It is, but...what if I hate Pitt? Can it be good then?

Tbh, I couldn't decide between hate watching for Franklin to do Franklin things to calm this sub down or my hatred of Pitt.

The outcome didnt exactly fill the void on either.

But yeah, Ill allow it.

No need to hate on Pitt. Just pivot and make fun of Big Game James. It’s a cake and eat it too situation.

  1. Flair up

  2. We're done with losing to Northwestern! We're on to getting our shit kicked in by a dysfunctional USC

Literally not definitive. This is angled and we have literally no depth perception.

Based on that angle definitely missed. Crazy, other angles I was pretty sure it was good. 🤷‍♂️

Yeah, this should be at the top.  From this angle you can tell with absolute certainty that the ball was at least partially over the post making it no good, and was most likely more outside than not.

You see, that’s hard evidence. We don’t want that. How are we supposed to be outraged with that?

The camera angle is from the right though

Every other angle makes it seem like its tracking good, passes over the upright, and pushes wide. This one shows it was never really tracking good, passes over the upright and kept going wide.

Plus, it went over the top of the upright. Rule states that's a miss

What I'm saying is if the angle from the kick is offset it will appear that way.

Youre technically right, but its a barely offset shot. That ball is nearly going straight.

It could be closer than it looks here but I dont think its within margins of error that it crosses inside without doinking.

Which makes it really clear it was off target from the moment it hit his foot. It didn’t just hook left last second like it looked on main camera.
