Uggghh, I can't stomach OT. I'm already anxious about the Sugar Bowl coming up...

Ahhhhhhh college football is the best

1hitsong@lemmy.ml · 6 pts · 2y

Amen

WhiteOakBayou@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 2y

Great game

1hitsong@lemmy.ml · 6 pts · 2y

This Michigan defense is nasty!

ToasterOverlord@fanaticus.social · 6 pts · 2y

Hail, HAIL to Michigan!!!

1hitsong@lemmy.ml · 5 pts · 2y

Never watch replays of injuries. 🤮

WhiteOakBayou@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 2y

Overturned interception, muffed punt 7 - 7 first quarter. College football is the best. Michigan working to convince people they belong here

That's a flop. Maybe should have been a flag, but the punter really sold that

ToasterOverlord@fanaticus.social · 2 pts · 2y

And out of curiosity, I checked out the Pat McAfee broadcast for a bit and he was nonstop still talking about it way later (siding with the punter, obviously)

What the hell was that XP attempt?

1hitsong@lemmy.ml · 2 pts · 2y (1 reply)

A failure.

g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

It was glorious, the closest we've gotten to an offensive 1 pt safety that I've seen this year.

g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 2y

Come on blue, I really need you to drown this particular ferret

1hitsong@lemmy.ml · 4 pts · 2y

The score does not represent how much Michigan is owning this game.

ToasterOverlord@fanaticus.social · 4 pts · 2y

Very efficient scoring drive!! Love that

Swan Lake certainly is a choice for the halftime performance. Probably doesn't make Michigan seem any less elitist than they already are perceived...

ToasterOverlord@fanaticus.social · 2 pts · 2y

And Alabama plays Mr Brightside?! They know that's, like, basically Michigan's second fight song at this point, right?

ToasterOverlord@fanaticus.social · 4 pts · 2y

Alabama having tRoUbLe WiTh tHe sNaP it seems

g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y

We've already seen the td, show me the hit damn it

ToasterOverlord@fanaticus.social · 3 pts · 2y

INTERCEPTION

Probably left too much time on the clock...

Hell of a lot of grass in JJ's visor from eating dirt on an otherwise nifty trick play

1hitsong@lemmy.ml · 2 pts · 2y

It's New Year's. It's his collards for dollars.

g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y

well... shit...

edit: Oh thank goodness

ToasterOverlord@fanaticus.social · 3 pts · 2y

My day is already ruined. End my misery

Edit: nevermind

TheCelticPirate@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y

I know this might sound entitled, but come on. After the Lions game, I deserve this win for Michigan.

g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y

That was an incredible play

timbuck2themoon@sh.itjust.works · 3 pts · 2y (2 replies)

As a notre dame fan, do I root against natural rival Michigan or against the team that doesn't deserve to be here anyway?

Tough call.

ToasterOverlord@fanaticus.social · 2 pts · 2y (1 reply)

Curious if you'd root for or against Tommy Rees. How did y'all feel about his departure?

timbuck2themoon@sh.itjust.works · 3 pts · 2y

Didn't much care one way or the other. He was OK, could be great. Was more surprised Alabama took both him and Buchner. Ifellt Alabama was far too good to be looking at either.

1hitsong@lemmy.ml · 3 pts · 2y (1 reply)

Here we go. Bama gonna bama.

WhiteOakBayou@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 2y

Saban is the best to ever do it. Half time adjustments win games. My wife's theory is that he has the most impassioned half time speeches. I'm saying this as someone who cheers against Alabama for every regular season game.

WhiteOakBayou@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y

Heartbreaker

WhiteOakBayou@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y

Alabama starts marching then the center shits the bed

1hitsong@lemmy.ml · 3 pts · 2y

Yes, Modelo is the sign of a fighter.

Because you have to fight to keep it down.

ToasterOverlord@fanaticus.social · 3 pts · 2y

Ah shit. Very unusual for Sainristil to let us down in the secondary. Bummer

Is that really the best ad UM can put forth? I've seen community college ads that were higher quality.

Hope@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

I quite enjoyed the trouble with the snap - it led to the OT that let my Over 46 and Michigan by 6.5 bets payout.

WhiteOakBayou@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

Gotta protect that ball

WhiteOakBayou@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

Definitely a catch

ToasterOverlord@fanaticus.social · 2 pts · 2y

Very cool performance of the Star Spangled Banner by the Michigan band! Gosh I am so fired up for this game. Go Blue!!

Wow. Rematch of 91 natty incoming???

g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

I don't think that makes it

g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

Everyone liked that

wjrii@kbin.social · 2 pts · 2y

What a strange end to regulation.

ToasterOverlord@fanaticus.social · 2 pts · 2y

I love this Michigan pass rush.

Obviously, I won't love it as much if my Longhorns have to face it, but let's not look ahead

WhiteOakBayou@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

Wow, that foul was a bit flagrant

1hitsong@lemmy.ml · 2 pts · 2y

Checking in. Umm.... Roll Tide? I guess. 🤷‍♂️

ToasterOverlord@fanaticus.social · 2 pts · 2y

Yes, there's the Swiss cheese Bama O-line that I saw in week 2!

g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

million dollar band, more like dollar store band amirite

1hitsong@lemmy.ml · 1 pts · 2y

Bama, what is you doin baby?
