The Undercard: Fiesta Bowl: Michigan Vs TCU

[deech 2,291]

Wow.  No call for targeting is just as nuts as calling it IMHO.  Couldn't win either way.

Man I did not have TCU playing in the Championship game on my bingo card

Did anyone have 'em back when all the ESPN knowitalls made their picks at the beginning of the season?

Good job refs. You cannot call that there.

This is the dumbest opinion in sports. There's not a different set of rules at the end of a game.

[Stunns38 3,536]

I mean, this is definitely more of a targeting penalty than Overshown’s against Frank Harris.

They probably realized that Texas Christian was not Texas so no targeting.

[Sgt Hulk 13,785]

Holy fuck. Cock roaches to the natty 

 

 

cmon. Ohio state!!!!!!

The fucking Michigan guy Pitched it forward!!!

Was legal because he was behind the LOS and there was no previous forward pass

[Augustus 3,061]

Nobody knows what targeting is.

By rule, that was targeting.

replay crew bitched out

The football gods nodded towards sensibility.

If you call the targeting and ignore the illegal forward pass, well...  it'd be so typical for what has happened to college football.

Maybe I’m already drunk but it looks like he hits his upper back to me. 

It doesn't matter. Or isn't supposed to. He lead with the crown of the helmet and made forceful contact.

how bout now?

[Dennis Taylor 18,830]

I hate the targeting rule but I wanted to see Dykes reaction if that got called

[Herpa Derpa 6,126]

Wow. Missed that and the forward pitch.

Forward pitch was fine, it was the first forward pass of the down.

As for the targeting, he hit him in the upper back.

Fairrow-Stewart narrowly avoided a very uncomfortable plane ride home

So do you bench that center if you're Harbaugh? Major fuckup at critical moment.

are you high? arguably the best center in CFB

That was shoulder to shoulder contact. Not targeting.

He missed the target.

Should have been targeting 

Yup, we've been called for targeting for much less than that.  They were too scared to possibly alter the game.  If it happened in the first half, it would've been called.

[DanTheHorn 4,934]

Well good for the roaches, we been there so they can talk but it don't bother us much. On the other hand the misery aggy would feel would be well worth it

[LTtxfan 49,247]

Damn MeatChicken really shit the bed...  

[Newdoc 3,448]

Ironic the frogs get through the regular season by the skin of their teeth but really dominated Michigan for a lot of the game. They earned the championship with this game.

[wood 11,227]

Michigan got fuuuuuuuuuuuuucked. Twice.

[Rockethorn1978 6,093]

Damn guess Sonny dykes proves you don’t need a roster full of 5 stars to make it. Great coaching with a mixed bag can work too.

[Augustus 3,061]

It's gonna be TCU vs Ohio State isn't it?

Because nothing is making sense.

[Juicy 727]

Two replays that they got flat out wrong.

Michigan played like shit and didn’t deserve to win. But they got 7 points taken off the board by a review that both announcers and the rules guy said it was a TDs.

And I have seen way less get called for targeting. Still a lot to do if they call it. But that is tough.

What a Jekyll and Hyde game for Michigan. Looked great at times and looked like absolute shit at others

[NashLonghorn 270]

Based on the season so far it would not shock me if TCU beats Georgia/OSU

[Bullneck 19,168]

Color me shocked that didn't get called targeting and UM scored on the next play. 

[Sawbonz 27,578]

Looked like he lowered his head but side of his helmet made contact w ball carrier not crown. I don’t think it was conclusive. If targeting called on field it would have stood

I didn’t like stopping it there, but if you stop it and review it, you have to call it

Yeah the powers that be wanted TCU in the final and not Michigan

[mchookem 16,336]

JUST GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER NEXT YEAR TEXAS!!! 🤘

Anytime I see Dykes talking it reminds me of this.

No Georgia is gonna run a train tonight and on tcu. 

[wood 11,227]

How do they let SEC refs ref this game with Georgia on the other side of the bracket?

[D3zii 3,706]

Damn TCU made it to the college football national championship before Texas and OU in the playoff era 

 

[Shaggy3.0 1,695]

TCU made a bigger commitment to winning than we did.

That's all.

helmets don't have to touch. the defender has to be leading with the crown of the helmet.... which he was...

Doesn’t it have to be head or neck area?

That doesn't fucking matter when you lead with the crown of the helmet. There are two types of targeting. Only one requires contact to the head of neck area. 

[ousux 5,597]

Fuck everything about this. I can't think of a single good reason that shouldn't be the longhorns beating Meatchicken rn ffs
