LET'S TALK FOOTBALL!

[u/weflyhigh69]

Apparently an Ivy League education isn't a prerequisite to coach an Ivy League team...

[u/therealtoddmcshay]

Sorry Penn, was rooting for yall, but that QB was something else

But holy shit what a final play

[u/joelupi]

I'm pretty sure they had like 20 guys on the field at one point

[u/mason2393]

Another FCS banger this year

[u/okrasnake]

What the hell was that

[u/CreamyCheeseBalls]

Flipped to this from the Lakers game just as the replay started. What the hell was that

[u/joelupi → u/CreamyCheeseBalls]

I'm not sure.

[u/CybeastID]

Penn? ....Why the FUCK did you not SPIKE THE BALL?

[u/BoringJuiceBox]

What the fuck did I just watch

[u/penisthightrap_]

What an insane end.

I’ve never witnessed that before.

Team couldn’t decide to spike it or kick so offense and special teams on the field at the same time, just for the kicker to run on the field and rush a kick that he almost nailed but was just short.

Wow. And I thought it was over with the interception!

[u/Rd545454]

Why wouldn't you spike the ball??  

[u/JustAnIndiansFan]

I fucking sprinted to this thread to see if anyone else saw how braindead that clock management (from an Ivy no less) was and I was not disappointed

[u/BoringJuiceBox → u/JustAnIndiansFan]

How much are they even paying coaches at schools this size? I could fuckin do better

[u/Muffinnnnnnn → u/BoringJuiceBox]

Ivy League doesn't publicly disclose salaries unfortunately

[u/joelupi → u/BoringJuiceBox]

Apparently Ivy League coaches get paid $200,000 - $300,000 a year.

[u/BoringJuiceBox → u/joelupi]

JFC… that’s 10x more than I make haha

[u/Yung2211 → u/JustAnIndiansFan]

Sitting here with the most confused look on my face

[u/Mythrandir24]

So sure, they should've spiked it, but god damn if he made that

[u/joelupi]

I'm still not sure what I just witnessed...

[u/kitachi3]

Incredible ending

[u/kwp302]

Honestly, props to the kicker. I thought he nailed it.

[u/BoringJuiceBox → u/kwp302]

I really think he would have made it if he had time to stand back and not be rushed.. fuckin bonkers

[u/kwp302 → u/BoringJuiceBox]

Yeah I mean he had to quickly guesstimate where to line up. Looks like he was a little too close and had to shorten his steps

[u/BoringJuiceBox → u/kwp302]

I said the same thing, usually in CFB and NFL they take 5 steps back and 2 to the left(or right if they’re a lefty)He looked barely 3 steps back.

[u/CybeastID → u/kwp302]

I did too until it landed.

[u/cn0285]

That wasn’t very Ivy of you Penn

[u/laxintx]

Yeesh. Gotta spike it there, a 52-yarder is not just a run up and do it kinda thing.

[u/thatboiOsaka]

That is not on the kicker. That’s so fucked

[u/JustAnIndiansFan]

Wtf why would you not spike it?

[u/somethingisme]

maybe they didn't know you could spike it.

[u/mason2393]

Put a Penn in it

[u/flyntcoaltrane]

First of all you need to spike that. Second of all that kicker locked tf in on such short notice,  just a tad short. Poor guy

[u/therealtoddmcshay]

Lol I said that we needed to see another Jayden Daniels High IQ move

AND WE DID!!!!!!!!!!!!! YESSS COLUMBIA!!!!!

[u/Reibyo → u/therealtoddmcshay]

I was literally reading a post about that game in the NFL sub lol

[u/therealtoddmcshay → u/Reibyo]

seriosuly don't get how people blame the coach.

If Jayden Daniels just throws it away like I am sure he has practiced a million times, they still get to kick a field goal

Not sure how hard it is to understand if the guy is wide open, throw it at him, if not, throw it above his head

[u/kwp302]

Ivy League schools with the low IQ ending. Sad!

[u/2Pollaski2Furious]

They... they knew they coulda spiked the ball, right?

Even ran another play.

[u/penisthightrap_ → u/2Pollaski2Furious]

Definitely a miscommunication from coaching.

[u/Mythrandir24]

Holy fuck that was almost an instant classic.

[u/Reibyo]

What the fuck was that? Lmao

[u/loyalsons4evertrue]

Coaching malpractice to not spike that

[u/Bieberkinz]

WTF WAS THAT LOL

[u/loyalsons4evertrue]

That reminded me of Baylor/TCU from a couple years ago

[u/Muffinnnnnnn]

WHAT THE HELL ARE THEY DOING

[u/Skyrizzzi]

Omfggggg why not spike it hahaha

[u/joelupi]

......WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?!

[u/Tufoguy]

And it's short. Wow

[u/loyalsons4evertrue]

LMAOOOOO PENN WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!

[u/Tufoguy]

FIRE DRILL FIELD GOAL

[u/Skyrizzzi]

What the hell?? Spike it

[u/therealtoddmcshay]

Really need to see another Jayden Daniels high IQ move here please

Rooting for Columbia

[u/myusernamewastaken5]

Under a minute left, no timeouts and you throw a wr screen?

Fire Mike Bobo into the su- wait it's not us?

[u/Rd545454 → u/myusernamewastaken5]

I couldn't believe that.   Dumb Dumb Dumb even if it worked

[u/Skyrizzzi → u/myusernamewastaken5]

Ha

[u/therealtoddmcshay]

how good are ivy league kickers and how good are the QBs at bombing it to the endzone?

[u/joelupi]

Jesus how do you let him get that open?!

[u/Muffinnnnnnn → u/joelupi]

Prevent defense

[u/Skyrizzzi]

Does Penn have a bigger football following than Temple in Philly?

[u/loyalsons4evertrue → u/Skyrizzzi]

I don’t think so

[u/therealtoddmcshay]

Damn, idk, maybe Columbia should have done more to try to get the first down by letting the QB choose because it is a 3 point game.

[u/Muffinnnnnnn → u/therealtoddmcshay]

1 point game. It's ok though, we're not Ivy League flairs

[u/Muffinnnnnnn]

Oh no no no you cannot do that in the middle of the field. Terrible playcall unless you're SURE it gets a first down

[u/2Pollaski2Furious]

Is Penn cool enough to join the "give up a shitload of turnovers but still win" club?

The world waits.

[u/Skyrizzzi]

Run the clock, don’t risk the clock stopping. big brain Ivy League play

[u/Muffinnnnnnn]

Game's not over yet!

[u/Tufoguy]

Well Penn will get another chance

[u/myusernamewastaken5]

Happy gameday to those who celebrate

[u/therealtoddmcshay → u/myusernamewastaken5]

And pigskin be with you

[u/therealtoddmcshay → u/therealtoddmcshay]

Omaha!

[u/Muffinnnnnnn → u/[deleted]]

I mean they are on the road lol

[u/Skyrizzzi]

Alrighty let’s see if teams who are +4 turnovers can win a game today

[u/therealtoddmcshay]

lol my guy, it is a change of possession. The clock will stop no matter what. You don't have to stay in

[u/Muffinnnnnnn]

ANOTHER INTERCEPTION SPECIAL!!! WHAT IS WRONG WITH TONIGHT????

[u/Bieberkinz]

Brutal pick

[u/joelupi]

Ohhhh picked. Game over.

[u/Muffinnnnnnn → u/joelupi]

Not yet!

[u/Tufoguy]

Wow. Backbreaker

[u/loyalsons4evertrue]

PICK BY COLUMBIA!

[u/therealtoddmcshay]

I would have thought that Ivy League players would be a bit smarter, but just some terrible football IQ out there....

That WR not stopping earlier to draw a PI, that guy fair catching it at the 4, those Columbia players running into each other when it was obvious the UPenn guy was going to go outside(well the one guy that ran into his teammate), and columbia's players right there keeping the guy up right to let him pick up another 2-3 yards...

edit: THat guy picked it off and thought that he had to stay in bounds... It is a change of possession. The clock stops no matter if you stay inside or go out

[u/Muffinnnnnnn]

Might as well get your one running play in right before the 2 minute timeout lol

[u/Shoddy-Discount9814]

I know Ivy-league nerds probably don’t like football, but damn that bowl is empty

[u/loyalsons4evertrue → u/Shoddy-Discount9814]

It’s also a ginormous stadium by Ivy League standards

[u/Muffinnnnnnn → u/Shoddy-Discount9814]

90 minute rain delay and then POURING rain during the game. I'm sure it wouldn't be packed regardless, but that certainly does not help.

[u/Tufoguy]

Well the fair catch at the 4 doesn't matter anymore. 😅 Just get an explosive play and get out that situation

[u/Skyrizzzi]

Seems particularly dark in the stadium

[u/loyalsons4evertrue]

Big play for Penn!

[u/Tufoguy]

Fair catch at the 4 yard line. Rough

[u/Muffinnnnnnn]

I selfishly need OT but I don't know if it's possible anymore

[u/Skyrizzzi → u/Muffinnnnnnn]

Highly improbable

[u/Muffinnnnnnn → u/Skyrizzzi]

Pick six or scoop n score or something and then Penn scores with a 2 point conversion, trust

[u/Skyrizzzi]

Skyline on Columbias helmets is sick

[u/somethingisme]

some say 74 is still blocking

[u/Skyrizzzi]

I love how yttv lets us enjoy the zen during commercials meanwhile espn unlimited is Backrooms Office at the Beach

[u/joelupi]

Awful lot of honkies in here....

[u/Skyrizzzi]

Yall don’t understand how much I love obscure special team plays. Last night we got a fake field goal into a quick kick

[u/aronjrsmil22]

?? Commercials made me miss those two downs tf

[u/Muffinnnnnnn → u/aronjrsmil22]

I was so confused too

[u/mason2393]

FCS has been on an absolute heater this year

[u/Muffinnnnnnn]

I just turned the volume way up since this game is so low and just about exploded my ears when the commercial started

[u/Bieberkinz]

Need me some Friday Night Chaos

[u/Skyrizzzi]

Oh and we’re getting a split swinging gate??? HELL YEAH

[u/Muffinnnnnnn]

IT WAS 24-7 PENN

[u/joelupi]

Miss it! I want OT!

[u/joelupi]

Touchdown! Tie game!

[u/aronjrsmil22]

Let’s gooo

[u/Skyrizzzi]

We in here

[u/joelupi]

Alright the other games tonight have been bananas. Let's see how this one is.

[u/AriDreams]

We love a big man pic

[u/dualstrike19]

That’s an insane catch

[u/zoom518]

The Penn field is wet af

As Columbia got a nice TD

[u/Muffinnnnnnn → u/zoom518]

You're right but I swear their field looks like this when it's bone dry too.

[u/Muffinnnnnnn]

Game is on! In the rain!

[u/Muffinnnnnnn]

Game is delayed to 8:30pm, will still be on ESPNU

[u/Michiganman1225 → u/Muffinnnnnnn]

Weather?

[u/Muffinnnnnnn → u/Michiganman1225]

Expected weather yes. They delayed it 5 hours ahead of time because of the forecast, ESPN just didn't update

[u/waaaaaasuuuuup → u/Muffinnnnnnn]

That’s a big brain Ivy League move right there.

[u/Particular-Way-3805]
