Looks more like Urban got a wedgie.
September 25th, 2022 at 6:20 PM ^
Good to see Charles in the house. Fuck that douche Urban. Can't say it enough.
September 25th, 2022 at 7:13 PM ^
Urbz working on a bit of a gut there, eh? I hope the fans who could see him on the sideline gave him some well deserved shit.
September 25th, 2022 at 7:36 PM ^
We did, trust me we did. I did "How are the grandkids" and "Where is Cayman", enjoyed it!!!
September 25th, 2022 at 7:51 PM ^
after looking at this pic it’s clear. Were he ever in earshot of me, I would say, “I’d ask how you feel about all that Jaguars stuff. But I can see you’ve eaten all those feelings already.”
Then find a hundred other ways to to say emasculating things around the fact that he’s clearly put on belly fat.
September 25th, 2022 at 8:43 PM ^
I guarantee he heard us. Honestly I never noticed him looking around or acknowledging anybody.
Charles and Reggie were great. Reggie was taking selfies with just about anybody who asked.
September 26th, 2022 at 2:31 AM ^
Hey, at least with his hands firmly in his pockets he is forced to keep them to himself.
September 26th, 2022 at 10:49 AM ^
that's the perfect target for a player running out of bounds on a play...... spare a cheerleader, run over a rotten piece of shit.
September 25th, 2022 at 5:43 PM ^
Urban is still upset that they didn't overturn DJ Turner's first half interception. I think Turner's int deserved to stand. The ball hit the ground, but DJ controlled it all the way. Sometimes best to leave the call on the field if there's not clear cut evidence to overturn.
September 25th, 2022 at 6:13 PM ^
It was the most “in the spirit of an interception” play ever. If you looked at it under a legit microscope my guess is the ground helped it but not reviewing it was the right move. Frankly I wish they would let plays like that stand more often all around instead of reviewing every play where there is a chance of reversal. If Maryland had made that play I would have been like “yeah that was nice.”
September 25th, 2022 at 6:28 PM ^
Don't look now but Jville Jags about to have a winning record after today. Shows you what a competent coach can do for ya.
September 25th, 2022 at 6:51 PM ^
It should have been reviewed, but it also should have stood as called. Replay showed him with firm control of the ball both going to the ground and immediately after hitting the ground. His left hand/forearm was underneath the ball and we didn't have an angle clearly showing if/how the ball moved off the left hand/arm when he hit the ground. The fact the ball touches the ground is meaningless, what matters is whether he lost control of it when the ball hits the ground.
If it's a de novo review, then fine, I'm probably overturning it. But it's not, and you can only overturn if the replay clearly and indisputably shows the call was wrong. A single, fuzzy angle of his left hand's fingers slightly moving off the ball while his palm and forearm are still underneath it is not sufficient to reverse under that standard of review -- especially when you have to replay it in slow-mo to even notice it.
September 25th, 2022 at 7:47 PM ^
Both this play and the Stokes fumble were definitely reviewed in the booth. The head official held the snap after both plays until the ruling from the booth said to proceed. I think both plays were properly allowed to stand as called.
September 25th, 2022 at 8:01 PM ^
They do review it de novo though. That isn’t how they are supposed to, but in practice that is what they do. That is why it is better if they just don’t call down for the review on plays like that. And they would have called it incomplete even though there was not even close to indisputable visual evidence either way.
September 25th, 2022 at 8:22 PM ^
Maybe you would have! But, if Maryland had done that instead of us, the rest of the Michiganverse would have erupted into a great hellstorm of fiery proportions never before seen in the universe. At least one that hasn't been seen since JT was short anyway (which he absofuckinglutely was).
September 25th, 2022 at 8:55 PM ^
Only if we had lost the game - and if it had made a difference, which it didn't really, since we missed a FG on the ensuing possession.
Even for Jake Moody, "the ball don't lie."
September 25th, 2022 at 6:19 PM ^
Never said by an official in the review booth when UofM plays in East Lansing.
September 25th, 2022 at 6:27 PM ^
It was an awesome attempt and so close, but when there's a moment when the ball is on the ground and none of your fingers are on it, it's not a catch, nor is it in the spirit of a catch.
September 25th, 2022 at 8:03 PM ^
I don’t think we watched the same play, because that didn’t happen on the play that I watched.
September 25th, 2022 at 8:22 PM ^
I guess this was a different Turner interception that generated some controversy. Ball on ground, no fingers on it. Which one were you referring to?
September 25th, 2022 at 8:34 PM ^
He's clearly controlling it with his forearms. ;-)
September 25th, 2022 at 9:32 PM ^
It looks like his right hand is on the ball and it’s too blurry to tell what his left hand is doing.
Is that indisputable evidence to overturn the call on the field?
September 25th, 2022 at 10:41 PM ^
His right wrist is on the ball. The left hand is fully visible with empty palm and fingers. Maybe it’s hard for you to visualize from this one screen grab, but it’s even more clear if you watch the frame or two before and after.
Yeah I think it’s indisputable and the refs blew the call. At the very least, their choice to not review it - this wasn’t a random spot or something, it was a major play, a turnover - was clearly a mistake.
To be clear, Im glad they made the mistake!
September 26th, 2022 at 11:29 AM ^
The short and accurate answer is, no, it is not enough to overturn it. Not nearly enough.
September 25th, 2022 at 11:15 PM ^
Still a judgment call as left wrist is under ball while right hand is gripping ball. I think he's controlling the ball, but at any rate, there is no clear cut evidence to overturn the call.
September 26th, 2022 at 7:26 AM ^
"Dave, this conversation can serve no useful purpose anymore."
September 26th, 2022 at 8:58 AM ^
The one where his entire arm is underneath the ball that wobbled about .03 percent.
It was a pick, all day long.
September 25th, 2022 at 6:27 PM ^
It was an awesome attempt and so close, but when there's a moment when the ball is on the ground and none of your fingers are on it, it's not a catch, nor is it in the spirit of a catch.
September 25th, 2022 at 8:38 PM ^
Don’t need fingers to catch a ball. Can catch it with your knees.
September 25th, 2022 at 10:48 PM ^
True, but he caught the ball in his hands and it was the impact with the ground that moved it out of his hands, so I don’t think it’s a relevant point in this situation.
September 26th, 2022 at 12:45 PM ^
But did the ball ever contact the ground even though it slipped from his hands and appeared to move to between his left forearm and right wrist? That's really tough to see on replay. The call on the field was INT and I think would've stood as called had they reviewed it. Plus, Michigan is the home team and should get the benefit of the doubt on something that is so close to 50/50.
September 25th, 2022 at 9:23 PM ^
Even if they did review it, it looked like a play with not enough evidence to overturn it
September 26th, 2022 at 9:57 AM ^
"Sometimes"? Lol, that's literally what the rule is supposed to be ALL the time. You ONLY overturn the call on the field if there's undeniable, undisputable video evidence. That means, no hemming or hawing, no "I dunno...it kinda", no "well from this angle it sorta"...none of that.
How on earth replay officials get this wrong so many times is mind boggling. We ought to see (across college football in general) far less overturning the call on the field than we actually do...because there just isn't that much "indisputable" video evidence on most plays.
September 26th, 2022 at 1:41 PM ^
Yeah that’s BS. Anyone outside of Michigan who looked at that saw it as no INT. Don’t be that guy.
September 25th, 2022 at 5:43 PM ^
Urban wasn’t paying attention to the game. The photo clearly shows he’s scoping the student section for co-eds.
September 25th, 2022 at 5:51 PM ^
Urban's excited. He's playing pocket pool.
September 25th, 2022 at 6:05 PM ^
Urban can suck a bag of dicks!
September 25th, 2022 at 6:28 PM ^
Canonically a bag of dicks consists of 5 dicks.

UMS5D?
September 25th, 2022 at 6:16 PM ^
urban M still has a huge Michigan complex despite his success against our program at osu. It’s amazing how insecure Ohio state people are about Michigan - even when they owned us for two decades. It’s great to be a Michigan Wolverine - and it is miserable to be the worst NFL coach of all time.
September 25th, 2022 at 6:31 PM ^
Michigan was one of his three dream schools (along with ND) so there was always going to be a bit of "what if" conflict going on, compounded by making Michigan The Enemy during his time at OSU, and doesn't seem to me like someone who has an easy time of letting things go.
September 26th, 2022 at 9:59 AM ^
That's an interesting thought experiment...what if Urban had come here instead of Ohio State and we became the program that won a national championship and almost never lost a conference game for his whole duration and then subsequently would have Ryan Day as our current head coach...
What would the fanbase think if that alternate reality had happened?
September 25th, 2022 at 6:21 PM ^
F Urbz. Classic douche.
Proof that merely winning doesn’t make a winner.
September 25th, 2022 at 6:21 PM ^
Great photo. Charles jubilation, Ubz despair, hemorrhoids or both.
September 25th, 2022 at 6:31 PM ^
Urban looks how diarrhea smells
September 25th, 2022 at 6:41 PM ^
Could use a treadmill or diet fatty
September 25th, 2022 at 6:32 PM ^
Great shot.
September 25th, 2022 at 6:47 PM ^
This is why urban shouldn't be allowed to do broadcast. He can't hide his bias. I understand everyone has a viewpoint or a preference, but real pros can hide it from the general public.
