That coach interview was beyond embarrassing.  What a low class loser.  For pretend crying and dropping F-Bombs?

Good grief.

  • No wonder Michigan got its ass kicked by TCU last season. Probably the first offense they saw all season that didn't run it between the tackles 80% of the game. 

  • Fuck urban and everything but no wonder he wrecked shop in this conference. They must have thought he was a sorcerer or from outer space or something.

Fake ass coach crying. Harbaugh dead?
Whole team playing the victim.

Yep. Momentum is the most important thing at that point. Fuck the numbers. 

I could see going for 2 if there were four minutes or so left in the game because then you might have a shot at getting two more possessions.  In this case, no.

That was the most forced crying I’ve ever seen

Yup

Not that they had a chance but why go for 2 and end all hope if you fail instead of taking the extra point and only be down by 8 in a one possession game?

Some bullshit about knowing how many possessions you need.

Michigan by 17+

Meh, I didn't foresee Michigan taking PSU's offensive ineptitude as a challenge to be matched

Going for two in the first half is a good way to know you need more possessions.

A lot of the “go for 2” analytics started looking bad once more teams actually tried it, same for onside kicks. Going for it on 4th has held up.

One of the dumber quotes. You can fumble and actually lose yardage running the ball as well.

Because it's not a one possession game if you miss the 2 point conversion at the end of the game. It's a 2 possession game you just don't know it yet and then you don't have enough time to even try to do anything about it. ClubWhatever's sarcastic response shows the logical failure of his preferred strategy. He assumes you are right that it's a one possession game when it's an 8 point margin and scoffs at the fact you don't know how many possessions you need until you attempt the 2 point conversion.

As most of the people who are wrong about this do, you are comparing missing the 2 point conversion after the first TD with making it after the second. Obviously it's better to successfully convert it. Now compare being successful after the first TD with missing it after the second.

Are we sure this game was real? 
 

It looks like those stop-action claymation movies I saw as a kid.  Davy and Goliath.

Mike Tomlin used to go for 2 a lot on his first td of the game, when he had the offense to do it. If you have an offense that can convert 2 yards more often than not, then sure, go for it. But if you can’t, the analytics break down.

What does this even mean

kick the XP. It’s a one possession game. It can be tied in one possession. When the opponent gets the ball back they now need to think about play calling, risking a pass to try and get a first down to keep the ball away from you, etc. You go for 2 and don’t get it, now your opponent knows to just run the clock. Also since your players are human they lose inspiration knowing how low the odds of getting 2 more possessions are.

Well when you throw 8 passes it's hard to score enough points to win by 17 and I don't think anyone saw that trainwreck coming

It's pretty obvious. It's not a known one possession game. It is either a one or two possession game depending on the result of the two point conversion attempt.

This is a complete lack of situational awareness about the game. Penn State was going to attempt an onside kick either way. If Michigan got the ball back they were running three times to get first downs. Everyone understands this in that game situation. The only difference is that if Penn State goes for 2 after the first touchdown they now know if the onside kick is successful if they need to score once or twice. This is the critical piece of information.

As opposed to losing inspiration when they fail to convert the 2 point conversion with 3 seconds left and have lost the game? If a coach has done his job and explained things to his players this isn't an issue either way. They're prepared to react to the result of the conversion. Either way this entire argument is so absurd. Oh no they'll be sad with two minutes left instead of being sad with no time left. Either way they've lost, who gives a shit? I found out I lost later in the game! Woohoo, that's gotta be worth something in the standings!

So Michigan:

1. Cheated

2. Got caught

3. Wants to play the role of victim

 

Fuck these clowns

Not so much FOR them, just AGAINST the Ann Arbor Astros. 

Michigan gets caugh cheating during the current season, then wanna whine about "us vs everybody" like they're the victims in all this. Get fucked. Don't fuck around if you don't want to find out.

Fuck UM. You know these coaches have screamed about accountability and owning up to your actions. Then, when it comes for them, they’ll play the victim and whine. Coward shit.

Or they could, you know, just kick the XP and know they need to score once before even attempting the onside kick.
