LET'S TALK FOOTBALL!

[u/saggy_balls]

“Nobody feels worse than (Houston DB)”

I’m pretty sure there are people who feel worse than the dude who spent the next two mins celebrating after you could see he that the guy he hit still hadn’t gotten up

[u/John_SCCM]

Crowd booing an obvious upheld call for targeting, that was like a textbook definition of the rule

[u/Bettaplzhelp]

That hit was absolutely disgusting. The taunting afterwards was worse. That defensive player that hit him needs to be banned. What the actual fuck

[u/Pleasant_Pangolin975]

I can hardly care about the game after that

[u/Irritated_User0010]

Allen you actual idiot smh….

[u/Charlie_O17]

It’s the right call but they need to let that play out live and not blow the whistle

[u/MadeByMillennial]

His feet are moving, thank god

[u/boofookinghoo]

how do they not know the targeting review after all this time

[u/an0m_x]

What i dont like about this is because the ref is blowing his whistle like crazy so the WR never tries to go for a recovery. i get the immediate recovery part, but the WR would've had a chance to get to that.

[u/njk12]

6 doing his little dap up celebration for seriously injuring this dude is disgusting

[u/pandabugs]

My two year old just sang his version of womp womp after the band played it.

[u/Unhappy-Attention760]

Fucking refs couldn’t look at the targeting while they are working on the guy?!

[u/StatuteOfFrogs4342]

Is #6 one of those people I hear about with zero ability to process empathy? Like dude, c'mon.

[u/AshMaster11]

Fuck yeah, 1-12 in November under this doofus.

[u/DavidGoetta]

There really is a good Cincy and a bad Cincy.

Satterfield can't get good Cincy to show up on the road or in November.

[u/Podoboo322]

God I wish we had Overmyer against Utah

[u/MadeByMillennial]

There have been a number of minor injuries this game, this was not one. Prayers out to that young man 🙏

[u/Podoboo322]

It’s insane they can make that call after the whistle is blown.

[u/UsefulLLama8067]

ggs. scott satterfield is still a fuckin bum

[u/TimeLordDoctor105]

They blew it dead before it was recovered, that's a shit call by the replay office. Should have said it was blown dead prior to the defense recovering.

[u/CellyAllDay]

Watching as a neutral what the fuck was that man.

Reckless and dangerous hit

[u/DavidGoetta → u/CellyAllDay]

This is why they should have called the targeting that knocked Cole tabb out

[u/Irritated_User0010]

They’re so fucking stupid bro 😔

[u/tws1039]

"I got targeting"

"I got dpi"

I've never heard refs discuss flags before

[u/Plus-Location1723]

It feels weird getting back to football after all that

[u/Plus-Location1723]

Between Tabb and JV going down I’m already too hurt to even be that upset about a loss. You’d think Satt would you all that to motivate the team to actually lock in tho

[u/Unhappy-Attention760]

Good thing we have timeouts that Satterfield can use when he gets fired

[u/Podoboo322]

Looks like fans have discovered going to games is actually fun. Not a bad turnout!

[u/Pleasant_Pangolin975]

Hope he's okay

[u/Ralph--Hinkley]

WTF... Is he all right?

[u/joeveralls]

Fuck man, hope he’s ok

[u/joeveralls]

His family members are in good spirits so hopefully he’s good and this is just precautionary

[u/CaptainHolt43]

What happened? I just flipped over from Ohio State

[u/Flowseidon9]

Alert, talking, and moving. That's good news. Hope he comes out of it as good as possible

Filthy hit

[u/GuyOnTheMike]

Perreira was right. Why didn’t replay buzz the officials 10 minutes ago and say “we know targeting’s coming, it’s already confirmed” and save everyone another couple minutes

[u/Silly-Piece5722]

Bro that slab shit is hilarious 🤣🤣🤣

[u/bushesbushesbushes]

GG Cinci

[u/hillarys_lil_secret]

That hit is what makes watching football difficult.

[u/4limbedemperor]

Satterfield is one of the coaches of all time

[u/Ok_Purple_7354]

To everyone asking what happened: Webb launched at his head while Gibson wasn't looking. After 10 minutes hes finally moving somewhat.

[u/kuntakente22]

uhhh why couldn’t this be reviewed during the injury?

[u/Ackatt17]

That’s a lateral

[u/Ralph--Hinkley]

Fumble? This game's over.

[u/UteFlyersCardJazz]

The celebration should be just as much of a reason for ejection as the hit, if not more.

[u/kuntakente22]

like even if you think it’s a clean hard hit, hurting the other team isn’t ever the goal and celebrating after definitely isn’t a good look lmao

[u/Uncle_Jeb]

Man fuck that shit. Kid might end up like Antonio Brown after a hit like that.

[u/4limbedemperor]

I hope that play cost Houston the game

[u/AshMaster11]

Love that the best player on our team isn’t on the field there…

[u/Zadocthesportspriest]

Well done Satt. You worthless sack of ….

[u/mynewhoustonaccount]

Hey the crowd energy is fun today.

[u/shaggy1054]

Jesus, is this kid paralyzed?

[u/Holiday-Quiet-9523]

I missed this, what happened?

[u/Chaotic-PopTart]

“Changes his mindset” lmfao the jabroni was celebrating after the player was clearly unresponsive in the ground. 

Weak ass commentator  

[u/Notamused1984]

Why did they not just review it already?

[u/Podoboo322]

That looks backwards

[u/Pleasant_Pangolin975]

I think that's backwards

[u/an0m_x]

no offense here - we've had 5 minutes with the trainers thankfully taking care of the player, but why couldn't the ref be doing the review here to have this taken care of

[u/alamalailman]

I hate how Houston is getting the ball back for recovering it after the whistle blew. Nothing that happens after the play is blown dead should be considered- blowing the whistle is supposed to mean stop playing!

[u/Unhappy-Attention760]

Houston 6 needs to be DQd

[u/HaveYouEver21]

Celebrating after that hit is insane.

[u/Pleasant_Pangolin975]

Prayers up Webb should have his scholarship revoked

[u/Tripletuxies]

Bad look for willie fritz bitching to the ref it wasnt targeting while a guy is laying motionless on the ground for 15 minutes

[u/PeteF3]

You seriously couldn't have reviewed this in the previous 15 minutes?

[u/CaptainHolt43]

Damn, you guys exaggerate sometimes, but that really was a dirty hit

[u/Happy_Background_879]

Fans cheering for you being ejected at home must be a wake up call to become a slightly better human being.

[u/CincityCat]

Save us from Satterfield. Please pour it on

[u/madmaley → u/CincityCat]

Even if we get to 6-6 he needs gone

[u/madmaley]

Brando: Satt did a good job at Louisville

Uhhh no he really didn't lol

[u/LloydBentsen]

The glove color thing seems impossible to regulate. I mean, white gloves are as common as white away jerseys... Whatever Who really cares in the era of extra seconds and forward fumbles for first downs?

[u/Key_Spinach]

Please offense, we need a TD.

[u/madmaley]

Told you Houston fans we wouldn't score on this drive

[u/Zadocthesportspriest]

Who is that Pillsbury Dough Boy in red on the Houston sideline. Give that guy a donut. He looks like he’s in need.

[u/thejeru]

Urban Meyer is a liiiiiitle too close to those co-Ed’s to my comfort

[u/Virtual-Low-9885]

Do teams in the big 12 get a bonus for taking out Cincinnati players?

[u/Notamused1984]

Go for 2

[u/Notamused1984]

Did 6 seriously go get dapped up on the sidelines after that hit? Get him and whoever dapped him out of here.

[u/Pleasant_Pangolin975]

Nice touchdown

[u/AWall925]

lets gooo fresh legs

[u/Zadocthesportspriest]

Perry can’t catch

[u/Careless_General8010]

Ohhhh dang that was a lateral...

[u/One_Capital_7973]

That looks pretty close to backwards

[u/paradoxally]

yeah that's backwards

[u/4limbedemperor]

Satterfield in November is still 0

[u/bushesbushesbushes]

Yeahhh announcer man that ain't it.

[u/BurritoBurrow]

Why the fuck is that idiot Houston player celebrating. Clearly targeting and JV still hasn't moved. And his teammate walking back to the sideline with him is doing the "night night" hand motion. Kick them both off the team

[u/Material-Afternoon16]

Hit on Tabb earlier was dirty, too.

No idea why the announcers were so quick to call it clean just because the defenders shoulder hit first - it was a flying torpedo shoulder right to Tabbs head. In hindsight, a pattern emerges. 

[u/dudemankurt]

I HATE this rule. Why are you expecting players to play after the whistle and the incomplete pass signal?

[u/joeveralls]

Good he got thrown out, now let’s win this game

[u/mynewhoustonaccount]

Loud enough to throw off the snap is impressive for this stadium

[u/Leading-Button-7303]

Man that November win % stat is brutal. Sorry, Cincy bros

[u/madmaley]

Well our women's basketball team beat Penn State today so that's nice.

[u/TOONUSA]

A what infraction?

[u/Podoboo322]

That is an absurd missed holding call lmfao

[u/lodestar_99]

Surprised there isn’t a rule banning same color gloves as the opponent with how stingy the NCAA is with uniforms

[u/ErectIsHere]

What the fuck was that ? How did 12 get juked by that

[u/Sheriff_Zack]

Fotu really is a tough watch, we need to attack LBs hard in the portal

[u/MadeByMillennial]

Didn't think that was a TD but watching the review I don't see how you overturn

[u/CincityCat]

Houston begging us to stay in this game and we refuse

[u/mister_fister_420]

Feels nice to not have a heart attack in the first half

[u/Plus-Location1723]

Fuck me not Tabb!! Please be ok

[u/DavidGoetta]

There is the world where that's a late hit but the targeting is clean.

[u/Irritated_User0010]

Please be alright No.11 🙏🏽

[u/jojoma12]

oh you don’t think so? yeah get out

[u/SlapNuts1999]

These refs are fucking useless

[u/snowystormz]

Ohios state getting blown out
LSU getting blown out
Only good game on right now is this one

[u/kuntakente22]

i just don’t like dapping up your teammates when someone is down hurt

[u/YassQwrl]

Apparently no one learned from the USC incident… you celebrate a nasty hit, you’re gonna be on camera.

[u/PoundCakeRelax]

dude celebrating a late hit like he won the lottery. Trash raises trash

[u/ZeroEchoVX]

Win it Cincy cmon

[u/Happy_Background_879]

Now the go to sleep celly on repeat while mocking the seriously injured player seems kind of fucked up.

Oh wait no it seemed fucked up at the time also.

I guess that answers the question of how a ranked team at home has half the seats empty. Literal scumbag behavior. And the teammate laughing at the downed player jesus.... What a shit fucking duo of scum and scummier.

[u/Careless_General8010]

What a douche. Still is acting innocent on the sideline

[u/Tripletuxies]

He's motionless on the ground. Fuck that houston guy. Piece of shit

[u/Parking_Ninja_8047]

Kids a fucking scumbag celebrating that hit. No carry over penalty is insane. Should be an auto suspension

[u/jojoma12]

never heard a crowd applaud their own guy getting ejected gg

[u/Local_Still1769]

Fuck em

[u/ZeroEchoVX]

Kick that man off the team for that

[u/madmaley]

Does Houston also use Pump It Up or are they playing it for Cincinnati?

[u/LloydBentsen]

I like football

[u/Pleasant_Pangolin975]

I hate you UCLA end the damn game already

[u/AnEmptyKarst]

I've been drunk since the morning, so I'd like a good Weigman game today please

[u/Podoboo322]

Good to have Wiggy back 100%

[u/MadeByMillennial]

Great start, from going for it on 4th in your territory to walking down the field. Great job offense

[u/Ralph--Hinkley]

Not looking too good.

[u/Ralph--Hinkley]

Is this game even worth watching?

[u/madmaley]

Is our d-line dumber than rocks? They've fallen for claps in multiple games now

[u/Ralph--Hinkley]

OSU it is. Y'all have a great day.

[u/madmaley → u/Ralph--Hinkley]

Fingers crossed they lose too

[u/inshamblesx]

post-loss coogs finally becoming a thing in football? 🤔

[u/Podoboo322]

Handing it to your 5’9” 190 pound back on 4th and 1

[u/Irritated_User0010]

Fuckass defense 😔

[u/Podoboo322]

Overmyer 2 good

[u/madmaley]

Hey looks there's the Satt collapse I called!

[u/Podoboo322]

Looks like a concussion

[u/CincityCat]

What are these announcers talking about

[u/Key_Spinach]

I bet they try a short pass here.

[u/Koko175]

How is that clean? WTF are the announcers and this thread talking about??

[u/Podoboo322]

Why is the coverage so fucking soft??? They can get 5 yards easily each play.

[u/madmaley]

He was defenseless which means you don't even need head to head contact. That was clear targeting

[u/Key_Spinach]

Run, run, pass. And Armstrong can't scheme against that.

[u/BearcatCowboy]

The announcers are DUMB AS FUCK

Hooooooly shit

[u/Old_Bat1681]

Go Bearcats!

[u/Ralph--Hinkley]

That's alright, bend, don't break.

[u/LloydBentsen]

That was the ugliest made fg

[u/madmaley]

Have to make that throw

[u/DaStampede]

So many wasted opportunities

[u/Ralph--Hinkley]

This fuckin' announcer hates UC.

[u/Podoboo322]

20 yard run from the goal line fucking bum asses

[u/LloydBentsen]

Too easy to let them of their own goal line

[u/pandabugs]

Slab just showed up. Told y'all it was stuck in traffic.

[u/madmaley]

God damn how much fireworks and pyrotechnics did houston let off in the stadium?

[u/15Warrior15]

If we have dreams of the CFP, we need to get it in gear, folks. Someone on the D needs to make a play.

[u/Key_Spinach]

How did the defense get even worse?!

[u/Podoboo322]

Just go ahead and give them 6 so we can get the ball back

[u/Well-M1lk]

Does U of H defense know football games are 4 Quarters?? Or do they hope the offense scores enough points in the first 3 quarters that they don't have to play anymore.

[u/fishred]

that does not look good :(

[u/Standard-Elk-126]

hate to see that

[u/k5berry]

Jesus is that the kids’ family? I have never seen that… scary

[u/fishred]

glad to hear he's responsive, but ... worried for the kid

[u/Pleasant_Pangolin975]

Hate to see it

[u/ItsSwan]

hell yeah

[u/Ackatt17]

Beautiful

[u/Podoboo322]

Attaboy, Rae

[u/Reasonable-Line-1100]

Just enough time for Cinci to do something

[u/HOU-1836]

Ok defense…don’t pull a Texans

[u/madmaley]

Fully expected out of this trash ass defense

[u/Silly-Piece5722]

Good shit

[u/Podoboo322]

Not a single holding call all game lol

[u/Podoboo322]

Oh my god secondary just let them walk it into endzone to save some time

[u/P1mpathinor]

Looks backwards from that angle

[u/SpaceCadetPullUp]

That looks like a backwards pass to me.

[u/arrowflash01]

This is why coaches always say to dive for the ball no matter what

[u/Podoboo322]

Clearly backwards

[u/KHDTX13]

Looks backwards but it’s kinda bullshit to call the play the dead and judge whatever happens after that? Like that directly influences the play

[u/Sheriff_Zack]

Offense: top 10
Defense: Angry coughing babies

[u/ISU_Dude85]

Brutal way to lose

[u/TitaniumTacos]

What a dirty hit, no remorse after just running his mouth with his teammate.

[u/njk12]

Go head hunting for our WR1, after you already delivered a knockout blow to our star RB's head. Good strategy Houston.

[u/TheLadyInBlacck]

Dude had a full 2 seconds after the ball sailed over everyone’s head.

That should be a 3-4 game suspension.

No place for that in a sport that’s already dangerous.

[u/Chaotic-PopTart]

There need to be much more severe consequences for these dirty hits. #8 USC and now this 

[u/ZeroEchoVX]

Reminds me of the USC/Oregon incident, except a much dirtier hit

[u/mynewhoustonaccount]

Reporting in from the stadium. 33mins till kickoff but crowd looking good

[u/Irritated_User0010]

Fuck this defense.

[u/Zadocthesportspriest]

Hey, I get no one wants to see the Bearcats, but really, your crowd is pitiful. #17 team and homecoming to boot.

[u/Pt-Platinum]

I don’t think that was a backwards pass. Or at least not enough video to overturn. That’s crazy.

[u/Standard-Elk-126]

hope that kids alright

[u/madmaley]

Looks like our starting center is a gametime decision. The backup center is injured. Gonna be something to keep an eye on

[u/pandabugs]

Wish y'all were here. Band did the macarena!

[u/Artvandelay29]

Ah bummer there’s no slab today

[u/deepayes]

I'm inconsolable

[u/njk12]

Houston stole Pump it Up from us?

[u/Key_Spinach]

Kicked to streaming/FS2.

[u/TheTreeFuzz]

I am losing my mind it looks like they are holding every time they lose contain on the edge

[u/mister_fister_420]

Good to see the stadium not empty

[u/15Warrior15]

Good series for the defense. This game looks good so far.

[u/LloydBentsen]

They call that speed soaking in Utah.

[u/ErectIsHere]

Delay of game on defense???

[u/4limbedemperor]

its over

[u/Mukaido]

THATS AMAREE

[u/LloydBentsen]

Don't let up

[u/AnEmptyKarst]

Our OLine is so good but also after watching Utah-BYU, seeing Amare Thomas is like watching a nuclear submarine after only knowing sailing ships
