The Victors

Cont: Like the largely held belief is the Big Ten conspired to give Michigan another shot at a hail mary that literally no human being on earth thought would make a difference in the outcome prior to the play. I just cant fathom how stupid people are now

• I cannot believe what a big story clockgate became. We live in a bizarre world now.* - By mattb September 7, 2026 at 10:25:56 PM
  • I think it’s a big story because NBC fucked up and people watching live saw something they can’t unsee - By brick September 8, 2026 at 08:51:44 AM

    • People just believe what they want to believe, and then find everything they can online to validate their confirmation bias* - By wolvalum September 7, 2026 at 11:37:34 PM
      • GOP’s been trying to kill science, education and rational thinking for 46 years.* - By withnail September 7, 2026 at 11:42:28 PM
    • Idiocracy* - By withnail September 7, 2026 at 11:33:15 PM
    • this point is somehow lost, the “cheating” didn’t result directly in a win. The Big Ten cheated so Michigan could get a 50 yard Hail Mary. Yeah, that makes sense. * - By plug September 7, 2026 at 11:27:40 PM
      • Anyone paying attention since 2023 would know the B1G has no favors in store for Michigan. Pretty sure Rich nailed it earlier (as usual)* - By wolvalum September 7, 2026 at 11:41:59 PM
    • It's definitely emblematic of something much deeper in our society. What I can't tell is when people start talking about conspiracy nonsense, do they genuinely believe it? - By LewisBullox September 7, 2026 at 11:19:23 PM
      • Only a small amount do. This is why I think prediction markets are a good thing* - By harbaughdyssey September 8, 2026 at 07:37:00 AM
      • That's where I'm at, and can a society function where every distrusts everything? Everything is a conspiracy, everything is rigged? And does that make it easier for the people who actually are rigging the game, like Trump and Kushner.* - By jjwalker September 8, 2026 at 12:39:01 AM
        • It absolutely helps them. Those assholes need to be wiped out ASAP.* - By withnail September 8, 2026 at 12:51:48 AM
  • It's been a bigger story than the blown PI call with the Saints and Rams a few years back. Which is crazy.* - By gbmcq September 7, 2026 at 10:38:12 PM
  • If the dumbfucks at NBC had just done it properly while the refs were reviewing there wouldn't be a controversy. - By LewisBullox September 7, 2026 at 10:31:41 PM
  • Nothing drives clicks and ratings like Michigan and "controversy" or "scandal." In the FSU-SMU pregame show tonight, ESPN kept showing a graphic with Michigan's controversial win as the lead CFB story from the weekend. It's garbage.* - By wolvalum September 7, 2026 at 10:31:05 PM
    • I’ve been surprised by the anger all things Michigan engenders, dolts like that no talent assclowns SAS and that sleeveless dumbass jump on outrage like flies on turd. * - By plug September 7, 2026 at 11:01:38 PM
    • Standard answer: There is a lot of jealousy towards Michigan in the B10 and among the media* - By Rich September 7, 2026 at 10:34:27 PM
  • it's an opportunity for people to express online how *hard* they believe what they believe, despite all evidence. - By Mark September 7, 2026 at 10:29:46 PM
  • I am ignoring it all. It will go away. The call was correct, it seems. Unlike Neb 1997 who won a piece of the title despite winning a game on an illegal TD (kicked ball). Nobody said a word. * - By Rich September 7, 2026 at 10:28:12 PM
    • Colorado got a 5th down once! Could you imagine the outrage.* - By mattb September 7, 2026 at 10:56:08 PM
      • Has anyone ever gotten a 6th down? - CRAZED HITCHHIKER * - By withnail September 7, 2026 at 11:48:12 PM
    • If we can scratch our way to a fringe playoff position, it'll come roaring back as a reason we should be left out* - By wolvalum September 7, 2026 at 10:33:46 PM
