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?

Like let's say they had to put their house on the line on this or rigged elections, whatever. Would they actually say nah bro, just kidding or bet the farm? I genuinely don't know or which is worse.

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
- 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 - By mattb September 7, 2026 at 11:09:14 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

    - 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

  - 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
