The ending to the Western Michigan versus Michigan game drew a wide range of comments in the college football world, but none as interesting as Reddit user DoItForTheTanquary. The Reddit user posted to the college football subreddit and unloaded on Michigan’s last-second victory over Western Michigan, showing the disgust that ultimately spread across the college football world.
“Western Michigan stopped Michigan’s final Hail Mary. The clock showed 0:00. The pass fell incomplete. The Broncos celebrated what should have been a historic 12–7 victory in the Big House. The game was over.”
The Reddit user went to varying creative lengths to describe the horrowing scene for Western Michigan.

“One second suddenly reappeared from beyond the grave. Not a penalty, an untimed down or a normal clock stoppage everyone noticed in real time. The Big Ten simply found another second after the game had ended.”
He then turned to hyperbole to try to reason with what occurred.
“Maybe the replay booth really did locate one second. Maybe the official explanation is technically defensible. But if Western Michigan had needed that second, Tony Petitti would have personally swallowed the game clock, declared time a social construct and had Michigan Stadium demolished before sunrise.”
He then goes out of his way to characterize the Big Ten, the conference in which Michigan competes in in an interesting way.
“The Big Ten is no longer an athletic conference. It is an organized crime syndicate disguised as a collection of land-grant universities…The Big Ten must be stopped.”
On Saturday evening in Ann Arbor, Michigan avoided what could’ve been one of the biggest upsets in college football history with a stunning finish. With just one second remaining, Bryce Underwood launched a Hail Mary that JJ Buchanan hauled in for the win, giving the Kyle Whittingham era an unforgettable opening chapter. While several in the sports world expressed their disapproval at the time being placed back on the clock for Michigan to win, DoItForTheTanquary certainly has the most interesting take of all.
