@mattwill 13-4, lose in the NFC CS game. Bonus: after the bye Lemon is second in receptions on the team.

Michigan needing blatant cheating and ref bailouts to win - what a pathetic program

They're officially the Patriots of college football. They've normalized cheating to the point where I just laugh now. The fans storming the field after an illegitimate final play was needed to beat 24pt underdogs at home is also objectively hilarious.

As a Michigan fan, they deserve an L based off principle. That was terrible to watch. However as football fans, we all know the TV clock and the actual game clock aren’t in sync. You count from 0-60. Not 1-61. The replay machine shows the ball touched with time left on the clock. This doesn’t detract from my original statement…they deserve an L based off principle.

In college football, what you see on the TV broadcast is the game clock. There's literally a camera pointing at the stadium clock in real time, which is why you can notice it shaking. They calibrate and synch this on the broadcast before every game. This instance of cheating is even dumber than the Connor Stallions saga because it insults the intelligence of every viewer who saw double zeros on the clock.

If that happened to the Eagles we'd be losing our minds. They got hosed. Secret clock bull covering their ass after doesn't cut it.

VS Washington and @ Tenn (I don't want any excuses, this should be a situation they roar to 2-0). Also Sirianni/Jalen are 5-0 in opening day games. Let's keep it going.

Now imagine Michigan failing on their next attempt and the officials say, "well, that didn’t count so we’ll give you a third chance at it!” And then Michigan scores on that one and "wins” the game.

And that would be exactly like the USA-USSR gold medal basketball game in 1972.

So the clock camera the refs used for review was wrong? Or as you saying the system uses atomic clocks with everything hard line linked with high speed fiber optics?

I'm saying you need to get an update to your talking points if you actually want to defend this nonsense because the big ten already confirmed in their official statement that the clock you see on the broadcast is a live shot of the stadium clock (which is the official game clock) and is synchronized before every game. This is the case with every college football game. You're always seeing the official clock because there's a camera pointed at the stadium clock.

Lot of Little Sisters of the Mercy games to start the college football season. Almost had an Appalachian State redux but for the refs last night. May the failure of the OSU Cowboys to rise from the ashes be a precursor for another team with the same name but further south down I35.

So you’re taking a small part of the statement to justify your position? Despite the rest of the statement saying my statement is right…but i need to update my talking points? I know you’re a relatively smart individual so i don’t need to explain to you how latency works right?

You’re typically on the non conspiracy side for the rest of football as a whole, and this is probably the only game Michigan will win all year. You’ll have plenty of opportunities to hate them later in the season.

They are 13-4 in September, I think. We should wallop WA and TN

Yep should be 14-3 with that easy pass Saquon drop against ATL. they have been fantastic in September.

Your statement is not right. You said what we see on the broadcast is not synchronized with the game clock which is false. The stadium clock, viewable to all attendees present at the game, is the official clock, so maybe you're trying to say that clock is also fake and the real one is visible to nobody in real time and is something only the refs can see on replay. Which I don't think you're saying based on your phrasing of your initial post. So if you want to defend this, your only valid argument is as follows:

• The camera of the stadium clock was calibrated and synched at 6:05pm

• The transmission equipment of the network (NBC) then slowly became out of synch over the next 5 hours

• By the time the play in question occurred, the stadium clock is now running roughly a half second behind the camera feed of the same clock

• Thus, the clock in the stadium still showed 0:01 when the ball is touched while the camera feed showed 0:00

And I can explain in detail why the above is incredibly unlikely given the well established technical aspects of how real time clocks operate in modern electronics. However, I have a feeling it'll fall on deaf ears because I'm pretty sure we've already been through this recently with the Stalions cheating, and even back when deflate gate happened, all the UofM fans refused to admit Brady ordered the equipment staff to let air out of the balls. It's possible I'm unfairly lumping you in with other UofM fans, so if that's the case then I'll indulge you on this.

Got it

I can already see it now, they do great against Washington, everyone is happy then it's a squeeker against Tenn (a place the eagles never won in), lol.

most of this is semantics. However if you’re trying to say that the official statement is 100% false and that there is no way there official replay showed time left. Go on, tell me about modern electronics. Just explain it to me like I don’t have experience planning, setting up, executing and working the control booth at FBS football games, air shows, presidential visits, or understand the impact of jamming devices, large crowds or how communication equipment works.

Is it possible there’s tom foolery at play? Yes. Definitive. No.

Pull up a chair, this is what I do. But first I need to be sure I won't be wasting my time so please address the following before we get into it...

• Did Tom Brady order the NE equipment staff to deflate footballs in violation of NFL rules?

• Did Connor Stalions illegally film opposing teams to steal signals and give UofM an unfair advantage?
