Never watching that again. Fuck OSU
I watched about 5 minutes in the third when we were up ten. It was nice to see the D not get torched and the offense function for a change.
then we threw an INT and I turned in Rick and Morty
Fuck that game. Why can’t they play our pasting of ND in the rain?
I just watched that a few days ago as I had saved the BT football in 60 version of it from last season. It was glorious. I also just watched the same for the MSU game (hey that Shea Patterson kid was pretty good in that game).
They wanted to show a Michigan vs. Ohio State game where Michigan won but ESPN doesn't have any film that goes back far.

do neg this comment, but I laughed.
then cried.
Hell to the no. Unless you want to check out the all star ref crew from the Ohio HS athletics association hall of fame, there’s no reason to watch that garbage.
I'd rather drink bleach.
Thanks for warning us so I won't inadvertently catch a few seconds of it while flipping thru the channels.
Why?
What did I ever do to you, Carcajou?!
We can win five national titles in a row and I still wouldn't watch that game.
Prove it
FINE! I WILL!!!
OH HELL NO!
Too soon

Was considering this earlier: Would M have plastered them if this game was at the big house?
Would the officials have made it out alive if they pulled that in the big house?
Would the officials have made it out alive if they pulled that in the big house?
For sure. Just saw Lattimore with the egregious mug of Darboh on that 3rd down in the 1st quarter again.
Showed how much of a momentum swing it was. Harbaugh, irate running and jawing at the refs.
He could tell right then, on a play SO f'n blatant, it was gonna be a long day.
That that play isn't even the Top 3 worst calls or no calls in that game tells so much.
- Infamous "JT was short"
- Called Delano Hill 3rd down, drive extending Pass Interference when the ball was way over their heads and uncatchable.
- Uncalled Pass Interference Cape draped on Grant Perry's back on the 3rd down in the red zone, that took all momentum forcing that field goal. Pass traveled far enough to where every eye had the time to turn and see it unfold. Nothing else to be looking at in that moment.
First down...

Makes you wonder, when was the last time a UM/OSU game of any real note was played in Ann Arbor? Like of real national significance? ‘97?
2006, 2016, 2018, all in Columbus. Seems like whenever Michigan finally has a chance to break through on the national stage, they have to prove it on the road.
2003. Michigan and OSU for the outright B10 Championship. An OSU win would have put them in the BCS Championship Game. Michigan’s win sent them to the Rose Bowl.
It's a consensus... fuck that game! There are two games in the Harbaugh era that I refuse to re-watch, OSU 2016, and Trouble With The Fucking Snap! It's not the losing that does it. It's how the losses happened - a fucking robbery, and a fucking fluke!
I won’t watch the FSU or USC bowl games either. Both total bullshit collapses.
Man, I've watched that FSU game just to see that Chris Evans run to take the lead! That was a nice comeback by Wilton and the boys. One broken tackle on a kickoff broke our hearts. That S. Carolina game was nauseating, though.
Don't forget our All American cornerback getting absolutely posterized on the biggest play of the game. If that doesn't sum up Michigan football the last 20 years or so, I don't know what does.
The FSU Orange Bowl was actually fun to see live. Crowd got super into it. God their chanting is annoying though.
I enjoyed the back and forth, amazing comeback... until I didn’t. It was heartbreaking at the time and I don’t want to relive that one.
Don't forget the fluke was a robbery too. Seth detailed the impact of poor officiating with expected points and they got 3 TDs worth of benefit.

Wow, I don't feel better.
Just watched Darboh get pulled down on third down and had to change the channel. I’ve seen a lot of poorly officiated games in my lifetime, but that will always be one of the worst.
it broke Harbaugh and me both.
“Poorly officiated” would imply an attempt to impartiality call a balanced game upholding the rules, and failing to do so.
There was nothing “poor” about their effort, in fact, they officiated in a corrupt and biased fashion quite perfectly. They managed to pull OSU into overtime with numerous missed PI calls, a BS holding call on a huge run, the Harbaugh unsportsmanlike, etc.
Combined with UM’s turnovers and “the spot”, it played out perfectly for the ref crew and OSU, as apologists and deniers could point to those as reasons UM lost. The spot was the least controversial aspect of the entire game, being a legitimate coin flip call, but allows all the prior egregious, absurd calls against UM to be ignored in favor of this dramatic and “controversial” moment. Add in the, “UM shouldn’t have turned it over” crowd, and you have the perfect storm of rationalization of a complete screw job.
No, this was anything but a poorly officiated game. It was a geniusly officiated game by the refs to deliver their own and the probably the league’s desired outcome.
Yep. It rankles to call a perfect crime a "poor" job, because it implies things about it that aren't true. The refs and the conference got away with everything they wanted in that game.
. . . and then OSU went on to get obliterated in the playoff, because they'd left the protection of the B1G and flat-out didn't belong there. Small comfort in terms of karma, but it was vindication.
If that game had been played in Ann Arbor and officiated by a crew in the Michigan HS officiating HOF with long time records of open support for Michigan who then went on to make the same calls but in favor of UM, the screeching from Gene Smith, Urban Meyer, and OSU would have been so loud and so sustained that an NCAA investigation into obviously biased officials would have been launched.
Had to watch this game in a bar in Tokyo filled with half Wolverine, half Buckeye fans and the feed was interrupted a few times.
The Ohio State gang ended up being banned from that bar for brawling...with each other.
Harbaugh has gotten Michigan good enough to get dong punched repeatedly.
Don't do it.
I still prefer the 2006 game as the best (in my lifetime).
I felt like this game was perfect for the year I was having in 2016 though (it was a good year for me e.g. HS graduation).
I will say this, the Speight to Darboh TD on 4th down in the first OT was one of the most clutch plays in Michigan history.
No doubt, from memory, ol' Wilton fired it in there!
I’ll credit him big time on that. Was half a second away from being sacked by Hubbard and then a half step from being deflected or picked off by Lattimore.
Put the ball only where his guy could get it.
We could have been up 24-0 if Speight had not thrown a pick 6, fumbled at the OSU 2, threw another INT inside our own 20 late in the third. Too bad Ruddock did not have one more year left.
I’d rather gouge my eyes out and feed them to my dogs.....
Fuck. That.
Thanks for the heads up, I'll be sure to stay away.
Still can’t believe how one sided the officiating was. JT was short, they had a face mask not called the play before along with blocks in the back and holding. The out and out non calls of PI when they tackled Darboh. The no calls of PI against osu when they interfered with Grant Perry in the endzone in ot. The pi they called against our defense to give them a first down on the overthrow that was a well defended play. The late hit seconds after the play on Webber should have been a 15yd penalty, targeting and an ejection from the game. The false start on 3rd and 8 they didn’t call that should have been 3rd and 13 set and instead called Harbaugh for a PF giving them first and goal. I can keep going. Yes we made mistakes but officials more than made up for osu’s mistakes that game changing their mistakes into free plays or bonus plays setting them up for scores rather than them paying for their mistakes.
Yeah, I can’t watch again.
