Objectively hilarious outcome

[u/SelesnyaGOAT → u/DanFlashesC0up0n]

The way people were talking about this game beforehand you’d think it was gonna be 70-0 OU

[u/frolie0 → u/SelesnyaGOAT]

I for one am shocked that the avg college football fan operating purely out of emotion would have a terrible take.

[u/Lieutenant_Corndogs → u/frolie0]

This sub is 98% vibes and emotions, and if you push back at all it really rustles their jimmies

[u/Telencephalon → u/Lieutenant_Corndogs]

All you need to know is whatever hot take media sphere attack piece gets posted will have a billion upvoted and comments, and any serious piece of football discussion regarding the sport itself will have next to no engagement. Reality TV for men.

[u/the_tax_man_cometh → u/Telencephalon]

My guy, after the last 4 weeks, you don’t have to tell me. Thus my confidence in my own bet. That and having had zero faith in Mateer for forever

[u/Rbespinosa13 → u/Lieutenant_Corndogs]

People seriously argued, and still believe, that tenths of a second didn’t exist in football

[u/HarbaughToKolesar → u/Lieutenant_Corndogs]

I’m pretty sure my most downvoted comment still is telling a Miami fan that Brad Kaaya was kind of cheeks when projecting to the NFL

[u/Imthemayor → u/Lieutenant_Corndogs]

And 2% Lane Kiffin

[u/onrocketfalls → u/Lieutenant_Corndogs]

I thought Michigan would play better today, but is it really pure emotion to doubt a team who required a hail mary to beat Western Michigan? Like yeah, they won today and that's awesome, but people weren't doubting them "purely out of emotion."

[u/A2ndRedditAccount → u/frolie0]

Me too

[u/the_tax_man_cometh → u/frolie0]

Literally bet yall bc of how much public money was on OU. Insanity

[u/ericaepic → u/the_tax_man_cometh]

I won 500k on that game

in my heart

[u/TachyAndTired → u/the_tax_man_cometh]

I did too. Thank fuck. One of my better calls

"Every single iota of my being is telling me OU easy, but 89% of the ML is on OU and 87% of the spread is on OU and the spread is TIGHTENING to -4.5. The sharps are on Michigan.Why? I dont know but hmmm. Whenever I went with my "logical" choice I lose, so I think {Michigan} is the play. I'm goiong to look fucking stupid in hindsight but man I'm trying to get Michigan 33% on polymarket"

[u/Round_Tax7459 → u/frolie0]

That's me Mr Neurotic.

[u/Cmp_ → u/frolie0]

How dare you? My terrible takes have nothing to do with emotion!

[u/nmombo12 → u/Cmp_]

My terrible takes are probably emotional but I think my flair justifies it.

[u/IFHelper → u/frolie0]

Dude, I am a Michigan fan, and I was predicting something similar, though not quite that bad.

[u/IFHelper → u/[deleted]]

I'm pumped for the outcome, frankly!

[u/SadTumbleweed1567 → u/frolie0]

Neither of these teams look like ranked football teams. Both defenses are good, but the offenses are putrid.

The difference in this game was the turnovers by Oklahoma. Without those, Michigan doesn't score 10 points. The fumble let Michigan pin Oklahoma to its own goaline, defense forces a 3 and out and Michigan starts a drive from midfield that lets them get a field goal. Then the interception was 7 easy points.

Maybe if Michigan's offense stops shooting itself in the foot with penalties it could develop a rhythm and do more on its own, but the biggest issue is Underwood needs to learn how to pass the football.

[u/frolie0 → u/SadTumbleweed1567]

Cool story bro. Both teams will be ranked, another hysterical take.
