Well, this was just a shitty end to the day.  First, UM dropped a shoot out to UMinn in the hockey game, and now Bama with the winning TD.

A crappy ending to an otherwise good day.

Called an eight man rush on 3rd and 15 against a spread offense... I'm not screaming "conspiracy" but seriously, what the fu*k?

Also - it appears that any team that's threatening Misses Saban is penalized at the absolute worst moments... I'm sure Nicky is probably smiling while crossing his legs with his khaki capris and boat loafers fitting comfortably.

About the game ending plays... I was referring to the series where MSU had Alabama backed up into a 3rd and 15 with over 2 minutes to play in a tied ball game. Calling an 8 man rush isn't just "bad coaching"... It's down right negligence. I refuse to believe that any D1 coach is so dumb as to call an all out blitz in that crucial situation. If anything, they should have dropped eight into coverage and rushed only three. That was completely and obviously stupid

Idiots man. It's from the 35, no need for a fucking prayer type of throw. And then to throw it out of the back of the endzone. Like dumb fucking QBs that take a sack or throw it away on 4th down. Just give someone a chance.

When the opposing coaching staff calls an 8 man blitz on 3rd and 15 at midfield... That was a moment that should demand an explanation but I'd say that most causal football fans didn't even catch it. That was basically like calling, "ok, let's get Bama in field goal range... Ready, break"

when the foul occurs in the endzone, sometimes they'll call it just a 15 yarder (like it was there) but other times you'll hear "the foul occurred in the endonze. The ball will be placed at the 2 yard line". Never seems consistent to me but I imagine I'm missing something
