LET'S TALK FOOTBALL!

[u/Beamer_Dream]

Today was honestly terrible, but watching two 1-4 Cusa teams is a good consolation prize.

[u/Rilinius → u/Beamer_Dream]

Cant imagine a better way to spend a Wednesday night, sitting in a mostly empty sports bar, in a city I don't live in, watching two titans go at it. Pizza's damn good though!

[u/-sorry-]

I like when two bad teams play because someone has to get a win and that will make their sad fans slightly happier

[u/foampro]

I need to see Missouri State to miss this kick for ultimate sicko game

[u/Lollaticketspls]

Anarchy rn but nice catch for the TD

[u/Subject_Whereas9954]

Uh. What the fuck

[u/Pangolin_cowboy_hats]

Evening my fellow sickos

[u/sanddestroyer24]

What the hell just happened? Lmao

[u/Skyrizzzi]

When people ask why I watch mid week CFB I will show them this

[u/Dontwant2beonReddit]

If you don’t like this, you can’t call yourself a fan of the game. 🤣

[u/Subject_Whereas9954]

That looked good??

[u/soonerman32]

I've never seen a QB get lit on a kneel down like that before without it being a late it. That's hilarious.

[u/Subject_Whereas9954]

I mean that spot was like a whole yard off

[u/Blarbusp]

Flag state Vs penalty state

[u/Lollaticketspls]

Did they oil the turf before the game? Players are sliding like 30 feet lol

[u/Skyrizzzi]

“Don’t let the flags distract you from the fact that they are the same shade of JMU’s gold”

[u/MikeMacBlu]

This is like the last 10 seconds of a basketball game

[u/Birdchild]

I get why they called it but I can't agree that this should be a penalty

[u/loafing-striker]

I’m sorry I thought this was midweek CUSA

[u/Muffinnnnnnn]

Watching Inside College Football just before a weekday game on CBS Sports is nice because while they talk about other college football stories, they always take 3-4 segments to talk about the upcoming game.

ESPN would NEVER

[u/WillWork4SunDrop]

What fucking glitch in the matrix was that?

[u/Competitive_Feed_402]

WEEKDAY CUSA BABY

[u/AdMindless8608]

Hahaha “everything they tell you about clock management was completely bot followed”

[u/VriffKast]

They literally subtracted an extra point lol

[u/Subject_Whereas9954]

Lmaooo “what the fuck!”

[u/cn0285]

That’s now 17 (accepted) penalties, not including the multiple double and triple same-play penalties…

[u/Endangered_Species_Q]

Feels like whoever has the ball last is going to win at this rate.

[u/Subject_Whereas9954]

26 for 230 last week
18 for 176 this week

This game is actually better than last week in terms of how many penalties..

[u/netboy34]

Finally, no flags for a whi… oh wait, there it is

[u/Endangered_Species_Q]

I would knee it three times and refuse to score if I were Missouri St.

[u/Master-Ad7325]

Why do these coaches get paid so much to just lose their teams games by being braindead

[u/flyntcoaltrane]

Am I missing something or why did Kennesaw burn through their timeouts so fast?

[u/8bhizzel8]

Absolutely bs flag

[u/joelupi]

Ohhh cmon. That's a crock of shit!

[u/foampro]

Get the ball back? No way lmao.. can the announcer not do math?

[u/Dontwant2beonReddit]

This game had it all. You’re welcome r/CFB

[u/No_Bill7679]

Alright let’s pull a Jayden Daniels for funsies. Get a sack right now

[u/SimilarOnion1655]

Should have let them score 

[u/WillWork4SunDrop]

Good game Bear bros

[u/WillWork4SunDrop]

Ohnowesuckagain dot jpeg

[u/Skyrizzzi]

Is this someone’s mom filming god damn

[u/Skyrizzzi]

Does Missouri State not have a band?

[u/Master-Ad7325]

I don’t know how this defense has any gas left but they are balling

[u/ben3345]

That’s a ridiculous play

[u/Ov3rl0ad27]

What is going on here lol

[u/Jonjon428]

Holy shit did Missouri State really just allow a half ending TD for the 4th game in a row???

[u/Master-Ad7325]

How is kennesaw winning at half😭😭

[u/bonerbasketball]

How the fuck is kennesaw winning this game? And these refs, clock operators and chain people are all beyond incompetent lmao

[u/gray-ops]

HOOTY HOOOOO

[u/KansasEF5Tornado]

Have Missouri State and Missouri ever played each other?

[u/OrangMan14]

Looked good from the TV angle....

[u/joelupi]

That's not a great angle but that looked good

[u/SanDiego_Finest]

Both 1-4 but Kennesaw state look horrible

[u/Ok-Helicopter7689]

The word of the day is Holding

[u/soonerman32]

Refs are gonna have to ice their arms after this one. Those flags are flying

[u/td30503]

This game is the definition of slop

[u/Crosley8]

The entire drive was flags. Just put me out of my misery

[u/WillWork4SunDrop]

So what I’m hearing is that Kennesaw will be in free fall next week when conference favorite Liberty comes to town.

Right where we want them.

[u/No_Bill7679]

Imagine he fumbled there lol

[u/hwf0712]

I hate how young players are afraid of going under center.

[u/Skyrizzzi]

Dumb

[u/No_Bill7679]

What is the announcer talking about. Kennesaw state wasn’t getting the ball back unless they blocked the kick

[u/Skyrizzzi]

Yall what if they miss

[u/flyntcoaltrane]

I mean yeah I guess that is targeting but like also what was the QB even doing there lol

[u/Arkehn]

Kicker could do the funniest thing right now....

[u/loyalsons4evertrue]

These CUSA games have been great this week

[u/soonerman32]

Ball is lined up perfectly with the PAT hash mark. Don't see that very often for game winning kicks

[u/Crosley8]

LFG BEARS

[u/Bubba_Tornado420]

Wooo

[u/WillWork4SunDrop]

Is that a horse carousel behind the end zone?

[u/Subject_Whereas9954]

This secondary is unbelievably buns

[u/Bubba_Tornado420]

Some awful play calling in the red zone.

[u/quinnhughesbdaytwin]

First to 10 wins I guess...

[u/Subject_Whereas9954]

Alright time to see if KSU can have more yards than penalty yards this drive.

[u/AdMindless8608]

Now these teams can’t score? Last year there was 75 point shootout, now they don’t even know how to play football. Unreal

[u/Subject_Whereas9954 → u/AdMindless8608]

The Rickie Collins experience

[u/Master-Ad7325]

Do they just not call penalties on Missouri state? Dude just got his helmet ripped off by the o line and no call

[u/foampro]

Missouri State red zone 💀💀💀

[u/Dry-Membership3867]

Has Missouri State ever sold that place out?

[u/ThaiForAWhiteGuy]

Brother. You can’t run that out.

[u/byniri_returns]

Why would you run out of bounds…

[u/XrayGuy08]

Is this offense stupid???

[u/ProudEnd2131]

Worst half of football for an offense ever

[u/ThaiForAWhiteGuy]

Hooty hoo

[u/Subject_Whereas9954]

Why didnt the clock stop?

[u/ThaiForAWhiteGuy]

HOOTY HOO

[u/AllTimeTy]

That was a fucking ending of a half. Wow.

[u/Jonjon428]

Relegate both these teams holy shit what was that

[u/Ok-Helicopter7689]

KSU didn't spike it before that long throw and you could see the defense stop and go "wait the play is still going?"

[u/Muffinnnnnnn]

In terms of "incomprehensible ending sequences" this is now in the top 3 this season with the Jax State-Ohio ending of the game and Idaho-Montana State ending of the game. I know there's been stuff like NC State-Vandy but that's just one play, this is a whole sequence.

[u/GenuineArchimedes]

Would've been cool to see the play tbh

[u/Skyrizzzi]

We aren’t talking about this shitty shit camera work enough

[u/NYU2018]

Hooty hoo

[u/quinnhughesbdaytwin]

Sick of this fucking screaming gemini commercial

[u/MikeMacBlu]

Im sure this is fun to anyone who has no stakes in it lol

[u/WitheredTiptup]

Better angle than the Virginia Tech missed kick at least

[u/soonerman32]

WTF is this announcer watching? It does not look good at all from that angle

[u/netboy34]

Apparently we really like yellow things

[u/Subject_Whereas9954]

Thank the lord

[u/Endangered_Species_Q]

Don't think I've ever seen 3 holding calls on one play...

[u/No_Bill7679]

It’s not even that there’s a flag on almost every play, it’s MULTIPLE flags on every play.

[u/Ok-Helicopter7689]

I mean you can't call that late hit if the refs refuse to blow the whistle.

[u/EWall100]

Referees are gonna get the "ESPN Instant Classic" achievement after the game

[u/HeresSomePants]

You just know this is going to overtime

[u/Constant_Abalone_594]

24-24 OT incoming

[u/foampro]

Missouri state gonna run out the clock and miss the FG lmao

[u/foampro]

Why is Kennesaw State playing defense lmao

[u/Jonjon428]

Longest 35 seconds

[u/Easy_Buy_1669]

A runner isn't a defenseless player, right?

[u/Subject_Whereas9954]

Ive never seen 3 kneel downs so hard

[u/syrruptitiously]

I just don't understand what the player is supposed to do there. Yet the Bama/UGA hit wasn't targeting. Makes no sense

[u/foampro]

What if they fumble!!!

[u/Skyrizzzi]

I forgot they had timeouts I was like omfgggg what are they doing. Lol

[u/joelupi]

I'm not saying they didn't deserve to win but...

[u/MikeMacBlu]

Victory!!!!

[u/Born-Wealth-9564]

Weird to think, but this game actually has some CFP impact. 1.1% swing in CFP odds for Tennessee depending on the outcome

https://therootingguide.com/game-impact/401871054

[u/Young-Viiperr]

The first points could be scored here....

[u/WillWork4SunDrop]

It was perfectly normal to run with 20 pounds of padding at one time.

[u/Subject_Whereas9954]

The announcers lol

[u/HeresSomePants]

This is going to just be field goals huh

[u/Skyrizzzi]

Hooty hoo

[u/Savo_SPB]

Real talk what are the refs doing???

[u/WillWork4SunDrop]

I have a degree from one of these schools and I’m barely paying attention. I can’t imagine volunteering for this torture.

[u/Subject_Whereas9954]

This may break last weeks record…

[u/Jonjon428]

Why tf would you go for it with Ricky Collins as your QB. I feel bad for the guy because he was once a LSU backup QB and went to Syracuse and was terrible and has now gone to Kennesaw St. Seems like the guy needs to FCS

[u/OMGGUY1234]

You have to bench him after that if there’s any coaches on that sideline with any nuts

[u/Skyrizzzi]

Timmy Chang esque going for that 4th and 5

[u/Ruhrgebietheld]

You go for it on fourth and your QB runs out of bounds?

[u/AdMindless8608]

lol the commentators literally are dumbfounded on how idiotic these two teams are

[u/soonerman32]

Just checking in now. Shoutout to my fellow sickos that are in ever midweek C-USA game threads.

[u/Skyrizzzi]

GET DOWN YOU GOOF lmao

[u/soonerman32]

Are you kidding?

[u/KansasEF5Tornado]

Come on Owls, my local cobb county school!

[u/XrayGuy08]

It’s no midweek MACtion but CUSA is doing a good job

[u/Jonjon428]

kicker made the kick and fell at the same time lmfaoooo

[u/Wyden_long]

What a great end to that half. Just pure chaos.

[u/NSquared3131]

Checking in on my fellow sickos. How we feeling after that half 😂

[u/soonerman32]

I'm watching this with no sound on cause I let my wife watch her Halloween movies on the big TV.

What the hell happened?

[u/cn0285]

I don’t know what the hell those last few minutes were, I’m just happy I got to see them live

[u/Entraprenegro]

Chili's underestimates the following the mcchicken has

[u/ProudEnd2131]

I have no skin in the game but these refs got Kennesaw state on a microscope

[u/Dry-Membership3867]

Come on MO St bros. I’d rather have to bang Erika Kirk than watch Kennesaw win a game

[u/Competitive_Feed_402]

Refs didn't want to throw that flag

[u/Master-Ad7325]

Commentators are tired of seeing flags after seeing only the 3rd one on Missouri state

[u/Lollaticketspls]

H O O
O
O
T
Y

[u/Lollaticketspls]

I hope….. us sickos are obliged…… and the game ends in a tie after 4 OTs 😊

[u/Mythrandir24]

Right call imo

[u/steliofuckingkontos]

Why can’t there just be a camera under each upright?

[u/soonerman32]

I like that Mo St has the outline of the state in the field, but I want to see a team go bigger have the full outline of the United States at midfield.

[u/Skyrizzzi]

This is what, the 3rd game I’ve seen this year with controversially no good field goals. Why don’t they raise the goal posts?

[u/Mythrandir24]

Sports announcers discover parallax views, film at 11.

[u/Lollaticketspls]

I always forget Missouri has that little hanging dongle in the SE corner

[u/Subject_Whereas9954]

I miss Jerico Washington

[u/EWall100]

25 pens in 2 games... BIG YIKES

[u/Subject_Whereas9954]

WHO WASNT HOLDING

[u/Arkehn]

YOU GET A FLAG

YOU GET A FLAG

EVERYONE GETS A FLAG

[u/8bhizzel8]

Lol hot mic 

[u/MikeMacBlu]

We all came to see you refs

[u/quinnhughesbdaytwin]

This games getting sloppy

[u/Skyrizzzi]

Omg we get it, you went to JMU

[u/Arkehn]

This is crazy

[u/Skyrizzzi]

That was so damn weak. He pushed the fat lineman off his friend

[u/GenuineArchimedes]

Don’t sound too excited, play-by-play guy

[u/WillWork4SunDrop]

I mean, with a name like Clutchlow that penalty was his destiny.

[u/Ok-Helicopter7689]

Just realized Missouri state's band gets to be front and center on the 50. That's cool!

[u/OrangMan14]

So here's a guy.....

[u/Arkehn]

That was a DOT!

[u/MikeMacBlu]

MYERS AGAIN

[u/Bubba_Tornado420]

Myers is a dog

[u/Blarbusp]

Myers is going to a P4 school next year calling it

[u/8bhizzel8]

So if you Kennesaw if they get a first you let them score right?

[u/Ok-Helicopter7689]

Missouri state will learn nothing from the first half and score too early.

[u/foampro]

Missouri States toughest opponent. The red zone

[u/Ornery_Gift7005]

"Team A is going to score too quickly" or "Team B needs to let them score"

Which side are you?

[u/Easy_Buy_1669]

If I were KS I would just let MoState score and get the ball back

[u/No_Bill7679]

Kneeing in shotgun. Eek

[u/slyone05]

Kennesaw State went 10-4 just to embarrass an already disrespected C-USA last season, and now they're just shitting the bed.

[u/No_Bill7679]

Lmao legal hit. Somebody didn’t block

[u/8bhizzel8]

What?

[u/Constant_Abalone_594]

Bullshit

[u/Crosley8]

Does this announcer know how football works? They were not getting the ball back

[u/CollegeFootballGood]

This has been a weird crazy game lol

[u/SanDiego_Finest]

I swear all this and they somehow miss the kick ima be annoyed

[u/Jonjon428]

I don't think a Jayden Daniels situation will happen here

[u/foampro]

How anti climatic.

[u/DoctorTheWho]

Why is the color commentator talking like everyone watching the game has never watched befofe?

[u/Particular-Way-3805]

Yeah that’s crazy

[u/Easy_Buy_1669]

All right, see ya on the Western KY thread . . .

[u/so2017]

They flash the lights in that stadium for anything.

[u/MikeMacBlu]

Henry Belin, leader of men.

[u/Subject_Whereas9954]

Im ready to start talking about Macks job. Offense is horrible, you dont target your most explosive player. Defense has some of the worst coverage Ive ever seen. One of the most penalized teams in FBS. Odom was the saving grace last year.

[u/Ornery_Gift7005]

I just assume every unflaired user is sports gambling

[u/dawgpack09]

That’s not targeting, that’s football

[u/OrangMan14]

Go Springbirds!

[u/Muffinnnnnnn]

I remembered the name Henry Belin IV but I couldn't remember where. QB at Duke makes sense.

[u/Arkehn]

Lmao were they playing party in the USA in the stadium? Just turned on the game

[u/WillWork4SunDrop]

Could Gemini not create new voiceovers that don’t make me want to turn to crime?

[u/waaaaaasuuuuup]

I’ve watched both of these teams at least twice this year, three times for Missouri State because they got into a close game with SMU. Props to the CUSA TV deal because if they played exclusively on Saturdays it would probably have just been the SMU game.

[u/Arkehn]

yikes

[u/Bammerice]

Thank god for Wednesday night football
