Yeah, that was some Ol’ Bullshit, Grand-dad. How long were they gonna let him keep trying to get in after forward progress was stopped? How soon would they have thrown a flag if a defender had attempted to lay a hit on him while doing it?

:rolleyes:

Might be hard for MSU to beat Michigan when they have 3 or 4 extra players (in stripes) on the field.

I would buy that if it weren’t for that ridiculous ejection of a Michigan player. I think we are going to have to use Occam’s Razor and agree the refs are not biased… Just terrible.

Yeah, okay. Did you just see that last “No call” for PI?

Well FSU finally wins in somewhat convincing fashion and more importantly does so with Dalvin Cook only getting 163 on the ground. We actually threw the ball well.

I predict we’ll drop to #14 in the AP Poll.

Did you see the absurd late hit to give MSU a first down on 4th? The shitty calls are wildly in favor of them, with a decent reffing crew this game wouldn’t even be close.

I’m switching back and forth between games. Missed the 4th down. Alabama is pulling away, so maybe I’ll just shit-can that and watch the end of the MSU game.

Man If Michigan had a QB with an arm, they would be a serious threat this year.

Jesus Christ! :eek:

Go Sparty!

I just had this feeling when they lined up to kick. Incredible! 😃

That punter better get into Witness Protection, _NOW!_

HOLY HELL!

I’m not much of a college fan, but that was a soul-crushing way for Michigan to lose at home.

Well that was a contender for the worst play in football history.

Nah. Roy Riegels has a death grip on that distinction for eternity, though this definitely gets a dishonorable mention.

I’d nominate this one:

[![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/2iHrMY9Odlw/hqdefault.jpg "2004: Scott Starks fumble return TD @ Purdue") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2iHrMY9Odlw)

At that point Purdue was undefeated and highly ranked and Orton was the leading contender for the Heisman. Since then, Purdue has not had a winning season. Not sure Orton got any votes for the Heisman.

Zipadee doo dah! I had given up on MSU when their last 4th down play came up short. To win like this against that team in their big house is one for the ages. Now let’s give the Hoosiers a spanking next week, take a week off, then on to Lincoln. That last play ranks right up there with the Stanford band play. That Paul Bunyan trophy may be CFB’s ugliest, but I’m glad it’s staying here.

WILD first half in South Bend! I’ve got a bad feel about the outcome, but this sure has been an exciting 2 quarters.

_Fight On!_

LSU-Florida was a great game; it turns out the best defense in the country still can’t stop Leonard Fournette, they can just slow him down.

I think the SEC champion (and BCS playoff team) will be the winner of the LSU-Alabama game in a few weeks.
