My wife claims that every time Michigan has an opportunity to tackle a Bama player, they twist the player's leg. I'm cooking corned beef so I can't authenticate her claim.

Thoughts?
1rst, that’s a flag. Second, get her a Tom account

Is Harbaugh seriously complaining about a hold? Every call thus far has gone his way.

In case anyone hasn’t seen this and is wondering about all the ‘LANK’ stuff….

Watching Hairball’s sideline reactions, you would swear Michigan is getting screwed by refs every play that is not positive.

Yes. He stinks. Never makes adjustments. You’d think he would be better for $11 million per year.

And Michigan fields a punt inside the 10! Then the QB and WRs aren’t on the same page and they have to punt. They don’t look prepared after halftime. Horrible coaching on both sides. They stink. They should both hire someone better.
It’s so funny to read how differently posters on this board watch other teams’ games. That’s what I hate the most, the lack of consistency. If you’re going to judge PSU on every play, do it for everyone else.

I’m simply saying those here who think this game sucks are State football fans but not really football fans.
The game has been interesting, so wasn’t one of those people whom you are addressing, but even so fwiw I do recognize that I have become mostly just a fan of Penn State football and not necessarily college football in general as I used to be.

Thus, fwiw I certainly wouldn’t have standing to judge that portion of the fanbase of which I am currently unapologetically a part. 🤷🏽‍♂️

People see, hear, and interpret what they want to based on predisposed judgment.

Yep. Sounds ridiculous, right? It’s called satire. Nevertheless, it’s not a crisp game by two very good teams.
That fumble by Bama was just great coaching and the failed flea flicker was an excellent call as well.

I like how #92 on Bama thought he was already in the NFL. Makes sense for them.

And Michigan bails them out with a questionable timing for a trick play and the high snap on the FG.

49-yard FG by Michigan is wide, so it remains 17-13, Bama, with 10:30 left in the 4th qtr

For the record, there just as many mistakes in this game than any game we watched this year with our team. The only difference is all the hoopla around the game. As someone else said, neither of these teams are all that impressive. This isn’t the Bama team we are used to seeing and Michigan has shot themselves in the foot multiple times. The run was effective, but now they are trying to throw and get cute.
