  • Why not just do what we do for basketball? - By Triskal September 17, 2026 at 10:29:05 AM
  • "The TV told me the game was over." It's the only argument they need.* - By LS&Play September 17, 2026 at 09:39:59 AM
  • The Michigan outrage is so tiring, front-center for the last three years, and always on low simmer for perpetuity. - By BigLake September 17, 2026 at 09:33:38 AM
    • We are a couple of weeks away from a Wednesday night rematch* - By Cincywolve September 17, 2026 at 09:35:46 AM
  • Right - the TV feed is the actual reality - By syrfan September 17, 2026 at 09:31:47 AM
    • Okay, Baudrillard.* - By jukebox September 17, 2026 at 11:54:15 AM
    • Eh. I think this is a "natural consequence" of lots of people thinking it would have been more fun if WMU won* - By Charlie September 17, 2026 at 09:35:38 AM
  • If this were a purely logical debate … - By ny1995 September 17, 2026 at 09:18:56 AM
    • It is apparent that the TV networks and football administrators (NFL and college) know there is an issue here but don't want to admit it - By syrfan September 17, 2026 at 09:35:58 AM
      • Shouldn't it be really, really easy to sync the score bug with the scoreboard clock? How do they do it now? It's just some guy there, pushing a button on his own to start/stop the clock?* - By mjhollen September 17, 2026 at 09:44:12 AM
        • Also, as I've posted ad nauseam, the issue in this case was not the score bug, but rather the sync with the actual stadium clock* - By syrfan September 17, 2026 at 09:47:21 AM
          • As I've posted ad nauseam, that's a distinction without a difference. NBC's production is to blame for both of the incorrect clocks. (nm) - By suede September 17, 2026 at 09:54:02 AM
            • Except I'm right and you're wrong* - By syrfan September 17, 2026 at 09:58:08 AM
              • So you're asserting the on-field clock was incorrect? (nm) - By suede September 17, 2026 at 10:02:05 AM
        • I don't pretend to understand the technology, but the software involved apparently makes it difficult to attain an exact sync* - By syrfan September 17, 2026 at 09:45:15 AM
  • Insane. “Everyone, ignore your lying eyes that shows :01 on the stadium clock. The NBC broadcast clock says 0:00, so the game is over.”* - By LKLIII September 17, 2026 at 08:49:41 AM
    • The age of Trump. The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. * - By hurryup September 17, 2026 at 08:54:11 AM
      • When Trump cheats--good! When anything goes Michigan 's way, it's because they cheat and that's very, very bad!* - By Cap September 17, 2026 at 09:12:54 AM
  • Change that to a game in Columbus and the ball's on the one. Dead officials.* - By ftb September 17, 2026 at 08:48:25 AM
    • this is the point I tried to make last night. The Big Ten and SEC have to say, ‘thanks but no thanks’ to this newly made up protocol or it will blow up in their faces. * - By plug September 17, 2026 at 08:53:22 AM
      • If Michigan doesn't want to make any statement, they should be lobbying the B10* - By Rich September 17, 2026 at 08:58:49 AM
        • absurd to let this go without comment. Warde has always been a combination of lazy and asskiss. Now he’s a lame duck too. So pathetic, his legacy will be garbage. * - By plug September 17, 2026 at 10:31:02 AM
          • Doesn't have to be Warde. It can be Grasso or the head of compliance* - By Rich September 17, 2026 at 11:26:00 AM
