If you are upset about Western Michigan getting screwed over against Michigan. We see the NCAA isn't going to do what is right. Ty thousands upon thousands of people are upset, yet they will change nothing. There is only one thing to do then. Do NOT watch them play. Unfortunately we play them this year and have to watch that game. Don't watch them again till things change and they stop getting so much officiating help and the like. If their viewership numbers turn horrible the hen things may change. Don't make an excuse to watch hoping to see them fail. You have to abstain from watching them altogether.

You aren't going to watch them get beat down this weekend? I certainly will be.
If we don't play them, why would you watch? I've never watched 'em, and never will unless they're on our slate. 
Too lazy to provide any link, but both the Big Ten and MAC are in agreement that putting one second back on the clock was the right thing, so save your anger and vindictiveness for something else.
Don't watch...that'll show 'em. LOL

They are perpetual cheaters therefore, now referred to as Cheatigan Wolverines.
On a side note, we has season tickets on the east side of Kinnick about the 30 and sat near a young guy that would yell “cheaters” over and over when the opposing team got penalties. It was hilarious and always made us laugh when he did it. Dressed up as a dairy cow at the CapOne Bowl when Iowa beat LSU. Funny guy.

It's one thing to say the call was wrong.
It's another thing to say the refs did it on purpose.
It's yet another thing to say Michigan cheated.
All W Mich had to do was stop a Hail Mary that works about 1% (or less) of the time to win the game.

ALOT of people will be watching and rooting for Oklahoma, and whomever they play this year. Like I said in sports many people like a villain to root against. Michigans games will be must see TV for many.
As much disdain as I have for the outcome, I've said the same thing. In THIS instance, Michigan did not cheat. If we're all being honest there isn't a fan on here who would have expected Kirk not to run that second play if the refs awards it too him. This is on the league office, not the coach or players in the game.
Michigan didn't cheat, but they're like the Patriots in that even though they do cheat, even when they actually don't, the universe still cheats for them. Which really blows because I'm a Lions fan but hate Michigan. Wish the college and NFL teams roles were reversed. It's literally happened more than once where some dumb AF rule that shouldn't exist that no one even KNEW existed until it cost the Lions a game. And then the league removed or changed it next week. Instead, Michigan gets the win and exposes this hidden clock ******** and NCAA says tough **** to WMU but that will never happen again.
Like I said this whole thing sucks, and I understand people calling this out. I just wish people wouldn't make stuff up, like Michigan cheated. They didn't. No coach would have not ran that last play, and not have been fired, or lost his locker room.
You saw the thread I started about this totally effed up ending to a game. I am upset that the so called game clock in the stadium is not the official measuring stick like we have always thought it was. For us now to find out that there is an unsynched clock in the replay booth that perhaps shows tenths of seconds is absurbed. To find out that there is this hidden excuse to nullify a victory and give a team a second chance to win is absurd.
I dont agree with the people that said all WMU had to do was stop the second attempt which is sort of hard to do as there was the delay for Mich to get a new play in place and WMU's players were probably in shock almost.
I watched the Olympics robbery of the US BBall team live and it was beyond belief. It is not that hard to synch up clock feeds.
This just stinks of the Cooper Dejean's punt return being called back by a replay official who was asked to judge whether Coop stepped out but then made a judgment call on something he was not supposed to judge. Where are the adults who should have told that replay official he did not have the right to make a judgment on the fair catch sign and on these officials to say the stadium clock was wrong and their clock was right by a few tenths of a second.
I try to watch the games of Iowa's upcoming big ten opponents so I can know what those teams do. I will watch Mich, I will watch Mich vs OSU later in the season as it is a classic and this year I will hope OSU blasts Mich.
We play them in Ann Arbor in 15 days, hell yes I'm watching their game tomorrow.
I am worried about UM home cooking and Iowa getting screwed, but I would have worried about that regardless of what happened to WMU.

This is brilliant. We'll teach em!!
Actually they had to stop it twice. They were successful the first time.
At this point, I wouldn’t mind them going on a 2 game winning streak. And then suck again against us.
According to research, a hail mary works about 8 percent of the time in the NFL and about 5 percent of the time in college. It's just a damn shame that, despite those odds, Michigan completed that pass. As you say, if only W. Michigan had stopped it, the controversy would have been moot. It's just so sickening that the football gods stole a victory from a 28-point underdog and awarded it to a program known for cheating. Western Michigan won that game for 59 minutes and, at least, 59 seconds. That's why this controversy lives on. What a shame for Western Michigan and for college football.
That would certainly be better for us in the long run
True, but I'd add WM is a pretty darn good MAC school. I believe they won 10 games last year, and I'd bet they have a really good year again.
While it’s BS they were able to get the victory, Iowa would prefer to be playing a 3-0 or 2-1 Wolverine squad than a 1-2 team in two weeks
possible that michigan just had a bad day against wmu coz they look pretty damn good against ou. up 7 with some great plays by underwood
