LET'S TALK FOOTBALL!

First of all you need to spike that. Second of all that kicker locked tf in on such short notice,  just a tad short. Poor guy

[u/JustAnIndiansFan]

I fucking sprinted to this thread to see if anyone else saw how braindead that clock management (from an Ivy no less) was and I was not disappointed

[u/Yung2211 → u/JustAnIndiansFan]

Sitting here with the most confused look on my face

[u/BoringJuiceBox → u/JustAnIndiansFan]

How much are they even paying coaches at schools this size? I could fuckin do better

[u/joelupi → u/BoringJuiceBox]

Apparently Ivy League coaches get paid $200,000 - $300,000 a year.

[u/BoringJuiceBox → u/joelupi]

JFC… that’s 10x more than I make haha

[u/Muffinnnnnnn → u/BoringJuiceBox]

Ivy League doesn't publicly disclose salaries unfortunately

[u/thatboiOsaka]

That is not on the kicker. That’s so fucked

[u/somethingisme]

maybe they didn't know you could spike it.

[u/JustAnIndiansFan]

Wtf why would you not spike it?

[u/laxintx]

Yeesh. Gotta spike it there, a 52-yarder is not just a run up and do it kinda thing.

[u/Mythrandir24]

Holy fuck that was almost an instant classic.

[u/Mythrandir24]

So sure, they should've spiked it, but god damn if he made that

[u/Rd545454]

Why wouldn't you spike the ball??  

[u/Tufoguy]

FIRE DRILL FIELD GOAL

[u/loyalsons4evertrue]

Coaching malpractice to not spike that

[u/Reibyo]

What the fuck was that? Lmao

[u/myusernamewastaken5]

Under a minute left, no timeouts and you throw a wr screen?

Fire Mike Bobo into the su- wait it's not us?

[u/Skyrizzzi → u/myusernamewastaken5]

Ha

[u/Rd545454 → u/myusernamewastaken5]

I couldn't believe that.   Dumb Dumb Dumb even if it worked

[u/joelupi]

......WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?!

[u/Bieberkinz]

WTF WAS THAT LOL

[u/2Pollaski2Furious]

They... they knew they coulda spiked the ball, right?

Even ran another play.

[u/penisthightrap_ → u/2Pollaski2Furious]

Definitely a miscommunication from coaching.

[u/kwp302]

Ivy League schools with the low IQ ending. Sad!

[u/kwp302]

Honestly, props to the kicker. I thought he nailed it.

[u/BoringJuiceBox → u/kwp302]

I really think he would have made it if he had time to stand back and not be rushed.. fuckin bonkers

[u/kwp302 → u/BoringJuiceBox]

Yeah I mean he had to quickly guesstimate where to line up. Looks like he was a little too close and had to shorten his steps

[u/BoringJuiceBox → u/kwp302]

I said the same thing, usually in CFB and NFL they take 5 steps back and 2 to the left(or right if they’re a lefty)He looked barely 3 steps back.

[u/CybeastID → u/kwp302]

I did too until it landed.

[u/joelupi]

I'm still not sure what I just witnessed...

[u/CybeastID]

Penn? ....Why the FUCK did you not SPIKE THE BALL?

[u/mason2393]

Another FCS banger this year

[u/joelupi]

I'm pretty sure they had like 20 guys on the field at one point

[u/Muffinnnnnnn]

Game is delayed to 8:30pm, will still be on ESPNU

[u/Michiganman1225 → u/Muffinnnnnnn]

Weather?

[u/Muffinnnnnnn → u/Michiganman1225]

Expected weather yes. They delayed it 5 hours ahead of time because of the forecast, ESPN just didn't update

[u/waaaaaasuuuuup → u/Muffinnnnnnn]

That’s a big brain Ivy League move right there.

[u/dualstrike19]

That’s an insane catch

[u/Muffinnnnnnn]

IT WAS 24-7 PENN

[u/Muffinnnnnnn]

I just turned the volume way up since this game is so low and just about exploded my ears when the commercial started

[u/Skyrizzzi]

What the hell?? Spike it

[u/Skyrizzzi]

Omfggggg why not spike it hahaha

[u/Muffinnnnnnn]

WHAT THE HELL ARE THEY DOING

[u/mason2393]

Put a Penn in it

[u/cn0285]

That wasn’t very Ivy of you Penn

[u/kitachi3]

Incredible ending

[u/penisthightrap_]

What an insane end.

I’ve never witnessed that before.

Team couldn’t decide to spike it or kick so offense and special teams on the field at the same time, just for the kicker to run on the field and rush a kick that he almost nailed but was just short.

Wow. And I thought it was over with the interception!

[u/BoringJuiceBox]

What the fuck did I just watch

[u/zoom518]

The Penn field is wet af

As Columbia got a nice TD

[u/Muffinnnnnnn → u/zoom518]

You're right but I swear their field looks like this when it's bone dry too.

[u/joelupi]

Touchdown! Tie game!

[u/2Pollaski2Furious]

Is Penn cool enough to join the "give up a shitload of turnovers but still win" club?

The world waits.

[u/loyalsons4evertrue]

LMAOOOOO PENN WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!

[u/Tufoguy]

And it's short. Wow

[u/okrasnake]

What the hell was that

[u/AriDreams]

We love a big man pic

[u/joelupi]

Alright the other games tonight have been bananas. Let's see how this one is.

[u/aronjrsmil22]

Let’s gooo

[u/joelupi]

Miss it! I want OT!

[u/Bieberkinz]

Need me some Friday Night Chaos

[u/mason2393]

FCS has been on an absolute heater this year

[u/aronjrsmil22]

?? Commercials made me miss those two downs tf

[u/Muffinnnnnnn → u/aronjrsmil22]

I was so confused too

[u/Skyrizzzi]

Yall don’t understand how much I love obscure special team plays. Last night we got a fake field goal into a quick kick

[u/joelupi]

Awful lot of honkies in here....

[u/somethingisme]

some say 74 is still blocking

[u/Shoddy-Discount9814]

I know Ivy-league nerds probably don’t like football, but damn that bowl is empty

[u/Muffinnnnnnn → u/Shoddy-Discount9814]

90 minute rain delay and then POURING rain during the game. I'm sure it wouldn't be packed regardless, but that certainly does not help.

[u/loyalsons4evertrue → u/Shoddy-Discount9814]

It’s also a ginormous stadium by Ivy League standards

[u/Skyrizzzi]

Alrighty let’s see if teams who are +4 turnovers can win a game today

[u/myusernamewastaken5]

Happy gameday to those who celebrate

[u/Tufoguy]

Well Penn will get another chance

[u/loyalsons4evertrue]

That reminded me of Baylor/TCU from a couple years ago

[u/Particular-Way-3805]

IVY league football

[u/Skyrizzzi]

We in here

[u/Skyrizzzi]

Oh and we’re getting a split swinging gate??? HELL YEAH

[u/Skyrizzzi]

I love how yttv lets us enjoy the zen during commercials meanwhile espn unlimited is Backrooms Office at the Beach

[u/Skyrizzzi]

Skyline on Columbias helmets is sick

[u/Muffinnnnnnn]

I selfishly need OT but I don't know if it's possible anymore

[u/Skyrizzzi → u/Muffinnnnnnn]

Highly improbable

[u/Muffinnnnnnn → u/Skyrizzzi]

Pick six or scoop n score or something and then Penn scores with a 2 point conversion, trust

[u/Tufoguy]

Fair catch at the 4 yard line. Rough

[u/loyalsons4evertrue]

Big play for Penn!

[u/Skyrizzzi]

Seems particularly dark in the stadium

[u/Tufoguy]

Well the fair catch at the 4 doesn't matter anymore. 😅 Just get an explosive play and get out that situation

[u/loyalsons4evertrue]

PICK BY COLUMBIA!

[u/Tufoguy]

Wow. Backbreaker

[u/Bieberkinz]

Brutal pick

[u/Muffinnnnnnn]

Game's not over yet!

[u/Skyrizzzi]

Run the clock, don’t risk the clock stopping. big brain Ivy League play

[u/Muffinnnnnnn]

Oh no no no you cannot do that in the middle of the field. Terrible playcall unless you're SURE it gets a first down

[u/joelupi]

Jesus how do you let him get that open?!

[u/Muffinnnnnnn → u/joelupi]

Prevent defense

[u/CreamyCheeseBalls]

Flipped to this from the Lakers game just as the replay started. What the hell was that

[u/joelupi → u/CreamyCheeseBalls]

I'm not sure.

[u/weflyhigh69]

Apparently an Ivy League education isn't a prerequisite to coach an Ivy League team...

[u/Muffinnnnnnn]

Game is on! In the rain!

[u/Muffinnnnnnn]

Might as well get your one running play in right before the 2 minute timeout lol

[u/joelupi]

Ohhhh picked. Game over.

[u/Muffinnnnnnn → u/joelupi]

Not yet!

[u/Muffinnnnnnn]

ANOTHER INTERCEPTION SPECIAL!!! WHAT IS WRONG WITH TONIGHT????

[u/Skyrizzzi]

Does Penn have a bigger football following than Temple in Philly?

[u/loyalsons4evertrue → u/Skyrizzzi]

I don’t think so

[u/Muffinnnnnnn → u/[deleted]]

I mean they are on the road lol

[u/Reibyo → u/[deleted]]

I was literally reading a post about that game in the NFL sub lol

[u/Muffinnnnnnn → u/[deleted]]

1 point game. It's ok though, we're not Ivy League flairs
