When CJ Carr goes to watch his brother Tommy Carr play, it’s a great story. But when a friend of mine goes to watch my son Ryan Day play, Pete Thamel throws a fit.
11 years ago, we rallied as the Michigan community around a family. We prayed for them, we wore orange for them, & we cried with them one horrible day in November.
Today, that little boy beside his grandpa, 2nd from right, walked back onto that field and led Michigan to victory.
@RGIII@OuttaPocketRG3 The stadium clock was right. TV clock was wrong. Michigan played by the clock in the stadium.
The officials screwed up the protocol, not the actual time.
The clock in the stadium is the clock players and coaches make decisions based on. Who cares about the wrong time on tv?
Absolutely. I went deep dive on this. There are lots of angles out there, you can stopwatch the play and all sorts of things. There are explanations on why the NBC broadcast slowly diverts from the pregame "sync."
I went into it believing Western Michigan got screwed but after reviewing it all and talking to experts, there was time left. There just was. Michigan deserved the extra play.
The replay protocols were not followed - which is what the MAC protested and the NCAA is saying - but in real life, in the actual stadium, under the actual clock, Michigan won.
Believe whatever you want, doesn't matter to me. In the end this is a game that is always imprecise - spotting the ball, the clock, etc - so expecting it to be precise at the end might be too much. But the facts are the facts here.
This is one of the most flawed, incoherent arguments the NCAA has ever made.
The NCAA claims that the proper protocol is to use the incorrect TV game clock rather than the correct in-stadium clock seen by the players, coaches and officials.
That makes no sense whatsoever.
What a win!
The difference from week one to week two is nuts. They have a chance to win every game they play with a defense like that!
How about Bryce for answering the bell?!
I've seen a lot of people still struggling with understanding what happened at the end of the UM WMU game. With the release of what I consider to be the best angle (shows both the play and the in-stadium clock in HD), I did my best to provide context surrounding the play.
@Pissedofffeline You saw this picture and thought it was the “Gayest most faggot picture in all of history” and you just had to comment on it lol that’s pretty gay of you.
@m477h3wT What? No football game will ever be a life defining moment for me. I’ve been to a lot of games and I’ll probably go to many more. Some wins, some losses, some close calls. It’s football man.
