[u/Background_Disk_1387]

I wanna fucking die

[u/thisbechris → u/Background_Disk_1387]

You guys were fucked.

[u/4theFrontPage → u/thisbechris]

And then Michigan stormed the field after that bullshit? You're #16 against your in-state MAC opponent and needed a giftwrapped Hail Mary attempt. That's more embarrassing than signing pro players to your team

[u/BigT5535 → u/Background_Disk_1387]

If I'm y'all's coach I'm filing the injunction TONIGHT

[u/ckalinec → u/BigT5535]

I wonder if they could actually technically have this game overturned since that call being reversed would actually end the game?

Insane regardless. WMU got absolutely screwed out of an incredible performance.

[u/BigT5535 → u/ckalinec]

You can file a protest that says you basically don't accept the result of the game on the grounds of unfair play. It doesn't really do anything, but it's what I would do.

[u/LimaBeans2711 → u/BigT5535]

I’m setting a record for largest fine for official criticism if I’m him I’m ngl

[u/ClevelandSteamers757 → u/Background_Disk_1387]

Refball

[u/Active-Tomatillo-522 → u/Background_Disk_1387]

I’d be pissed beyond words. That clock was at 0.

[u/Dixiehusker → u/Background_Disk_1387]

You functionally won this game. Look forward to the rest of your season.

[u/K31KT3 → u/Dixiehusker]

You say that but man, this would have been a legendary all time win for the program

Free second at the end after it was decided running into WMs punter doesn’t matter apparently 

[u/YoungManYoda90 → u/K31KT3]

Or the major face mask penalty the refs missed too. This was clearly a rigged game

[u/EsotericSpaceBeaver → u/Background_Disk_1387]

That was the most egregious bullshit I've ever seen. I'm actually questioning whether I want to watch college ball anymore after that and I don't even have skin in the game

[u/Far-Maintenance-1954 → u/Background_Disk_1387]

Y'all got absolutely fucking robbed

[u/Peacefulzealot → u/Background_Disk_1387]

You all deserved that win. Generational horseshit.

[u/WebfootTroll → u/Background_Disk_1387]

Justified

[u/RollWarTideEagle]

“Just put one second back, it won’t matter anyways.”

[u/GardenDesign23 → u/RollWarTideEagle]

Refs fucking rigged this shit

[u/EvaporatingOlaf → u/GardenDesign23]

It was literally at 0 and they gave them another chance

[u/CaseFish → u/EvaporatingOlaf]

60:01

[u/Manwar7 → u/CaseFish]

Technically, this was the longest non-overtime football game ever played.

[u/VeryRealHuman23 → u/EvaporatingOlaf]

“Can’t let a MAC team upset the money machine”

[u/syo → u/EvaporatingOlaf]

Literally no viable explanation for that shit.

[u/Str8UpJorking → u/GardenDesign23]

Fuck

The

Refs

[u/Naive-Elephant-9305 → u/GardenDesign23]

This is actually the most openly rigged shit I've ever seen. The time clearly ran out while the ball was in the air on the previous play. There is absolutely no reason why a second should have been put on the clock afterward.

[u/nightfire36 → u/Naive-Elephant-9305]

And that was after obvious missed flags for a clear face mask and running into the kicker.

Why do I watch this sport? Why do any of use watch if the refs can just ignore the game?

[u/Brytcyd → u/nightfire36]

The line judge was looking up the line at the face mask five feet in front of him. The replay is insane.

[u/Moose4KU → u/GardenDesign23]

Why earn those massive TV contract paychecks of you're not gonna cash them in when you need them?

[u/VolsByAMil → u/GardenDesign23]

Unfucking real. Such BS

[u/NEW_GNGR_9601 → u/VolsByAMil]

Rigged!

[u/Full_Technician8430 → u/GardenDesign23]

Genuinely, the result should be overturned. We have video evidence the clock expired.

[u/2Teams1Cup → u/GardenDesign23]

Western Michigan should secede from the Eastern half after this disgrace!

[u/jdprager → u/GardenDesign23]

Clearest robbery I’ve ever seen, it wasn’t even remotely close and they just gave an extra second from nowhere

Open corruption by conference refs, most ethical Michigan win

[u/ferriswheeljunkies11 → u/GardenDesign23]

Embarrassing for Michigan.

Clowns

[u/SimManiac → u/ferriswheeljunkies11]

Rushed the field for beating a team they were 30 point favorites over

[u/suzukigun4life → u/RollWarTideEagle]

Even the commentators were sure there was no time left.

[u/tabloid-tommy → u/RollWarTideEagle]

Yeah this is homecooking

[u/Lakelyfe09 → u/RollWarTideEagle]

They wouldn’t have put a second back on the clock if this was the other way around. Completely fucking suspicious.

[u/AlphaNathan → u/RollWarTideEagle]

ROBBERY

[u/digbug0 → u/RollWarTideEagle]

match fixed lol

[u/Mayfect]

Western Michigan, the whole country saw you guys win. I’m sorry.

[u/Pool_Breeze → u/Mayfect]

Including Michigan fans. In my mind we lost once the ball went out the back of the end zone with 0:00 left. Ridiculous

[u/abjmad → u/Pool_Breeze]

Agreed 110%

[u/Casting_Aspersions → u/Pool_Breeze]

I'm very glad that the overwhelming amount of comments in the Michigan sub recognize how awful this was and that Western won the game. Just horrible.

[u/Active-Tomatillo-522]

The clock was at 0

[u/suzukigun4life → u/Active-Tomatillo-522]

Even the NBC commentators were sure if it.

Sport is cooked

[u/bulldg4life → u/suzukigun4life]

The ref in the booth is dumbfounded. Terry McAuley

“The ball is still in the air when it hits all zeroes. Our sync is correct with the game clock. Unless they are saying they have a different game clock sync”

“The big 10 is going to have to explain how they got to one second”

[u/mcwilly → u/bulldg4life]

Spoiler, they won’t.

[u/brmgp1 → u/bulldg4life]

I love that he called out the big 10 needing to provide an explanation tomorrow. This is one that can’t just be swept under the rug, it’s way too serious and blatant, some heads need to roll

[u/RallyPigeon → u/brmgp1]

All we'll get is a BS statement "our referees have the upmost integrity and due to a clock error we won't ever specify, the refs were the only ones who had the true game time available to them." They won't overturn the result or call out anyone.

[u/StevenSnell3 → u/bulldg4life]

The clock was reset from 0:08 to 0:09 before the play. So unless the ref’s super secret clock runs slower than the TV clock, there’s no way they could be showing 0:00 at different times. They literally started the play at the exact same time, because the clock was manually set to 0:09

[u/Jedi-El1823 → u/suzukigun4life]

They're still saying it was 0.

Keep speaking the truth NBC.

[u/707royalty → u/suzukigun4life]

Check the Kalshi accounts on those refs

[u/Exact_Package_7264 → u/Active-Tomatillo-522]

This game was so rigged I'm agreeing with a Columbia fan.

[u/svh01973 → u/Active-Tomatillo-522]

And they're claiming that the clock on the field wasn't the official clock. Bullshit. Never heard that before ever. 

edit: Big 10 using Hawk-eye system that needs to be "recalibrated" every quarter to ensure the system's clock is in-sync with the game clock. Does that mean that it slowly gets out-of-sync as the quarter plays out, and the hawk-eye systems "end of the quarter" clock could be off?

[u/MahjongDaily → u/svh01973]

Terry McAulay just debunked that claim on the broadcast too. Some real fuckery here.

[u/meatballs223 → u/MahjongDaily]

Literally just said “how did they get to 1 second on this play” wow this is beyond fucked

[u/thedarkhaze → u/meatballs223]

Refs been watching too much world cup. Probably thought there was still stoppage time.

[u/mattpsx2 → u/MahjongDaily]

You know when the broadcast is openly questioning something it's bad.

[u/Various-Net9757 → u/mattpsx2]

We need a legitimate investigation into this, either NBC fumbled the easiest camera sync of all time, Hawk-Eye is broken, or someone is full on blind

[u/reserved_seating → u/Various-Net9757]

This investigation is brought to you by draft kings

[u/RunnyKinePity → u/mattpsx2]

Yeah, they didn’t know what to say. First class fuckery

[u/suzukigun4life → u/MahjongDaily]

You know shit is crooked when the NBC commentary crew, Terry included, are trashing the whole thing.

Game is gone gone.

[u/BrettSchirley22 → u/svh01973]

Lol what are they claiming is the official clock then? The fucking one in the refs pocket that no one else can see? What a joke

[u/Specialist_Cat7271 → u/svh01973]

HEY I REMEMBER THIS SONG!

[u/GimmeeSomeMo → u/svh01973]

"MY SOURCE IS THAT I MADE IT THE FUCK UP" - Refs

[u/MichaelSquare → u/Active-Tomatillo-522]

It was at -3

[u/OpaqueNightmare]

Absolute corruption from the Big 10. This was disgusting. These refs should never officiate a game again.

[u/IrishTexan62 → u/OpaqueNightmare]

They didn't want another loss to the MAC after the Rutgers incident.

[u/Intelligent_Pain_174 → u/OpaqueNightmare]

Check their back accounts.  

[u/cleinaz22 → u/Intelligent_Pain_174]

You do that, I’m going to check their front accounts and then we will circle back and compare notes

[u/Genusmk]

what the fuck

[u/EvaporatingOlaf → u/Genusmk]

Most pissed off I’ve been in a while watching CFB. Corrupt.

[u/9MillimeterPeter]

Rigged

[u/BurgerNugget12 → u/9MillimeterPeter]

FIFA levels of corruption

[u/one_lucky_duck]

I need a full investigation in that clock replay call.

Edit: the replay just showed again and it’s 0:00 while the ball is still in the air lol

[u/Throwawayerrydayyy → u/one_lucky_duck]

They genuinely MUST release the full audio recording of the review process for that bs

[u/RallyPigeon → u/Throwawayerrydayyy]

100% "unfortunately, there was a technical difficulty and the audio can't be recovered" in this situation

[u/APigInANixonMask → u/RallyPigeon]

The refs turned their body cams off.

[u/Severe-Lake-4554 → u/one_lucky_duck]

Fair play to NBC for not just moving on. ESPN or Fox would have cut away and continues to call it a miracle. 

[u/StPatrickofIreland → u/Severe-Lake-4554]

Can we get one of those Louisiana judges to issue an injunction on this

[u/PUfelix85 → u/one_lucky_duck]

The fact that they had it under review before the play was over is just obviously bullshit. This game was over. WMU should claim this as a win all season.

[u/OnePerformance9381 → u/PUfelix85]

You absolutely know they’re in that locker room talking about how they beat Michigan right now.

[u/jon__koa → u/one_lucky_duck]

Even Terry didn’t see it!

[u/Warm-Will-7861 → u/one_lucky_duck]

Teams are allowed to submit like 3 plays a week for “review”. They’ll come out and privately disclose they fucked it up but do nothing about the outcome of the game

[u/CellAlone4653 → u/one_lucky_duck]

They’ll review it, say the refs made an error and time should have expired, but they can’t change the outcome of the game because they must respect the outcome on the field.

[u/brmgp1 → u/CellAlone4653]

Normally I’d agree but this is an instance where they would be justified to change the result. The game was literally over and the next play should not have been allowed. Pretty cut and dry here

[u/hobbitnamedfrod0 → u/one_lucky_duck]

Investigate those refs. Someone had money on the line.

[u/RememberTheShowDoug]

Zero seconds left. Clearly.

[u/stat_padford → u/RememberTheShowDoug]

Wasn’t particularly close either these guys really felt like they didn’t give a shit huh

[u/reddituseerr12 → u/RememberTheShowDoug]

I get if they originally ruled 1 second was left if they let it stand but how the hell do you put a second back after that with evidence clearly showing time expired?

[u/Super_Walrus1337 → u/reddituseerr12]

Gross incompetence or foul play

[u/GetsThruBuckner]

Man this sport has really just lost all credibility huh

[u/Purple-Bookkeeper832 → u/GetsThruBuckner]

Crazy how something this blatant just makes me never want to watch CFB because it's all just BS.

[u/acewing → u/Purple-Bookkeeper832]

Between examples like this and the 2.5 extra hours of ads, I’m honestly thinking there are better ways to spend my saturdays

[u/CertifiedMaleniaSimp → u/acewing]

Ever since I was a kid, I loved college football and didn't care about the NFL really at all.

The last few years have done a great job of completely flipping that. I barely watch college anymore and I'm almost at the point that I have no interest in paying attention to it at all.

[u/Quick-Difference3267 → u/CertifiedMaleniaSimp]

I’m the same way. College is just NFL Light now anyway with all the NIL bullshit.

[u/idkimbored35 → u/GetsThruBuckner]

Shit like this makes me hate the sport. CFB is so shit now.

[u/TravelNSee → u/GetsThruBuckner]

Our society if over man. We literally just let corrupt men lie and steal.

[u/aurules]

Rushing the field after this is embarrassing LMAO

[u/Consistent-Engine307]

I think all conferences need to adopt what the ACC did hook the review center and refs up on mics. We need to hear what bullshit they conjured up to justify that decision.

[u/kaputt1669 → u/Consistent-Engine307]

The ACC only did that after out cry from their own suspicious handling of a hailmary in the Miami VT game a few years back. 

[u/RallyPigeon → u/Consistent-Engine307]

Do you think the powers that be want you to hear what happened tonight?

[u/GrizzGump]

I’d be committing crimes after this.

[u/flyingwhitey182 → u/GrizzGump]

I'd lose my WMU head coach job in the presser after this for sure. 

[u/GrizzGump → u/flyingwhitey182]

I probably wouldn’t make it off the field after my aneurysm.

[u/TravelNSee → u/GrizzGump]

Honestly man we just need a societal reset. There are a bunch of very very shady rich men gutting us from the inside like parasites.

[u/itsabearcannon]

So we all agree the refs 100% sold that for Michigan, right?

Clock was VERY clearly at :00 when that ball was caught.

[u/2ktx2000 → u/itsabearcannon]

Against a G5 team so it’ll be moved past.

[u/Brasticus → u/2ktx2000]

Nah, this is now beyond the Appalachian State game. The other team won AND they got jobbed.

[u/enviousbuckeye → u/itsabearcannon]

NBC announcers legitimately said they can’t understand how the game was not over

Because it was fucking over

[u/MIAdolphins96]

1 second from where? And rushing the field? Have some shame.

[u/SplitImage__ → u/MIAdolphins96]

Embarrassing

[u/DrFunnyBot789 → u/SplitImage__]

Yeah. Rushing the field is embarrassing. They won a national title two years ago. 

[u/TheBoilerCat → u/MIAdolphins96]

1 second from gotta win the game three times to actually win it

[u/joebreezy12 → u/MIAdolphins96]

Rushing the field to beat WMU. losers lol

[u/sgt_science → u/MIAdolphins96]

Rushing the field is insane

[u/XmasJaxonFlaxonWaxen]

Can Western Michigan appeal the outcome of the game? I mean there is video evidence…

[u/Walter30573 → u/XmasJaxonFlaxonWaxen]

Oklahoma State had a similar, and even worse, instance like 10 years ago. Game was literally over, by rule, and the refs incorrectly gave their opponents an untimed down where they won on a hail mary. Not even a bullshit extra second, they literally misinterpreted the rules to give them an extra play.

OSU were basically told to pound sand and got a lot of clowning when they claimed to have won the game on their end of year bowl rings I believe

[u/Conglossian]

I’ve lost all respect sorry this is absolutely rigged for money... Or ratings in not sure which. I won’t be silent . Just saw it live sry.

[u/bearinsac → u/Conglossian]

This sport is so fucking broken.

[u/suzukigun4life]

There’s 0 chance there was a second left on that clock.

[u/Perry7609 → u/suzukigun4life]

I’m gonna need to see a simultaneous shot of whatever clock the refs were looking at with when the defender touched the ball. NBC just said their clock was in sync with the game clock (or so they assumed) and it clearly showed 0 seconds.

Edit: They just posted their side by side. It’s not the same as NBC’s.

https://www.threads.com/share/JrEXgacnc/

[u/Aaron90495 → u/suzukigun4life]

I reeeeally hope the refs have a different clock than the broadcast bc otherwise it’s inexcusable 

Edit: ope they just said on the broadcast that they’re synced lol

[u/Mr-Who]

Where'd the second come from

[u/a__nice__tnetennba → u/Mr-Who]

FanDuel

[u/fuchsia_fascia]

Rigged

[u/Unique_Pirate_7375]

Rigged

[u/RustyNipples35]

Holy bailout

[u/loganro → u/RustyNipples35]

Imagine rushing the field lol good win lmao

[u/GoudaBenHur → u/RustyNipples35]

Rushing the field against Western Michigan. I have no dog in the fight and I feel absolute embarrassment watching that shit from Michigan fans

[u/TomasRoncero]

investigate

[u/pdiddy2499]

Refs had money on Michigan

[u/yeyiyeyiyo → u/pdiddy2499]

The game ending brought to you by Polymarket

[u/Str8UpJorking → u/pdiddy2499]

No, they placed a prediction - it’s totally different ^/s

[u/feens27]

Western Michigan got so screwed. The game was over. How was there a second left on the clock.

[u/Klightgrove → u/feens27]

Time for the CFB poll to do the right thing and treat this as a loss for Michigan anyways, hopefully the AP follows suite.

[u/TimeDielation]

Also how are you not embarrassed as a fan storming the field for that 

[u/Tsquared10]

Refball

[u/K3T9Q_]

ROBBED

[u/SC_Fan_55]

Absolute. Total. Bullshit.

I’ve seen some screw jobs, but that one takes the god damn cake.

[u/PracticingStoicism]

That was a game stolen by the big ten conference. These refs deserve to be fired immediately. This is the most rigged game I've ever seen

[u/Apart_Selection7722]

BULLSHIT

[u/Zloggt]

Unironically have never been more pissed about a game without my teams like this in a while

[u/luisstrikesout]

We all agree that the refs screwed over Western Michigan right ?

[u/CodyRCantrell]

No facemask call in front of an official.

No roughing the kicker called.

No holding called on that final drive against Michigan.

Rigging an extra 00:01 on the clock to allow a second final play.

I hope OU hangs 70 on them next week. Fuck these refs, they need to be investigated.

[u/SCIPM → u/CodyRCantrell]

The whole country will be rooting for you

[u/jordan142142]

Trash bullshit

[u/heliosflama1234]

This isn’t a highlight. This is a rigging scandal in real time. This is embarrassing for the sport

[u/DragosReborn7]

What little faith I had left in the spirit of this sport just died. Robbed an incredible performance from the Broncos tonight because the refs don’t know the rules

[u/Propuhganduh]

WHAT THE FUCK

Undeserved

[u/Top-Attitude-4987]

One of the greatest refballs of all time. There was 0 seconds left and they put back a second for absolutely no reason. Someone needs to be investigated.

[u/Icy-Cabinet-3659]

Investigate and imprison

[u/tony971]

Michigan has been reduced to storming the field for a directional school and im still fucking livid

[u/croosht_hoost]

This might be it for me. Gambling has ruined all sports. Why watch if there’s so much cheating?

[u/KyloRad]

Never seen anything more rigged in my life 💀

[u/Equal_Issue_1059]

Why even watch cfb anymore when the refs are the ones that determines the game. It was 0000 before rhe ball hit the ground on the first hail mary.

Im so fucking mad for western michigan

[u/Peacefulzealot]

Rigged as fuck.

[u/woopwup]

Biggest robbery I’ve ever seen. The refs created an extra second from thin air

[u/SchmearDaBagel]

What a fucking fix. Feel bad for western Michigan, the game was over

[u/BlancoWey6922]

Bro college football sold tonight. Michigan doesn’t deserve shit

[u/No_Poet_7244]

I know it won’t happen, but the NCAA really needs to step in and rectify this post haste. This is the easiest thing to change because the bad call has direct and indisputable causality with the outcome; the only people who would be upset by this are Michigan fans.

[u/wingman02 → u/No_Poet_7244]

For the integrity of the game. Once that is lost, all is lost

[u/itsamemyusername]

Rigged

[u/SufferingfOrLife]

UN-FUCKING-BELIEVABLE

[u/322_Switch]

I don't root for any team, but when Bullshit like that happens I get pissed off.

Just reminds me why I stopped betting on sports years ago, too much replay bullshit goes on

[u/LinkSeekeroftheNora]

This is the most rigged game in the history of college football.

[u/oh_io_94]

Rigged. Should be an investigation into this. 100% cheated. Again.

[u/Greekwarrior06]

FBI needs to investigate this

[u/juanzy]

Literally every replay shows 0:00 well before the ball is dead

[u/ComicSportsNerd]

this sport seriously needs to be boycotted its not even funny this blatant cheating and bullshit from betting

[u/HogGunner1983]

Game was just stolen from Western MI. No way there was 1 second left when the ball hit the ground.

[u/100seriesLC]

I feel so bad for Western Michigan. Refs stole that from them

[u/vERRA__]

Man I feel bad for WMU. Dudes played damn well & deserved to win

[u/AlecL]

Corruption

[u/SpencerRattler]

WMU absolutely robbed by game clock operator home cooking.

[u/Even_Finding159]

Idk whats worse, the refs or Michigan fans storming the field

[u/Ok-Control-3954]

Somehow they found an outcome worse than losing. What a disgrace

[u/AuspiciousOtter24]

Rigged 

[u/holdfor2023]

I’m sick for WMU

[u/shartfartmctart]

i think the ncaa should be abolished and replaced with an assortment of monkeys throwing shit at a wall to see what sticks

[u/ad51603]

College football is completely fixed against mid majors from top to bottom

[u/putalittlepooponit]

The call was placed to give them a fake second and they storm the fucking field lmao

[u/Irritated_User0010]

Referees continue to be useless specimens as usual.

[u/mironsy]

Most rigged ending I’ve ever seen

[u/OsuLost31to0]

Storming the field is an all time embarrassment here

[u/Vegetable_Kale_1331]

I guess cheating for the National Championship wasn’t enough… lmao

[u/StupidCamel1228 → u/Vegetable_Kale_1331]

with how awful they look this game was probably their national championship

[u/D1N2Y → u/Vegetable_Kale_1331]

With how they rushed the field, you would think they just beat a top-10 team and not a MAC school. Truly a Michigan man moment all around.

[u/icantsppell]

This win only stains Michigan’s reputation even more. Holy bailout, it wasn’t even close. Game was over.

[u/xX_GIGA_MAN_Xx]

storming the field for beating Western Michigan is insane what the hell are they doing

[u/Useenthebutcher]

This was robbery. The clock expired while the ball was in the air on the previous play. Western Michigan won the game.

This should be the one time where a retroactive change of result should happen.

[u/brsnug]

1 - That was absolute fucking bullshit by the refs to put the second back on the clock.

2 - Did Noah Eagle really say "will this be shades of the 2013 Iron Bowl" when MICHIGAN is about to throw a Hail mary?

3 - Scumbag job by Noah Eagle and Todd Blackledge for not mentioning it once after the fact.

[u/shootingstar988 → u/brsnug]

when i heard them mention the iron bowl i was like NO fucking way. i knew it was over

[u/tdime23]

Fucking horseshit. Time was dead

[u/notanamateur]

Draft kings is undefeated

Absolute fuckin bs

[u/DaddyQuaad]

Imagine rushing the field when you’re a 4 TD point favorite. At home.

[u/SteelyEyedHistory]

How can you watch this and not immediately assume this was rigged?
