Regardless, I guess everyone outside of Michigan is in good hands with Whittingham at Michigan.

People complain about bad officiating whenever calls don't go their way.

THAT.  Was ******* bad officiating.  Western Michigan got hosed!

[AKHoosier]

So I guess we just witnessed the launching of Bryce Underwood's Heisman campaign?

Feel horrible for WMU but it is somewhat negated by the fact that either Kiffin or Dabo, Dabo, Doo has to lose tonight.

Clemson, as a program, is circling  the drain.

Can Western file an appeal?

No. Occasionally the league office will admit mistakes, but doesn't change the outcome.

Whittingham answers questions like he hasn’t quite woken up from his nap.

I was getting ready to post Roy Robinson "It's Over", glad I waited.......:-)

Clearly he had something going at Utah, but gives off "I wish I had retired" vibes. I really hope they go 6-6 and end up in the Poulon Weedeater Bowl.

NCAA football's version of Dale Brown.

Can't wait to hear how amazing LSU is because they are beating the heck out of poverty program Clemson

[HinnyHoosier]

One of my best friends is also one of the biggest Michigan die hards you'll ever meet. Even he says Michigan shouldn't have gotten that play.

His last 3 years he was 8-5, 5-7, 10-2 and now finds himself in the BT with a mediocre overrated QB. I won’t be surprised if they go 5-7.

Feel awful for WMU.  Awful ruling.  
 

Granted, I think you could have called an interference on the first one.  One guy got yanked into oblivion but it seems calls are never made in those circumstances.  Really, really wanted to see that L.

Since the ball was thrown over the end zone, it would be "uncatchable", and therefore PI would not have applied. 

Or, since the ball was tipped, PI would not have applied.

Since the refs can't read a clock, Michigan got an extra play that wasn't not warranted.

[RoadRage]

If Western Michigan had not got cute on that 3rd and 3 on their last drive and ended up just having to dive on the bad snap, there would not have been time left. Any kind of a run there would have taken 2 or 3 more seconds off the clock. Regardless, IU fans know what it feels like to get hosed at Michigan!

Whittingham's five year deal at Michigan averages $8.2 million per year. The deal is 75% guaranteed, and Whittingham is expected to make $8 million in salary in 2026.

So his buyout is about $30 million after this season.

I’d really like to know who called for the review on that. I’ve watched that multiple times now and I don’t see any way in the world that, forget anyone on the field, anyone at the replay center could have watched that in real time and thought, “Hey, the 1st guy who touched it was out of bounds, so maybe there’s time left,” and not only made that call, but made it in a split second.

Not usually conspiracy guy at all but this one feels really, really gross.

[skhoosier2]

Embarrassment of a program. B1G referee crew needs to be investigated and dismissed. Oklahoma going to leave no doubt next week. I hope we curb stomp them week 8.

Big Ten replay crew in the booth. Believe it’s a MAC crew on the field. So, yeah.

I'm sure Michigan will produce a freeze frame of their player touching the ball and a clock showing 1 second, someone is probably working on that right now!
