Fowler: This has been the Pacific Life game summary.
[Hit THE JUMP for three different gif categories: Notre Dame schadenfreude, TOWELS, and the rest.]
The Full Album
Notre Dame Schadenfreude Top Ten
10. The Self-Sack
In fairness, a solid alternative to being chased by Cam McGrone.
9. Beaten
It does not appear the O-line had much fun.
8. M00N Callback
It's bad when only one team is playing M00N-ball.
7. Brian Kelly Existential Crisis
When you contemplate quitting on the spot and then remember the financial ramifications.
6. A New Way to Fumble
Thank you, Notre Dame quarterbacks, for your continued innovation in this field.
5. What Are You Doing?
I have no idea what Jonathan Jones was thinking but I'm glad he thought it.
4. Dumbfounded Brian Kelly
When the manager won't listen to your complaint.
3. "Cut Me, Mick!"
Ian Book had a rough night.
2. Wet and Mad
lol.
FRAMES OF THE GAME: THIS IS A DIFFERENT GIF THAN THE LAST ONE
loooooool.
Top Five Towel Tosses
5. The Heavy Stuff is Coming Down
If you look closely you can spot the one that lands on the camera.
4. Wirecam Shot
This is an absolute laser that I'm convinced hit the wire bit of the wirecam. Brian Kelly should've pulled this kid out of the stands and put them in at quarterback.
3. This Is Your Fault
This throw, sadly, doesn't connect with John O'Neill, but it does graze one of the other officials, and we get the bonus of a Michigan staffer trying to snatch it out of the air.
2. Friendly Doink
I think Nico Collins asked for this? He certainly didn't seem to mind.
TOWEL-TOSS(ES) OF THE GAME: F--- YOU AND F--- THIS
Unbelievable precision all around.
Everything Else Top Ten
10. Plucked
The degree of difficulty on DPJ's touchdown was not low.
9. TruTD
Sorry, the bad puns are contractually obligated now.
8. Clone More Glasgows
Use science for good.
7. They Threw The Fade
Oh hey that works really well.
6. Tracked and Slaughtered
Cam McGrone is something straight out of a nature documentary.
5. Slippery Sainristil
Woop.
4. Smushed
Hassan Haskins would like you to take a seat right there, thanks.
3. Don Brown Contemplates Murder
If there were fewer witnesses, I'm inclined to believe he would've gone through with it.
2. Up and Over
More fun than effective but it was a lot of fun.
FRAMES OF THE GAME: SPAMMED
Have a seat over there, buddy.
No voting this week, they're all too good to choose. If you'd like a winner declared, it's the Kmet/camera towel double shot.
October 29th, 2019 at 11:12 AM ^
Good call on the no vote this week. That would have ruined my day trying to figure out which one to vote for.
October 29th, 2019 at 4:02 PM ^
My favorites didn't even make the post: JimMFHarbaugh FIRED UP. Welcome back, coach!!!
October 29th, 2019 at 6:14 PM ^
I'm voting anyway. Spanellis!
October 29th, 2019 at 7:44 PM ^
The only true champion
October 29th, 2019 at 7:46 PM ^
Spanellis' play there sums up the whole game: complete domination.
October 30th, 2019 at 2:55 PM ^
Spanellis by a mile, IMO. That's one of the best GIFs in the history of this series.
October 29th, 2019 at 11:14 AM ^
What do you...no...vote...what?
October 29th, 2019 at 11:18 AM ^
Who did Spanellis pancake with extreme prejudice? Couldn’t see his number for some reason. Probably just as well for him.
October 29th, 2019 at 12:19 PM ^
Heard it was one of Howard Griffith's younger sons.
October 29th, 2019 at 12:35 PM ^
He's the guy who said, "I don't like Spam!"
October 29th, 2019 at 5:02 PM ^
well done!
October 29th, 2019 at 12:41 PM ^
Rudy something-or-other, I think.
October 29th, 2019 at 11:19 AM ^
Spammed All Day!

Lives here.
No it doesn't
EDIT: Now it does
October 29th, 2019 at 11:23 AM ^
In Towel #5 you can clearly see a front row person in a yellow poncho take direct aim at an official. He doesn't hit him but kind of iffy on that one.
October 29th, 2019 at 12:13 PM ^
He yells something forcefully too. I think the ref crew started to feel like they might not get out of there alive. May need to channel the same venom on November 30th.
October 29th, 2019 at 1:05 PM ^
Not a good call M-B, a great one. Didn't think I could enjoy this any better, and there you go.
October 29th, 2019 at 11:25 AM ^
How can it not be Spanelis taking the guy out to dinner?
October 29th, 2019 at 12:11 PM ^
I was thinking choosing a best one was going to be impossible, and then I got to that. As an old tackle who wore 72 in high school, that is likely to be my favorite shot of the entire season.
October 29th, 2019 at 2:15 PM ^
"It was time for him to go home."
October 29th, 2019 at 11:26 AM ^
Well, I'm voting anyway. Brian Kelly Existential Crisis.
October 29th, 2019 at 12:10 PM ^
So hard to choose, but I lean toward Don Brown Contemplates Murder
October 29th, 2019 at 11:27 AM ^
They're all good gifs, Ace.
October 29th, 2019 at 11:29 AM ^
Best "One Frame at a time" yet. I can't decide which list is the best. The only thing better would be a purple Kelly stewing in the rain. Well done Ace! Go Blue.
October 29th, 2019 at 11:34 AM ^
who killed #5?
October 29th, 2019 at 11:36 AM ^
Man Sainristil with shades of Breaston on that TD.
October 29th, 2019 at 11:36 AM ^
I fully believe Don Brown has killed a man just to watch him die. John O'neil should take note.
October 29th, 2019 at 11:40 AM ^
I like the Brian Kelly gif because in the background there is literally someone "holding that L".
October 29th, 2019 at 11:43 AM ^
There was a lot of discussion on the pod about whether or not the students were weighing the towels down with something. I promise they were not. Those things were so soaked with water that they were like 10 pounds each, plenty of heft for a throw.
October 29th, 2019 at 11:51 AM ^
The towels are also not exactly of high quality - the material is thin, and it it weren't for them being waterlogged and balled up or knotted, they wouldn't have flown very far. I carried 5 wet towels home and it didn't add up to ten pounds.
October 29th, 2019 at 12:31 PM ^
Looks like a couple had been tied in knots making one end of the towel nice and weighty....
October 29th, 2019 at 4:33 PM ^
Yeah, water. They were weighing them down in water. Maybe rain water weighs more. I promise they didn’t weigh ten lbs. you underestimate the force of a 10lb flying object.
i don’t think I’ve seen a more appropriate use of towels than what I witnessed on Saturday. Bravo student section.
it was kind of dumb that they made them maize colored (yeah I get it was for the maize out). A few times on the north end I saw a towel thinking it was a penalty flag though.
October 29th, 2019 at 11:45 AM ^
The DPJ catch is even more amazing to review now than it was to see live.
October 29th, 2019 at 11:46 AM ^
My fave was seeing sad Brian Kelly so much. It is almost as glorious as seeing purple faced Kelly. But my vote would be for either the Sainrisitl catch and run or Haskins juke.
Awesome to give a thumping like this in a rivalry night game- seems like we can do that to ND at home pretty easily- maybe Big House Magic. And I haven't enjoyed watching a Michigan game like this in a long time. Rutgers is non-stress but that don't count because it is like watching a replay of an old win. Fun to watch, but no drama. Hope Maryland game turns out like that.
Go Blue!
October 29th, 2019 at 11:48 AM ^
The McGrone chase down was made possible by Dax doing an excellent job sealing the edge. I'm sure they drill that all the time, but still a really smart play by him.
October 29th, 2019 at 12:04 PM ^
They are both quickly becoming favorites on defense and had great games. The McGrone chase down was definitely Devin Bush like. Look where it he is when the ball is thrown and caught and he still drags the guy down before he can get a few steps upfield.
Throw:
Catch:
First step upfield by the receiver.
and still results in CRUNCH.
October 29th, 2019 at 12:12 PM ^
His range is incredible. We're pretty damn lucky to have back to back crunching linebackers with that kind of speed.
October 29th, 2019 at 12:04 PM ^
The Spanellis pancake that missed the griddle is going on in the background of the Slippery Sainristil OFAAT. Absolutely splendid!
October 29th, 2019 at 12:06 PM ^
so someone told me that the punt was blocked by ND but made it across the line of scrimmage and UM was able to recover. therefor the ND player attempted to jump on it to prevent UM players from recovering.
is that correct?
October 29th, 2019 at 12:19 PM ^
That would be incorrect Bob.
October 29th, 2019 at 12:20 PM ^
I think it's the opposite. A blocked punt that does not reach the LOS can be recovered and advanced by either team. A blocked punt that goes past the LOS is treated like a regular punt.
October 29th, 2019 at 12:33 PM ^
No.
A punt has to be touched past the line of scrimmage by the receiving team for it to be a live ball. The punt was partially blocked behind the line of scrimmage, so there was no reason for ND to touch it at all.
October 29th, 2019 at 12:14 PM ^
Would I have been complaining about the lack of a flag on the towel throwing if this was an away game for us? Yes. Was is it hilarious anyway? Also yes
October 29th, 2019 at 12:18 PM ^
Why exactly isn't "Clone More Glasgows!" a shirt already?
Make it happen.
October 29th, 2019 at 12:20 PM ^
What an outstanding play on 4th and 4. I would bet he has seen that one on film and knew exactly that it was coming when they guy went in motion.
October 29th, 2019 at 12:30 PM ^
It’s been awhile since my last Health class, but if both parents are still alive, you wouldn’t need the cloning technology. Just saying...
October 29th, 2019 at 12:54 PM ^
Well, there is this thing that women go through at a certain age...
October 29th, 2019 at 12:30 PM ^
Anyone who doesn't enjoy the towel throwing needs to learn to enjoy life. That was fucking great. I wish Brian Kelly would have been hit by one.
October 29th, 2019 at 12:44 PM ^
Ace and Brian: on a scale on 9 to 10, how hyped will you be for the rematch in 2033: Under The Biodome?
