  • Indisputable video evidence. Why are they throwing things onto the field???!!!

    Michigan fans should be ashamed of themselves!
    I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

        • It was totally opposite of what we thought. The over-under on this one was way, way over...

          • Michigan is going to be 8-3 or 7-4 going into the bowls this season. Right now, I'm predicting losses to Wisconsin and Iowa, and either Michigan State or Ohio State.

                  Worst Call Ever.

                  I saw it as well. It took great restraint for both my wife and myself not to destroy the TV. not that we care too much, just the level of stupidity was amazing. And I do dislike K-state considerably.

                    I am. We never so stuff like that.

                    I am also ashamed of the players' effort, and the coaches' playcalling.

                    But, other than that, no problem.

                      Not quite the dumbest thing ever.

                      A couple years ago, in a I-AA game (I think), the following situation occured.

                      Team A trailed Team B by 5 with seconds left in the game. They scored a TD to go up by one with three seconds left. The coach then elected to go for the two-point conversion. Keep in mind that there were THREE SECONDS LEFT. The pass was intercepted and returned the length of the field for a 2-point defensive conversion, and Team B won by a point.

                      • Eh... while dumb, I think it's less dumb than what Marshall did today. After all, it's pretty rare to have a pass intercepted on a 2 point conversion and having the team run it back all the way... even though there was no way the other team could have scored a FG.

                        • Less dumb? Are you kidding?

                          That wasn't an easy FG that Marshall passed up; it wasn't unreasonable to try to get closer. Moderate risk, moderate reward.

                          There was no advantage, none whatsoever, in going for two in the game I saw. All risk, no reward.

                            I can only conclude that through some reason God actually did want K-State to win and did everything possible to make it happen in the end.

                              Yes, less dumb. It was LESS than a 35 yard FG! If you can't make a 32 yard FG, then you aren't a football team. It was totally unreasonable to call a pass. You have to know there is a possibility that it may be intercepted. You run the ball to the middle of the field, call time out and then kick it.

                              Running back an int on a 2 point conversion is something very rare so that move was less dumb.

                              Btw, you never figured on finding out what the point spread was on that 1-AA game, did you?

                              • I thought you said they were at the 25yd line? That would be a 42yd FG.

                                That would make it considerably more dumb than if it were a 40+ yd, but still not as dumb as the thing I described.

                                Let us just agree that both are insufferably dumb.
