That personal foul by #10 was one of the stupidest things I’ve seen a player do since earlier this afternoon 

[u/TheMcWhopper → u/Ryanpadcasey]

What happened

[u/zebbielm12 → u/TheMcWhopper]

Shove out of bounds on what would have been 4th down

[u/xSirLagsalotx → u/TheMcWhopper]

Late hit by Michigan to extend Iowa's last drive

[u/AmeliaConcrite → u/xSirLagsalotx]

Tbf Michigan probably expected a review by a shadow angle that would absolve them.

[u/_Panic_At_The_Costco → u/TheMcWhopper]

Hawks throw an incomplete pass on 3rd and long with under a minute left, it's basically game over and then a Michigan player picks up a completely unnecessary 15 yard penalty for a personal foul (shoved an Iowa player after the play was over) and gives the Hawks a free 1st down.

The other really stupid thing being referenced is probably a player in the Tennessee - Texas game celebrating a play by miming masturbation, which drew an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty.

[u/Zal3x → u/_Panic_At_The_Costco]

That’s a weird way to masturbate but you do you King

[u/_Panic_At_The_Costco → u/Zal3x]

Maybe I'm misinterpreting it but that's what it looked like to me

[u/Cute_Conclusion_8854 → u/_Panic_At_The_Costco]

It was just a hosing down

[u/Zal3x → u/_Panic_At_The_Costco]

It was definitely him pissing on his grave. Funny username btw it made me laugh

[u/Recent_Fisherman311 → u/_Panic_At_The_Costco]

The Texas defender ‘mimed’ “pissing” over the QB, he didn’t rub one out

[u/Empty_End_7866 → u/_Panic_At_The_Costco]

We’ve reached the point where players are young and porn addicted enough to celebrate with a goon…

[u/Bikeandcamera → u/Ryanpadcasey]

yep, that is when I knew they were gonna lose the game. that was such a dumb play

[u/WombatHat42 → u/Bikeandcamera]

Add on the lucky tip catch by our TE, the 2nd of the game I might add.

[u/No-Tangerine-9946 → u/Ryanpadcasey]

At least the dumbest thing since that northwestern player grabbed a face mask on 3rd & 15

[u/LastKnownNormal → u/Ryanpadcasey]

I, for one, am SHOCKED that a program known for such integrity doesn't have the discipline to not do stupid shit to cost the game.

[u/DillyDillySzn → u/LastKnownNormal]

Kyle Whittingham has his work cut out for him

Gonna take a long time to fix that locker room

[u/SnukeInRSniz → u/DillyDillySzn]

Considering how many times Utes players were whistled for personal fouls, late hits, and other stupid ass sloppy penalties under Whitt, he's not going to clean anything up. I ALWAYS hated that about his teams here, just constant sloppy bullshit giving up penalties.

[u/Beer-survivalist → u/SnukeInRSniz]

I feel like a crazy person when everyone thinks Whittigham's teams were super-disciplined and penalty free. Did nobody but me and Utah fans watch Utah games?

[u/Free-Eights → u/DillyDillySzn]

To be honest, we were not committing this many stupid penalties under Sherrone Moore. We either won by opponents underestimating us or got boatraced because of coaching malpractice.

[u/pocketsophist → u/DillyDillySzn]

I think he will get the team back to form. That defense is formidable and the offense, by all measures, should be dog walking most teams. I didn’t think we stood a chance.

[u/Righteousrob1 → u/pocketsophist]

Tell me we put up 429 yards on an Iowa defense. 10 yards a pass and we lose? Coaching malpractice. 

[u/weiss321 → u/Righteousrob1]

99 yard td return, failed 4th and one in the red zone and a red zone int. Michigan could’ve easily won this game by double digits but they shot themselves in the foot 17 different ways

[u/Righteousrob1 → u/weiss321]

If you give up a 91 yard drive to Iowa in under two minutes. You deserve it. 

[u/miversen33 → u/Righteousrob1]

Not gonna lie, that just sounds like a regular Iowa win lol.

I mean, I didn't think we were going to win, and watching the entire first half I expected Michigan to just start piling it on in the second half.

[u/Seniorsheepy → u/Righteousrob1]

Empty calories

[u/Righteousrob1 → u/Seniorsheepy]

The 75 penalty yards sure werent empty calories, pure malpractice by that team.

[u/Righteousrob1 → u/DillyDillySzn]

But Moore didn’t have undisciplined teams. His teams were low in penalties. They weren’t coached but they weren’t undisciplined. This is Whitt. 

[u/SnukeInRSniz → u/Righteousrob1]

Get used to it, it was always a problem here, he simply could not reign in the sloppy bullshit penalties

[u/Righteousrob1 → u/SnukeInRSniz]

Cause he has no emotion? It’s like he’s on autopilot in sideline. wtf is that. 

[u/SnukeInRSniz → u/Righteousrob1]

We used to call it "Whitt Face", the perpetual look of "what? How did I get here? Am I human?" on his face when things don't go the way he expected.

[u/Righteousrob1 → u/SnukeInRSniz]

It’s insane. His player just did something that could cost them the game. Same look as if we’d just won the game. He makes Curt look normal. 

[u/JM4R5 → u/SnukeInRSniz]

Not sure why Michigan fans are bamboozled by this. Harbaugh had some sloppy teams and would make the same faces most of his tenure.

[u/meyer_33_09 → u/Righteousrob1]

I distinctly remember getting pissed off at Moore’s teams for stupid shit like taunting penalties and stuff that would extend drives.

[u/Righteousrob1 → u/meyer_33_09]

This year Michigan is 118th at 71 yards a game(going up after this game), 2025 was 18th at 39 yards a game, 2024 was 13th at 39 yards a game. Harbaugh in championship year was 3rd at 27 yards a game. We are currenltly giving the team half a football field extra in yardage more.

[u/WampaStompa33 → u/Righteousrob1]

Yeah, Moore's teams had some of the lowest penalty rates. 

Everyone has been making Sherrone jokes for the last year but the buried lede is that this team under Whittingham is one of the most penalized Michigan teams since at least the Hoke era. 

[u/guttata → u/DillyDillySzn]

Surely the coach that a lower tiered program forced out for aging out of his prime has the stamina to see such a project through

[u/Mistertreefrog → u/LastKnownNormal]

The team that gives up 8 penalties a game so far gave up bad penalties? Shook.

[u/FrostTroll69 → u/LastKnownNormal]

LOL, LMAO EVEN

[u/Doctor_Kataigida → u/LastKnownNormal]

Interestingly enough, Michigan always had very few dead ball penalties like that (and more often drew them, like at OSU in 2022). Since Harbaugh left, team discipline has been much worse.

[u/kungfusexy → u/LastKnownNormal]

only game 4 for whitt

[u/SabresStix → u/LastKnownNormal]

The Michigan Man™️ did an oopsie??

[u/WombatHat42 → u/LastKnownNormal]

Tbf, Whittingham is tmk a coach with integrity.

[u/Bender14 → u/LastKnownNormal]

It's just nice to see cheaters lose.

[u/Moto302 → u/LastKnownNormal]

Ironically during the Stallions era we were actually very disciplined.

[u/-RDDTtothemoon- → u/Ryanpadcasey]

The stupidest thing since the Texas game 

[u/DeathToHeretics → u/-RDDTtothemoon-]

THATS THE JOKE, THANK YOU FOR FOLLOWING ALONG

[u/BradOSU99 → u/DeathToHeretics]

Whoosh!

[u/makinbankbitches → u/-RDDTtothemoon-]

Texas one was pretty funny though. If you're gonna get a penalty at least get your money's worth.

[u/Peter_Panarchy → u/-RDDTtothemoon-]

/r/YourJokeButWorse

[u/Particular_Wear_6960 → u/-RDDTtothemoon-]

Yeah... Our receiver catching the ball with no timouts nor time left was pretty stupid

[u/binzoma → u/-RDDTtothemoon-]

florida had some dumbass ones also but yeah phew

[u/Neither_Call2913 → u/-RDDTtothemoon-]

You didn’t see the Targeting in OleMiss @ Florida then.

[u/Triumph-TBird → u/Ryanpadcasey]

He just pissed the game away.

[u/IronCladNads → u/Ryanpadcasey]

One of the greatest things I've seen a player do

[u/smokeypapabear40206 → u/Ryanpadcasey]

I was gonna say... "someone didn't watch the Texas/Tennessee game", then I read the rest of your comment.

[u/ohGodwhynowww → u/Ryanpadcasey]

NIL cant buy character or discipline

[u/heliosflama1234 → u/Ryanpadcasey]

Standard Michigan playstyle

[u/20wall → u/Ryanpadcasey]

Berry should lose his scholarship

[u/ThatSpartanKid → u/Ryanpadcasey]

He heard about Collin Simmons and told Whit “hold my beer”

[u/skinnyfat24 → u/Ryanpadcasey]

Harbaugh remnant.
