    I'm not a Michigan fan - or a hater - and I feel badly for Western, but to my eyesight watching the replay, you could make a case that the instant the pass crossed the boundary line there was 1 second left.

    A twitter post from the MAC office. Feel bad for the Broncos as they were the better team last night.

    Ok I'm confused. If a player is in bounds but catches a ball that has gone past the sideline or endline is it still a catch? If so the ball must still be in play. So how does the clock stop if the ball is still in play? Just asking for a friend (from Kalamazoo)

    Lots of people amazed at the storming of the field by Mich. fans after a win over WMU. You'll have to forgive them. They were mostly freshmen. They think that football is Pass Fail now at Michigan.

    I have watched a number of so called Hail Mary's over the years. Regardless I guess it's a no win situation. Great for the winners, difficult to swallow for the losers. Really a tough one for Western Michigan for sure.:(

    Yes, but the video review shown to the MAC commissioner confirmed that the player caught the ball OOB with one second left. Rather than calling the commisioner a liar, which a lot of aggrieved fans did, I choose to accept that all parties to the matter are honorable and the decision was correct. I still feel badly for WMU. I hope they can recover mentally for their next game.

    Wisconsin has been a pleasant force this evening with Notre Dame. Luke Fickell has to be pleased at this point. This has been an enjoyable game to watch thus far.

    Wisconsin is playing vintage Badgers physical football so far.

    Chambliss pulls another rabbit out of the hat. For a 0 star recruit coming out of high school in the Grand Rapids area, he has become an outstanding college QB.

    Kienzhold former bench QB for Ohio State, had a terrific game for Louisville last night, really glad to see that he has found a home and apparently doing very well in his first start for the Cardinals. Passed for over 300 yards last night.

    SMU and FSU are delayed by Power Outage in the stadium. That might be a first!

    Never heard of this kid, one of those kids overlooked by a lot of the recruiting guru's I guess.

    Freshman running back Jamal Rule stole the show in Nebraska's first game of the 2026 season, and it wasn't just Husker fans who took notice.


    The 6-foot, 215-pound ball carrier from Salisbury, North Carolina, was named the Big Ten Freshman of the Week on Monday after totaling 169 all-purpose yards and three touchdowns in NU's Week 1 win over the Ohio Bobcats.

    They are getting ready to kick it in Tallahassee. No scoreboard, no coach communication with the QB, no game clock and the QB will have to watch one of the refs to see the clock count down, no replay. This is old school football game.

    Not all lights are operational.
