopher Crawford14Just assumed this was Stranger Things erotica. bsky.app/profile/sick...
Dayn Perry7Lol not reading all that
Grant7Lololol of course we're doing fake "our clock is different" excuses now.
CDRE Fool Mental Jackass VI6well that was certainly one of the Stranger Things
IDtheMIKE is probably running4The typical centered text of the weird fuckers who currently govern and run everything.
Kelly3Is this the whole statement? Because they basically just recapped what happened rather than say if the cash was right or not. They kind of said nothing
GameTimeArt3Put this in red and I would have thought it was a title screen from Stranger Things.
Brian Harrison2And also lie? Yes to both.
David Manning2Im guessing the B1G Ten uses the same PR people as ICE. Theyre both lying through their teeth.
This Hail Mary situation is EXACTLY why all the replay review situations need to be public and transparent. There has been no explanation. Big Ten added it this year, but only for Friday games.
WhatAimeeWrites26The officials cheated. The national media has to be willing to call it what it is. Western Michigan won that game.
Wizzy Probs7You'd think the conference would want to show their work on this one...
ringneck-flush.bsky.social5This is a multi-billion dollar industry that pretends integrity. Legal action should be looked into if nothing else to compel an explanation and financial interests of the officials involved.
Alex3you're not wrong but if you think thats gonna stop the conspiracy theories...people still have them with ACC games.
You Came In Dressed Like a Train Wreck1You keep looking for an explanation when there isn't one that's remotely credible. You are a journalist, no? Stop assuming good faith and start looking at the facts with appropriate skepticism, like anyone who went to j-school should.
Ric1As someone in the media, you actually could make a difference talking about this!
obnoxiously pitt girl53the ACC: the actual worldwide leader in sports?
Katie Shook41Only for Friday games is some Zara ass return policy LOL
By the Belt: A MAC Sports Blog24Wait, hold on, the transparent replay system is conditionally attached to Friday games? What sense does that possibly make?
Ivan Bologna of the Fightin' Bolognas17This. Also, there was no fair catch. Thank you for attending my Ted Talk.
Artist Formerly Known As Whoopty-Hell 🦋2WTF! Since when have rules been made that only apply to one day a week. 😂😂
Tired: Complaining about the ending of the Michigan game Wired: Roasting the Big Ten's font choice
tragicarpetride.bsky.social3From the author of "A Wrinkle In Time" it's "The Purloined Second" coming this September.
Ghost of Tuvix (Revived)1Ok but about the play itself. If the clock is stopped when the ball hits out of bounds, then the game should’ve still been over because it didn’t hit the ground till after time elapsed, right?
I think the Big Ten is going to have something on this soon and it's going to be about the game clock we saw on TV vs. the game clock as it was "supposed" to be run. The bar for this to be satisfactory to reasonable people is going to be pretty high
Jœy AF26Lmao everything in America is fake as shit now. All the liars and cheaters win regardless of what we see with our own eyes
𝘐𝘴𝘢𝘢𝘤 𝘗𝘪𝘨𝘰𝘵𝘵8Clearly, Western Michigan should have subscribed to ClockPro+
Slippery Pete6Time is a flat circle. There is no justification. They can spin some bullshit narrative about a second heretofore unheard of clock that’s the “real clock”, but it’s all laughable fraud played out in public.
107 Reasons Why5They'll just lie, what do they have to lose?
ajsstormchaser.bsky.social2My guess: They're gonna say it was 10 seconds left actually, we just never fixed it on the field.
Michael Breitsch2I mean, if they had a satisfactory explanation, you would kind of expect it to have been released immediately after the game, no? You know, right after they made the ruling?
Joe Sheehan13“The clock? You don’t know it. It goes to another school.”
Andrew K. Gardner4Real weird for there to be a clock everyone sees and then a secret clock that they get to bring out for special occasions, like a treat. But just for Michigan.
Shaker Samman2“Time is just a construct. Open your mind’s eye, brother. Michigan gets an extra second.”
if this is true NBC's feed should not have been able to be synced differently than the replay officials', because they say it's the same! and yet it was? which one seems more likely to have gone out of sync, the actual broadcast production or the Big Ten replay booth connected to the production?
Timothy Burke47also if your last sync was five hours ago that is more than enough time for significant drift due just to shit like cosmic rays so maybe this is all silly anyway
Charlie Fillenwarth5Don’t worry. The Big Ten investigated the Big Ten’s replay of the Big Ten’s stadium clock that resulted in a Big Ten win, and the Big Ten has found that the Big Ten did nothing wrong. Unfortunately, the Big Ten confirms that the Big Ten will just have to accept a Big Ten victory.
Paul Schmidt2This is EXACTLY my question. It doesn’t make any sense
Robert Tomlinson2There can't be a difference between the TV cameras and the "broadcast cameras" mentioned in the statement, no?
Triton Buccaneer2Why is this statement in the form of the back of a paperback?
J2Would be good to have the full video from the Big Ten from when the ball is snapped.
The MAC folded. They should've stood up for Western Michigan
Timothy Burke51the thing is, there is absolutely video or a photo with the moment the ball is touched AND the stadium scoreboard in view, so I guess we'll have a provable answer at some point
nathan gruenholz2still didnt fold nearly as bad as dabo swinney
i bought spirit airlines2trying to figure out if this is describing an obscure application of the illegal touching rule, because the plain reading is um not true
The MAC issues a statement saying they’ve accepted the explanation offered by the Big Ten.
DGM9The Big Ten has released a photograph of the game clock operator for Michigan vs. Western Michigan.
Roberts Poll4It's doesn't clarify how two allegedly synced clock feeds (NBC broadcast and replay booth) are no longer synced.
Toss6The MAC is screwing up negotiations, if they had held out a bit longer before accepting the B1G’s explanation we probably would’ve given them Rutgers as a peace offering
Lil Bona X5the word “cuck” has beaten into the ground in recent years, but this is absolutely cuck behavior no more le epic bacon MACtion memes, send that conference to the fcs
Major2For an extra $2 million
