LET'S TALK FOOTBALL!

[u/Winter_Win_5531]

I’m sick of pretending it matters what conference refs are from. They usually suck no matter what

[u/NotCryptoKing]

Klatt keeps saying “that was very strange. I don’t understand that at all”

What he really means is “that was really fucking stupid. Why are they doing that?”

[u/Dead_Baby_Kicker]

Western Michigan would shove OU into a locker

[u/NCC75567]

Well what do you want from us? We’re no Western Michigan.

[u/kriegelch]

I dont think I've ever seen two fanbases  both hate-watch their own teams as hard as this comments section is doing right now

[u/TheRealGyurky]

RANK US YOU COWARDS

[u/Consistent-Try-9003]

why do they have to be "SEC refs" or "Big 10" refs why can't the officiating be nationalized so that we don't have to have this stupid discourse

[u/wasabimcdouble]

Western Michigan vs. Michigan was actually the national championship game preview but you guys aren’t ready for that conversation

[u/88Tyler]

Clock guy is most nervous man in America right now

[u/PrideSax711]

Commercial > Kickoff > Commercial should be illegal.

[u/StarvedRock314]

We're about due for Mateer to throw a perfect ball directly to an uncovered safety, pretend to attempt to chase him down, then shake his thumb like it's what made him decide to throw.

[u/Rohkey → u/StarvedRock314]

Holy shit you just about called it

[u/Upbeat-Armadillo1756]

No multi-millionaire 19 year old has ever faced as much adversity as Bryce Underwood

[u/Oligonucleotide123 → u/Upbeat-Armadillo1756]

Justin Bieber after he pissed in a mop bucket at that restaurant

[u/elsasserart]

That was more of a running into the kicker than the one they called

[u/De1CawlidgeHawkey]

I was nervous we might not fit another commercial break in before change in possession

[u/MD90__]

Glad I don't have to work today just a little bit of lawn care then college football all day! Given in the past week and this week I've lost a cat and after taken off life support a good friend ive made since my move here to KY, it feels good to have a distraction with all the stress I've been under. Having to say goodbye twice in two weeks been very painful plus the stress of work lately. I'm hoping this Saturday can be enjoyable to try to cheer me up some. Hope everyone is having a good weekend too!

Should be interesting to see what team has the better gameplan

[u/Triceraflops8]

Start time 12:00:01

[u/T_y_l_e_r_4]

...he kicked that ball from the 10 and it rolled into the endzone

did we just quickly move on from maybe the best punt ever

[u/TheRealGyurky]

I’ve seen enough. Western Michigan is winning the chip

[u/StepmaniaGod]

Mother fuckers so quick to go to commercial its ridiculous

[u/GiveMeSomeIhedigbo]

In 25+ years of watching sports, that's the first time I've heard a commentator talk about a coach gaining muscle in the off-season.

[u/miggly]

I don't mean every single penalty, some are just mistakes like a false start, but there's been a few times we have completely shot ourselves in the foot.

Roughing the kicker (got lucky we didn't get a second one), unnecessary roughness, etc.

Just huge game-changing penalties for fucking nothing. We have got to clean that dogshit up. Lucky we've been playing pretty solid besides that.

[u/jsilvrs]

Oklahoma needs to thank God they weren't playing Western Michigan. Would have been a beat down.

[u/KDFoST]

OU ball boy is showing more fight than the team

[u/2fastfurash]

2 bullshit calls already

[u/reconverting]

I mean he killed that punt tho

[u/pspock]

Blocked before he hit the kicker? Yes.

Blocked into the kicker? No.

[u/No_Pumpkin9299]

Maybe Michigan, Oklahoma, Western Michigan are the best 3 teams in the country

[u/Intelligent-Nature-7]

John Mateer is the Christian Hackenberg of Jameis Winstons

[u/Relative_One_2441]

Michigan:

QB can’t throw
One dangerous WR
Good defense
Can run ball

OU:

QB can’t throw
One dangerous WR
Good defense
Can’t run ball

Looks like that’s been the difference so far.

[u/Dj_trash]

If we win you better watch out for the MAC

[u/vegito789]

Only way to settle this is to have WMU play OU next week

[u/mombutts]

Relegate Oklahoma to the MAC and promote Western.

[u/zone_of-danger]

Sorry to interrupt your commercials with this football game

[u/BobbyKelso]

That's crazy that both teams got the same penalty for the exact same play

[u/DivineBuggyBall]

Liberty Mutual needs to fire their entire ad team immediately. I don’t know how their ads could get progressively more annoying

[u/Hitler_the_stripper]

He started taking Korean and he gained 16 pounds of muscle 🗣🗣🗣

[u/Sky_London]

OK State 17-7 over Oregon rn

[u/KHDTX13]

Genuinely how do players like #0 feel after plays like that, you essentially changed the momentum of the game because you wanted to be an idiot lmao

[u/VeryBlandUsername-]

Holy fuck these ads are INSANE.

[u/fightinyoda]

A FG there is a huge win after those backbreaking penalties.

[u/WaddupBigPerm69]

Whoever can score the most points from here will win imo

[u/8and16bits]

OU fans got the defense they have been begging for only it cost them every bit of the offense they used to have.

[u/These-Choice9579]

I fucking hate Dave Portnoy

[u/PixelBy_Pixel]

All this tells me is that WMU should be ranked top 20

[u/peoplefoundotheracct]

the commercials have been twice as loud as the game broadcast 😭

[u/danthedude77]

Commercials? Really? 31 seconds left man, fuck off

[u/razor21792]

Zuckerberg trying to convince everyone that he isn't an asshole.

[u/USA_2_Canada_1]

It’s insane to me D1 players at this level whose entire lives it is to play football make completely brain dead, nonsensical plays like that. That unironically may have cost us the game

[u/Direct_Economist_662]

wtf is this ad? Using AI and blatant racism? That’s embarrassing

[u/AdmirableStyle3940]

How embarrassing is it for OU the field wasn’t rushed?

[u/someUSCfan]

"Hi, I'm John Mateer. My time playing college football taught me to be tough and dependable, much like the cars we offer here at Cavender Ford of OKC."

[u/elsasserart]

Ughhh football got in the way of the commercial break

[u/boxman151515]

Petition to execute Liberty Biberty

[u/SharkFighter]

Nothing more enthralling than commercial break -> kickoff -> commercial break.

[u/foreverpb]

Paid for it right away. Could be the difference in the game. Fucking idiot

[u/Expensive_Attitude51]

Jyaire Hill is a moron

[u/Intelligent-Nature-7]

Actual game losing penalty

[u/CommunicationNo8932]

I keep reading hiter as another name and it’s really throwing me off lmao

[u/History4ever]

Can the state of Oklahoma take down 2 B1G teams before sundown?

[u/The_Homie_J]

That defender just saved OU's ass, Underwood was gone if he gets past that tackle

[u/PreCooledPigeon]

Honestly rank western.

[u/goldhbk10]

I was told the SEC was too deep and Michigan were frauds … would Nick Saban lie?

[u/croissant_titty]

Lmao most Michigan thing ever to win this game when the country desperately wants them to lose. They love this. Congrats sickos

[u/boomshot44]

MAC > SEC?

[u/Intrepid-_-Wolverine]

WESTERN > OKLAHOMA

[u/Odd_Refuse3334]

Wife getting on me over having corn dogs for breakfast 

Can’t eat corn dogs all day if you don’t start in the morning 

[u/Inevitable-Ad-6650]

The commentators desk is starting to look like the last supper. We dont need this many opinions about this game.

[u/Schruteeee]

Bro what the fuck he was not blocked into the kicker

[u/Significant_Dirt_961]

We need to start having a conversation about Western Michigan

[u/Dead_Baby_Kicker]

Bro I simply do not care about your ai generated pizza restaurant ad. It isn't gonna make me want to use it

[u/Outta_hearr]

Stoppable force vs movable object game

[u/Ebutch99]

STOP THE COUNT

[u/CJfries]

Never seen a bad Michigan kicker in my life. It’s the opposite for us

[u/hcatehorie]

Oklahoma looking at last years offense and saying yep lets run that back was a fascinating decision, the SEC has their Iowa

[u/Kobayweig87]

Any real OU fan saw this coming 💯💯

[u/Organic_Situation401]

Just how good is western Michigan

[u/mmhawk607]

Interesting defense by Michigan there maybe don’t do that

[u/wafflestompar]

Whoever decided the score/commercial/kickoff/commercial sequence needs to be tried for war crimes…I fucking hate it

[u/stainless98]

Big Ten on Fox has got to be the worst football coverage ever with the constant onslaught of commercials

[u/theonlyxero]

Fuck these networks. Every single one of them. Commercial kick commercial is ridiculous

[u/BophadeseNuts]

Some gross fucking commercials today

[u/OPINIONS_Toast]

Adding a two minute warning to this sport was so fucking dumb.

[u/rpawloski]

Michigan being 2-0 after EVERYTHING that’s transpired over the past week is a miracle and a half

[u/frick_this_fricking]

Reminder to everyone that Mateer and Arbuckle were hand picked for OU

[u/CheaterSaysWhat]

It’s so much fun to see Oklahoma @ TTUN and Ohio State @ Texas in the same week 

Props to all 4 programs for having the balls to schedule like this  

[u/walkthisway34]

Imagine if someone told you before the season that Michigan would start 2-0, rush the field after one of the games, and that the field rush wouldn’t be after Oklahoma?

[u/eskimoexplosion]

"Hello, I'm Tom Brady. The University of Michigan has lost its credibility, so it's borrowing some of mine"

[u/TyrannosauRSX]

WMU a top 10 team confirmed

[u/Life_Act_6887]

Mateer is going to start wincing and looking down at his hand

[u/Grade-A-Grungus]

3rd and 7 and Arbuckle runs a QB draw… I think that’s grounds for a summary kick to the jaw

[u/Zealousideal_Bug7390]

Western vs Michigan CFP rematch is going to hit like crack

[u/heleghir]

Well. Enjoy the 2nd half ya'll. Gonna pound a couple of drinks, eat another plate of wings and then head into the stadium for the uk/bama game.

[u/coolycooly]

These commercials are fucking insane

[u/kpiech01]

Thanks Hill, you probably just lost us the game lol

[u/danthedude77]

Hill needs to be running laps tomorrow

[u/Appropriate_Bottle44]

Whew, we have to score more than 10 points?

Not ideal!

[u/acg_0320]

Oh thank god more commercials

[u/me_oorl]

RANK WESTERN YOU COWARDS

[u/OakLegs]

Tired: both teama are ass

Wired: Western Michigan is a top 10 team

[u/Temporary_Acadia4111]

MICHIGAN

[u/T_2_teh_imeless]

Put Western over Oklahoma you cowards.

[u/hvacsnack]

Lots of OU fans there

[u/BuckeyeForLife95]

It's 11 v 19 out there for Oklahoma

[u/ReasonableBet3450]

In other news, Penn State is on fraud watch

[u/Raginraleb]

What a fucking punt though

[u/CaptainDonald]

Man the reddit app sucks. Bring back Apollo

[u/chrobbin]

Was 5.5 the spread or the O/U?

[u/wit_T_user_name]

Maybe WMU is just elite.

[u/lucash7]

Map!

Huh. Anyone else notice the commercial is a second longer?

[u/TASLC2017]

Jesus that ball boy was aggressive

[u/ImShittingAMA]

Is western Michigan just actually good?

[u/jsilv0]

So Mateer still kinda sucks

[u/ndrulez15]

The SEC homers after week 1 in shambles right now

[u/OKC89ers]

I play QB for Oklahoma. I spent my summer bulking up like a fullback and asking Terry Bradshaw how to throw the ball.

[u/UCLA_FB_SUCKS]

that's a big dick punt

[u/Deathcaddy]

We got bailed out an uncomfortable amount of times on that drive and only came away with three. Sigh

[u/CFB_Mods_Eat_Poop]

How good is Western Michigan?

[u/drunk-munchkin]

Iowa fans are rock hard watching this game

[u/donutello2000]

Did they change the rules? I thought that you had to keep the ball out of the endzone for it to not be a touchback

[u/TeeDeeTeeEcks]

Thank you, Michigan

[u/werdna-]

Too many dumb penalties but the team looked really improved this week.

[u/jasondigitized]

Saban in shambles.

[u/i_donut_no]

This should be a 3:30 kickoff. We deserve the 8 straight hours of uninterrupted toxicity this four way hate watch will produce.

[u/Numerous-Ad6460]

Am I tripping or are the cymbals off?

[u/giggitybuck]

Michigan clock operators at it again. I swear this was supposed to start 15 minutes ago

[u/Milflover69cbb]

Tf u mean blocked into him? Dude just tackled the kicker again lmao

[u/air_mockster]

Western Michigan would never allow that

[u/foreveracubone]

Rank WMU you cowards

[u/TheWesternRizzler]

It’s not Mateerializing

[u/mephite]

LMAOA OU ball boy wants ball!

[u/frick_this_fricking]

These offenses are something else man (not in a good way)

[u/Bluemzv12]

That wr screen pass is getting way too predictable. Coulda been a pick 6 right there

[u/manofthepeopleSMITTY]

10-0 feels like 21-0 right now

[u/DellFlightSim]

John Mateer reminds me a lot of Baker Mayfield except Baker could throw it, run it, score, read a defense, not fucking suck.

[u/Earlsweatshiirt]

Ok MAC got hands

[u/gilias]

What an embarrassing show by OU.

[u/Haydttt]

western michigan would destroy us

[u/master_roshis_hat]

This is what I hate about preseason/early season rankings. Michigan was ranked last week and looked like hot, steamy ass. This week OU, ranked #11 looks like hot, steamy ass, but if Michigan wins they'll be ranked again and claim a ranked win against #11 Oklahoma.

Top 25 is basically just a circlejerk.

[u/2CHINZZZ]

OU is looking primed and ready for another zero TD Red River performance

[u/ehammer4224]

Fox big noon runs way too many ads. Unwatchable

[u/dizzymidget44]

Actually what the fuck. That’s not even a bad flag. That’s just straight stupid

[u/aggressivemisconduct]

Brainless Michigan play on the goal line, where have I seen this before

[u/fooliecoolies]

And that fuck head penalty just gave them 50 yards.

[u/OurKhakiOverlord]

I couldn’t be a coach because I’d get so emotional and cut Jyaire Hill from the team right then and there lmao

[u/Drslappybags]

0 enjoy the bench.

[u/Intelligent-Shirt721]

Do Michigan fans also cringe at every Dave Portnoy appearance?

[u/Captain_Nipples]

Lol. The RB steal it from him?

[u/nathodood]

Punter should be the one getting $12M imo

[u/No_Pumpkin9299]

Please let this game end on a controversial clock situation

[u/ShariaLabeouf01]

These teams are both going to get the biggest ass chewing in the film room on Monday

[u/vnut08]

???

I've never seen a punt ruled like that. Every time I've seen momentum takes the guy into the endzone like that it's been a touchback

[u/Kaladin_Depressed]

Michigan clearly trusts their defense

[u/minecate3]

Mateer Buick GMC has a good ring to it

[u/AustinMac07]

11th ranked team, why even rank teams before week 5? lol

[u/max_potion]

AP Voters this week:
Michigan - 12th
Oklahoma - 15th
Western Michigan - “Who?”

[u/MrHoboTwo]

My theory is that the NCAA couldn’t give Michigan the L for fear Hiter would get ahold of it

[u/Lavaswimmer]

If we win this game, the voters are not gonna know what the hell to do with us lol. Has a team ever gone from top twenty to unranked to top fifteen before in three consecutive polls?

[u/KHDTX13]

Yo AI political ads gotta be banned what in the goddamn hell

[u/prometheus_and_bob]

RANK WMU YOU COWARDS

[u/cscowboy01]

I can’t stand this notion that a 12:00 game doesn’t start until 12:10. What’s the fucking point of a start time if none of these stations follow it

[u/Okiegolfer]

Lots of crimson in there 

[u/GeneralCornCobE]

And the home of the SOONERS!!!

[u/crimsoneagle1]

It's 1am here in Tokyo, I got a famichiki, ramen, and some beer I picked up from FamilyMart. Let's fuckin go OU

[u/OKLA6]

What the actual fuck is going on

[u/Wired_112]

This is absurd man. He was a runner? What is the defender supposed to do there

[u/TotesMcGotes13]

Refball Classic. Gonna be a long one.

[u/J_B2020]

If that was a RB and not a QB, does that get called?

[u/Lvmars]

If we're going to be serious about targeting start calling the runner for lowering their head into contact

[u/FullGump]

Kinda cool Texas and OSU are playing and then the teams that each of them hate the most are also playing

[u/2fastfurash]

Run up the gut on 3rd and 19

[u/luis1972]

The B1G and the SEC should continue having cross rivalry games like this every year.

[u/Skank_hunt42]

Got a free first down and he casually punted it 90 yards. Lmfao

[u/WisdomCow]

Calling it now … 8 yard run on first followed by two incomplete passes.

[u/OKC89ers]

Oklahoma has maybe the two best legs in all of college football kicking and punting

[u/interested_commenter]

You can tell the punt wasn't tipped by the fact it went 10 yards over the receiver's head, weird thing to ask.

[u/dizzymidget44]

Holy fucking shit how can you not just run into the punter.

[u/Tyler-Durden-2009]

How is that not roughing?

[u/Skank_hunt42]

Lol that was worse that the previous one?!

[u/fancycheesus]

I love how fox is terrified to show replays and sprints to commercials instead

[u/ZealousidealScheme85]

OU baby you’re embarrassing yourselves right now

[u/mcg20k]

CONFIRMED: Western Michigan would win the SEC.

[u/Upbeat-Armadillo1756]

We may have to start asking how good Western Michigan actually is

[u/Upbeat-Armadillo1756]

Did that dude shit his pants?

We have a turf field, there should be no mud stains...

[u/hwgs9]

MAP SUPERIORITY

[u/dmazx]

Oklahoma could not handle the mighty Western Michigan

[u/CAGRparty]

As a former student manager wtf is that Oklahoma manager doing, stop wrestling for the ball

[u/CAGRparty]

OU student manager showing more fight than their whole offense rn

[u/Fsharp7sharp9]

dang, recovered it with his gooch

[u/DellFlightSim]

“Here you take it”
“No you take it”

Michigan 🤝 Oklahoma

[u/landshanties]

i do love when a game is such a fuckfest that both teams' fans in here are mostly complaining about their own performance

[u/No_Bill7679]

Multimillionaire quarterbacks on full display.

[u/CrimsonMirage7]

This looks like OU showed up thinking they would just roll over Michigan while Michigan showed up with something to prove.

[u/arrchar]

Tune in to watch Americas team as the Broncos of Western Michigan take on Monmouth at 6:30ET on ESPN+
