The wildest part is that the evidence showing that the Big Ten got it right hasn't made people any less angry.

But at this point we've got:
1) the official B1G replay footage used to make the decision
2) former clock operators/technicians stating how common it is for the broadcast clock to be desynced from the stadium clock by up to a full second at times
3) screenshots both from the UM-WMU game and from other NBC games this weekend proving the broadcast clock and stadium clock are not synced
4) in-stadium cell phone footage that appears to show the ball landing clearly before the clock hit 0 (it's a bit blurry but it's clear enough)

But the mob wants its blood. We don't like those answers because we thought it'd be funnier if WMU won. So we're really angry. Don't let your facts get in the way of my outrage.

- A secret clock, unknown to the masses, is just throwing oil on the fire. * - By Mark II September 8, 2026 at 07:09:54 PM
  - It's not really a secret clock though. It's the literal stadium clock. NBC is what was off, not the actual clock* - By Frigz September 8, 2026 at 07:11:42 PM
    - It’s actually not even NBCs “clock”, it’s their VIDEO FEED. When their own clock in their score bug graphic hit :00, it was truly the end of the game. What’s off is that the *video* they show at that moment is what happened ~1 second in the past.* - By LKLIII September 8, 2026 at 07:32:26 PM
      - Correct, good clarification. The sync between NBC's video feed and the stadium clock is what was off* - By Frigz September 8, 2026 at 07:43:50 PM
- There is one part people keep getting wrong. NBC did their own synchronization with the scoreboard clock that Terry McAulay claimed was accurate. The problem is, it wasn't.* - By LewisBullox September 8, 2026 at 06:55:30 PM
  - That is the part that made it all blow up. If NBC had properly synced it at that moment, they would have said it was correct and UM survived by the skin of their teeth. Instead, NBC is just keeping their head down, hoping to not get noticed* - By mjhollen September 8, 2026 at 07:07:20 PM
    - Exactly I blame NBC more than anyone. They could at least just say they messed up. But the damage was done* - By LewisBullox September 8, 2026 at 07:11:09 PM
- Facts are fungible to the social media and MAGA pilled* - By Daytripper September 8, 2026 at 06:55:25 PM
- The angry people are very simple people. They wanted an upset- they are fun, and they had one, but it was taken away from them. Now they will latch on to anything, even in the face of the truth staring them right in the face* - By ameriKa September 8, 2026 at 06:52:00 PM

Now they will latch on to anything, even in the face of the truth staring them right in the face. We basically have the Mandela effect* - By ameriKa September 8, 2026 at 06:52:53 PM
