ttun Shenanigans and Arguments (2015 official thread)

[Jaxbuck]

Which is absurd to me. I was watching on my phone while eating dinner, and I heard them say MSU had nobody back to catch the punt. I thought about how stupid that was, because they know you're trying to block it here....there's no way they're going to allow that to happen.

Oh.....apparently there is a way. by using 6 people to block 10 (one MSU player didn't rush for some reason).

Jimmy is crazy like a fox

one MSU player didn't rush for some reason

He was covering the gunner that was in the punters line of sight. The other gunner was uncovered and was wide open.

 

[Jaxbuck]

pause it right before the snap

gunner is not only uncovered he is looking for the ball

upon further review, if that was not dropped he throws it to the gunner EASY

Sparty didn't win the game We
Sparty didn't win the game
We didn't lose the game
That was the worst officiated game I have seen, it was almost like the had Sparty alums reffing
If everybody is laughing except you, well, now you know what they are laughing at.

Dear Mr. Screaming Eagle: Thank you for your service to our country. Now, STFU.

It's an interesting conspiracy. The top guy is so open that I could see him looking back either way, but there are a couple of other guys who release as well.

Yeah it's hard to tell

IF that was the call then Jimmy just saw why Lesticles is the only man on the planet who gets away with that fucking nonsense in a spot like that

Wol-ver-aines.

Quite literally, no one blocked anyone. 5 guys on the LOS against 11 Spartans? As someone pointed out earlier, even if the punter catches it cleanly, the kick is probably going to be blocked.

 

[TBIAT]

Don't just blame the 5 guys on the LOS. The 3 up backs didn't do much either. One gets blown back a couple yard before turning into a matador. The second guy blocks the MSU guy where he needs to be to catch the ball. And the third guy can be seen dancing around the 45 yard line without touching anyone.

View attachment 11854 Ann Arbor choked on that one.

You can see that "middle finger" guy slinking off after the game behind the girl with her hands on her head, here - note the recognizable red nose and hat:

One difference tun and tOSU fans clearly have is only tun fans are arrogant after a loss.

Great catch. I'm sure that badass had to leave the stadium because he was late for his Hell's Angels meeting.

Boise State kicker to Michigan punter: Prepare for 'dark, dark low place'
October 19, 2015 1:24 am ET

It's five years later and Kyle Brotzman still hasn't healed. Watching a replay of Michigan State-Michigan Saturday night didn't help.

“He's going to be struggling for the next couple of years,” Brotzman said of Michigan punter Blake O'Neill. “I went through hell for a couple of years.”

The former Boise State kicker came home from work Saturday night, flipped on his DVR and watched a replay of the Bobble At The Big House. Whatever you want to call it, he was drawn to O'Neill's mis-play of a snap that led to Michigan State's winning touchdown.

Five years ago, Brotzman missed two easy field goals at Nevada, wrecking the Broncos' chance for a BCS berth -- perhaps even a national championship.

Cont'd ...

Even the Detroit Free Press is railing on Harbaugh:

That's why it was disappointing that Harbaugh came across as a poor sport afterwards, crying about what he thought was officiating strongly tilted against the Wolverines. Instead, he should've pointed an accusatory finger at himself for calling a punt on the last play. Why even take the chance in that situation? Run the ball on fourth down and take a few more seconds off the clock, leaving Michigan State with no other option than attempt a Hail Mary on the final play.

But instead of blaming himself, Harbaugh blamed the referees.

It wasn't a good look.

Several folks at work today were also saying the punt wasn't the right call. Actually it was. If scUM runs the ball, fails to convert the fourth down, and doesn't run out the clock (which stops during the change of possession), then Sparty at least has a chance at a Hail Mary...of course, no one ever converts a Hail Mary at the Pig House, right? Or if they fumble the ball or get it stripped during the run, giving Sparty a chance, then everyone would be railing on Hairball for not punting. If scUM simply executes the punt--which they be able to do about 99% of the time--then game over since Sparty had no one back to receive it.

Looks like Blake is starting to roll the other way though. I find it hard to believe they would have thrown a pass back across the field on 4th and 2. But who knows.
