Michigan fans didn't storm the field, does that mean Western Michigan > Oklahoma? Many are saying this.

Well, we were 30 point favorites versus Oklahoma, we necessarily expect a win. Against the demon that is WMU though...

The MAC just means more.

Honestly, Western is the better team.

I mean right now if you didn't have the names on the jerseys and I would probably say WMU is better than Oklahoma

Michigan is going to get like 8-9 wins this season, and their opponents will all get this treatment.

I LOVE IT.

Considering WMU “lost” by 1 where OU lost by 7, ya I’ll go with that

No quotation marks bud.

At this point I'm convinced they just can't count to 9.

u/Ecstatic_Sand5417 Michigan Wolverines Sep 12 '26

They're most likely from Ohio and can't count higher than 1 hand because they have to point with the other

And that's not even accounting for the missing fingers from farm and/or factory accidents.

Ya Michigan is 2-0 but they should be 1-1. This coming from a Michigan fan

How so? There are just so many angles showing that it was indeed NBC's broadcast that got the camera views of the clock and gameplay desynced. The refs got the call right. No it wasn't a glamorous win by any means but it was a legit win week 1

Idk maybe I just have been seeing biased posts but I haven’t seen anything showing that yet

https://www.reddit.com/r/michiganfootball/comments/1wc1sbh/best_one_yet/ Yes it's still hard to make out the ball once it enters the mass of bodies but it's several frames between when it first reaches the leaping body of 18 and time running out. By my count and cross referencing with a few other angles to verify where 18 was in his jump when he first touched the ball, by my count there are no fewer than 4 frames where the clock still shows 0:01 and where he HAD to have touched the ball and probably 6+. Unless you think magically the ball stopped its momentum towards his chest for a full 2+ tenths of a second it's impossible for him to have not touched the ball before time ran out.
