Having witnessed the referee war crimes from Michigan-Illinois in 2000 (the fumble game) and again from Michigan-Illinois in 2022 (the “what OPI?” OPI) my first instinct is always to believe the conspiracy angle. But ironically in this instance the reversal did college football no favor at all...

That’s not right though. If the clock is set to 9 seconds, it should display 0:09 for one full second after it is started before dropping to 0:08. Clock set at 0:09 Ball snapped, clock starts 0.00 to 0.09 seconds elapsed —> clock displays “0:09” 1.00 to 1.09 seconds elapsed —> clock displays...

12+ hours later and after the dust has settled, this is my read of the situation. Both the NBC production team and the B1G officials apparently synchronize the game footage with a fixed shot of the game clock on the scoreboard in the stadium. Somehow their respective syncs were different by...

And even if you were operating under some weird theory that the clock stops the moment the ball crosses the plane to exit the field of inbounds play—which is not a thing—the clock was still at 00. This might be bigger than the typical screw job deal. That wasn’t a fantom PI or whatever. It’s a...

The Isiah—>Bryant—>Beatty—>Dixon continuum is looking real

Ok, let’s just do that three or four more times and we’ll be fine

Time of possession that quarter was 13 minutes to 2.

This is just my pre-Whitman PTSD talking but it makes me nervous having a coordinator this qualified to serve as interim head coach.

Us east coast Illini seeing “at Maryland” on the 2026 schedule

I remember 20 years ago obsessively playing NCAA Football 2K3 on PS2 and winning national championships with the weirdest unlikeliest teams possible. Colorado State national title? Yes. A natty for Bowling Green? Why not. This will always feel like some version of that to me. Like somehow we’re...
