I had a rather huge article written about the Michigan-Western Michigan game from last week, but it was just too long for this platform. If you don't know what I'm talking about, please go look up what happened and realize that I'm not *just* talking about #sports here. So don't do that "ew, sportsball" nonsense.
There is one very big takeaway from the whole story that I feel is getting way underplayed, and that is that the entire official story, as parlayed by the Big 10 Conference, very literally comes down to a demand that you disbelieve what you saw. We have a clock over here, it shows one second, and what you saw doesn't matter...it didn't really happen.
This is an increasing problem to navigate in a world of Jeffrey Epstein, the Donald Trump regime, AI, and similar crap - a loss of objective grounding. Rather than there being a standard established by consensus and neutral authority, we're dealing with "rules" that serve the whims of those whom we are powerless to affect. Michigan will walk away with this and that will be that; no one will complain because there's money involved and no one is going to lose their money over this.
One of the things I heard in leading the #Greens was, "You can't lead because you don't compromise on anything!" Which wasn't true. Compromise is a virtue; what we did was refuse to be *compromised*. (These were #Democrats . They definitely didn't understand the difference.)
At this point, with all that is occurring, I don't know how to change things for the better, but I'm convinced of one necessary starting point, and that is to refuse to be compromised and to stand up and say, repeatedly, annoyingly, stubbornly, again, and again, and again, and yes again that we won't be "getting over" anydamnthing. Yeah, ultimately, it's a football game and who cares - but they just made it into something much, much deeper with their insistence that #reality is something they control.
The President of the U.S. is a madman, and he lost the 2020 election. The elites of the world ran a pedophilic trafficking ring. Billionaires are recklessly pushing AI and ruining the planet. Right-wing evangelical movements in the U.S. have nothing to do with Christ. Vaccines are efficacious and contribute to overall public health. There's a genocide happening in Gaza. "Human rights" means everybody, including the trans people.
And for God's sake, you lousy sons of bitches, there was no time on that clock.

"The replay officials have been told, that if there is a discrepancy, use the television footage. Do not use your footage in the command center. Use the footage that ten million people are watching, not the one that's three." -- Mike Pereira
Per Pereira, it's not a formal rule, it's a protocol directed to replay officials in college football. So, they didn't follow their protocols and we got a screwed up situation.
Why would a Hail Mary do-over have much better odds of succeeding over the first? Primarily, the QB is able to adjust his throw accordingly to how the first one went. You want to place it just on the inside of the goal line, not the back edge. Underwood had overthrown on the first Hail Mary, and as we saw in the second attempt, he placed it perfectly towards the inside front of the goal line.

I love #CollegeFootball and I'm a #MichiganWolverines fan. Last night the Wolverines were awarded a win against the #WesternMichigan Broncos after a controversial ending. (https://youtube.com/shorts/YUO7vN7fGdI) I don't really see anyway that Michigan should have won that, and I actually hope the win is overturned.
I do understand why the fans stormed the field, though. They'd spent the entire second half worried that Western was going to win. (Western may have had more possession time in the second half than Michigan had all game.) The 2007 loss to Appalachian State ("The Horror") was devastating and none of the fans wanted to see that happen. As far as they knew in that moment, the added second was legit and then Michigan made an amazing hail Mary play to win.
There might be an argument that there was actually a fraction of a second left when the game clock showed 0:00. From a programming perspective, perhaps the clock shows round(currentTime) instead of ceiling(currentTime). I don't really buy that, because delay of game penalties are called when the play clock hits 0 seconds. It's always seemed to me that it's showing the ceiling, not a rounding of the time, so I'd have a hard time believing that.
From what I see, the only way the second should have been put back on is if (1) the game clock in the stadium shows the rounded time AND (2) the clock the refs look at during reviews shows the ceiling time instead. (TW: cursing https://youtube.com/shorts/9hqEIcXD9-I) If that's really the case, then that is NOT what the fans expect and fans in general should be quite upset about the difference between expectation and reality.

Absolutely heartbreaking for #WesternMichigan. They got hosed.

I'm sorry, but #MichiganWolverines shouldn't have won their game over #WesternMichigan.
That wasn't a miracle win; it was an ominous sign for a team with a quarterback who didn't improve over last year, handed a win by bad refs. They were dominated by a MAC team. At home. Until the refs rescued them.
The Wolverines caught every break in the final 8 minutes of the game: overlooking a clear facemask; a running into the kicker foul; gave them a second back when the QB spiked the ball; then gave them another second back when the game clock ran zero with a throw through the back of the end zone.
Even the NBC's announcers and their expert ref noted the anomalies.
Western Michigan controlled the game, holding onto the ball 2:1. Michigan's offense took just 48 snaps. Until that second Hail Mary, Bryce Underwood had thrown for just 123 yards. At home.
They say teams make huge improvements between their first and second games; for their sake, I hope they do before they go down to Norman.
