Afternoon Games (open thread)

Tom Allen outsmarted himself.

Michigan goal!  Slaker from Hughes. 2-2.

The line was IU +6.5. If you were a betting kind of person, that must have hurt to watch IU give up that touchdown on purpose.

They decided to run the ball on 3rd and 3 at the state 4 yard line when leading 6-3. Debord did his Debord thing and they got 9-3 instead of 13-3.

at the local jails.

Indiana is like us, if they had an even halfway decent offense and OC, they would make some noise.

They finally get defense figured out and then thye go and hire Mike DeBord as OC.

They are still #CHAOSTEAM, but without the fun.

 

You've got grit Mork. You have heaps of grit.

The difference is MSU opens it up near the end when we go into a shell all the time

Hahahaha when ESPN showed the in-game break for the last MSU score the announcer said, well NOW the MSU offense is stepping up late. As multiple IU players stand still and watch him run by.

...say they don't want to make a call to decide a game.

That's exactly what that ref did when he didn't throw the flag for HOLDING (and he had actually reached for it)...on 3rd and forever.

That shit PISSES me off!!!!

"It's all about grit." Is Grit the guy who paid the refs?

Spartan Stadium is still a shithole.

Go Blue.

These fuckers will beat PSU and OSU...

I don't know how they do it...I really don't.

 

will beat OU. Looked like for a while when KSU was up 21-7 and moving the ball that there could be an upset.

still have a job on Monday?

MSU gonna win the big ten

Even if they get help from the refs they aren't going to beat PSU or OSU most likely

The punch on 2nd and goal that went uncalled (and led to IU’s starting RB ton it be in the game on 3rd down) and the PI that got that go ahead drive going, plus the non-PI on the ensuing drive where he pushed the receiver oob well before the ball arrived.

IU coach complained last week, his heart may not make it through the next 48 hours.

Slaker again, 3-2 Michigan.  4 on 4 goal.

Like you see a blatant hold directly in front of you that prevents a sack on 3rd down and you are about to throw your flag and then  decide not to. I just don't understand what is going on in that refs mind in that moment.

about whether a ball is catchable on PI calls? It happened to Indiana today and UM last week on plays that weren't even close to being catchable.

IU had a 79% chance to win after they sacked Lewerke bringing up 3rd and long, up 9-3. The ref looking at the hold actually calls it on 3rd down. Or doesn't call a phantom PI. Or calls the DPI on IU the next drive. It's ridiculous. 

Hockey wins, really good third period.  We sound like we're way better, but a little inconsistent.   See if we can keep it up and keep getting better.

If we lose tonight...the UM haters will remind us how we are tied with Rutgers in league play.

I keep getting ptsd of MSU winning big 10. How are they doing this? Why do we keep underestimating them? WTF. I'm actually pretty disturbed by them.

And that run D looked pretty good in this game, I am choosing to look at the positive

truly bone-headed plays I've seen a QB make to lose the game. Someone check him for a concussion because I don't think he'd make that play if he had a clear mind.
