CS (via FB message in The 51 Yard Line group chat): Please tell me someone else is watching the UM-MSU game and saw the little kid flip the ref off.
 
TB (via FB message): Yup! Was lucky enough to wake up from my nap right before it happened.
 
CS (text): This UM-MSU game is getting interesting
 
TB: 1st half defensive battle. Second half offensive battle
 
CS: Exactly. Couldn’t believe how easily Cook carved them up on the last drive. Let’s see if he does it again.
 
TB: Holding Mich to a field goal just now is huge
 
CS: Yup
 
CS: Btw these are my two favorite college coaches by FAR in this game. Post game handshake is gonna be interesting no matter who wins
 
TB: Dantonio is a genius for sure. I just love how animated Harbaugh continues to be. Not changing his tune at all from his Stanford or Niner days
 
CS: Honestly, I almost expected him to be crazier. It’s his Alma mater
 
CS: Way more personal
 
CS: Wow
 
TB: Wow what a boneheaded penalty
 
CS: That was AWFUL
 
TB: What the fuck was that? A superman dive into the pile? That’s so dumb
 
CS: Would be the dude who wears 69 lol
 
TB: Lol fuckin ridiculous
 
CS: Honestly laughing my ass off at what a fail that dude is
 
CS: Big fat fuck wearing 69 straight pile driving at the worst possible time
 
CS: Smh
 
TB: I need someone to make a gif out of that so I can use it whenever someone makes a dumb statement
 
CS: This game is hilarious. That dude, the three reviewed td plays, little kid flipping the bird, Harbaugh spazzing
 
CS: Good appetizer for games tomorrow
 
TB: It’s definitely a rivalry game lol
 
CS: Oh! I forgot that joke of an ejection
 
CS: Were you up for that?
 
TB: Oh right!
 
TB: I watched the replay on ESPN
 
CS: Word. After he got tossed he ran around the side of the stadium hyping the crowd on his way to the tunnel
 
TB: Hahaha yeah they showed that online. It was great
 
TB: I hate the targeting penalty. I get it but I hate it
 
CS: Dantonio’s coaching like an asshole. Three failed 4th downs including a fake punt on their own 40
 
CS: Is Scobee their kicker or something?
 
TB: No but equally as unreliable
 
CS: HUGE throw
 
CS: Btw the due who got tossed is the one who drove the stake in the Msu field last year
 
TB: Ha. Awesome
 
TB: I forgot about that
 
TB: Didn’t know it was the same dude
 
CS: Holy crap Michigan is shooting themselves in the foot
 
TB: I think I could punt farther than that dunce
 
CS: They’re punting team as a whole is TURRIBLE
 
CS: Lol I just rewatched the vine of the kid flipping off the camera. He’s got a pats hat on
 
TB: Hahahaha!
 
TB: That kid is a legend already
 
CS: He’s having himself a weekend
 
CS: Lot of pent up emotion perhaps?
 
TB: WOW
 
CS: The dictionary definition of pear shaped
 
TB: Seriously
 
CS: This game has more reviews than Roger Ebert
 
TB: It’s getting ridiculous
 
TB: That’s the wrong call
 
CS: Well, whatever
 
TB: Lol yeah doesn’t matter
 
CS: Rudocks gotta earn his keep here
 
CS: Which is unlikely lol
 
TB: No doubt
 
TB: Lol
 
CS: Whoa
 
TB: Ah Michigan keeps it
 
CS: Duuuuuude
 
CS: What a couple of clutzes
 
CS: Here we go jake
 
CS: Ok. Conor cook time
 
TB: This is gonna be an insane 7 minutes
 
CS: That receiver shoulda had that one
 
CS: That burbridge Lewis matchup is epic
 
TB: Yeah it is
 
CS: Phew that cook pass would have been brilliant
 
CS: Don’t give him another chance or he’s gonna get em
 
TB: Lol freshman
 
TB: Tripping over his own feet
 
CS: Brutal
 
TB: Oh shit so close
 
CS: Wooooow
 
CS: Would have been ball game
 
CS: Big flag there
 
TB: What the hell just happened
 
CS: ….
 
CS: Rudock caught his own pass???
 
TB: That was so weird
 
CS: Ok here we go
 
TB: 69 again lol
 
CS: Cheese eatin dunce
 
CS: And then he TOTALLY REDEEMS HIMSELF
 
TB: Burbridge holy shit!!
 
CS: He’s good at football
 
TB: Goddamn
 
CS: Duuuude this game
 
TB: What a sack
 
TB: 69 Willie Henry doesn’t fail for once
 
CS: You know they’re going back to Burbridge
 
TB: He’s their man. They have to
 
CS: Yup but missed him
 
TB: Fuuuuuck
 
CS: Lewis got him
 
CS: That’s been the whole game. Back and forth
 
CS: Here’s the ballgame
 
TB: I don’t want this game to end. Ever.
 
TB: One timeout. That’s ballgame
 
TB: Cook almost got that pass complete too. Crazy
 
CS: Whew
 
CS: That would have been nuts
 
TB: Harbaugh is just killin it right now. What an insane turnaround
 
CS: Just like with Stanford and the niners
 
CS: Desmond Howard lol
 
TB: Lol what a clown
 
CS: That osu game is gonna be NUTS
 
TB: 3 yards ends it right here
 
TB: Oh yeah I can’t wait for that to start
 
TB: Barring a miracle, game over
 
CS: Got the ball though
 
CS: I did my math wrong
 
CS: Thought they could knee it
 
TB: Nah only because mich st had that one timeout
 
TB: What the fuck
 
TB: What the fuck
 
TB: What the fuck did we just see
 
CS: Oh
 
CS: My
 
CS: God
 
TB: My brain isn’t processing this
 
TB: Oh that long snapper is out of a job
 
TB: Or wait shit that wasn’t a horrible snap. The punter can’t catch
 
CS: Why didn’t he fall on it?
 
TB: I have no idea
 
CS: It went right to the guy
 
TB: I fucking love rivalry games dude
 
TB: Lol where’s that shitty kid? I bet his middle finger is permanently up his ass right now
 
CS: Tomorrow night can’t come fast enough
 
CS: For him I mean
 
TB: lol god what a game
 
CS: This was supposed to be the day I watched football without freaking out
 
CS: …nope
 
TB: haha nope!
 
CS: I can’t BELIEVE that shit dude
 
CS: WHAT?
 
TB: I think the football gods just blew their load for the weekend
 
TB: nothing can be more exciting than that
 
CS: Right?
 
TB: I haven’t been that excited by a college game since that auburn missed fg TD return
 
CS: Yup. I need to find a way to recharge before champs tomorrow. Pretty much blew my load too
