[MLFootball] Michigan head coach Kyle Whittingham admitted to Western Michigan HC Lance Taylor after the game that there was zero time left on the clock: "There wasn't time."

[u/DweltElephant0]

I couldn’t see the whole convo between Taylor and Whitt, but he very clearly said before he walked away “I don’t know what to say.”

He knows it was over and I don’t think he feels good about it

[u/reddituser84 → u/DweltElephant0]

He seemed spooked in his post game interview.

[u/CommissionIcy9909 → u/[deleted]]

Yep. I said to my buddy “this guy isn’t an ego maniac. he knows exactly what happened and he hates it”.

[u/Alert_Hyena_828 → u/CommissionIcy9909]

After watching many Oregon Utah games over the year I do respect him and he seems like a decent dude (not gonna get into the injury stuff I read last week)… you could tell he knew they got whipped and it was 00:00 and they didn’t deserve that

[u/BlazinAzn38 → u/CommissionIcy9909]

He’s always been a straight shooter and I actually believe he’d rather lose than win that way

[u/SpinTactix → u/[deleted]]

Considering his ranked B1G team functionally lost to a MAC team, that doesn't surprise me. He's thinking about what he needs to fix.

[u/thewhat962 → u/SpinTactix]

Yeah, he is starting practice with a meeting establishing with the players that was a loss. Honestly lossing might been better. I can see players accepting this and just being relief they won and say them almost lossing was the fluke.

Unless UM just played their worst football game since app state out of the blu this season is gona be a long one.

[u/goblueM → u/thewhat962]

I would have 100% preferred a loss. We did not play well enough to win

Disgusting to see fans rushing the field

Disgusting to see Underwood peacocking around after that abysmal performance

Disgusting to see WMU jobbed

[u/ProbablyRickSantorum → u/reddituser84]

And in the press conference he said "I'm pretty sure there was one second left" because someone in admin probably told him that they can't admit time expired.

[u/FarmKid55 → u/reddituser84]

That’s what I got too

[u/yoshizillaa → u/reddituser84]

Probably concerned he’s gonna get called a cheater or something lol

[u/BusterBluth13 → u/DweltElephant0]

He's probably more worried about the rest of the season, given that they were in that situation in the first place.

[u/Free-Eights → u/DweltElephant0]

Yeah it looks more like "I don't know what to say" from the clip I saw online but entirely possible he also said "There wasn't time"

No one should feel good about that. We were shit and deserved to lose that game.

[u/Ok_Program_1417 → u/Free-Eights]

you did lose the game

[u/noquarter1000 → u/DweltElephant0]

I wouldn’t be surprised if he says something about it. While i have to hate him now because…scUM, he always seemed like a stand up guy

[u/Loud_Suggestion_7208]

Wow

[u/ninjupX → u/Loud_Suggestion_7208]

big 10 should have texted him to play along, this is new territory for him

[u/illcounsel → u/ninjupX]

"I know you come from Mormon country, but this is the Midwest. We can lie, especially to our doctors about how much we drink."

[u/hwf0712 → u/ninjupX]

Michigan made a major mistake by letting him hire more Mormons to the staff.

What's the best way to keep a Mormon from drinking your beer?

Invite a second.

[u/theunpossibledream → u/hwf0712]

IMHO the joke works better as: Why do you always take two Mormons fishing with you? If you take one he'll drink all your beer.

[u/TheRealMarvinator → u/theunpossibledream]

I always heard that one as Baptists. Then again, I grew up in the Baptist church, so...

[u/Apatschinn → u/TheRealMarvinator]

I grew up in the Lutheran Church and the joke was about Baptists, too.

[u/ProudMtns → u/Apatschinn]

I grew up a Baptist and they were all drunks that liked to fish so I never understood the joke.

[u/hwf0712 → u/theunpossibledream]

Thank you for correcting, as a New Jerseyan I don't have many reasons to break out mormon jokes, so I tend to forget lmao

[u/Andy_Wiggins → u/Loud_Suggestion_7208]

I’m not a great lip reader, but I’m not really sure he actually said that.

[u/Careless_Working_898 → u/Andy_Wiggins]

Need a jomboy breakdown on this one

[u/impy695 → u/Andy_Wiggins]

And I'm not sure I trust a twitter account that types in all caps and calls this one of the greatest scandals in CFB history. It's bad, but there have been some pretty nasty scandals. They don't care about accuracy, just attention

[u/Mercer-Dawg]

The refs for this game shouldn’t be allowed to work another game

[u/puns_are_how_eyeroll → u/Mercer-Dawg]

They, and the replay booth should all be fired.

[u/zgohanz → u/puns_are_how_eyeroll]

Check their bank and betting accounts too

[u/TJ_Will → u/zgohanz]

Who would be shocked if someone made $250,000 on Kalshi on that last drive?

[u/SaltyLonghorn → u/TJ_Will]

Its all a diversion while private equity comes in and sells mystery meat and raises the price of beers $3 a can.

[u/AbsolutelyHung → u/SaltyLonghorn]

Mystery meats okay with me, but an extra $3 per beer is where I draw the line. That’s ridiculous.

[u/Excellent-Gur-8547 → u/zgohanz]

What if we just made all this shit illegal again? Can we please? It's fucking cancerous.

[u/Revenge_of_the_Khaki → u/Mercer-Dawg]

And they were this dogshit all game. Ultimately it ended in Michigan's favor obviously, but this fuck up is really overshadowing like 6 other horrific calls and even reviews going both ways. Wtf is the B1G even doing?

[u/hfamrman → u/Revenge_of_the_Khaki]

Those Pac12 refs had to go somewhere.

[u/GiraffesAndGin → u/Revenge_of_the_Khaki]

Very much agreed. Just a few minutes prior WMU had a first down given to them after review, and it sure seemed like the runner was at least a yard short.

[u/Me_is_Nate]

Good sign when the winners admit it was rigged

[u/MediumStrange → u/Me_is_Nate]

I mean thats the best you can do. You play the game how the refs tell you to, but if we admit that was some real fucking bullshit it will make me respect whittingham alot more.

[u/VancouverStickerCo → u/MediumStrange]

Wittingham is known as a pretty straight shooter, and owns his shit when he steps in it. I’ve always had a lot of respect for the way he does the job.

It might piss off some boosters, but he’s exactly what a program like Michigan needs. Transparent objective honesty, and we’re about to get heaps of it from that program.

[u/Swazi → u/VancouverStickerCo]

Hope he makes the offenses life hell this week

[u/VancouverStickerCo → u/Swazi]

That team on the field looked nothing like Utah did when he was constantly wrecking seasons on the PAC.

I have full faith he’s gonna fix a lot of what’s broken.

[u/Swazi → u/VancouverStickerCo]

I have faith but it was pretty depressing seeing that OL not getting a whole lot of push up front against a smaller line in Western.

Did Sherrone really fuck up the program this bad that a full spring and fall camp with Kyle damn Whittingham isn’t enough?

[u/Aquaman33 → u/Swazi]

A brand new coach means the program takes some time to adjust 100% of the time in the transfer era. He still needs to (with his coaches) change habits they learned from very different people at very malleable teen ages to what he wants.

It's why I still have misguided belichick hope even though I hate his ass and am a Brady truther (who I hate but less)

[u/Kumbackkid → u/MediumStrange]

Yea it’s weird for anyone to think he should have just threw in the towel when bad reffing gave him another shot. He would have quickly gone on the chopping block

[u/Dead_Baby_Kicker → u/MediumStrange]

They could forfeit if they really wanted to stir some shit

[u/gunpowderjunky → u/Dead_Baby_Kicker]

Can you forfeit a game after it has been played? I mean they could try but I don't think that's a thing.

[u/Dead_Baby_Kicker → u/gunpowderjunky]

If the AD comes out and says they forfeit and will record the game as a loss, it would probably happen.

And the B1G commissioner can void games at his discretion if I am not mistaken.

[u/OwlOdyssey → u/Dead_Baby_Kicker]

If the AD comes out and says they forfeit and will record the game as a loss, it would probably happen.

Our AD is a massive piece of shit who has defended some serious shit. We're lucky he's going, but he should have been fired ages ago (without the paycheck and buyout to boot). I genuinely don't think I can pick which atrocity is the worst because they're all god awful. He's true scum.

All that said, he'd never vacate the win. We may have a Mormon on the field, but Satan is in the office. He's likely celebrating this and staunchly defending the decision to give the extra second.

[u/-OptimisticNihilism- → u/Me_is_Nate]

I’ll be impressed when he says that on record.

[u/RemoteGlobal335]

And Bryce Underwood still mean mug strutted around the entire field

[u/Raptor535 → u/RemoteGlobal335]

He’s making himself very difficult to root for

[u/jadeddog → u/[deleted]]

That was one of the worst game by a Michigan QB I've ever seen. Players can have bad games, I get it, but he is doing the same things he did all of last year. He didn't improve even a single percent. Hopefully the coaches have the balls to at least give Carr a chance, but he is a true fresh, so can't expect much there either

[u/nannulators → u/jadeddog]

He was great in that scripted drive and then immediately reverted to playing exactly how everyone expected him to play based on last year.

[u/The_Homie_J → u/[deleted]]

If Tommy Carr isn't taking QB1 reps in practice this week, then the coaching staff has lost it (if they ever had it)

[u/rhino429 → u/The_Homie_J]

I will gladly never cheer for Michigan being a spartan, just like I would never expect a Wolverine to cheer for the Spartans. But the entire second half I was sitting there in the recliner that they needed to put Tommy Carr in there to see what he could do, and they never did. I get they pay underwood the big bucks but my god. He just wasn’t good tonight. At all.

[u/ZookeepergameOk8089 → u/Raptor535]

Agreed. I would be okay if he never starts another game.

[u/Exact-Reference9564 → u/ZookeepergameOk8089]

Will the coaches be allowed to bench him considering the $$$ that was spent to keep him from going to LSU?

[u/honeypinn → u/Exact-Reference9564]

I think there is enormous pressure to keep him on the field for that reason.

[u/ZookeepergameOk8089 → u/Exact-Reference9564]

It’s just boosters falling for a sunk-cost fallacy. Bryce is a bust. He refuses to think on the field even though he “looks good in practice”. Hopefully the money men will see the light and we can all just move on.

[u/Adams5thaccount → u/RemoteGlobal335]

I'll give the players the grace that there's no way they knew what we knew in the moment.

[u/Yay_nascar_donuts → u/RemoteGlobal335]

He sucks ass

[u/Fun_Perception1842]

As a Michigan fan, there was zero time left on the clock. I was shocked when they added a second back on

[u/Key_Environment8179 → u/Fun_Perception1842]

We had already turned the game off and were super confused by our friends’ texts

[u/No_Bill7679 → u/Key_Environment8179]

I turned the game off and switched over to LSU after the first replay because it clearly hit 0. Then they showed the replay with Michigan winning in the LSU game and I thought I was being pranked or that I was going crazy. “I just watched the game. It didn’t end that way? Am I getting dementia? Is this the opposite of Déjà vu? Am I sober? wtf is going on?” It was genuinely confusing and scary lol. I thought I might have gotten transferred to the wrong dimension for a second. It had never occurred to me that they would possibly add another second. My first concern wasn’t about how Michigan won, it was about how reality swapped for me.

[u/tylerdb7 → u/Key_Environment8179]

I turned the game off too

[u/ZeroEchoVX]

Respect the honesty, the fans storming the field is disgraceful

[u/roboh96 → u/ZeroEchoVX]

In their defense, with how the team looked, this might be their only chance this year to do it. "Yay, we beat a 27 point underdog on a last second play that was (rather obviously) after the last second."

[u/djsuperfly → u/roboh96]

In fairness, there's not necessarily supposed to be a "chance" every single year to do a field storming. (And quite frankly, if you choose to go to a school with a blue-blood football program, you should probably realize that you'll NEVER get to do it.)

[u/Hairiest_Walrus → u/djsuperfly]

Yeah, through all of the big wins of the Saban era, Alabama never stormed a single field. Michigan doing after barely scraping out a win against WMU is unbelievably embarrassing.

[u/axeil55 → u/ZeroEchoVX]

I really can't blame the fans at the game because if you were sitting in the stands you'd have no fucking clue what was going on.

[u/CWG4BF]

You know what, if this is how this sport wants to be, I’m glad it’s dying

[u/yeyiyeyiyo → u/CWG4BF]

NFL or Maction no in between.

[u/Helreaver → u/yeyiyeyiyo]

NFL has its "this shit has to be rigged" moments too. 2018 NFC championship game comes to mind when the Saints got fucked over by the most blatant no-call I've ever seen in my life.

[u/NotJayKayPeeness → u/Helreaver]

Yeah bud. That's the point.

[u/manbeardawg → u/Helreaver]

Yeah but it’s the Saints so it’s ok

[u/JohnnieTightLips → u/CWG4BF]

Even putting this game aside, college football refereeing has been so bad. You got guys out there making millions and playing for more millions. We can’t have amateur hour with the refs any longer

[u/joeychestnutsrectum → u/JohnnieTightLips]

Ref pay is all over the place depending on conference but no conference pays enough for it to be a full time job unfortunately. It needs to be.

[u/StoicFable → u/joeychestnutsrectum]

On top of that, we need more transparency in what the refs are saying during these types of close calls or reviews. When there is no review, or no justification for it, it leads to a lot of fans getting pissed and blaming them for rigging. Which, in some cases you just cannot blame them for thinking that way.

[u/dubVboater → u/CWG4BF]

If you’re not a fan of a top program what hope is there after this blatant bullshit? What hope do I have as a WVU fan if the whole system is rigged in favor of a team with more viewership/revenue? Might as well just skip the season and get back into WWE and shame on them for taking away something that big from those western Michigan players

[u/smmate → u/CWG4BF]

Forreal. I watched a single quarter all day. Sick of this bullshit

[u/Real_Guarantee_4530 → u/CWG4BF]

Agreed and it sucks when your team is good but the sport as a whole is dying.

[u/Healthy_Article_2237 → u/Real_Guarantee_4530]

Well it’s money that’s killing it. Just like money is killing a lot of businesses now, especially PE money. It’s all about profiting off a business while destroying it. College football will be no different. They need Michigan ranked for the game with OU next week.

[u/Trynaliveforjesus → u/Real_Guarantee_4530]

it was so gross watching the oregon game with 3 different advertisements on the field

[u/DuvalCrawlCouple → u/CWG4BF]

Nail in the coffin for NCAA football for me

[u/Icy-Recognition-8700 → u/CWG4BF]

It’s not dying is the thing, ratings are higher than ever

[u/JohnnieTightLips → u/Icy-Recognition-8700]

Every sport is up because of how they changed counting the ratings. I am not saying your wrong but the rating thing isn’t that convincing

[u/CaseFish]

60:01

[u/morganicsf → u/CaseFish]

Great stoppage time win from Michigan.

[u/TheMoneyMan08]

Desmond is still defending them.

[u/AngloSaxophoner → u/TheMoneyMan08]

I don’t get why though.. forget the 1 second. We didn’t deserve to win that game AT ALL.

And then we REALLY didn’t deserve to win that game.

[u/spicyorangedragon → u/AngloSaxophoner]

Yeah, given how poorly we played I would've been fine taking the loss. This win wasn't deserved by any stretch of the imagination. If they had a legit drive down the field to win the game, then fine. But they got an extra play they didn't earn.

[u/cheecheecago → u/TheMoneyMan08]

Dave Portly too

[u/WoodpeckerGingivitis → u/cheecheecago]

Ugh that motherfucker

[u/UnderAGroov → u/WoodpeckerGingivitis]

No self respecting Michigan fan claims him. He is and always will be an embarrassment to the university and football team.

[u/FoundTheShithead → u/UnderAGroov]

Every Michigan fan I've personally met is so proud of the academics and image of the university that I'm surprised he hasn't been sent a cease and desist letter for constantly associating himself with the university.

[u/UnderAGroov → u/FoundTheShithead]

It’s almost like money is more important than morals, ethics, or tact these days

[u/Free-Eights → u/FoundTheShithead]

He is a walking embodiment of the worst Michigan fan you've probably run into.

But, he does give a lot of money to the program which the university is all too happy to accept and lately we've had a lot more...uh...big picture shit to worry about than an annoying donor.

The one solace I can take is if that I have to be unhappy about Michigan losing at football, he's probably a lot more mad and gets a lot more heat for it.

[u/LuckyShirt54 → u/TheMoneyMan08]

He’s always been a bitch

[u/geoffreyisagiraffe → u/TheMoneyMan08]

It's indefensible but here we are

[u/Fricktator → u/TheMoneyMan08]

Desmond is a mouth breathing idiot that could be shown a video clip of the entire Michigan team stabbing a person to death and say "ahh, just kids being kids."

[u/Rockerblocker → u/Fricktator]

Throwback to when Chris Fowler tweeted a picture of a bridge being lit up blue and yellow in solidarity with Ukraine and Desmond's dumb ass responded "Go Blue!"

[u/1ToGreen3ToBasket → u/TheMoneyMan08]

I can’t believe he has had that job so long. He hasn’t said ONE smart or interesting thing the entire time

[u/terrell_owens]

Michigan lost that game. This is fuckin bullshit honestly. Sport is cooked

[u/Artistic-Spirit-8516]

LSU is so happy there’s some other bullshit to talk about

Edit: I was wrong.

[u/weirdbutinagoodway → u/Artistic-Spirit-8516]

Do you know nothing about Lane Kiffin? Now he will have to do something really crazy to get the spotlight back on him.

[u/BabyBearBjorns → u/weirdbutinagoodway]

Lane Kiffin spotted banging female alligators in Pierre Part.

[u/ScallywagBeowulf]

Oh so they admit it too? Then this should be overturned and Western Michigan is given the win.

[u/GuyOnTheMike → u/ScallywagBeowulf]

Yeah Kyle, see 1940 Cornell vs. Dartmouth and put your balls on the line

[u/TheZona → u/GuyOnTheMike]

This guy knows ball

[u/Stellarbelly_Korz30 → u/GuyOnTheMike]

I love a legit history lesson! Thank you stranger sir

[u/amandashartstein → u/ScallywagBeowulf]

Oh my god he admit it! You have to marry your mother in law

[u/tombrady011235 → u/ScallywagBeowulf]

Please consider the sports bettors before saying this

[u/ClaudeLemieux → u/tombrady011235]

If you bet on this game, in either direction, please call the help line lol

[u/Paper_Clip100]

Do you guys honestly think the NCAA would want Larry Ellisons wife to lose money?

Have you no shame?

[u/mrtrollmaster → u/Paper_Clip100]

Tbh, with the mega-donors and sports betting in their Wild West era, this all just feels so gross

[u/BR_95]

It’s not subjective like holding or PI, they won the game. I don’t see a good reason why in 2026 we have to pretend they didn’t.

[u/Fluid-Letter-7591 → u/[deleted]]

Jesus I just saw that. It was absolutely embarrassing

[u/destroyed233 → u/Fluid-Letter-7591]

Disgusting production

[u/Zealousideal-Fig-442 → u/[deleted]]

Yeah that was absolutely the start of memory-holing how this played out.

[u/Most-Associate-2110 → u/[deleted]]

Desmond and Pat are so insanely insufferable

[u/BenIsLowInfo → u/[deleted]]

There are sooo many Michigan alums in high media positions. It's not surprising

[u/AdventureDude24 → u/[deleted]]

I don’t watch their garbage production anymore. They have no dignity

[u/12darrenk → u/[deleted]]

Honestly it needs to go to the FBI's Crime and Corruption in Sport and Gaming (CCSG) program.

https://tips.fbi.gov/home

[u/ATLfinra]

How does this stand?!?!?! What happens to the refs or the scoreboard operator

[u/wit_T_user_name]

No shit.

[u/MirrorkatFeces]

Then it should be easy for the NCAA to correct the mistake, right?

[u/CubsFanHan → u/MirrorkatFeces]

The NCAA?

lol

[u/Appropriate_Bottle44]

I'd gain a lot of respect for Whittingham if he asked the NCAA to overturn this result.

That was an L. We all fucking know it was an L. I know the players were excited, the fans were excited, but that was a historic win for Western, that they 100% deserved, and frankly the refs missed a lot of other shit from a very undisciplined Michigan squad.

Western also has all of their goals in front of them, including a CFBP berth, so this isn't academic.

[u/Millies_ButtersMilk → u/Appropriate_Bottle44]

Frl. There wasn’t any time left on the clock there just wasn’t so idk how you can say we won this game. This was stolen from a team who straight up earned it by putting belt to ass all game so yeah this should be overturned.

[u/rindor1990]

So forfeit the win

[u/Simmumah → u/rindor1990]

Would require Warde Manuel to have an ounce of morality lol (he's still acting AD)

[u/BlueCheeseOnlyPlease → u/Simmumah]

How he's still employed is beyond me

[u/BIG_DICK_WHITT → u/rindor1990]

Seriously, at some point just take the L and save face for your program. Everyone’s going to be out for fucking blood now.

[u/Insectshelf3 → u/BIG_DICK_WHITT]

the entire sub is gonna be rooting for us next week

[u/easchner → u/Insectshelf3]

True, and I feel dirty af

[u/Insectshelf3 → u/easchner]

well, if that’s the result your morals led you to, consider it a wash.

[u/DtownBronx → u/Insectshelf3]

Probably not just rooting for you but rooting for a record breaking beatdown

[u/philfrysluckypants → u/BIG_DICK_WHITT]

I don't think the coach can even do that? He doesn't have the authority. No way the ones above him ever would, even if I agree with you.

[u/BIG_DICK_WHITT → u/philfrysluckypants]

Oh no of course it’s not the coaches decision, but admin should do the right thing here. They’d gain a lot of respect.

[u/philfrysluckypants → u/BIG_DICK_WHITT]

Not a chance they do though. They don't think about things like that. They aren't people who care about sportsmenship

[u/Crotean → u/rindor1990]

They need to fucking do this for the integrity of the game.

[u/burywmore]

It's actually fixable. Easily.

[u/Dr-McLuvin → u/burywmore]

Seriously declare the true winner

[u/sock0808]

At what point do you negate the win? The coach agrees. The ref agrees.

[u/SuperDoubleDecker]

Maybe this will be the game that starts a real talk about how corrupt the officials are and why we need to make sports gambling go back into the shadows

[u/Killerlemming54 → u/SuperDoubleDecker]

Sadly I don’t think sports betting will go away. It’s way too profitable

[u/CPriceRun86]

Bro the ball was in the fucking air as it hit 0, I can't wrap my head around this. I think we just witnessed blatant game fixing.

[u/dwors025]

So forfeit the contest.

[u/JackC1126 → u/dwors025]

“I touched it coach!”

[u/FlimFlamThaGimGar → u/JackC1126]

I did that once during a soccer match and my coach said that he was proud of me for being honest and then made me run wind sprints the next practice

[u/EarthTraveler413 → u/dwors025]

"Hey team I know we have a chance to win here... but we don't deserve so we'll just forfeit" - Kyle Whittingham, about to lose the locker room

[u/TheToxicBreezeYF]

I guess we are lucky it happened to WMU because if this happened to a bigger university with a law school, we likely would have seen the first lawsuits to overturn a game filed before midnight.

[u/cmgriffith_]

Western Michigan needs to file an injunction immediately and use Whittingham quote as material evidence

[u/lackofcontrition]

Either the refs are crooked or they’re completely incompetent. Either way, they need to go. Everyone in the country knows Western Michigan got robbed, including Michigan. This BS pisses me off to no end and I don’t even have any skin in the game. F the refs!

[u/PossessionConnect963 → u/lackofcontrition]

Someone higher up should’ve intervened before it got to the point of them forcing that down to be played. A LOT of time had already passed.

[u/matRmet]

Forefit the win. Do the right thing

[u/FrostTroll69]

The most integrity a Michigan coach has had in some time

[u/yetiarnie → u/FrostTroll69]

But the bar is in hell so...

[u/Initial_Suggestion68]

He must feel very embarrassed to see the entire team and fanbase rushing the field and celebrating like they just won a natty after that stinker

[u/captaincanada84]

Okay so there you go. Everyone knows it. The coaches know it. The conference knows it. Time to overturn the result.

[u/zzzzzzzz999999]

“So, anyway, have a nice bus ride back to Kalamazoo”

[u/John-Balaya]

This dude is not gonna make it at Michigan. He’s way too west coast nice.

[u/mncabinman]

Western Michigan just needs to find a friendly judge who will legally overturn it. As far as I can tell that is how college football works now.

[u/Isphet71]

TROUBLE WITH THE CLOCK > TROUBLE WITH THE SNAP

[u/disgruntledbonobo69]

Am I rooting Oklahoma? No….no….unless? No…..

[u/SportGamerDev0623]

No one on Michigan’s side feels good about that win. Everyone knows the truth…

[u/Mobile-Analyst8580]

Whitingham seems to be a class act. That said, if the Michigan head coach admits there was no time left, the result should be overturned. The game was over. 

[u/TaxLawKingGA]

Yeah these clock issues always seem to help BIG and SEC teams

[u/MathematicianBig1322]

College football is so fucking washed man. They have to add time so the money machine can save face.

[u/RheagarTargaryen]

I straight up might respect Whittingham if he gets the result overturned against his own team.

[u/0KED0KE → u/RheagarTargaryen]

Is it possible? I’m honestly curious. If the head coach verbally admits they lost the game; the clock shows the game was over; is there a process by which the game can be overturned?

[u/RheagarTargaryen → u/0KED0KE]

I doubt it. Somebody would get him to shut up before anything would ever happen. But I haven’t seen anything this egregious since the CMU upset over Oklahoma State.

[u/destroyed233]

RIGGED

[u/Twelvey]

This the type of game that makes me really not give a shit about football.

[u/M1014TheShooter]

Oklahoma please beat the fucking shit out of this team please

[u/DrGerbal]

As an Auburn fan. Big ten will say they were wrong but they can’t do anything about it around Wednesdays

[u/Fhaksfha794]

Even their own coach knows this was bullshit lmao this has to result in something. WMU should be given the win

[u/dizzymidget44]

I mean. Duh. We all saw it. It said 0:00

we really didn’t deserve that win

1998 Rose Bowl! We want our 2 seconds back! Fuckers...

[u/EfficiencyDue7770]

well at least he’s honest

Even Michigan knows their win is a lie. Western Michigan WON.

[u/P22Tyler]

This is so much worse than if they’d just lost tbh.

[u/winowmak3r]

I'm so conflicted right now lol

Whittingham strikes me as a very high integrity guy. For that reason, he won't put up with Michigan for long.

I seriously think there's a non zero chance the game results get reversed. Not a great chance but it's possible.

[u/Mr-Cantaloupe → u/Wide_right_yes]

Agreed. This is the one time I’ve ever watched a controversial ending and actually imagined a scenario where the result gets over turned.

NBC and the broadcast did a great job showing the play and continuing to show the play afterwards. Terry mentioning that the clock we were seeing was synced to the stadium clock.

I unfortunately think the most likely explanation will be that there is a secret clock only New York sees. It’s bullshit reasoning but I really think that’s going to be what happens.

"a non zero chance"

I choose to believe this was a deliberate turn of phrase.
