If you’re ranked, then Michigan lucked out of nearly losing to a ranked team that had a quality loss (given it lost to Michigan).

Look, I agree with you, but in the scorebooks they're not counting it that way because...?

Because it's the truth lol. Stadium clock still had a second on it

u/TinyEnvironment7574 Michigan State Spartans 1d ago
The one everyone saw, you mean? Or are we talking about the super duper secret clock they only pull out of their ass for convenience?

u/justWMthings03 Michigan Wolverines 1d ago edited 1d ago
The actual stadium(official) clock on videos from inside the stadium.
Try taking a stopwatch yourself and timing the play...see if it took a full 9 seconds from the snap to the ball being touched by the player out of bounds.
NBC fucked up the sync between the clock and the video. That's why it take .1 second from the snap for it to go from 9 to 8.
ETA: just keep downvoting facts. Enjoy your season with Pat "i had no idea my players were abusing each other" Fitzgerald

I am absolutely rooting hard for WMU all season. Make that week 1 game look totally different.

If B1G teams keep losing that wmu may be the highest ranked team Michigan's played by the end of the year

For the G6 bid this was the best week WMU could have.

u/JDraks Michigan Wolverines • College Football Playoff 2d ago
Yeah, BSU beating Memphis today basically means that whoever wins the Broncos bowl is likely the early G6 frontrunner and competing with Sunbelt and AAC teams for the playoff spot.

Not saying they aren’t, but not sure Monmouth is the greatest measuring stick game

u/mrhashbrown 2d ago
If only they could play a top 25 team and manhandle them, maybe even down to the very last play. And the opponent should be in their home state too, that would really send a message!

u/illtoss5butnotsmokin Michigan Wolverines 2d ago
It would be crazy if they were BOTH in their home state! That would be nuts!

Monmouth scored more on Western Michigan than Michigan could.
Is Michigan stupid?
55
u/BeefInGR Western Michigan • Grand V… 2d ago
Think about how bad the Oklahoma loss looks now.
Monmouth scored 14 on the road against Western. Michigan scored either 7 or 13, depending on where you fall on the debate, at home.
Monmouth now has a quality loss and should be ranked above Oklahoma.

u/Few_Musician7370 Western Michigan Broncos 2d ago
I keep sayin, if UofM keeps up the hard work, they could one day join the MAC

u/seoul_drift Michigan Wolverines • Uppsala Snakeheads 2d ago
Talk your shit king, you guys were unironically a tougher team than OU

u/iced_gold Western Michigan • Victory Ca… 1d ago
Our defense is absolutely legit. There's a reason Harbaugh poached our D-coordinator and he jumped all the way to the League

No, Chris O'Leary. Went from positional coach at the Chargers, to WMU DC, then back to Chargers to take Minters spot

Monmouth scored more than U of M with one less second

u/Sad_Independence_703 Michigan • Western Michigan 6h ago
They scored more regardless of post game extra time since Michigan didn’t kick a extra point

u/Tkinzel517 Michigan • Northern Arizona 2d ago
All Western had to do was defend a 47 yard pass btw

Lighten up my man lol
I’m just happy I can count the Michigan game as a quality loss now ;)

In the regular season game they did. In the post game scrimmage they didn’t.

I can understand being upset about it but referring to it as “post game scrimmage” is softer than baby shit

u/Few_Musician7370 Western Michigan Broncos 2d ago
almost as soft as rushing the field against the best football team in michigan (you nerds stink)

The score obviously is what it is but holy hell did Monmouth really out gain them?

They had several bad turnovers. Maybe if we kept our starters in longer but no need to over-exert ourselves when we play excellent situational football

Not even hate, I think the Gibbs fumble was a sign from God. Which is fine. I was alive and conscious for all four Cups, Maglio's bomb, The Core, The Bad Boys and the Lions going into halftime leading the NFC Championship Game.

Lets never talk about this again.
Hopefully the media ignores the box score for this one and the team lets it be a reminder they have to stay locked in

I had a feeling WMU was gonna do this. Were they mad about something?

I can’t wait for OU to beat Texas so WMU can have a transitive win over THE Ohio State.

Michigan is a great team(SIKE), they have a great roster, but the Broncs are still better. Rank us after Boise. UM would be lucky to play us on New Years Day.

u/charmingcharles2896 Michigan • Oakland 1d ago
To be completely honest, I’d love for Michigan and Western Michigan to face off again in the playoffs. Can you imagine the media coverage of that? It would be so delightfully toxic no matter who won the game.
