OSU fan here. Totally rooting for our Big10 Champ to win last night. Even got two MI haters to root for MI and one changed his bet to MI to win and gave the points because I convinced him. MI going to win. But of course you had to keep it close. Do NOT take Huskies lightly. Your DL better be relentless non stop 60 minutes. Thank you for saving the Big 10 for an SEC bowl games beat down. Only WI played well and close. OSU did not have a QB or MH. All Big 10 teams should root for all Big 10 teams. Remember Rick Leach and Anthony Carter? Me 62M.
We feel your pain Matt, we are finally having a season that you have experienced every year for like a decade. You have a great show and I look forward to more in the future…GO BLUE!!
Much respect Matt, took the loss, congratulated MI and moved on (MI fan here btw) Y'all were insane even with losing a lot of y'all team this year, You know you Bama really run that division and has forever, congrats on a great season.
As a Michigan fan, I was so looking forward to rubbing this in, but after watching that game, I have way too much respect for the entire Alabama program and its fans. The humility shown by Saban and Milroe at the press conference was impressive. Keep your heads up guys, Alabama is always reloading. Think back to that Texas loss and then the close USF game and everybody wrote them off only to watch them come back and lose in the semis by one play/3 yards.
They mostly lose, just at high times. Most Bama titles came in the BCS system. We just get everybody's hate. Matt really described the fun and celebration going on for everyone else. It wasn't like this for my late dad. Lost fair and square so good job with the class, Wolverine. Best regards.
@@billdawson9253 well they acquitted themselves nicely. At first, I was one of the people arguing that Florida State got robbed, but Alabama put that to rest. I still don’t like how subjectively the playoff committee seems to make their decisions, but they got it right this time and I’m happy to admit I was wrong. I will definitely be cheering for Alabama as well in the coming seasons (just not if/when they play Michigan 🤣). God bless!
@@icyballerj5857 lol “cheaters.” They’re accused of violating an archaic budgetary measure that was never intended to ban the practice of scouting, but instead was meant to benefit smaller schools in the 90s who couldn’t afford to travel like the bigger schools did. The fact that you think that the method they may have used to steal signs makes it cheating is laughable and shows how easily the media can manipulate your opinion. There is no competitive advantage offered by scouting in person or simply pulling your opponents signals off from the All-22 coaches film. Also, 99% of the “evidence” offered by the media was anonymous sources and supposed reports.

The bad snap of the opening drive of the second half really hurt and killed a great drive!I don’t think we were the best team in the country this year at any point so we had a successful season, got to continue to work hard and improve this offseason!
The bad snap on fourth and goal in OTat the 3 was pretty bad, too. And the other 34 during the regular season. Are there any centers who can snap a fooball in the portal?

You got yourself a Wolverine alum and fan subscriber! And while I do not live anywhere nearly as exotic as Zimbabwe, I do live all the way in Dubai. Keep up the great videos!
I'm still shocked about the bad snaps. It killed us in the Texas and South FL gms, and was issued in others.. but there was 17-18 yesterday. There was a few sacks that were caused bc of bad snaps
It’s absolutely difficult to watch a replay when your team lost in a close game. I still haven’t watched 2018 SEC championships against Bama and also the one at the past few weeks. ( Dawg fan) so I can relate to your emotions.
Matt, I am a ‘89 Michigan grad from Tokyo, Japan. I have very much enjoyed your videos for the last two seasons. It’s hard to get enough dosage of college football here. I can’t put up with ESPN anymore and you and Klatt are the only places that I go to now. Thank you so much and please keep it up!
Matt, my admiration for you has skyrocketed after this video. You really are a fair-minded, impartial observer, even though you are a rabid Alabama fan. That's a rare breed.
"The thrill of victory......" Never a better line about sports or life in general. Matt, keeping it real and some stats too. It's nice to see AL lose only because the thrill needs to be felt by all fan bases. The agony, well sometimes it makes the thrill that much sweeter. GBO
Matt! I saw you on GMA the one that comes on at noon! They showed one of your tweets. Lol. Sorry for your loss. I'm an Oklahoma fan, hubby's from there, I'm a Nevada alumni (Kaepernick era, and love Harbaugh), and a UNR fan, and we live here. But as for football, Oklahoma is the center of our attention, and the 49ers. I'm sorry you lost, but I'm happy for Harbaugh and the Michigan kids. That stupid Coach made them look terrible and they were/are such a good team. They didn't need to cheat. I'm glad they showed out. Michigan did control the game. It wasn't actually close, even if the score was close and ended in OT.
As a Michigan fan holy hell was that a great but EXTREMELY stressful game both teams played there butts off even Texas and Washington game was amazing couldn’t have asked for a better playoff game credit to all teams great games #GOBLUE
Matt, I'm a lowly Duke fan who gets to eat crums from the Bamas, Bulldog, Tigers and Gators, etc. table. Just want to say I love your updates. Keep them coming.
Matt I just wanted to thank you for the way you supported Texas Longhorns Football this year. It really means a lot to the fans. #mattbecollectingrocks
Matt, great job this year. I have been a subscriber for over a year and you are my favorite when it comes to college football. I am looking forward to your future videos as well as your break down of the Championship game.
Everything that was a concern for me cost us in this game and was greatly exposed 1.Bad snaps 2.playing to much man against motion heavy teams 3.Milroe inability to read defenses pre snap Ppl you have to understand the reason Michigan Dline was getting to JMill so fast was because he was not identifing the pressure he was not and has not been able to recognize that all year long that’s why he struggled mightily against.. Texas, Arkansas, Auburn, and Georgia yes Georgia he did not play very well that game but there were other factors that lead to that win.. Michigan had a long enough layoff to make Bama look like the Texas team and played sloppy and still won they should’ve beaten us by at 21 points
Michigan also dialed up stunts with combination of delayed blitzes if you can’t step up to throw in the pocket affects the deep pass which was what you had to take away from bama
I think it’s the month away from football. Both Michigan and Alabama looked terrible out there. There was a lot of mistakes on both teams offenses/special teams that game.
That's because styles make fights. Michigan was the better team but the coaching style didn't allow bama to play there "best" game. Michigan dominated the trenches and it wasn't even close. They were getting after Milroe especially in the first half unlike anything Bama had seen all year. Georgia could not contain him in the pocket while Michigan did a marvelous job outside a couple great QB runs. Alabama had to literally scheme the QB run plays because he couldn't get out the pocket.
@TH-li7lj yeah hopefully the expanded playoffs next year tightens up that layover. It has to be difficult for some guys once they slowdown for an extended period to be able to be 100% prepared and ready after that long break.
Man they have been inconsistent as hell all year. The Oline would have a good game, then a bad one. Milroe hit the whole field against LSU. Couldn't hit the broad side of a barn the next game. Those bad snaps happened all season, every game. It was crazy. Honestly, Matt was right, we overachieved like a mother fkr.
I enjoy your show matt. I subscribed early this season. I am a Michigan fan but I like your content and go there to keep tabs on the SEC. I enjoy all of college football. Thank you Matt.
Matt you’re a good guy, always enjoy your show! I’m in NYC and graduated UofM class of ‘85. It has been too long for the Michigan faithful. Bama has been spoiled by greatness for a long time. Great game and it lived up to the hype of two blue bloods. Michigan = America’s team Bet and Go Blue! 〽️
Matt thanks for the respect for my team. They dominated the first half and gave it away at the same time. Don’t worry you’ll get over the sadness, took me a minute for that TCU crap show.
I was guilty of having Bama fan overconfidence. This is a real phenomenon that I blame on consistent winning. 10 minutes in I remembered that we in fact suck lol. Roll Tide.
@@doerdletfg Since Bama sucks. What does that make Michigan? Y'all had to come from behind and win in OT. Guess Michigan isn't good either. So you avoided my question. So it was day's after 😂
@@trumpershaveblinderson7470 you’re definitely a bozo if you can’t understand that the losing team sucks and the winning team doesn’t. In fact you get the double bozo ding dong crown. Wear it proudly while you ponder the downfall of your sucky team and conference!
Great game Matt...GO BLUE... but let's tell the real this game could have went either way ... could have started as a run away if the first INT counts. The Bama center needed to work on his snaps.. never seen a clip of them working on that once.this was like watching the 2000 game. At the end of the day Saban still top dawg coach and watch Bama come back even more scarier.. yall already got domani jackson
Tough loss, bruh. I like your content, I'm #UGA fan. Some other Bama fans got too arrogant and still talking bout us. You kept this video bout this game, and I respect that.
Michigan fan here. I appreciate your content. Clearly, you are a fan of your team. But your takes are good overall. In the next game, Penix is a better QB than Milroe (at this stage). I’m interested in your takes on 2 things: (1) Are Washington’s receivers faster/better than the Bama receivers that Michigan held in check; and (2) How does Washington’s pass rush compare to Bama’s. On point 2, I thought Bama had some elite edges, but Michigan’s OL largely neutralized them. Proud of my guys. I know your pain as a fan. I look forward to more of your content.
Much love Matt, Alabama and coach Saban will go down in history as one of the greatest dynasties not just in CFB but in sports in general, we stole this one and it feels fantastic, very stressful and it was a great game. One more game, time to go beat Washington GoBlue!〽️
Man to man..Losing is a terrible thing and you feel rejected dejected and it's the most terrible feeling in world. Now you understand what it's like to be a Georgia fan,and lose in OT. That feeling sucks!
@@sectruth1457 Playoffs carry lot more meaning..Right? The feeling is deeper. Georgia in the national championship 26-23. After winning all game...That absolutely crushed my soul. Lol
coming from a michigan household, rooting for alabama was a bold move and it was fun moment to experience, sucks it resulted like that but i’m happy for both teams honestly (alabama showed that they can still compete wit 1 loss and michigan finally getting the recognition they deserve)
I'm ngl Matt, when they announced the top 4 teams I was excited because a win versus Bama, was going to mean so much more than a win versus Tate Rodemaker. That game delivered and I genuinely felt bad that to advance, we had to end Bama's first "nobody believed in us" season in a long time. Could not have asked to share that Rose Bowl experience with a better fanbase and I thank Alabama for treating us all to the game of my life. No sarcasm, the hitting alone in that game rekindled my passion for football.
As a Georgia fan, I hate Alabama and their fanbase and shed a tear of joy when they lost. Having said that, I always respected you Matt. You've always been fair and never trolled others. You're the only reason why I haven't completely gone to the Darkside when it comes to hating Bama. Part of me wishes BAMA would have won because them losing reflects poorly on the SEC. I feel like a healthy Georgia would have beat Michigan.
Love your analysis of games. You pretty much nailed everything I was thinking about this game. I got nothing to add other than, good game. That was a thriller. Next week vs Washington? Expect a DIFFERENT UM team than this game. We had guys trying to do too much, trying to win the game on 1 play, too much cutesy plays that blew up... Part of it, was being nervous about playing Saban "with a month to prepare" and a plethora of 5-star players, and thinking we HAD TO do that. (Turns out we didn't.) Now we know: doing what we do, is enough. We will go back to being patient and playing simple, Harbaugh, smash-mouth football. Can't wait for the challenge of Penix and Co.! #goblue〽
As I Michigan fan I was apprehensive about this game because Alabama has been the standard bearer for college football for a long time and has demonstrated an uncanny knack for finding a way to win, as recently displayed against Auburn. This game could have gone either way but despite the horrible special teams play from Michigan, Bama made mistakes of their own and Michigan prevailed in the end. I know Bama has had a very high standard but 12-2 is nothing to be ashamed of.
Honestly, Matt, I'm verrrry troubled by this loss. Very troubled. Think about where we are as a program right now. We're losing to Texas and Michigan for Chrissakes! Let that sink in: Texas. and. Michigan. That's who's beating us now. Not Tim Tebow's Florida teams or DeShaun Watson's Clemson teams or Joe Burrow's LSU teams. Not even wacky, once-in-a-blue-moon Kick Six black magic in Jordan Hare Stadium. No, Texas and Michigan are who's beating us now. We've got some serious problems to address. You can still be proud of this team if you want, Matt. I'm not. Nothing I witnessed yesterday leaves me swelling with pride as an Alabama fan. Our offensive line is utterly atrocious. Our QB is a frontrunner who's easily rattled and will crumble under pressure once he's been sacked a couple times. Our player development needs to be reevaluated because we're clearly not maximizing the talent we've recruited. I'm not gonna come on here and join in the choir of Alabama fans fellating this year's team for still winning the SEC after the way we started in September. I'm not gonna say this was a great coaching job by Nick Saban. Because, quite frankly, I don't believe any of that holds up to scrutiny. No, I'm going to be brutally honest about where Alabama football now finds itself. We're not an elite program anymore. We're a good program, sure, but we're not a national championship program anymore. Again: Texas and Michigan. That's who's beating us nowadays. Texas and Michigan...
A lot of the sloppy play can be attributed to the fact that these guys sit for a month before playing these games. Look when most of the upsets happen; first game of a season and right after a bye. Wear the hate like a badge. We've (Michigan) had it all year. Screw em. And good on you for not watching ESPN.
You're humbly honest, Matt. We, Michigan fans, appreciate that. Humility before honor. I'm hoping all Michigan fans stay humble as well. Great game. Alabama has always been great. there are no exceptions here this year as well. Congrats for a great season.
I’ve learned a lesson through my life as a Georgia fan. Got to look at the overall. Georgia didn’t win the natty this year, but you can’t win every year. We have a good team coming back. There is always haters and always challenges. A true fan would react the same way you did. You are a true ride or die fan.
Great recap, and great humility in the loss. As a Michigan fan, I would have been sick had we blown that game, But if we would have, it'd have been our fault. Unlike the Lions loss to the Cowboys, which I'm still fuming about. NFL is rigged. Can't wait to see the championship with the two undefeateds!
I don't watch the NFL anymore. Was so turned off seeing multi-millionaire players disrespecting our National Anthem that I stopped watching. Have read several times that the NFL is rigged. Must be something to it. That's a way to destroy the NFL. They can't be stupid enough to not realize that.
Michigan fans respect the legacy of Alabama. I thought we'd lose because we'd get overconfident after shutting out a PATHETIC Iowa team. It did not prepare us to play an actual good team like the Crimson Tide!!
Congrats to UM. They earned that game. We have had great experiences with UM fans all over. The blue blood fan bases just know how to behave, unlike the Johnny come lately (ahem, Clemson fans…ugh) fans that act like arses every time we see them at games.
The only difference between Georgia losing to Alabama and Alabama losing to Michigan was the fact that, as a Georgia fan, I knew we lost the game halfway through the 4th quarter. I told my brother, "If Bama gets a touchdown here, we lose. Too many 1 in 1000 chance things have to happen for us to win."
Great game Matt it was a battle and we shot ourselves in the foot on special teams but Michigan prevails! We’ve been on your side of it the last 2 years we know your pain 😅
I agree with a lot of your points, Matt. Let me ask the question that I can’t give myself the answer to. With all of our four star and five star recruits how do we still manage to look so sloppy? There should be enough talented people on the field for us that these mistakes shouldn’t be happening.
Good Game Matt, I know I gave you hell on Twitter/X about you saying Corum wasn't going to be able to run the ball vs Alabama but it's just banter. Much love and Go Blue
What happened to the play calling? Bama was running the ball for chunk plays over and over then bubble screens and passes to the sidelines that killed drives. I thought I was watching my Hogs. Play to Lose. Offensive coordinator choked in the 4th
Man I get that feeling. When OSU was up 14 on UGA twice but couldn’t do it, I was just sad. Most heartbreaking loss. It was even worse than the Michigan games cus you just knew, if we win that we get a Natty. The Michigan games just made me mad.
Blake the Great, told you to put some respect on our name. Now what they gone say, 2 big ten schools in championship lol that move to bring in Washington looking real good 😂

I'm sorry you lost, but I'm happy for Harbaugh and the Michigan kids. That stupid Coach made them look terrible and they were/are such a good team. They didn't need to cheat. I'm glad they showed out. Michigan did control the game. It wasn't actually close, even if the score was close and ended in OT.
Couldn’t wait for video fam, no bias , you didn’t hide or make excuses
As a Michigan fan holy hell was that a great but EXTREMELY stressful game both teams played there butts off even Texas and Washington game was amazing couldn’t have asked for a better playoff game credit to all teams great games #GOBLUE
Those Missed snaps killed us especially on that drive in the 3rd quarter when we we’re about to score but the missed snaps made us lose yards
@ bosscordez4693 lol that was funny 😆
It’s 6:36 am here in Georgia
Sitting at work here in South Georgia. Been waiting for this video 😂
Matt, I'm a lowly Duke fan who gets to eat crums from the Bamas, Bulldog, Tigers and Gators, etc. table. Just want to say I love your updates. Keep them coming.
Matt I just wanted to thank you for the way you supported Texas Longhorns Football this year. It really means a lot to the fans. #mattbecollectingrocks
As a Buckeye fan I will say this: YOU HAD ONE JOB......ONE #$@&% JOB!!!!!!!!!!!!!
😂😂😂
So did osu. And they failed. Sad day when osu fans have to outsource beating Michigan to other teams. Pathetic buckeyes.
Matt, great job this year. I have been a subscriber for over a year and you are my favorite when it comes to college football. I am looking forward to your future videos as well as your break down of the Championship game.
Everything that was a concern for me cost us in this game and was greatly exposed
1.Bad snaps
2.playing to much man against motion heavy teams
3.Milroe inability to read defenses pre snap
Ppl you have to understand the reason Michigan Dline was getting to JMill so fast was because he was not identifing the pressure he was not and has not been able to recognize that all year long that’s why he struggled mightily against.. Texas, Arkansas, Auburn, and Georgia yes Georgia he did not play very well that game but there were other factors that lead to that win.. Michigan had a long enough layoff to make Bama look like the Texas team and played sloppy and still won they should’ve beaten us by at 21 points
I keep hoping Saban tells Milroe it would be best for him to hit the portal. I don't agree with BOB but he needs to change positions.
@@fermisparadox01Bob was right lol
Michigan also dialed up stunts with combination of delayed blitzes if you can’t step up to throw in the pocket affects the deep pass which was what you had to take away from bama
Bro has a michigan fan no team in college football is beating Alabama by 3 tds maybe 2 maybe
@@flaver820Clemson just entered the chat 🤦
I don’t understand how bama could play their best game of the year against us and then not be able to play close to that level against Michigan
I think it’s the month away from football. Both Michigan and Alabama looked terrible out there. There was a lot of mistakes on both teams offenses/special teams that game.
That's because styles make fights. Michigan was the better team but the coaching style didn't allow bama to play there "best" game. Michigan dominated the trenches and it wasn't even close. They were getting after Milroe especially in the first half unlike anything Bama had seen all year. Georgia could not contain him in the pocket while Michigan did a marvelous job outside a couple great QB runs. Alabama had to literally scheme the QB run plays because he couldn't get out the pocket.
@TH-li7lj yeah hopefully the expanded playoffs next year tightens up that layover. It has to be difficult for some guys once they slowdown for an extended period to be able to be 100% prepared and ready after that long break.
Man they have been inconsistent as hell all year. The Oline would have a good game, then a bad one. Milroe hit the whole field against LSU. Couldn't hit the broad side of a barn the next game. Those bad snaps happened all season, every game. It was crazy. Honestly, Matt was right, we overachieved like a mother fkr.
@@TH-li7ljThat was the sloppiest game UM played since THC.
I enjoy your show matt. I subscribed early this season. I am a Michigan fan but I like your content and go there to keep tabs on the SEC. I enjoy all of college football. Thank you Matt.
Poetic justice: both undeserving teams bounced in semifinals. And painful at that. Absolutely two lovely endings! Go Noles! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Been a great season and hella props to Michigan💪actually excited for this national championship matchup🔥 Roll tide always
Preciate you giving Michigan credit as a Michigan fan that’s been watching the channel
Matt you’re a good guy, always enjoy your show! I’m in NYC and graduated UofM class of ‘85. It has been too long for the Michigan faithful. Bama has been spoiled by greatness for a long time. Great game and it lived up to the hype of two blue bloods. Michigan = America’s team Bet and Go Blue! 〽️
Sorry, not America's team! Michigan played good enough to win, but not America's team
Cheats. Barely beat a real shitty Bama team last night at that...
America's team my ass! F that!
That was a great game yesterday! Wow! An instant classic
Props for making this video.
This is why I love the channel.
I'm not a Bama fan, but these Milroe haters need to shut up.
Everything went Alabama’s way, somehow Michigan switched the momentum at the very end, I thought it was very impressive.
Matt thanks for the respect for my team. They dominated the first half and gave it away at the same time.
Don’t worry you’ll get over the sadness, took me a minute for that TCU crap show.
Yall couldn't cheat against them lol. They were ready for it.
Cheating excuse is irrelevant, we didn't cheat this year and we still won so it doesn't matter
When IT MATTERED MOST the BIG 10 CONFERENCE DOMINATED the SEC in BOTH playoff games!!! 2 legit awesome games
I was guilty of having Bama fan overconfidence. This is a real phenomenon that I blame on consistent winning. 10 minutes in I remembered that we in fact suck lol. Roll Tide.
Big respect Matt great game was having a heart attack the whole 2nd half and OT -Michigan fan
This team has come so far and improved immensely. Michigan just executed where Alabama didn’t. Congrats to Michigan. Roll tide always.
Bro had to wait until 4am to get the tears under control
How fast was you last year. To get back on social media. After your loss to TCU.
Almost willing to bet. It was day's after. But IDK.
@@trumpershaveblinderson7470 “oh last year last year” have fun living in the past bozo cause ya’ll suck this year 🤣
@@doerdletfg Since Bama sucks. What does that make Michigan? Y'all had to come from behind and win in OT. Guess Michigan isn't good either.
So you avoided my question. So it was day's after 😂
And calling me Bozo 😂. With a picture like that to rep you. Ahh man the irony behind that.
@@trumpershaveblinderson7470 you’re definitely a bozo if you can’t understand that the losing team sucks and the winning team doesn’t. In fact you get the double bozo ding dong crown. Wear it proudly while you ponder the downfall of your sucky team and conference!
Great game Matt...GO BLUE... but let's tell the real this game could have went either way ... could have started as a run away if the first INT counts. The Bama center needed to work on his snaps.. never seen a clip of them working on that once.this was like watching the 2000 game. At the end of the day Saban still top dawg coach and watch Bama come back even more scarier.. yall already got domani jackson
Tough loss, bruh. I like your content, I'm #UGA fan. Some other Bama fans got too arrogant and still talking bout us. You kept this video bout this game, and I respect that.
Yeah as a bama fan… please ignore the loud minority of clowns in our fandom. Cant wait to see yall next year, man! Roll tide.
@@coolraygaming oh yeah we need to run that back, but Bama n UGA best game by far
Matt- I have to give you credit. This was a classy response and some nice comments about Michigan and their fans.
Michigan fan here. I appreciate your content. Clearly, you are a fan of your team. But your takes are good overall.
In the next game, Penix is a better QB than Milroe (at this stage). I’m interested in your takes on 2 things: (1) Are Washington’s receivers faster/better than the Bama receivers that Michigan held in check; and (2) How does Washington’s pass rush compare to Bama’s.
On point 2, I thought Bama had some elite edges, but Michigan’s OL largely neutralized them.
Proud of my guys. I know your pain as a fan. I look forward to more of your content.
Much love Matt, Alabama and coach Saban will go down in history as one of the greatest dynasties not just in CFB but in sports in general, we stole this one and it feels fantastic, very stressful and it was a great game. One more game, time to go beat Washington GoBlue!〽️
Yo Matt, I'm happy as hell Alabama loss all the way from Cambodia
Volunteer fan here! Was pulling for Bama hard and heavy. Bama beat themselves. They are a lot better than Michigan. Sorry for the loss brother
That qb yall have is special, he's going to give everyone a fit ,especially us! Roll Tide.
On special teams, absolutely Bama was better. But on offense and defense, Michigan was pretty easily better.
True, Tennessee looked really good with that freshman qb
@leslieford8132 Hopefully he will get us (Tennessee) back in contention for a National title 🙏
Man to man..Losing is a terrible thing and you feel rejected dejected and it's the most terrible feeling in world. Now you understand what it's like to be a Georgia fan,and lose in OT. That feeling sucks!
I agree, but Bama fans know the feeling before yesterday too. We lost at LSU in OT last season on a 2-pt conversion
@@sectruth1457 Playoffs carry lot more meaning..Right? The feeling is deeper. Georgia in the national championship 26-23. After winning all game...That absolutely crushed my soul. Lol
its 3:37 am for me thank god i stood up for this #mattberaging
“we got haters around the globe” ahh video 😭😭
Damn; Haters in Zimbabwe is tough. Anyway, I love you Matt. You're my favorite Channel for College Football commentary.
I was born in Florence Alabama but live in Michigan. Great respect to you for saying we played a great game. We are so proud of our Wolverines.
The snaps really bit us
coming from a michigan household, rooting for alabama was a bold move and it was fun moment to experience, sucks it resulted like that but i’m happy for both teams honestly (alabama showed that they can still compete wit 1 loss and michigan finally getting the recognition they deserve)
Thank you man we really appreciate that GO BLUE BEAT WASHINGTON
Matty bro was fun watching you lose your mind over Bama.. shoutout from Papua New Guinea🇵🇬 GO BLUE
I'm ngl Matt, when they announced the top 4 teams I was excited because a win versus Bama, was going to mean so much more than a win versus Tate Rodemaker. That game delivered and I genuinely felt bad that to advance, we had to end Bama's first "nobody believed in us" season in a long time. Could not have asked to share that Rose Bowl experience with a better fanbase and I thank Alabama for treating us all to the game of my life. No sarcasm, the hitting alone in that game rekindled my passion for football.
As a Georgia fan, I hate Alabama and their fanbase and shed a tear of joy when they lost. Having said that, I always respected you Matt. You've always been fair and never trolled others. You're the only reason why I haven't completely gone to the Darkside when it comes to hating Bama. Part of me wishes BAMA would have won because them losing reflects poorly on the SEC. I feel like a healthy Georgia would have beat Michigan.
bros salty georgia sucks
Best way to start our morning
Love your analysis of games. You pretty much nailed everything I was thinking about this game. I got nothing to add other than, good game. That was a thriller.
Next week vs Washington? Expect a DIFFERENT UM team than this game. We had guys trying to do too much, trying to win the game on 1 play, too much cutesy plays that blew up... Part of it, was being nervous about playing Saban "with a month to prepare" and a plethora of 5-star players, and thinking we HAD TO do that. (Turns out we didn't.) Now we know: doing what we do, is enough. We will go back to being patient and playing simple, Harbaugh, smash-mouth football. Can't wait for the challenge of Penix and Co.!
#goblue〽
I've been a fan of the channel since last season, and i love your takes. I'm hopingn you can give Washington the respect they deserve.
As I Michigan fan I was apprehensive about this game because Alabama has been the standard bearer for college football for a long time and has demonstrated an uncanny knack for finding a way to win, as recently displayed against Auburn. This game could have gone either way but despite the horrible special teams play from Michigan, Bama made mistakes of their own and Michigan prevailed in the end. I know Bama has had a very high standard but 12-2 is nothing to be ashamed of.
Honestly, Matt, I'm verrrry troubled by this loss. Very troubled. Think about where we are as a program right now. We're losing to Texas and Michigan for Chrissakes! Let that sink in: Texas. and. Michigan. That's who's beating us now.
Not Tim Tebow's Florida teams or DeShaun Watson's Clemson teams or Joe Burrow's LSU teams. Not even wacky, once-in-a-blue-moon Kick Six black magic in Jordan Hare Stadium. No, Texas and Michigan are who's beating us now. We've got some serious problems to address.
You can still be proud of this team if you want, Matt. I'm not. Nothing I witnessed yesterday leaves me swelling with pride as an Alabama fan. Our offensive line is utterly atrocious. Our QB is a frontrunner who's easily rattled and will crumble under pressure once he's been sacked a couple times. Our player development needs to be reevaluated because we're clearly not maximizing the talent we've recruited.
I'm not gonna come on here and join in the choir of Alabama fans fellating this year's team for still winning the SEC after the way we started in September. I'm not gonna say this was a great coaching job by Nick Saban. Because, quite frankly, I don't believe any of that holds up to scrutiny. No, I'm going to be brutally honest about where Alabama football now finds itself. We're not an elite program anymore. We're a good program, sure, but we're not a national championship program anymore.
Again: Texas and Michigan. That's who's beating us nowadays. Texas and Michigan...
A lot of the sloppy play can be attributed to the fact that these guys sit for a month before playing these games. Look when most of the upsets happen; first game of a season and right after a bye.
Wear the hate like a badge. We've (Michigan) had it all year. Screw em. And good on you for not watching ESPN.
Thanks for your honesty bro!
Another good video. Congrats on a great season.
You're humbly honest, Matt. We, Michigan fans, appreciate that. Humility before honor. I'm hoping all Michigan fans stay humble as well. Great game. Alabama has always been great. there are no exceptions here this year as well. Congrats for a great season.
The respect between fan bases was equal brother! Amazing classic game and I’m just glad big blue made it through!
I’ve learned a lesson through my life as a Georgia fan. Got to look at the overall. Georgia didn’t win the natty this year, but you can’t win every year. We have a good team coming back. There is always haters and always challenges. A true fan would react the same way you did. You are a true ride or die fan.
Been a hell of a ride. Go Blue appreciate ur honesty #MattbeSad
Great recap, and great humility in the loss. As a Michigan fan, I would have been sick had we blown that game, But if we would have, it'd have been our fault. Unlike the Lions loss to the Cowboys, which I'm still fuming about. NFL is rigged. Can't wait to see the championship with the two undefeateds!
I don't watch the NFL anymore. Was so turned off seeing multi-millionaire players disrespecting our National Anthem that I stopped watching. Have read several times that the NFL is rigged. Must be something to it. That's a way to destroy the NFL. They can't be stupid enough to not realize that.
as a lions fan we always get screwed by the refs. typical activity
Roll Tide here but I'm still rattled about the lions being robbed.
fr. normally the nfl waits until the playoffs start to start the bs, so that fans will forgive it by next year. now playoff viewership gonna be down.
Michigan fans respect the legacy of Alabama. I thought we'd lose because we'd get overconfident after shutting out a PATHETIC Iowa team. It did not prepare us to play an actual good team like the Crimson Tide!!
Congrats to UM. They earned that game. We have had great experiences with UM fans all over. The blue blood fan bases just know how to behave, unlike the Johnny come lately (ahem, Clemson fans…ugh) fans that act like arses every time we see them at games.
I'm from South Africa and I'm a Bama fan. Both losses got a brother shook over here.
The only difference between Georgia losing to Alabama and Alabama losing to Michigan was the fact that, as a Georgia fan, I knew we lost the game halfway through the 4th quarter. I told my brother, "If Bama gets a touchdown here, we lose. Too many 1 in 1000 chance things have to happen for us to win."
Michigan fan here !
Idc that your a bama fan…u are my go to for college football game breakdowns and news !
Instant classic Rose Bowl !
We gone have to get Tommy some more experience with his game feel. ROLL tide
Great game Matt it was a battle and we shot ourselves in the foot on special teams but Michigan prevails! We’ve been on your side of it the last 2 years we know your pain 😅
I agree with a lot of your points, Matt. Let me ask the question that I can’t give myself the answer to. With all of our four star and five star recruits how do we still manage to look so sloppy? There should be enough talented people on the field for us that these mistakes shouldn’t be happening.
Good Game Matt, I know I gave you hell on Twitter/X about you saying Corum wasn't going to be able to run the ball vs Alabama but it's just banter. Much love and Go Blue
What happened to the play calling? Bama was running the ball for chunk plays over and over then bubble screens and passes to the sidelines that killed drives. I thought I was watching my Hogs. Play to Lose. Offensive coordinator choked in the 4th
Man I get that feeling. When OSU was up 14 on UGA twice but couldn’t do it, I was just sad. Most heartbreaking loss. It was even worse than the Michigan games cus you just knew, if we win that we get a Natty. The Michigan games just made me mad.
Blake the Great, told you to put some respect on our name. Now what they gone say, 2 big ten schools in championship lol that move to bring in Washington looking real good 😂
"we got haters in Zimbabwe" im dead
I feel the pain. As a Buckeye fan that lost by an interception on the final drive that could've won the game against the Wolverines.
Hard fought game you guys over performed expectations this year and got yourself a young team that will be unbelievable going forward: Go Blue!
#mattbehumbled love to see how your narratives change when it comes to bama losing. Bama learned the difference between given and earned
Great analysis and a very fair assessment. Congrats to Michigan for their great win, coming from a Bama fan. Well done Wolverines!
"What!? We got haters in ZIMBABWE?"
funniest thing ive heard in 2024
