LET'S TALK FOOTBALL!

[u/Ornery_Gift7005]

"Why is it called the flagship cup?"

"Oh" Chuckles

[u/Muffinnnnnnn]

Aw man.....

[u/Ornery_Gift7005]

I just need UMass in a bowl game dog please just two more wins

[u/Muffinnnnnnn → u/Ornery_Gift7005]

(3 more wins)

[u/flyntcoaltrane]

UMass noooo

[u/Gusanito99]

How long can one review take Jesus

[u/escaped_from_OD]

That might be the longest review I've ever seen.

[u/TranslatorOwn6331]

Rank umass!

[u/SaltyHawk95]

I feel like that’s pretty clear forward motion of the arm with some control but it seems like they are looking at the recovery so it won’t matter.

[u/GhettoMeatball → u/SaltyHawk95]

I was just telling my wife that is pretty clearly an incomplete pass

[u/Ornery_Gift7005]

Pity to those who don't finish their OT games before moving to the 3:30 kicks.

[u/tacowithcheeese]

NOO

[u/Alex_Croteau23]

HE FUCKING MISSED OMG

[u/Alex_Croteau23 → u/Alex_Croteau23]

nvm wtf

[u/Ruhrgebietheld]

Both teams wearing their home jerseys looks great in this one.

[u/flyntcoaltrane]

That is definitely one of the camera angles that you could pick for a field goal

[u/steviej1717 → u/flyntcoaltrane]

They probably only have 2 to choose from

[u/kempfel]

Nice coverage, you couldn't even see the ball.

[u/kevboyyyy]

I know not everyone can be an NFL level referee, but that wasn’t even close lol what was he looking at

[u/Mythrandir24]

MAC loving the scoring reviews today.

[u/Tayren35]

uh what was that ref looking at?

[u/zoom518]

Another late out of bounds non-TD

[u/kempfel]

OK so I saw Indiana lose by being barely out of bounds on this play

Then I switched to Maryland-Rutgers and saw Maryland lose the same way

Now I switched to this game and.....

[u/steviej1717 → u/kempfel]

I have done the exact same thing lol.

[u/flyntcoaltrane]

UMass baby what is happening

[u/Alex_Croteau23 → u/flyntcoaltrane]

have you forgotten our identity (even if this TD won't stand)

[u/flyntcoaltrane → u/Alex_Croteau23]

I choose to reject who you were and want to believe in what you could be

[u/Alex_Croteau23 → u/flyntcoaltrane]

I appreciate the positivity

[u/Alex_Croteau23]

:(

[u/Muffinnnnnnn]

Uh oh

[u/showbricks]

Ughhh

[u/Mythrandir24]

UMass no

[u/Muffinnnnnnn]

Let go UMass! Set that win record in FBS!

[u/bro_esq2]

Thank you Jesus for Derek Morris.

[u/showbricks]

Ok great kick morris!!

[u/Alex_Croteau23]

The ultimate redemption for Morris

[u/hammock-cat]

3rd and 2 and you can't take a sack and you drop back to pass instead of running the ball???? good fucking god this is some mark whipple ass football

[u/Alex_Croteau23]

this is some sloppy football my god

[u/Frigidevil]

I really thought we were over our field goal woes. Wtf Morris

[u/bro_esq2 → u/Frigidevil]

tbf those aren't gimmes for college kickers, but yeah leaving 6 points on the table really sucks.

[u/Alex_Croteau23]

thankfully that INT didn't lead to any points

[u/Alex_Croteau23]

They called that on Buffalo earlier so they gotta call that late hit again. Imo, just let em play

[u/Timely_Conflict4796]

This gotta be one of the most unhinged games I’ve seen. This would be a big steal of a win for UMass with a third string qb

[u/Frigidevil → u/Timely_Conflict4796]

If we manage to pull it off the entire offense needs to treat the defense to a steak dinner.

[u/Timely_Conflict4796 → u/Frigidevil]

Send one to buffalos special teams too 😂😂

[u/Frigidevil]

This is a phenomenally stupid game

[u/SweedishMeetballz]

ESPN+ took these guys out of the crowd on their way in

[u/Alex_Croteau23]

MACTION!!!!!!!!!

[u/GhettoMeatball]

This color guy is an idiot. He threw him to the ground after the play was over. Thats an unsportsmentlike every time

[u/ADMotti]

Every time I see this score come up I’m like “what if you wanted to play baseball but god said ‘football-only member’?”

[u/SweedishMeetballz]

Let’s goo

[u/Alex_Croteau23]

The way that the receiver chases him makes me think he knows he touched it

[u/Frigidevil → u/Alex_Croteau23]

They always know. The best indicator isn't oh did the football move, it's did the receiver freak out?

[u/Noanba]

Now this is MACTION

[u/Alex_Croteau23]

Okay both special teams have no clue how to field a punt

[u/Frigidevil → u/Alex_Croteau23]

I miss Harding

[u/GhettoMeatball]

This UMass offense is pretty miserable to watch with basically everybody injured

[u/Frigidevil → u/GhettoMeatball]

Both lines look good though

[u/Alex_Croteau23]

And that is why Harmon does not play WR. Literally should have that every time

[u/Noanba]

A bit wild how many safeties there has been so far today

[u/retailhusk]

I read this as UMass vs Buffalo Bills on YouTube TV and was very concerned

[u/KansasEF5Tornado → u/retailhusk]

Yeah, Bills about to get blown out

[u/tacowithcheeese]

WE are rooting for UMass bowl game

[u/Alex_Croteau23]

That was shockingly a clean 1st drive

[u/Meanteenbirder]

Battle for Amherst

I hate that they don’t call it that and do the “Flagship Cup” instead

[u/Frigidevil → u/Meanteenbirder]

An obvious layup that couldn't possibly be fumbled any harder.

[u/MongoJazzy]

Hopefully we get a good game. Both sides have been ravaged by key injuries. Football is almost always about depth and today looks to be no exception.
