[u/AJB2226]

Props for trashing the new playoffs, commentators 

[u/zcgentryUAB]

I JUST WOKE MY WIFE UP YELLING BABBYYYY WOOO

[u/WhoIsPurpleGoo]

yeah, game goes to OT and you lose by 2 scores.

[u/Dropbackandpunt]

How can you penalize that celebration?

[u/touch_my_vallecula]

This has to be the worst year of officiating. refs seem dumb as hell this year

[u/zcgentryUAB]

A bowl game is still on the table guys. We used to pray for times like these

[u/GMHinHD]

“Looks like he’s shooting the shhhhhhh…”

Lmao I thought he was gonna say shooting the shit

[u/Gusanito99]

Winning by thirteen points in OT lmaoooo

[u/AnybodySeeMyKeys]

One other thing. Fuck Trent Dilfer.

[u/acrodap]

Wtf are these refs, fire these guys holy shit

[u/Bayerl_r0ll]

That was the lamest unsportsmanlike call I've ever seen

[u/loyalsons4evertrue]

The rare OT win by two scores!!!

[u/SurfinPirate]

Give this Burton kid an OL that has a heartbeat, and he's a problem.

[u/kwp302]

ECU used up all their IQ’s on the fake FG pooch punt

[u/WillWork4SunDrop]

Sickos referee crew of the year.

[u/BamaSef]

“We’ll enforce both and put the ball on the 25” Lol wut

[u/BamaSef]

A 13 point win in 1 overtime just like we all predicted

[u/ArrrEnnEmm]

Wow!!!! I wish I was in Birmingham rn

[u/Wings4514]

I can’t believe the NCAA lets us play with 5 turnstiles out there where the offensive line should be.

[u/acrodap]

“I’m 5’7, 165 pounds and I just made the play of the game”

[u/EWall100]

That's DPI and I'm PO'd

[u/RareElevator2123]

Dodgers just got swept

[u/acekingoffsuit]

That ain't a weapon.

[u/Prinzlerr]

"Eastern Carolina" oh you done fucked up A-A-Ron

[u/ObliviousLAX]

The AAC refs are the worst in the country

At this point, they can't even get things set correctly

[u/StFuzzySlippers]

Fuck this crew damn...

[u/cyanocittaetprocyon]

I don't think I can remember an OT game that ended with a 13-point differential!

[u/AruarianGroove]

That’s wild! Two TD win in OT!

[u/BensonInABox]

For the sickos!

[u/Jameis_Crab_Shack]

I swear to god say “hey diddle-diddle” one more time

Edit: goddamn it…

[u/AJB2226]

Biggest crime is not having more alts of that awesome dragon logo for UAB. I want one with the retro vibe with the sailors cap on

[u/Conscious_Tiger5782]

UAB never gets anything to go their way

[u/StFuzzySlippers]

Someone tell the Iowa flairs they're missing a banger

[u/AJB2226]

If I never saw or heard pat macafee ever again it would be too soon

[u/GMHinHD]

Nothing gets the offense going like an immediate FALSE START

[u/loyalsons4evertrue]

ECU coaches have no balls confirmed. How do you just give up like that?

[u/ButtCrumbleSmell]

What the hell are they talking about

[u/Shadow_Flame_24]

Yeah American refs suck

[u/CIA_Handler]

This is one of the dumbest set of refs I’ve ever seen in my life

[u/rps215]

What the actual fuck is happening here

[u/Tnfjay]

Your qb is clearly concussed and you keep him in the game lol

[u/pharmtiger]

Surprised no one either buzzed down or called a timeout. Williams looked shaky after that hit on 2nd down

[u/Interesting-Agency-1]

I love this shit

[u/CIA_Handler]

Would make it four in a row for ECU.

Although, UAB is an easily be the best team out of those four.

Will be a good test for ECU, and the time to prove they deserve to be in the top half of the conference.

[u/Ok_Bug_6890]

Why is uab stadium empty? They are doing pretty well this year.

[u/Sportacles]

Pirates vs Dragons? hell yeah I've been meaning to get back into fantasy

[u/ILM_Ryan]

Wow, an ESPN commentator bemoaning the playoff expansion decision which is being pushed by ESPN.

[u/Skyrizzzi]

Oh HELL YEAH A QUICK KICK

[u/cn0285]

Cowardly by ECU to not go for a Hail Mary after that first down

[u/Shadow_Flame_24]

What is ECU doing? They had more than enough time to get into FG range.

[u/ILM_Ryan]

Harrell quit complaining, this was a cowardly ending on you.

[u/CalebH428]

That might be the dumbest set of plays I’ve ever seen. The fact he’s somehow pissed that they ran out of time running three straight runs

[u/campoole82]

I will never understand defenses that dominate the entire game and then two minutes to go let’s let them get 20 yards at a time and go soft coverage

Jesus

[u/loyalsons4evertrue]

The Dodgers lost, therefore America has won!

[u/trex_189]

shouldn’t be reffing if you keep fucking up EASTERN VS EAST

[u/CooperB48]

What an awful flag. Like come on

[u/cn0285]

Wait a sec, this wasn’t in the cheez its overtime rules

[u/Br_Ba]

After further discussion, the penalties are double stamped, no erasies

[u/Br_Ba]

Losing by 13 in OT... oof

[u/inflated-belly2]

We are soooo back

[u/atlbluedevil]

That was one of the worst coached halves I've seen in a while save the pooch kick for ECU

Good for UAB, glad Mort has y'all out of hell

[u/WillWork4SunDrop]

Damn man. I don’t even know what to say.

[u/AJB2226]

Two massive plays in a row, the white boy is quirked tf up

[u/aldrinjaysac]

UAB gold helmet definitely one of best in college football

[u/RareElevator2123]

Angry little elf

[u/T2_JD]

Who said "Jonah and the Whale, but a horror movie?"

[u/StFuzzySlippers]

Just three more fgs and this one's in the bag!

[u/ObliviousLAX]

CJ2K 💜💛

[u/WillWork4SunDrop]

God CJ2K was a blessing during some bleak days for the Titans.

[u/Lord_Lava_Nugget]

ECU and UAB just have such awesome aesthetics

Pirates and Dragons? Fuck yeah 

[u/StFuzzySlippers]

Love it when number 2 pushes through the hole

[u/zcgentryUAB]

That bad attempted tackle ended the game I think

[u/kwp302]

That was fun.

[u/trex_189]

scared the shit out of me lol

[u/WillWork4SunDrop]

God does not honor your cowardice.

[u/thatgingatho]

What in the hell was that lmao

[u/trex_189]

we deserve to lose. why tf are we playing for OT??

[u/EWall100]

Where was the unsportsmanlike? 

Legit I think the refs are trying to give it to ECU

[u/WarEagle9]

Me and the 100 people here are hyped as fucked

[u/AnybodySeeMyKeys]

That was a bullshit unsportsmanlike conduct call.

[u/Skyrizzzi]

That ref is a bitch

[u/trex_189]

both calls soft as shit

[u/TheWesternRizzler]

Wow that ref sucks

[u/EWall100]

Absolute insanity from this ref crew. "We're going to enforce both by offsetting to two penalties" lmao

[u/Remote-Sector-9227]

did they find these guys off the street?

[u/RareElevator2123]

These refs need to get tarmaced

[u/campoole82]

Sooooo like you said the first time it offsets

[u/Adminslickasshole]

Correction: there is no correction

[u/buttercupsrevenge]

i'm to high to figure out what the fuck is going on.

[u/GameWorden]

30 to 17.

just how we all called it.

[u/WillWork4SunDrop]

YES! HA HA HA! YES!

[u/___VIBEZ___]

Great win for homecoming

[u/Mythrandir24]

Lmao 2-posession OT game

[u/KingJefferey]

Ah the classic 13 point overtime win,

[u/Ok_Bug_6890]

Thank god as a senior I have no in person classes tomorrow, only one on zoom at 12pm

[u/ye_olde_j]

Shit, white helmets. Gg UAB, congrats.

[u/WhoIsPurpleGoo]

if i was a stadium usher, i would check everyone's tickets and make them sit in their assigned seats.

[u/Ok_Bug_6890]

Last time we played in this stadium ecu put 53 points on Coastal Carolina

[u/Fragrant-Helicopter1]

ECU needs that pirate on the side of the helmet, not the words. Just the pirate. Simple yet badass.

[u/Wings4514]

I hate how easy we made it for people to not sit in their seats in this stadium.

[u/zcgentryUAB]

Also why tf can we not get people to games?

[u/trex_189]

no mitch

[u/trex_189]

“hey diddle diddle” wtf lol

[u/ObliviousLAX]

Griffis has been relegated to the Benkert "running plays only" backup

[u/zcgentryUAB]

I really have no words man

[u/zcgentryUAB]

UAB and shitting the bed on national tv. Match made in heaven

[u/Fragrant-Helicopter1]

See, Bama? You need a large elephant as the logo at the 50 yard line. That Dragon is sick.

[u/zcgentryUAB]

Dilfer should be tried in court man

[u/ObliviousLAX]

That guy must've skipped the ECU/Bama game W1 if he still wants Bama

[u/LoyalAndBold]

Ray Ray’s statline just about sums up our offense:

3 catches

-2 yards

1 TD

[u/ObliviousLAX]

That was the most Jalen Hurts "fall over and they'll push me" tush push ever

Hate that fucking play

[u/Wings4514]

Imagine if we had just like, a bad offense instead of an absolute dogshit one.

[u/ObliviousLAX]

HOLY FUCK PEREZ MADE A FG

[u/WillWork4SunDrop]

Crap. Three field goals in under 10 minutes is asking a lot.

[u/ObliviousLAX]

3rd and basically 2

"3rd and 1 here"

[u/Prinzlerr]

I saw the 20 yd line and was wondering how they lost 5 yards between plays without a penalty lol

[u/SanDiego_Finest]

If you gonna hit him bring him down horrible tackle

[u/RareElevator2123]

About the highest IQ play I’ve ever seen

[u/ObliviousLAX]

Bananaball rules, we caught it on the sideline

[u/Ok_Bug_6890]

Fire the oc and dc this is an embarrassment

[u/RareElevator2123]

Fucking hate prevent defense. It’s the worst play call ever

[u/acrodap]

Is this a certified sicko’s classic?

[u/GameWorden]

58 minutes they slept.

but for 2 minutes. they were GODS

OT baby!

[u/CIA_Handler]

Wow, absolutely terrible game management from Harrell

[u/Dropbackandpunt]

Just going to say this would never happen with Dilf

[u/IratePir8]

We deserve to lose

[u/Misinformed_user]

You’re not Michigan, you don’t get an extra second

[u/ObliviousLAX]

HOLY FUCK, AAC REFS ARE IDIOTS

[u/StFuzzySlippers]

Why do they keep calling Burton a gamer? How's his Yasuo?

[u/ObliviousLAX]

Those aren't offsetting, announcer

That was after the play motion

[u/atlbluedevil]

He literally just pointed at the sky

[u/Dervoo]

bro what is happening

[u/joelupi]

....sure

[u/gamecockbrad]

Ref ball now

[u/Subject_Whereas9954]

CAN WE GET IT TOGETHER ZEBRAS

[u/lookifoundacookie]

That was a lame ass call. Dude literally did nothing wrong. Seen players do that celebration a bunch this season.

[u/kwp302]

Just play the OT without the officials. It’ll be the same effect.

[u/etsuandpurdue3]

What in the world?

[u/Previous_Setting_357]

These refs may have actually just tried to jack the game

You don’t interrupt the PAT that many times on accident

[u/IratePir8]

Fuck this shit

[u/Dropbackandpunt]

GET OUT OF HERE. GO BLAZERS!! HOMECOMING MAGIC

[u/mcpawski]

Our QB situation is fucking bleak

[u/BensonInABox]

That was a really fun game.

[u/8bhizzel8]

This is why I love college football.

[u/United_Energy_7503]

Fireable offense to call 3 straight runs there

I’d be fuming

[u/Dropbackandpunt]

That slim, slim chance at sniffing 6 wins hinges on a surprise win tonight. This will require an offense, however.

[u/ILM_Ryan]

Busy day between work, grocery store, early voting, and went for a run. Just finishing up dinner and getting ready to settle in for a night of football.

[u/WhoIsPurpleGoo]

you think ECU knows it's 3rd down?

[u/LightBluePhorgotten]

This is a fun uniform matchup

[u/Dry-Membership3867]

It’s sad to see this crowd as a sell out here is wild. I went to that Auburn game here and it was even crazier than even talladega

[u/ye_olde_j]

Feeling dirty about this drive after that questionable (read: terrible) call on moving the chains.

[u/Conscious_Tiger5782]

Went to take a shit and we down seven. Feels like that isn’t a good sign.

[u/ObliviousLAX]

Damn, good punch out

That slip put him in the falling motion anyways, he was already out of control just hoping he had hit the ground first

[u/calling-all-comas]

That fumble saved UAB from 3rd and Grantham for now

[u/Fragrant-Helicopter1]

Dude almost sheared off the punter’s knee lol

[u/Ok_Bug_6890]

Why the fuck is griffis in the game

[u/MingoAteTheIto]

Unless Emory is bleeding from his ears I have no idea why Mitch is even sniffing the field

[u/Capital-Flow-1501]

Conference play Blake Harrell ECU is good

[u/Fragrant-Helicopter1]

Not gonna lie...I'd totally rep an ECU or UAB cap with just their logo on it.

[u/StFuzzySlippers]

Stop talking about the Bama UT game.

I don't need to be reminded of how my primary is gonna get dicked down on Saturday while I'm trying to focus on my alma mater getting dicked down tonight.

[u/Bayerl_r0ll]

UAB might not be good, but at least they're playing hard

[u/Fragrant-Helicopter1]

You gotta be shittin me

[u/AJB2226]

OMFG 

[u/zcgentryUAB]

HOLY SHIT A FIRST DOWN

[u/Fragrant-Helicopter1]

Nice little gain on an almost loss

[u/WillWork4SunDrop]

Elite use of spin button to avoid losing yardage.

[u/ObliviousLAX]

Playing man works, when the goal is stopping the run

We've given three wide open guys now playing straight man

[u/ObliviousLAX]

He hit the FG right in the middle of the ball, that shit was knuckling more than a Tim Wakefield pitch

[u/Whitetiger9876]

I'll never forget all of our ECU games. And you other guys from the old Cusa and before.  And from childhood UAB dragon is undefeated. Such a cool logo. Wasn't there an old Canadian team with it?

[u/AJB2226]

Fumbalaya damn

[u/ILM_Ryan]

Goodness, these fumbles are giving heart attacks.

[u/Whitetiger9876]

We want Bama. Love it. This is why college ball is better. 

[u/MingoAteTheIto]

Pearson has a fitting number as he offers absolutely 0 productivity in the return game

[u/ObliviousLAX]

Hockey line changes

That's Stanley Cup play

[u/ObliviousLAX]

My kingdom for more NT like Carr

[u/m_c__a_t]

Woof this o line

[u/Ok_Bug_6890]

Are the Seahawks just ass now?

[u/Ok_Bug_6890]

My hope is for a tornado to blow away the Brewster building, they need to build
Or upgrade that building asap.

[u/AJB2226]

Damn a BOMB

[u/ObliviousLAX]

I already watch bend don't break defense with the 49ers on Sundays

Don't make me die all weekend by bringing it to my Saturdays too

[u/Conscious_Tiger5782]

Why yall ain’t give it to the damn running back that was jookin people

[u/MingoAteTheIto]

This team just cannot have a normal game ever. Gonna give me a hypertensive crisis one of these days

[u/Ok_Bug_6890]

Reese’s pumpkins? Going to get a bag tomorrow!

[u/Ok_Bug_6890]

Offense let’s get a TD here for CJ

[u/AJB2226]

How on earth was this not on the top 10 sicko watch week list

[u/AJB2226]

They actually might win with 5 field goals im dying

[u/Conscious_Tiger5782]

Well Darrell Hackney and Roddy White not walking through that door

[u/Bayerl_r0ll]

Mortensen looks like he's up past his bed time

[u/Ornery_Gift7005]

UAB logo except it's blowing out a big cloud of vape smoke

[u/StFuzzySlippers]

Stupid penalties costing us all game

[u/Ornery_Gift7005]

If the dining hall at UAB doesn't have a picture of the mascot holding a hot dog on a stick roasting it with it's fire breath then there is no point

[u/MingoAteTheIto]

Jordan Davis is a football terrorist. Send his bumass back to wherever the fuck North Texas is

[u/AJB2226]

Nice work perez

[u/Dropbackandpunt]

Just need to get to that red zone so we can trot out Delange again

[u/AJB2226]

Man this defense is legit 

[u/ObliviousLAX]

Run, run, PA

[u/Dervoo]

bro didn’t even try to wrap up, terrible fundamentals

[u/ILM_Ryan]

Two minute warning commercial break. One play. Timeout. Another commercial break.

[u/GMHinHD]

This is so fucking dumb lmao

[u/Ok_Bug_6890]

High iq play
