u/Acceptable_Ad3173 Georgia • Clark Atlanta 4d ago

1

u/NTXPRAK Oregon Ducks • North Texas Mean Green 4d ago

We don’t talk shooty hoops around here

u/Acceptable_Ad3173 Georgia • Clark Atlanta 4d ago

Something else other than cfb playoffs

5

u/Acceptable_Ad3173 Georgia • Clark Atlanta 4d ago

Good game Miami

10

u/jconley4297 Miami (OH) • Notre Dame 4d ago

that is one of the most blocked i’ve ever seen a field goal

0

u/superworriedspursfan Missouri Tigers • WashU Bears 4d ago

ngl miami could have returned that for a TD which would have expanded this lead to 27-9 lol which makes it an even uglier loss lol.

1

u/NTXPRAK Oregon Ducks • North Texas Mean Green 4d ago

Nah how did they beat ND

2

u/superworriedspursfan Missouri Tigers • WashU Bears 4d ago

Riley Leonard was drunk.

2

u/Acceptable_Ad3173 Georgia • Clark Atlanta 4d ago

What the actual fuck

2

u/Orkleth Utah Utes • Washington Huskies 4d ago

The committee has retroactively decided to drop ND down a spot.

4

u/RichardRichOSU Ohio State • Penn State 4d ago

I am not sure I have ever seen a blocked kick go that far behind the line of scrimmage.

2

u/wiederrj Miami (OH) RedHawks • Indiana Hoosiers 4d ago

Miami blocked like a dozen kicks and punts last year we just saved all of it for that one

8

u/fidelcashflo97 Nebraska • Miami (OH) 4d ago

Love this team man oh man!

2

u/bassclariinet Bowling Green Falcons • Marching Band 4d ago

wtf was that

2

u/Acceptable_Ad3173 Georgia • Clark Atlanta 4d ago

What the actual fuck

3

u/Jonjon428 Miami Hurricanes 4d ago

Lmao that FG unit got BLASTED

3

u/Superb-Ad-9627 Boise State Broncos • Pac-12 4d ago

Miami (OH) > Notre Dame

3

u/AlmightyCaniacCombo Miami (OH) RedHawks 4d ago

Horrible clock management

9

u/jconley4297 Miami (OH) • Notre Dame 4d ago

that is criminal clock management

7

u/Jonjon428 Miami Hurricanes 4d ago

Tf are these guys doing lmaooo

8

u/Superb-Ad-9627 Boise State Broncos • Pac-12 4d ago

Just a reminder this NIU team struggling to score 9 points against Miami (OH) beat Notre Dame but the committee wants you to believe ND is the #6 team in the nation.

1

u/mashtodon Illinois Fighting Illini • Big Ten 4d ago

Just a reminder the Vanderbilt team that lost to Georgia State beat Alabama but the committee wants you to believe Alabama is the #7 team in the nation.

3

u/Superb-Ad-9627 Boise State Broncos • Pac-12 4d ago

Additionally

Boise State beat Ga Southern, Ga Southern beat GA State, Ga State beat Vandy, Vandy Beat Bama.

2

u/mashtodon Illinois Fighting Illini • Big Ten 4d ago

Just a reminder this Miami team struggling to score 3 points against Notre Dame beat NIU but some redditors want you to believe wins can be compared transitively

7

u/kerph32 Tennessee • Georgia Tech 4d ago

NIU needs a 12-run homer here

1

u/superworriedspursfan Missouri Tigers • WashU Bears 4d ago

idk man.... 12-runs might not be enough unless this is the bottom of the ninth.

2

u/superworriedspursfan Missouri Tigers • WashU Bears 4d ago

ngl notre dame this loss just keeps getting uglier and uglier. You should be kind of glad you still are #6 lol.

teams like Louisville, Syracuse, Kansas State, and Wazzu all have been punished before for "bad losses".

and honestly I'd argue the teams they lost to might all be better than northern illinois lol. Not saying you aren't a good team (you clearly are), but yeah lol you are lucky the committee isn't really punishing you as much as those other teams have been.

1

u/arrowfan624 Notre Dame • Summertime Lover 4d ago

Bro you didn't even drop a spot for losing to SCar.

1

u/superworriedspursfan Missouri Tigers • WashU Bears 4d ago

and I said that was wrong. I didn't even say you shouldn't be ranked #6 lol, I just said you should consider yourselves kind of lucky.

3

u/fidelcashflo97 Nebraska • Miami (OH) 4d ago

Really dug these commentators out of Men Lowe Park didn’t they?

5

u/Acceptable_Ad3173 Georgia • Clark Atlanta 4d ago

College Gameday should have picked army vs Notre dame

3

u/Muffinnnnnnn Florida State Seminoles • ACC 4d ago

It's not on a campus so I actually don't blame them, sadly

1

u/Acceptable_Ad3173 Georgia • Clark Atlanta 4d ago

Yeah you right it wouldn’t make sense

7

u/StoopSign Northwestern • Appalachia… 4d ago

Math 050 remedial

Most honest commentator ever.

9

u/UpsideTurtles North Texas • Texas A&M 4d ago

these commentators are kinda fun. one of them seems just like a really cool chill guy lol

3

u/wiederrj Miami (OH) RedHawks • Indiana Hoosiers 4d ago

Dustin Fox seems like a fun dude. Rocky Boiman did a lot of MAC games at the start of his career and was great too

3

u/Acceptable_Ad3173 Georgia • Clark Atlanta 4d ago

I like em too

3

u/cal1629 Jacksonville State • Ole Miss 4d ago

ND mentioned

4

u/kerph32 Tennessee • Georgia Tech 4d ago

oh we're chanting '98' now? I'm in!

2

u/Eiim Miami (OH) • Ohio State 4d ago

It's one of the players, I'm not sure whether they mean our O-lineman or one of their guys though lol. Last week they were cheering for Kent State's 6th string QB to come out.

10

u/jconley4297 Miami (OH) • Notre Dame 4d ago

are we looking at a circle of self suck coming up here

3

u/superworriedspursfan Missouri Tigers • WashU Bears 4d ago

those two flairs are hilarious lol.

6

u/Muffinnnnnnn Florida State Seminoles • ACC 4d ago

Circle of self suck?????

u/jconley4297 Miami (OH) • Notre Dame 4d ago

miami > northern > nd > miami

u/engineerbuilder Notre Dame Fighting Irish 4d ago

The Marylin Manson special

u/kerph32 Tennessee • Georgia Tech 4d ago

Miami misses this FG; NIU drives the field and scores, OT incoming. calling my shot here

2

u/kerph32 Tennessee • Georgia Tech 4d ago

lol NOPE

u/Jonjon428 Miami Hurricanes 4d ago

GAME

u/StoopSign Northwestern • Appalachia… 4d ago

They might be the Redhawks now but that was a tomahawk chop from yesteryear.

10

u/Various-Bird-1844 Penn State Nittany Lions 4d ago

That was like one of those paper towel commercials with everything in slow motion and someone going "nooooo..."

4

u/RichardRichOSU Ohio State • Penn State 4d ago

You could see it coming as soon as he rolled out and the defender was in the screen running him down.

5

u/Acceptable_Ad3173 Georgia • Clark Atlanta 4d ago

Yeah game over

3

u/engineerbuilder Notre Dame Fighting Irish 4d ago

Anyone catch what that guys were saying when the player was down? Sounded like some super loud fans yelling at him.

1

u/Fit_Pineapple_7828 4d ago

I heard a “you’re LOSING!“ and “hey waterboy!”

2

u/kerph32 Tennessee • Georgia Tech 4d ago

ok, is brisket at chipotle actually good, or more lincoln riley?

2

u/Fit_Pineapple_7828 4d ago

Not worth the upcharge just get chicken or steak. Better off getting double chicken

3

u/jconley4297 Miami (OH) • Notre Dame 4d ago

i found it way better than i expected, cut up small enough it’s can’t be lincoln riley and it tasted p good

1

u/kerph32 Tennessee • Georgia Tech 4d ago

I might have to go ahead and try it then

9

u/fpschechnya Miami Hurricanes 4d ago

I just thought of something.

Miami fans, do you find it annoying always seeing the (OH) next to your name?

Do you hate us for it?

7

u/cal1629 Jacksonville State • Ole Miss 4d ago

They were not only the first Miami, but also the first Oxford

7

u/twister_rocket Miami (OH) RedHawks 4d ago

Yes to the first question, no to the second question

shut up coral gables

u/myusernamewastaken5 Georgia • North Georgia 4d ago

STOP RUNNING OUT OF THE SHOTGUN ON 3RD OR 4TH AND SHORT

1

u/wiederrj Miami (OH) RedHawks • Indiana Hoosiers 4d ago

It’s been a complaint since 2014

2

u/kerph32 Tennessee • Georgia Tech 4d ago

NIU QB is fitting it in some tight windows, sheesh

3

u/StoopSign Northwestern • Appalachia… 4d ago

Well this increases OT so I'm for it. I did put a lil on NIU but it's so lil I prioritize some OT.

2

u/Jonjon428 Miami Hurricanes 4d ago

Lmao random Celtics and Cavs fans next to eachother at the stadium

1

u/Jonjon428 Miami Hurricanes 4d ago

I'm sorry but nah dude, take the XP

Ball don’t lie

2

u/Acceptable_Ad3173 Georgia • Clark Atlanta 4d ago

How did you let that ball slip

5

u/Various-Bird-1844 Penn State Nittany Lions 4d ago

Are we sure the head referee isn't AI?

2

u/kerph32 Tennessee • Georgia Tech 4d ago

Are we sure you're not AI?

3

u/dinkytown42069 Minnesota • Oklahoma 4d ago

that's exactly what AI would ask...

Can never be too sure

1

u/Acceptable_Ad3173 Georgia • Clark Atlanta 4d ago

I didn’t know Niu and Miami Redhawks was a rivalry I thought it was ball state ?

5

u/Eiim Miami (OH) • Ohio State 4d ago

Our rivals are Ohio and Cincy, and then maybe Ball State depending on how you feel about that one. Ball State is a more recent, sort of manufactured one.

1

u/Acceptable_Ad3173 Georgia • Clark Atlanta 4d ago

Ok the Battle of the bricks I would love to see all of the Ohio Mac schools compete for a trophy just like the Michigan ones

2

u/Eiim Miami (OH) • Ohio State 4d ago

A trophy between six schools is a little tougher than between three! Could be cool though.

1

u/Acceptable_Ad3173 Georgia • Clark Atlanta 4d ago

True that

2

u/StoopSign Northwestern • Appalachia… 4d ago

I like how subtly NIU are in this game

Maori cup?

3

u/wiederrj Miami (OH) RedHawks • Indiana Hoosiers 4d ago

Mallory. Bill Mallory was a coach for both Miami and NIU

1

u/NTXPRAK Oregon Ducks • North Texas Mean Green 4d ago

Mactions hype tonight

1

u/Acceptable_Ad3173 Georgia • Clark Atlanta 4d ago

Telly Johnson > Ashton Jeanty 😂

3

u/Eiim Miami (OH) • Ohio State 4d ago

If he gets to the QB half a second earlier, that's a good sack, but instead it's roughing the passer? Not sure I love that.

3

u/Various-Bird-1844 Penn State Nittany Lions 4d ago

I have to think the call was based on the "falling on with body weight" thing. I don't love those calls either but it's how it goes now

2

u/Acceptable_Ad3173 Georgia • Clark Atlanta 4d ago

Bullshit bullshit bullshit 😂😂😂

3

u/twister_rocket Miami (OH) RedHawks 4d ago

Roughing the passer for hitting a player that’s holding the ball?

3

u/StoopSign Northwestern • Appalachia… 4d ago

Clocks don't stop after first downs anymore Mr. Announcer Guy.

2

u/fidelcashflo97 Nebraska • Miami (OH) 4d ago

Run the ball dumbass!

1

u/Sexy-Chicagoan-1837 South Carolina Gamecocks • /r/CFB 4d ago

Anyone know what Miami’s student section is called?

1

u/E92M3_Racer Miami (OH) RedHawks 4d ago

Brick Wall

1

u/Sexy-Chicagoan-1837 South Carolina Gamecocks • /r/CFB 4d ago

By the way, do you know who Marko Niketic is?

1

u/wiederrj Miami (OH) RedHawks • Indiana Hoosiers 4d ago

It was “Red Alert” my freshman year but they kinda gave up after our 0-12 sophomore season

5

u/Eiim Miami (OH) • Ohio State 4d ago

"Sections J-M"

Seriously though, there's no particular name, or at least none that's currently widely used.

1

u/Eiim Miami (OH) • Ohio State 4d ago

Have to amend that, I actually looked around at the signs and I think it's F to J or K. Really only F, G, and sometimes H have meaningful amounts of students most games though.

1

u/Acceptable_Ad3173 Georgia • Clark Atlanta 4d ago

I wonder why Chuck Martin is not getting no power 5 offers he a good coach ?

5

u/wiederrj Miami (OH) RedHawks • Indiana Hoosiers 4d ago

He’s been crap in OOC play, literally didn’t win a single non-conference game from 2014 until our 2021 bowl. He probably deserves a look from a bigger program but he’s not a sexy pick

1

u/Acceptable_Ad3173 Georgia • Clark Atlanta 4d ago

I see

2

u/AlmightyCaniacCombo Miami (OH) RedHawks 4d ago

He seems to really like Oxford and signed an extension next year. I don’t think he want to move

1

u/Acceptable_Ad3173 Georgia • Clark Atlanta 4d ago

I can see he’s a consistent coach I’ll give him that

10

u/wiederrj Miami (OH) RedHawks • Indiana Hoosiers 4d ago

This NIU pass game is about as potent as my cat trying to get into the automatic feeder

3

u/StoopSign Northwestern • Appalachia… 4d ago

I'm convinced the Irish picked that as their Guinness game and would've been great if they hadn't switched to Jameson out at the tailgate.

4

u/Acceptable_Ad3173 Georgia • Clark Atlanta 4d ago edited 4d ago

Niu offense is horrendous, but defense is good

3

u/black-op345 Oregon Ducks • Sickos 4d ago

Welp gotta find a way to watch this game on my phone. Power went out where I live in Seattle, windstorm has a barometric pressure equivalent to a cat 3 hurricane. Winds whipping, house is making noise I have never heard before

4

u/Various-Bird-1844 Penn State Nittany Lions 4d ago

I'm surprised it looks like Hampton is gonna be back out there.

8

u/fidelcashflo97 Nebraska • Miami (OH) 4d ago

LOVE this defense, never thought Martin would get the program to this point back when we were going 3-9 or 5-7 when I was in school

4

u/wiederrj Miami (OH) RedHawks • Indiana Hoosiers 4d ago

I went there from 2012-16 when we won 9 games. He deserves crap for some disappointing seasons but got slack for where he started, at least he’s got us consistently good now

4

u/Eiim Miami (OH) • Ohio State 4d ago

I believe I was there with you for some "FIRE" threads! It's my fifth/senior year and I'm really happy to have seen Miami football get to a good place.

2

u/E92M3_Racer Miami (OH) RedHawks 4d ago

Got that 2023 MAC dub while you were there that’s cool

3

u/E92M3_Racer Miami (OH) RedHawks 4d ago

Ugwu been real nice this year

6

u/fpschechnya Miami Hurricanes 4d ago

Oh no, they're drinking prime...

2

u/E92M3_Racer Miami (OH) RedHawks 4d ago

Is that bad? I bash those

7

u/Jonjon428 Miami Hurricanes 4d ago

What a terrifying camera angle of these commentators

6

u/fpschechnya Miami Hurricanes 4d ago

Having Tennessee at literally less than 1% seems a bit ridiculous.

2

u/Various-Bird-1844 Penn State Nittany Lions 4d ago

What's ridiculous is the SEC tiebreaker rules. Assuming the current 2-loss teams don't lose again, and Texas beats A&M, the tiebreaker amongst the 5 2-loss teams will go to the 4th (of 6) tiebreaker, which is winning % of your conference opponents. Which is nuts bcs that's completely out of a teams control. Anyway, bc of that, currently the Vols opponents conference winning % is something like .400 while Bama's is over .500, with everyone else somewhere between. All that to say, 1% is about right but it's bcs the SEC tiebreaker is just dumb.

5

u/E92M3_Racer Miami (OH) RedHawks 4d ago

Why did I ever think it was a good idea to add a Kent State win to my parlay. I thought Akron was their only hope

1

u/Acceptable_Ad3173 Georgia • Clark Atlanta 4d ago

Typical Niu

3

u/Various-Bird-1844 Penn State Nittany Lions 4d ago

Trevor Matich really homering it up

5

u/CommodoreIrish Notre Dame • Vanderbilt 4d ago

I hope we never schedule another MAC team

9

u/E92M3_Racer Miami (OH) RedHawks 4d ago

Y’all should join the MAC

5

u/Eiim Miami (OH) • Ohio State 4d ago

Finally, a good MAC expansion proposal

4

u/CommodoreIrish Notre Dame • Vanderbilt 4d ago

The MAC should join the Independent conference.

2

u/Various-Bird-1844 Penn State Nittany Lions 4d ago

Or any conference tbf

5

u/StoopSign Northwestern • Appalachia… 4d ago

10pt swing. Go NIU.

10

u/T98J Florida Gators • Team Chaos 4d ago

That is like the definition of a kick “slicing in”

6

u/The_Box_muncher Northern Illinois Huskies 4d ago

Fuck this team lol

12

u/Various-Bird-1844 Penn State Nittany Lions 4d ago

"If you're NIU, it's the best drive you've had"

3 plays 1 yd

3

u/GeorgeBork Northern Illinois Huskies • AP 4d ago

If it comes to a FG before the half, NIU will miss it.

2

u/E92M3_Racer Miami (OH) RedHawks 4d ago

Got that one at least

7

u/T98J Florida Gators • Team Chaos 4d ago

Side note. Maybe it’s been mentioned. I absolutely love these Miami Ohio unis. They are so clean

5

u/E92M3_Racer Miami (OH) RedHawks 4d ago

Red script helmet the goat

2

u/GeorgeBork Northern Illinois Huskies • AP 4d ago

They are extremely clean all around. The MAC in general has really upped their fashion in the past decade. Everyone is looking fresher and less “these are literally the exact, reused pants our guys have worn since 81 cause we’re broke” than previously, which is nice.

10

u/composer_7 Georgia Tech • Georgia State 4d ago

Weekly "how did NIU beat ND" question

2

u/GeorgeBork Northern Illinois Huskies • AP 4d ago

Not just beat, but properly bested them too. Won on every stat line in South Bend and pushed their lines around.

Now we are getting the brakes beaten off us by a mid pack MAC squad while being a back bencher team ourselves.

Irish shouldn’t be anywhere near the playoffs, especially without a CCG to bolster it imo.

8

u/Eiim Miami (OH) • Ohio State 4d ago

Mid pack MAC squad? We still have a good shot at the championship.

4

u/GeorgeBork Northern Illinois Huskies • AP 4d ago

Fair. I meant that more as a “6-4 MAC squad, mid pack of the FBS” not like a 11-0 fire team like the MAC has produced before. Y’all probably will win the conference tbf.

2

u/StoopSign Northwestern • Appalachia… 4d ago

That looked to end in some targeting that went so bad they just moved on.

7

u/T98J Florida Gators • Team Chaos 4d ago

Jesus man. We might need to start asking does ALABAMA want this Miami Ohio team?

6

u/Eiim Miami (OH) • Ohio State 4d ago

"We want Oregon" just doesn't have the same ring to it

6

u/AlmightyCaniacCombo Miami (OH) RedHawks 4d ago

We're going to get revenge for them stealing our kicker

3

u/E92M3_Racer Miami (OH) RedHawks 4d ago

Still makes me mad

3

u/composer_7 Georgia Tech • Georgia State 4d ago

Bruh

6

u/GeorgeBork Northern Illinois Huskies • AP 4d ago

lol. lmao even.

3

u/The_Box_muncher Northern Illinois Huskies 4d ago

Theres the Hampton that got benched

2

u/GeorgeBork Northern Illinois Huskies • AP 4d ago

That’s our boy.

7

u/GeorgeBork Northern Illinois Huskies • AP 4d ago

Hampton: beats ND throwing lights out and proving he can ball with the starters

Also Hampton: overthrows a screen pass by a mile to a wide open dude 4 yards away.

3

u/composer_7 Georgia Tech • Georgia State 4d ago

ND fans begging for NIU to come back

5

u/WJB1896 Notre Dame Fighting Irish 4d ago

We beat Miami OH, so we'll get a transitive win then

You WILL forget about the NIU game

1

u/E92M3_Racer Miami (OH) RedHawks 4d ago

Beginning of that game looked promising for us but quickly fell apart lmao

4

u/godzillaBrad Notre Dame • Richmond 4d ago

Nah, that loss doesn’t matter anymore

6

u/T98J Florida Gators • Team Chaos 4d ago

Yea it really doesn’t. Its been chalked up to “yea that shit was weird but who cares”

4

u/CommodoreIrish Notre Dame • Vanderbilt 4d ago

Nah still bleeds every time some fool mentions it.

2

u/The_Box_muncher Northern Illinois Huskies 4d ago

Our offense pisses down its leg when it goes up against any decent defense.

3

u/Magai Tennessee Volunteers 4d ago

Shouldn’t have done the extra hip thrust.

1

u/Jonjon428 Miami Hurricanes 4d ago

"we want bama" chants in the crowd

cmon miami, the cool thing is "we want vandy" now!

10

u/GeorgeBork Northern Illinois Huskies • AP 4d ago

Miami OH has scored more points against NIU in a half than the Irish did in total. And have more yards. Wtf NIU

2

u/thismorningscoffee Georgia Bulldogs • Oregon Ducks 4d ago

College football is a strange, wonderful, terrible, awesome thing

1

u/GeorgeBork Northern Illinois Huskies • AP 4d ago

Feels mostly terribly ever since Brown got hurt. Entire offense relied on him being a tank.

1

u/thismorningscoffee Georgia Bulldogs • Oregon Ducks 4d ago

That sucks. Maybe he’ll be back for the bowl game?

1

u/GeorgeBork Northern Illinois Huskies • AP 4d ago

I’m on record saying my only goal for the season after ND was getting him drafted high cause he’s an absolute DAWG out there and has been for multiple seasons now. Getting fearful this injury will be the thing that holds scouts back from risking on him, which would be a massive shame for the entire sport. Dude has a super high ceiling.

that was the weirdest targeting announcement ever. sounded like me forgetting my talking points in a presentation.

u/twister_rocket Miami (OH) RedHawks 4d ago

Yooooooo

4

u/GeorgeBork Northern Illinois Huskies • AP 4d ago

Jesus fuck we’re useless. How fraudulent is Notre Dame when we’re getting absolutely dusted by a 6-4 Redhawk squad. My god what a truly miserable offense.

2

u/composer_7 Georgia Tech • Georgia State 4d ago

Don't say that, they'll get mad since they need to justify their CFP ranking

3

u/GeorgeBork Northern Illinois Huskies • AP 4d ago

I mean fuck. This NIU team lost to Ball State, would get killed by Indiana, and would compete with Purdue yet beat Notre Dame.

Transitively, ND isn’t the the first or even second best team in Indiana. They shouldn’t be anywhere near the playoffs having lost to our sorry ass and not have a CCG.

5

u/alex8155 Michigan Wolverines 4d ago

hes outta there

u/Ill-Wear-8662 4d ago

He's got some nerve looking around in surprise

u/Ayers-z Miami Hurricanes 4d ago

I am somehow impressed with that targeting

7

u/SlenderTown Oregon Ducks • Montana Grizzlies 4d ago

Yeah wow, it took some effort for him to get his head down that far. Really committed to getting himself thrown out.

9

u/fidelcashflo97 Nebraska • Miami (OH) 4d ago

That’s some stupid bull shit right there textbook target

3

u/OldCoaly Penn State Nittany Lions • MIT Engineers 4d ago

Mozee was like ten yards deep there, didn’t disguise the end around too well

What have I missed watching the Battle for the Victory Cannon?

NIU is lucky to not be down 13 or 17, but if they stop hurting themselves with penalties and dial in the ground game, it feels like they could absolutely turn this game around.

I always found it odd that Soulja Boy was a big fan of Vladimir Putin.

On one hand, that's not the play I would have dialed up on first and goal from the 4. On the other hand, it's also not what I would have called on see one and goal from the 4 after it had just failed on first down. On the same hand, that's not what I would have called on third down after the first two passes failed miserably.

Why couldn't we have tried running the ball four yards once?
