Claims MSU is the luckiest team to win a National Championship and we should be embarrassed to hang a banner.

This guy is 100% US grade A choice douche bag. What a fvcking loser. This guy is the epitome of insufferable gris fan and a living reason why the Mony Mony chant exists and will always be a thing.

It's funny how many good teams get lucky.

"They were so lucky!" says the fan of a team that literally won a game this year when a quarterback somehow fumbled on an attempted spike play.

The "luckiest" play in that game IMO was when ISU had 3rd and goal from the 2 and the Cats were mounting a goal line stand. ISU runs up the middle, the back gets stuffed at the 1 and fumbles the ball.

If the Cats recover that ball, we probably run them out of the stadium, as we had a 14 point lead and that would have flipped their 3rd quarter momentum.

If ISU recovers in the field of play, they face a 4th and goal at the 1 with a shaky FG kicking unit.

Instead, the ball trickles into the end zone and an ISU O-lineman falls on it for a TD, cutting our lead to 7.

TOTAL LUCK!

Glad you mentioned that play. Why were they awarded a TD?! Maybe it's just an NFL rule but i thought you couldn't advance a fumble. That ball should've been spotted where the fumble occurred.

Am i missing something? I was losing my mind at the bar when that happened.

The rule of "not advancing a fumble" only applies on fourth down plays and is intended to prevent teams from fumbling the ball intentionally in the hopes that their team recovers it. MSU scored a touchdown on a similar play earlier in the playoffs against Yale when Lamson fumbled into the end zone and Chris Long recovered it.

This was early in the game. If they try to kick this field goal and get it blocked, and they end up in a similar situation late, do they go for it instead of kicking? Funny to think about the repercussions of each play on end of game decisions

It was 3rd quarter. But yes you're right, if they had recovered that fumble outside the end zone and attempted a FG and had trouble, it would have definitely affected their decisions later in the game.
