I’ll be there! My friend’s daughter is affiliated with the Penn State women’s volleyball team.

Too many penalties, too many turnovers, Underwood still doesn’t see the entire field, locks on his first read and doesn’t have touch. And the running game, what Michigan has been known for, was virtually non-existent. The defense was good, but they eventually got tired from all the offense’s “3 and outs.”
Time for Tommy Carr, CJ’s brother (ND QB and one of the Heisman favorites), to get his turn. Bryce looks the same as last year.
The MAC - WMU’s conference - has bought the explanation.

Jealous, enjoy!!
Well, UT stunk it up on natl TV. I wish I understood what the coach is thinking when it comes to not playing Ella Swindle, who was our freshman setter when we won the natty. What has she done to keep her off the court? I’ve seen them in person twice now, and they looked amazing; both times were sweeps. But, man, are they inconsistent.

The class or dignity of WMU and the MAC are exemplary.
That’s called - fall in line or lose future big pay days - which is what these games are to the lesser schools.

If that’s truly the case, that they can’t even speak up when faced with a potential injustice related to the game, then they’re (WMU coach, WMU college president, MAC Conference Commissisoner) better people than I am.
In the face of some sort of immoral, unethical, honest mistake or whatever behavior during a competition, I wouldn’t care how much money is at stake, I’m going to express my views “diplomatically.”
But I’m not shutting up.
Well, everyone is a politician. I agree - but if there’s evidence, then why hasn’t the general public seen it?
I don’t think there was any “wrongdoing.” All I was saying is that if there were something untowards or not right, then, even though my university is paid $1.6 Million, I’d personally would say something.

Terrible idea to put a wooden floor in Chicago in early September. Glad they stopped it before someone got hurt.

Then I’ll ask this again? They’ve yet to show what they saw with the clock at :01. They just said -it hit someone - but none of it is apparent on the TV video and the clock hit 0.
But they have games against the Big 10 in four of the next six years. Those are big paydays they don’t want to go away.
It would have been easier if they just knocked the ball down on that last play 
What they shouldve done was put a couple of their TE’s in the end zone. No way those small DBs matched up in size.

Also glad they stopped it. They were able to get the first match complete but the humidity just kept rising. They’ll have to figure out that court technology better before they do that again.
One of the comments in the B1G’s tweet stated that the referee had the game clock reset to 9 seconds two plays earlier. The game clock and stadium clock should have been in sync…adding to the controversy.

I do not understand the controversy regarding the Western Michigan versus University of Michigan ending. We all need to accept that this is a real world matter.
In the real world, long haul truckers keep a second log book, businesses keep a second set of books, and major football conferences keep a second clock. No mystery here.
Just ask Hollywood; major productions almost always toy with retakes and multiple endings depending upon crowd reactions at pre-screenings. Is there anyone who doesn’t recognize that U Michigan/Big Ten & SEC college football games are major productions ? Just consider the number of rehearsals in full costume before each performance.
The Badgers kept up with the Irish for a half. Probably would have had the halftime lead if not for the awful call on the KO fumble – the guy clearly never controlled the ball in bounds. Even the NBC/ND announcers and in-booth ref were baffled by it.
The second half – you can’t toss a pick-6 and beat a good team like ND. It was over after that. The D was terrible in the second stanza.
In my opinion, the turning point in the Wisconsin versus Notre Dame college football game occurred when Mason Posa, #8 Wisconsin linebacker and 4 time high school state wrestling champion, body slammed a Notre Dame running back to the ground well after multiple refs blew their whistles ending the play. Resulted in a 15 yard personal foul penalty against Wisconsin leading to Notre Dame’s first touchdown.
Regardless of that immature action by linebacker Posa, Notre Dame is a second half team so it is likely that ND would have outperformed & outscored Wisconsin in the second half.
Interesting to note, that, based upon Mason Posa’s first year playing for Wisconsin at linebacker last season, that the Notre Dame Head football coach Marcus Freeman remarked that Mason Posa was among the best college football linebackers that he had ever seen.
What may not be a penalty in wrestling, can easily qualify as a personal foul, a major penalty, in football whether college or professional. Mason Posa, whose dad wrestled at U Oklahoma --a major college wrestling powerhouse,should have known better.
Mason Posa’s NIL value is about $432,000 per season.
Notre Dame is at the top of their game,while Wisconsin is in a rebuilding year.
Mason Posa’saction reveals a problem in modern college football–how to discipline a star player for a childish action that resulted in a costly penalty to the team. Harsh discipline might lead a star player to demand to be put in the transfer portal.
I thought it was more of a drop than a body slam – but picking him up was enough for the flag. But ND shouldn’t have had the ball there in the first place.
The rest I agree with.
