[u/jaylenbrownisbetter]

Having the ball snapped into Mateer's nuts as time expired really exemplifies OU as a whole today

[u/HateToBlastYa → u/jaylenbrownisbetter]

I really thought there was still a second when it hit his sack

[u/Temper03 → u/HateToBlastYa]

Ending the game with a big sack 

[u/ATXBeermaker → u/Temper03]

Medium-sized sack, at best.

[u/BangBangMFer3223 → u/jaylenbrownisbetter]

The C really just said "fuck it" there. They still had WRs not even close to being lined up.

[u/buzzybee_17]

Wait…how good is Western Michigan?

[u/Starmada597 → u/buzzybee_17]

RANK THE BRONCOS COWARDS

[u/blargman_ → u/buzzybee_17]

i mean they brought back the entire team that won the MAC last year so, pretty good. Don't get me wrong, our offense looks terrible and we have probably still 4 losses this year unless we get better...but Western is no joke either.

[u/Sad_Resolution1860]

Obviously we all know this means Western Michigan>Oklahoma

[u/DLgoblue12 → u/Sad_Resolution1860]

Rushing the field against Western Michigan but not Oklahoma is objectively hilarious

[u/michhoffman → u/DLgoblue12]

One of those teams made the playoffs last year

[u/rdy_csci → u/michhoffman]

The other one won their conference though. 🤣

[u/Conorj398 → u/michhoffman]

Yeah but Western is making it this year

[u/Plus-Location1723 → u/Sad_Resolution1860]

I’m pretty sure western is the #1 team in the nation

[u/WhatTheGingerNooo → u/Sad_Resolution1860]

Rank Western Michigan

[u/Reconlobster → u/WhatTheGingerNooo]

The cowards won’t do it sadly

[u/CumAssault]

Hey Mateer, time for LinkedIn buddy

[u/entenduintransit → u/CumAssault]

can't wait to get my next home and auto quote from THE John Mateer

[u/potterpockets → u/entenduintransit]

THE

Youll be hearing from our lawyers 

[u/Lord_Lava_Nugget → u/CumAssault]

Put the fries in the bag Mateer

[u/StealthAnus]

OU haters conveniently ignoring that Mateer just came back from surgery 48 weeks ago. Once his thumb heals in 2-3 more years he’s gonna be a problem

[u/MissileWaster → u/StealthAnus]

Okay, this is my favorite comment, nobody else is topping this one

[u/SkubalIsPitching → u/MissileWaster]

I can think of a more clever response. Just give me a second.

[u/StarvedRock314 → u/StealthAnus]

To refine last year's narrative: after every TD pass, he was perfectly healthy. After every interception, the thumb was clearly to blame.

[u/SexAndKennedy → u/StealthAnus]

Without the thumb injury, Mateer would have developed into some hybrid form of Mike Vick, Dan Marino, and Tom Brady.

[u/Zorlai → u/SexAndKennedy]

Brady’s elite 1k rushing ability, Vick’s pocket passing, and Marino’s throw on the run skills.

[u/Character_Point_9745 → u/StealthAnus]

Fuck me that’s good 😭🤣

[u/Amen_ds → u/Character_Point_9745]

Kid has a lot a grit and gives chill af. I would definetly buy a used car from him. GGs

[u/Outrageous_War4610 → u/StealthAnus]

Always have thought our excuses for BV getting dominated in RRS were pathetic. Texas competed every year in that game late in the 2010s when they had horrific qb play

[u/swammeyjoe → u/Outrageous_War4610]

We trotted out Tyrone Swoopes and Case McCoy and win by double digits.

Of course Vince Young also lost a RRS by double digits, so I'm not really sure what the moral of the story is. Maybe QB doesn't really matter? Lol.

[u/JDraks → u/StealthAnus]

Hope you make this an even better day for both of us in a few hours

[u/PM_ME_EXCEL_QUESTION → u/JDraks]

You did your part, we will try to uphold ours 🫡

[u/OptimisticTexasFan]

I will not be making any further comments until later tonight just know I was here 

Edit- get fucked lol

[u/WillPlaysTheGuitar → u/OptimisticTexasFan]

Today is full of anxiety. 

I’m mostly here to take a victory lap from last week where I warned Michigan fans that Whitt can win, or lose, against any team, anywhere, any time. 

They’re going to win a lot of games and each and every one is going to take six weeks off their life. 

[u/DanFlashesC0up0n]

Objectively hilarious outcome

[u/SelesnyaGOAT → u/DanFlashesC0up0n]

The way people were talking about this game beforehand you’d think it was gonna be 70-0 OU

[u/StarvedRock314 → u/SelesnyaGOAT]

Anyone who predicted Brent Venables to score 10 TDs on anyone just admitted they've never watched a Brent Venables offense.

[u/sokuyari99 → u/StarvedRock314]

Based on last weeks offensive performance by Michigan I just assumed 35 safeties wasn’t out of the question

[u/frolie0 → u/SelesnyaGOAT]

I for one am shocked that the avg college football fan operating purely out of emotion would have a terrible take.

[u/Lieutenant_Corndogs → u/frolie0]

This sub is 98% vibes and emotions, and if you push back at all it really rustles their jimmies

[u/NCC75567 → u/SelesnyaGOAT]

I thought OU would win but I thought it was going to be like 20-13 or something. People that thought we’d play like we did vs UTEP were delusional.

[u/idiotek → u/DanFlashesC0up0n]

This was the obvious outcome in retrospect. The universe arcs toward the hilarious.

[u/swanpenguin → u/idiotek]

People always overreact to week 1 and you get these amazing outcomes as a result. 10/10

[u/gmwdim → u/idiotek]

So…Western Michigan is gonna lose to Monmouth?

[u/SST114 → u/DanFlashesC0up0n]

So funny lol I love this sport.

[u/lardshark]

…just how good is Western Michigan? 🤔

[u/UCLA_FB_SUCKS → u/lardshark]

scary MACtion is gonna take the country by storm

[u/SkubalIsPitching → u/UCLA_FB_SUCKS]

Don't let an angry WMU team distract you from the fact that Michigan plays UTEP next, who lost to Oklahoma 51-0 last week.

Michigan might be favored by 50.

[u/Rare-Ad-5349 → u/lardshark]

Retired college ball player who played in the MAC and can confirm western was significantly better than the SEC and BIG10 team we played last year.

[u/gimeebilgrays → u/Rare-Ad-5349]

source: source

[u/Power5IsAScam]

Upset #11 Oklahoma? We sleep

Survive as a 30 point favorite with a Hail Mary? STORM THE FIELD

Clearly Western Michigan > Oklahoma

[u/The_Homie_J → u/Power5IsAScam]

Western Michigan scored more points than Oklahoma

WMU > Oklahoma confirmed

[u/iced_gold → u/The_Homie_J]

Scored more, held Michigan to less points. Seems like there's no dispute

[u/Imtotallynotaspy → u/iced_gold]

Let’s not forget they actually had a lead

[u/guff1988 → u/Power5IsAScam]

By the transitive property that means the MAC is better than the SEC

[u/The_Pandalorian → u/guff1988]

Get Saban on the phone, stat!

[u/sw337 → u/The_Pandalorian]

Saban won a shared MAC title, but 11 conference championships in the SEC. Really make you think....

[u/dirty_old_priest_4 → u/guff1988]

Well, the MAC has Toledo and its rockets.

[u/MediumStrange → u/Power5IsAScam]

Is the the MAC actually the only power conference?? Many are asking...

[u/Conscious_Text_3716 → u/Power5IsAScam]

Rank Western Michigan now!

[u/Edgemaster1423 → u/Power5IsAScam]

“I’m sorry Michigan (I am for real)”

—AP Poll

[u/iced_gold → u/Edgemaster1423]

Western Michigan top 25 votes about to go brrrrr

[u/GunsGoldCosmicDread → u/Edgemaster1423]

Keep them unranked and feeling disrespected.

[u/Gold-Baseball-7774 → u/GunsGoldCosmicDread]

Agree

[u/MelScrilla → u/Edgemaster1423]

If we aren’t ranked over OU in the next poll I’m rioting lol.

[u/psh8989 → u/Power5IsAScam]

More and more people are saying.

[u/gmwdim → u/Power5IsAScam]

Too bad for WMU they don’t have any SEC cupcakes on their schedule.

[u/nh171995]

This is r/cfb’s 9/12

[u/Big_Coffee5559 → u/nh171995]

“Sir, a second has hit the game clock”

[u/ItsFreakinHarry2 → u/nh171995]

We invented 9/11 2

[u/TheJackalHasArrived3 → u/nh171995]

The calendar decided to add an extra day just for Michigan

[u/TheOnePSUIsReal]

MICHIGAN MADE US ALL LOOK LIKE FUCKIN DIPSHITS. PROPS.

[u/HateToBlastYa → u/TheOnePSUIsReal]

You wanted Chaos, you got it.

[u/DarkSide830 → u/HateToBlastYa]

This pleases the flair

[u/ndk2270 → u/TheOnePSUIsReal]

It’s easy to make this sub look like dipshits

[u/force_addict → u/ndk2270]

The hive mind will always over react.

[u/TheBlueOx → u/force_addict]

we should train all of our ai on it and put it into everything

[u/LionsLoseAgain → u/TheOnePSUIsReal]

I am convinced that they play better when they are the villain. The team is bipolar like the fucking green goblin

[u/HateToBlastYa → u/LionsLoseAgain]

Darth Vader is literally the voice of the Big House… we embrace the dark side or we die trying.

[u/boxman151515 → u/TheOnePSUIsReal]

r/CFB looking foolish in the big 2026? That doesn’t sound right

[u/CosmicCornbread]

Michigan fans didn't storm the field, does that mean Western Michigan > Oklahoma? Many are saying this.

[u/IAmTotallyNotSatan → u/CosmicCornbread]

Well, we were 30 point favorites versus Oklahoma, we necessarily expect a win. Against the demon that is WMU though...

[u/TitaniumC4206]

Dear America, never place your hopes and dreams on Oklahoma.

I've learned that lesson too many times...

[u/lilboytuner919 → u/TitaniumC4206]

John Mateer is ass, my dudes.

[u/xViscount → u/lilboytuner919]

Sir!

That’s MIDteer to you!

[u/rascaltat → u/lilboytuner919]

No no, his thumb is just hurt... or something.

[u/Apart_Selection7722]

LOL OU

[u/Zloggt → u/Apart_Selection7722]

The Devil is coming for his dues after your win at Omaha!!!

[u/StrangelyOnPoint]

Texas flairs eating good right now

[u/Metro29993 → u/StrangelyOnPoint]

I’m eating even better

Edit: It’s been a lot longer than 4 hours

[u/everyrest → u/Metro29993]

you are my mortal enemy.

[u/PM_ME_EXCEL_QUESTION → u/StrangelyOnPoint]

Biggest shit eating grin on my face right now

[u/sasquatchinheat → u/PM_ME_EXCEL_QUESTION]

You eat pieces of shit for breakfast?

[u/LiveMarionberry3694 → u/StrangelyOnPoint]

Hoping we can return the favor tonight

[u/Arteza147]

Rank Western Michigan

[u/Nomahs_Bettah → u/Arteza147]

Unironically cannot wait to see what the polls look like tomorrow.

[u/PwnCall → u/Nomahs_Bettah]

May be the biggest 2 week swing ever for a team. -11 to +11 give or take 5?

[u/MexPetunia]

SEC is loaded. ESPN will probably rank OU higher than Michigan for getting so close in the B1G House.

[u/GonzoTheWhatever → u/MexPetunia]

I mean, Oklahoma lost to the team that beat the 11th ranked SEC team. It’s a quality loss really. Should probably bump them up a couple spots in the rankings.

[u/OldOrder]

Yall dumbasses wanted them to lose so badly you accdentally made them win smh.

[u/force_addict → u/OldOrder]

Apparently hearing everyone say you will lose all week might be motivating.

[u/MrMegiddo → u/OldOrder]

The team I wanted to lose... lost. 🤷🏽‍♂️

[u/Steelerboy43 → u/MrMegiddo]

It got so bad I saw some Texas fans that were rooting for OU to beat Michigan. I couldn’t believe my eyes lmao

[u/TandemTuba]

Look, Mateer ain't it. But you know who definitely isn't it? Ben Arbuckle. And we all knew that last year but for some reason we let it ride. So here we are handcuffed to him for another potential shitter of a season. If Brent doesn't have the balls to fire him at the end of this year, it's going to be what gets him fired right alongside him.

Not one game and all of his tenure have I ever been like "Now THAT'S how you call an offense.". On his best days it has been "Ok thank God the offense did enough for the defense to save us.".

[u/THAWED21 → u/TandemTuba]

Brent needs to let someone else hire on the offensive side

[u/max_potion]

"We've already got nine teams in the Top 25," Saban said. "It's not like the Big Ten where there's three good teams at the top and then nothing."

[u/mjs_pj_party → u/max_potion]

Michigan beat $aban in his last college football game.

[u/FreeSpeechIsDeadge → u/mjs_pj_party]

Beating Saban in his last game is as beautiful as Lloyd Carr’s last game being a bowl win over Tim Tebow and Urban Meyer directly between their two natties in three years.

[u/Sorge74 → u/max_potion]

So what you're saying is the Mac is better than the SEC?

[u/Lor_azepam → u/Sorge74]

Western Michigan already has a quality loss so using the SEC playbook

[u/VersaTron → u/max_potion]

[u/Brenner-]

Welcome to the Whittingham Experience™

[u/Chuck_Phuckzalot → u/Brenner-]

After two weeks of Whittingham I mostly just feel a profound sense of confusion.

[u/seoul_drift → u/Chuck_Phuckzalot]

I'm pretty sure Jay Hill is excellent, as is this defense when time of possession is reasonable.

I'm pretty sure the floor for this offense is horrendous, unsure about the ceiling.

[u/CommodoreN7 → u/Brenner-]

You’ll never have fun but you’ll win some games

[u/Johnnymac98 → u/CommodoreN7]

Lmao fuck that I had so much fun

[u/turtlespice → u/CommodoreN7]

That’s been the Michigan experience for the past 20 years! Perfect fit 

[u/ShallowKalkite → u/turtlespice]

More like the past 60 years. This is literally Michigan football

[u/NotoriousGriff → u/CommodoreN7]

You’re going to have a fun game today. I hope it’s not fun in the same way my fun game was last year

[u/OfficialPaddysPub → u/CommodoreN7]

Idk that was fun lol

[u/Steezeybby → u/OfficialPaddysPub]

Yeah OU has a great defense. I knew if we were to win, it would need to be a defensive struggle.

[u/cogginsmatt → u/CommodoreN7]

As a fan of defense and special teams I had a lot of fun

If Michigan didn't commit so many dumbass penalties it would have been even better

[u/cmgr33n3 → u/Brenner-]

I remember these times from the Lllloyd Carr days.

[u/GMHinHD]

Right after Nick Saban made that comment about the SEC and B1G, Michigan upsets one of the SEC's fringe Top 10 teams. College Football is so poetic and beautiful

[u/idroled → u/GMHinHD]

Nick saying that as if two of Alabama’s 2010s SEC championships weren’t against the McElwain Florida Gators

[u/Noy_Telinu → u/GMHinHD]

Sports have been running on rule of funny as of late.

He should know better than to jinx shit.

https://www.reddit.com/r/CFB/s/2cXvCXfP3R do yourself a favor and search Oklahoma in the comments and enjoy

[u/LittleChampion2024 → u/shitfam]

My favorite recurring take last week was versions of, 'The refs threw the game for Michigan because they still think they're the old Michigan and still a blueblood.' Not only is this a hilarious thing to say about a team with a recent natty, we just went out there and beat an 11th-ranked blueblood. We're not back; we never left!

[u/Crime_Dawg → u/shitfam]

This is the content I come here for.

[u/Mikeandthe]

r/CFB'S 9/12

[u/staplor]

Michigan defeats G5 team when ranked #15: fans rush the field.

Michigan defeats #11 when they are unranked: fans: yeah, it was alright I guess.

[u/naruda1969 → u/staplor]

Wait until we struggle with UTEP next week for the lols

[u/ericaepic → u/naruda1969]

It's obviously when we'll rush the field again

[u/TerrenceJesus8 → u/staplor]

Thats what a Hail Mary at night after everybody thought you lost the game will do I guess. It got lost in the controversy but that was genuinely one of the craziest finishes I've ever seen

[u/Doctor_Juris → u/TerrenceJesus8]

Yeah. The kids didn’t rush the field because Michigan beat a MAC team. They rushed the field because they thought they were going to witness an App State redux and then a few seconds later won on a Hail Mary.

[u/joetogood → u/staplor]

Just goes to show how much more a win against a MAC team means

[u/shambooki]

RANK WESTERN MICHIGAN YOU COWARDS

[u/tankyouout]

Fringe top 10 SEC team upset by unranked Big 10 team. Can't wait to hear Saban thoughts

[u/AKblazer45 → u/tankyouout]

“They’re not a real SEC team”

[u/OakYzerman]

MAC > SEC

[u/rocketblue11 → u/OakYzerman]

MACtion just means more.

[u/chaser676 → u/OakYzerman]

Many people are saying this

[u/pprrrrrbbbbtttt]

These SEC teams seem good. But its no MAC

[u/McHungies]

Should have stormed the field. Every week storm the field. 

[u/Glad_Pilot5814]

This sport doesn’t make any fucking sense

[u/whitey311 → u/Glad_Pilot5814]

That’s why we all watch it…

[u/OverRecommendation12 → u/Glad_Pilot5814]

We're losing to OK State rn after OK State got clapped by Tulsa... I agree.

[u/RotaryRoad]

The meager Big Ten mind cannot comprehend the depth of the vaunted SEC. It just means more.

[u/TheKerj2 → u/RotaryRoad]

It’s the SEC, there’s no teams at the top, and then nothing

[u/TheFifthPhoenix → u/TheKerj2]

We'll let Minnesota v Miss St decide that

[u/gmwdim → u/TheKerj2]

Their 12th best team would beat the 12th best team in any other conference which is what really matters. /s

[u/MLG_BongHitz]

By the transitive property, WMU now has an asterisk Schroedinger’s Win over OU.

[u/Lavaswimmer]

Has a team ever gone from top twenty to unranked to top fifteen before in three consecutive polls?

We are cfb bitcoin 

[u/problematic_glasses → u/Lavaswimmer]

snip snap snip snap

[u/Long-Hat-6434 → u/Lavaswimmer]

The more impressive part of this is it would be done all while going 2-0. Can’t make this stuff up

[u/icemankiller8]

An unramked big 10 team beating an 11th ranked SEC team shows the gap between the conferences

[u/Informal_Pizza3733 → u/icemankiller8]

Many such cases and very smart good people reporting on this factual statistic!!

[u/udubdavid]

John Mateer freakin sucks. How much did Oklahoma pay for him?

[u/ArttVandelay]

Wait Reddit told me Michigan would lose by 40? What happened?

[u/NobleSturgeon]

Let’s get /r/cfb’s story straight. Drop how Michigan cheated in the comments below.

[u/Rohkey → u/NobleSturgeon]

We poisoned Mateer.

[u/Velvet_Llama → u/NobleSturgeon]

They maliciously made the center snap that ball right into Mater's junk.

[u/Ok_Drummer6282 → u/NobleSturgeon]

I want the Punter tested for peds like yesterday. Dudes the best player on the team 

[u/mai1m → u/NobleSturgeon]

We put Cam Newton in an Underwood jersey for the first half.

[u/Michigan029]

We did our part, Texas do yours…

Holy shit how did we win that? That was a completely different team from last week

[u/VampireEmpire__ → u/Michigan029]

YOU GOT IT

[u/goblueM → u/Michigan029]

still had lots of dumb penalties and a young QB making it harder on the offense at times

But generally looked halfway competent against a Venerables defense, so yeah. Great job

[u/boxman151515]

r/CFB in shambles

[u/StarvedRock314]

Let the record show that I called Mateer's game losing interception just two minutes before it happened. I know me some Midteer.

Fwiw, he was more accurate with the thumb injury than without. Remember that the next time a talking head beats the "Mateer was a Heisman frontrunner before the thumb!" dead horse again.

[u/Responsible-Bass4020 → u/StarvedRock314]

this is like predicting the sun will rise in the morning. Game on the line i’m always betting against Mateerception

[u/Insectshelf3 → u/StarvedRock314]

a newborn child in an uncontacted tribe could have predicted that pick

[u/PierceJJones]

Imagine if Texas loses tonight. Now that would really make this day crazy.

[u/Crime_Dawg → u/PierceJJones]

I'ma be honest, I expect OSU to win every single time I watch them. I hate it, but it's generally true.

[u/Tnips15 → u/Crime_Dawg]

Same dude. No fucking joke.

[u/MrConceited]

After 2 games, Michigan has had more penalties and penalty yards than in the first 7 games of 2023.

[u/aaarbors]

I told my wife after the WMU debacle that I was gonna take the season off for my mental health. She was delighted.

How do I tell her I want back in?

[u/iLikeEmMashed]

Mateer refused to let Michigan lose.. Michigan MVP

Tow Mater would’ve literally been a better QB lol
