College Football 2024

Embarrassing performance for Michigan lmao

That is accurate. Sad second half for the second game in a row, and mistakes really turned the game around. That INT should have been a TD, given how open Loveland was, but it started the comeback instead. Then the defensive calling by Martindale was pretty pathetic from there on. Made the Gophers look like Texas. But that easily exposed the rest of the season to the horrible weakness of the D.
 
Even if the Gophers beat all the odds to someday be relevant again*, it won’t matter. Any game against the big schools will end that way regardless.

*they won’t

Yeah I knew you wouldn’t admit to having help lmao. You’re the defending champs at home and you got your *** bailed out by refs

And you didn't? The holds that were ignored on your TD? The 15 yard penalty that should have been called on that hands to the face/facemask that your linemen did? Lets be a little serious here.

Watch the game again, and you will see the calls were very missed in the gopher direction in the second half. Michigan played bad, but that was hardly homer calling going on.

BTW, the ref was standing right on the line for that call, the video we saw was aliased to make it look even.

I would be very worried for the MAC if Toledo leaves. Northern Illinois can leave the MAC again. I don't think it is a given that the Horizon/MVC/OVC will take them. The MVC likely won't because their basketball is atrocious, and the OVC and Horizon might not since they are one bid leagues, so why allow another bottom feeder into your league to tank your Pairw....NET.

Toledo leaving would hurt since it means even the core of the league isn't stable, but really, where would the other schools have to go to? Football aside, UMass and Buffalo could find homes in other conferences for their other sports, but where are the other Ohio and Michigan (plus Ball St) schools going to go? Their alternatives are all the same, so they might as well stick together.

I watched the game with 3 Michigan fans who aren’t whining nearly as much as you. “But but they missed a holding call in the secimd half”there were missed calls the other way too lmao.

your team should have curb stomped the gophers no matter what, sorry you could not

things must be tough when it gets harder to spy!

Other than UMass, the schools are so close together that it has to be one of the cheapest conferences in terms of travel in D1. The longest drive looks to be Ball State and Western to Buffalo, and it's less than a 7 hour drive.

Sorry you lost, then. I'm just coming back to your whining, if you haven't noticed. You first whined about the kick call, which wasn't that clear anyway. So what goes around comes around.

I think it would simply hasten the fall down a division. It feels like everyone that isn't in the B10/SEC are heading down eventually. The ACC and B12 will likely serve the role that the MAC/Sunbelt etc currently serve. And then the MAC/MWC/Pac12/CUSA/Sunbelt can all be their own division of FCS+.

Dude, relax. Do you mind if I jump on the tigers bandwagon though?

you gotta on at this from my perspective. You are the rich person and we are the homeless locked outside the gated hood. Why I remain a gopher fan sometimes is …tiring

I can agree with that, especially with the talk about splitting D1 into 3 football subdivisions. A few of the schools in the MAC should probably be FCS currently. If that happens I could see Grand Valley finally make the jump to D1.

I will defend Akron and Kent State in that they put their effort into basketball, or in Akron's case basketball and soccer. Their athletic department isn't devoid of decent/good teams, they're just bad at the only money making sport. So I don't think that is a reason to boot them since they do bring value in other sports.

The Toledo blade had an article asking questions to the MAC ADs about where they see things in the future and some of them had some interesting answers. https://www.toledoblade.com/sports/...ball-jobs-weeknight-games/stories/20240802130

Those UMass comments are... something. You'd think the ADs would have major input in something like that but it sounds like the presidents met and just did it one day.

I agree with the one that says in a 10-20 years we may not have conferences in the way we think of them now. I can definitely see a point where football and basketball are in the current conferences, but smaller sports like baseball, field hockey, tennis, all end up in more regional conferences.

And I agree with the AD who says it's a travesty putting the rivalry games on MACtion days. They should be able to make the schedules so that the major rivalry games can be played on Saturdays and other conference games can go on weekdays.
 
Watching UCF and Colorado , how is it if D leads with helmet to helmet its targeting but if the UCF QB clearing leads with his helmet he gets a high 5 ?

Don’t tell me this is the first time you’ve noticed the discrepancy…

Most officials never call it on a ball carrier.
