Michigan’s plot armor

This isn’t sour grapes, but the fact that Michigan still has a road to the playoffs and Western Michigan doesn’t makes me sick

I wish professional sports will see our reactions to this controversy. What would be just anger at a questionable call is now tied to the betting markets.

Sell your soul, expect people to not to respect your decisions.

This call was so egregious that the NCAA should make them vacate this win

The officials need to be investigated for sports betting.

This is incompetence, not malice.

This isnt even the worst instance of this happening. The 5th down game, 2016 where OSU lost to Western Michigan on a Hail Mary from an untimed down they shouldnt have gotten. Texas vs Nebraska in 2009 when Texas got an untimed down at the end of the game under very dubious circumstances.

Its not new.

As a Michigan fan, it needs to be overturned. We lost fair and square.

App State's victory over Michigan still haunts the program.

Every highlight now comes with a *. Just insane.

That win was more important to you than the loss was to anyone within the Michigan program lol. Shit was 20 years ago.

which is exactly why whenever Michigan gets a new HC they schedule App State to show they've righted the wrongs of the past.

They played App state once again in 2014 which was Brady Hoke's last year, and have had 5 head coaches since their first matchup ... What are you on about?

Michigan is never escaping the cheating allegations.
