Hilarious Jordan Fuller Quote
Hilarious quote by Buckeye safety Jordan Fuller about the ref's overturn of the scoop-and-score:
"I'm not paid to be a ref, but it looked like he caught it to me, but I'm not paid to do that, I'm not even paid to play yet" (source: https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/28386496/range-emotions-replay-calls)
First, he says "but I'm not paid to do that".
At that moment, it's almost as if he realizes that he's not supposed to make it sound like he's paid to do anything at all.
So then he says "I'm not even paid to play yet".
Hmm....

The Truth Is Out There.

Trust No One.
December 29th, 2019 at 5:34 AM ^
I saw that and thought the exact same thing.
December 29th, 2019 at 6:44 AM ^
Haha. Busted. I'm sure the NCAA will investigate it immediately.
December 29th, 2019 at 8:33 AM ^
Remember during Stretchgate when Andrew Maxwell Tweeted that MSU put in MORE hours than Michigan...then deleted it?
December 29th, 2019 at 9:11 AM ^
That's why that was just a hit job by the Free Press.
They did all that investigating into Michigan and never once asked another team if they did similar things. They knew there was a good chance they would have found a bigger story, but that would have diminished the impact on RR and Michigan.
December 29th, 2019 at 9:39 AM ^
Or, maybe they did find a bigger story, but chose to ignore it?
December 29th, 2019 at 12:45 PM ^
The NCAA will...er wait...investigation is complete and no wrong doing found.
In a completely unrelated story...Oberlin College in Ohio has been found guilty of recruiting improprieties and will be punished severely.

Loose lips sink ships...

unfortunately ohio is the bismark and we don't have any torpedo planes....

More than that, the last two games against them, it felt like we were the HMS Hood.
December 29th, 2019 at 1:29 PM ^
I felt more like we were Huck and Jim's raft.
December 29th, 2019 at 7:43 AM ^
They'll investigate that as soon as they investigate the FBI testimony of the dude saying he paid michigan players.
December 29th, 2019 at 7:59 AM ^
I think you’re reading too much into it. But I do think ‘benefits’ are involved with players like Fuller.
FWIW, I think the WR took a few steps with good control of the ball before it was knocked out. Should’ve been an OSU TD, but who cares? Fuck OSU.
December 29th, 2019 at 8:00 AM ^
JT was short.
December 29th, 2019 at 8:06 AM ^
That could have easily been called forward progress and a completion with no fumble. He was hit immediately after the ball hit his hands and driven backwards. We've all seen that call too. You are correct with "who care" though ! hahahaha
Go Blue!
December 29th, 2019 at 9:11 AM ^
The guy was going backwards and didn’t make a football move, loved how the rules analyst basically shouted down Herbstreit’s bitching
December 30th, 2019 at 10:06 AM ^
but yet every single official that has been interviewed said it was a catch and fumble. a "football move" is not moving up field, it is demonstrating control and movement with control. so a good DB who is controlling the player has to let him loose so he can "make a football move' to strip the ball? Look i loved seeing their dreams come crashing down but acting like this was a correct overturn is just stupid. if that was in THE GAME and chris olave was the receiver and our DB did that and they overturned the on field call we would be screaming to the hills that the fix is in. do better.
December 29th, 2019 at 11:53 AM ^
I think you’re reading too much into it.
You think? The OP is a bad take and the OP should feel bad.
December 29th, 2019 at 8:00 AM ^
Credit to Olave though for manning up and taking the blame on the game-ending pick:
"It was my fault," Olave said. "I was supposed to run a post, but I thought he was scrambling, so I tried to work the second part of the route, but it ended up he wasn't scrambling. He trusted me to run that post, and I didn't, so it's a mistake on me."
December 29th, 2019 at 8:24 AM ^
respect for that. and while we're at it, respect to dobbins for playing so well on a bum ankle. i bet he's in a boot for a week at least.
December 29th, 2019 at 8:30 AM ^
W a Lions logo.
December 29th, 2019 at 2:34 PM ^
Yeah, I’m not sure if he will be available in time for the National ... oh, never mind.
December 29th, 2019 at 8:58 AM ^
Many players mess up in the heat of the moment. Like Kamara’s Guarantee vs osu last year or the making a statement BS prior to Michigan’s game in Madison.
December 29th, 2019 at 10:37 AM ^
Who the hell is Kamara?
December 29th, 2019 at 10:57 AM ^
That’s what name Urban used to refer to Karan Higdon in that “How Do You Respect a Rivalry” speech that was making the rounds before the game this year.
December 29th, 2019 at 9:09 AM ^
When I saw the title of the post, I knew where it was going. Yeah, that one got my attention too.
December 29th, 2019 at 9:15 AM ^
OSU is Dirty...DUH tell us something we DONT know
December 29th, 2019 at 9:23 AM ^
Kind of like Mercury Hayes saying he gets "paid to make that catch" when he caught the game winner against Virginia. (And then he clarified his statement.) It was just a figure speech by a young man aware that things get taken out of context.
Michigan 18 Virginia 17 to start Lloyd Carr's career as HC.
December 29th, 2019 at 10:08 AM ^
Michigan players are paid too.
December 29th, 2019 at 10:28 AM ^
I honestly do not see how that could be called a completion and fumble. It wasn't even that close. I've seen countless plays where the player possesses the ball, takes one or two steps without being touched by the defender and moves up field in the process, gets ball knocked out and they call it INCOMPLETE every single time. If that is incomplete then the play last night was incomplete 100% for sure without a doubt.
December 29th, 2019 at 10:46 AM ^
Doesn’t get paid to play but gets paid for being on the team.
December 29th, 2019 at 12:14 PM ^
Not “hilarious” at all.
December 29th, 2019 at 12:25 PM ^
Hmmmm
December 29th, 2019 at 12:40 PM ^
Bahaha. Thought the same thing. He realized he needed to push the back button ...beep, beep, beep “i mean I’m not paid to play here, I’m paid to play online classes...wait no i mean, I’m paid to .. , I’m just going to stop talking and eat this L”
I’m shocked this much ...0%
December 29th, 2019 at 1:00 PM ^
Oh no, did the Suckeyes get screwed by a bad call? Were their hopes dashed on a 50/50 decision? Oh wait, it was the correct call because in real time (ie what really matters) the receiver took a few steps because he was being pushed by the defender. He never made an unassisted football move. They're complaining about 4 or 5 calls, when the fact is that only one of them was up for debate.
Either way, cry into your Buck-I-Guy autographed photos and get over it. "Shit happens, bum juice" as the kids say these days!
December 29th, 2019 at 1:49 PM ^
LOL fuckers
December 29th, 2019 at 3:04 PM ^
People who moralize about players getting paid are such losers. Even worse are pieces of shit like the OP who thinks this is worth putting his unofficial detective on for.
