BS call giving them an extra second.

[zipsrule]

The clock was at 0:00

[LZIp]

Worst call ever. There was no time left on the clock!!

wow. so rigged

[ZippyDoo]

the announcers can't even justify it right now !!!  they just said their clock is *NSYNC with the Enfield. Clock showed it in replay and said you can clearly tell the ball is not touched by anyone when the clock expires nobody can justify nobody can explain it.  The announcer said the Big Ten has some explaining to do this week.

[MDZip]

Terry MaCauley couldn't explain it. Friggin Michigan fans rushing the field after being lucky to beat a MAC team. I hope they finish 0-9 in the Big Ten if that's the best they can do against WMU. 1-8 I guess if they play Rutgers. 

[ZippyDoo]

there's no way the Big Ten could risk having a 16th ranked team in the country lose to a Mac team after Rutgers just got embarrassed by UMASS...

 

had to cheat and give them every second possible

This did not hold up well.  Silly me for seeing the clock at 0 and thinking the game was over, but somehow it was not over.

[AkronAlumnus]

I've always wondered when there are 0.4 seconds left for example, does the stadium clock show 0:01 or 0:00?
 

[AkronAlumnus]

Great game!!

[ZippyDoo]

at first they tried to say since the defender was out bounds when he jumped and he was the first one to touch it, they had to add a second 

 

i was like WTF are u talking about? 

 

then after the game they clearly showed time was expired.  i hope nobody holds back it would be worth the fines

If the Big Ten told Steinbrecher to lick white dog 💩, he'd be like a kid in a 90s candy commercial. Between Wistrcill siding with Stankey and the consistent lap dog behavior from Steinbrecher, it's hard to see a future where the G5 has the balls to improve their situation.

Imagine is the scenario was reversed and WMU had been trying to score the go ahead TD. Does anybody really believe there would have even been a review? Nope. Game over. Move on WMU and cash your check. Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.

There would 100% have been a review.

 

Call wouldn't have been overturned, but they'd have reviewed it.

I see one. It's one where the G5 conferences come together and create their own division and stop playing P4 schools. These schools would offer scholarships and stipends like the military academies pay their attendees (at some schools, ROTC members make a stipend of around$400 per month). If the players want to earn money elsewhere, that's up to them and whatever agent they may have. They must  be on a path to graduation. There would be a structure for coach pay and staff structure and headcount. Players get one transfer. One additional transfer if the coach that recruited them gets fired. Five years of college football at any level is enough. If a player gets cut, the school must continue to pay their scholarship and monthly stipend for as long as that student attends the university. Limit the influence of athletic departments to day to day management of their departments and no influence in revenue generation. Share TV revenue and no team shall have more than one game a year played on any day except Saturday. Regionalized teams, 11 game season, regional winners make a playoff system and crown a champion before, on or the first weekend after January 1. 

 

I think this would be a good start.

Strange things happen in the Big House when the MAC visits. Years ago the Zips went up north and outplayed UM. We got the ball down to the UM 2 yard line with 40+ seconds left, but we had no timeouts. The refs took over 30 seconds to spot the ball thus taking two plays away from us. We failed on the one play we had to punch it in for the win. I respect the Big Ten, but I can't stand Michigan.
