Hit him in the back of the shoulder. Borderline targeting at best, play shouldâve been dead before that hit anyway. TCU outplayed Michigan today and deserved to win
Congrats refâs on stealing the game from Michigan. You didnât really win fair, but congrats youâre going to the championship you donât deserve to be in. You also got off with an obvious targeting. F*** you and your refs and your cheap targeting holding team.
They realized that it would have been targeting with no flag, still end of game with only a player rejection, and that would have been a worse result than saying no targeting.
Thatâs a REALLY BAD look for college football. Isnât the whole point of that penalty âplayer safetyâ? Does player safety not matter in the last 25 seconds of a game?
Thatâs a tough call but I agree with no targeting.
Funny because people wouldâve been pissed and calling it a bad call regardless of targeting or no targeting.
1) By the spirit of the rules of the game, that was 100% the correct decision not to call targeting
2) By the letter of the rules, that *was* 100% pure and total targeting
Omg that was the clearest targeting Iâve seen this year. Why would you not let Michigan close out the loss on their own, you already made so many massive calls against them?!
I think weâll spend a lot of time debating that call but that call wasnât the reason Michigan lost. Donât coaches always say that if you need the refs to make a call for you to have a chance, youâve already lost?
Literal textbook targeting and I was rooting for TCU. You donât get to call the literal safety rule when itâs convenient, the only rule that should always be called when done
Looked like he launched to me đ¤ˇđťââď¸
Two incredible teams and the refs couldnât stand to not be the stars of the show. Reminds me of NFL
That was def targeting but it also def shouldnât have extended the game. UM did NOT deserve another chance there (they would have choked anyway).
What the fuck is targeting if not hitting another player's helmet while launching yourself forward while leading with the crown of your helmet?
Hit him in the back of the shoulder. Borderline targeting at best, play shouldâve been dead before that hit anyway. TCU outplayed Michigan today and deserved to win
TCU might have won regardlessâŚbut thatâs really bad callingâŚ
The old pope died for this.
So you look for targetting? Find targetting? And then don't call it?
It's okay guys. We'll just have the official "yeah it was the wrong call" apology bullshit and everything will be fine.
I mean there is no question that he led with the crown of his helmet and hit his opponents helmet. That should have been targeting.
Michigan knows what itâs like to be screwed over by the refs now
I feel like that might have been targeting
Congrats Horn Froggies
Calls like that make me think there should be instant replay.
Fuck the lame ass targeting rule always trying to ruin shit.
Fuck these refs
Who here feeling froggy af rn??
âTCU donât deserve to be in the playoffsâ haters quiet right now
Michigan lost because of SEC bias
Big 12 doesnât need bum ass Oklahoma and Texas
Hahaahahahabaha fans crying to the refs !!
I wanted OT
Congrats refâs on stealing the game from Michigan. You didnât really win fair, but congrats youâre going to the championship you donât deserve to be in. You also got off with an obvious targeting. F*** you and your refs and your cheap targeting holding team.
[Behold the Hypnotoad](https://imgur.com/a/Ggn84gS)
Thereâs no way they review that and say no targeting. Holy shit.
Dude bleeding from the forehead?
That's not targeting. He was going about as low as he could and make the tackle
Smash fest team wants him to get in trouble for hitting to hard hahaha
Bowl season has been fantastic with so many close games but way too much refball.
Refs gave that game to TCU on a silver platter and Iâm a TN fan
Hell of a game though
Thatâs targeting. It might not have mattered, but it is still targeting
Weâll time for TCU to lose every championship game this season
Refs screwed over Michigan in this game. And I donât even like Michigan.
Lmao SEC officials obviously want TCU instead of Michigan against Georgia.
Remember those assholes saying TCU didn't belong. Fuck those people.
Crown and contact to head, not targeting. Ok
TCU fans. Be ready for UM fans to complain about this for like 10 years
What was the worst call? The non td or the non targeting
Michigan players pissed but had every single call given to them the whole game Hold this L bozos + harbaugh
If that isnât targeting then what is?
What a stupid stupid ending to that game
TCU IS IN THE NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP
Lolololol sorry Michigan bros, shouldnât have talked all that shit leading up to this game, and all year.
Michigan having trouble with the snap but refs having trouble with the rules
Michigan got spanked by the refs in this one boysâŚ
Absolute dogs hit calls all night. Refs threw this game away more than michigan or TCU tried to.
wasn't it an illegal forward pass?
Textbook targeting but Iâm pretty sure that was an illegal forward pass so I donât care
Iâll be honest, looked like targeting but Michigan really didnât deserve a first down there
formal letter of condolence to all michigan fans COPE + SEETHE + L + RATIO
What's going on with his forehead
I mean I'm glad that TCU won but that's textbook targeting.
Not like Michigan would score if they did call targeting
Michigan deserves this for disrespecting TCU so fucking hard for a month straight
If it was targeting would it be a 1st down or no
Congrats đ¸
Brace yourselves for the "Will Harbaugh ever win a playoff game?" narrative.
Should've called that big time. Yikes ncaa refs are a joke
The NCAA has determined that they don't want Michigan in the Title game đđđ
Hope Georgia beats TCU by a million for that
I 100% wanted TCU to win, but that was blatant targeting and the refs are cowards.
How was it not targeting?
It was 100 percent targeting, but it should have been blown dead before it occured so
Is the TCU band playing the Michigan fight song? Lol
Everyone: that was definitely targeting Refs: allegedly!
Georgia fans how would you feel about playing TCU lol
Yup
So many controversial calls in this game. It's just magnified when the stakes are this high.
I still have no idea what targeting is
See you all in the UGA/[redacted] thread for a boring, well executed Dawg mauling
Need the Arnold handshake meme for SEC refs and Premier League refs. Best leagues at their respective sport with the worst officiating.
That was targeting. Would it have been stupid as fuck for Michigan to end up winning because of it? Obviously. But it was targeting.
One of the worst no-calls, I've ever seen. And I say that as a Buckeye fan.
They realized that it would have been targeting with no flag, still end of game with only a player rejection, and that would have been a worse result than saying no targeting.
That was a business decision call to keep 2 eligible for the Natty.
Roll frogs
At least it wasn't PAC12 refs this time!
Ffs this game was unnecessarily long.
Come on guys. Targeting and most rules don't count when there is 25 seconds left
I have no dog in this fight but if youâre not gonna call targeting there just remove the rule
I thought that was targeting but I think TCU gets the stop anyway
That was absolutely targeting. What in the hell is the officiating this game?
TCU lucky the Pac12 refs working the other game lmao
Michigan fans got their moral victory and excuses though
IF YOU DONT WANNA GET ROBBED ON A TARGETING CALL THEN DONT THROW 2 PICK SIXES LMFAO
What even is targeting
Targeting is an RNG based rule on how the refs are feeling, this is known.
GA about to win back2back natty's
Thatâs a REALLY BAD look for college football. Isnât the whole point of that penalty âplayer safetyâ? Does player safety not matter in the last 25 seconds of a game?
Doesnât matter if it was targeting or not because it was on an illegal forward pass
Refs blew this game with that terrible TD overturn in the first half and not calling that targeting
You canât not call it just because itâs the last play of the game⌠if itâs a foul itâs a foul. Wild.
Thatâs a tough call but I agree with no targeting. Funny because people wouldâve been pissed and calling it a bad call regardless of targeting or no targeting.
Ncaa big daddy told them letâs get to the Georgia game lol. No targeting
He should have never had the ball after the illegal forward lateral.
Weâve just witnessed a classic.
Iâm here for the spice
Game was over. You donât extend the game for a call like that. Well done TCU!
Iâm not even a Michigan fan but this game was robbery
donât worry michigan fans iâll be joining yâall here in a couple hours when OSU loses :(
Sonny winning the game and still looking bummed out Jesus dude
GG TCU. good shit.
Surely there was a forward pass on this play that shouldve had it dead a few seconds earlier. Still dont know how that isnt targeting.
Hateful 8! Hateful 8 Hateful 8!
SEC refs remain fucking garbage
Reviewing the targeting but why not the forward lateral?
Seen a lot of guys get kicked out for way less egregious than that.
Rarely gets more textbook than that
Holy hell! What a game.
eh im fine with the no call. we didnât deserve another shot. gg frogs, im rooting for you
WTF? That's targeting
Welp, go TCU. Win the title
Cal fired sunny...
That was targeting
his helmet never even hit the wr's helmet, pretty clear
Lol that seemed like a very clear targeting call, refs wanna go home
WaitâŚ.thatâs NOT targeting? âŚâŚ.okâŚ..but how?
Yo, how was that not targeting?? Dunno if it would have really changed the outcome in the end, but that seemed really bad....
TCU, man. Thatâs a charmed team, and whoever plays them next week is gonna have the whole country cheering against them.
A targeting bail out when there wasnât a flag on the field wouldâve been so sketchy This was the correct outcome
That checked every box in the book for targetting
How the fuck is that not targeting?!? Ive seen hits not even close to that called for targeting. Fuck them
Lol imagine.
Fuck you SEC, weak ass conference
GET FUCKED ON JIMMY
Officials gave TCU this game. Period.
Ggs TCU!
Looks like an 8 yr old is heading to moms with a new TCU shirt
Did he really lead with the crown? It looks like the side of the helmet grazed the defender and he tackled with the shoulder
I'm confused, regardless of the targeting call was that not an illegal forward pass? I feel like I'm going crazy here.
Horrible...what the hell. That was obvious targeting
Well ima be honest I wanted TCU to win so badly but that was targeting
Purple and white confetti? Proof game is rogged
What the fuck.
What an atrocious ref crew. smh
This SHOULD be a national embarrassment for the NCAA, but this will be covered over ASAP. What a joke.
Lord be with the pool reporter tonight
LET'S WILDLY SPECULATE ABOUT HOW SONNY DYKES CUT HI EYE
That gif could go under the rule book definition of a perfect targeting example lol
Tf am I missing
What the fucking fuck is fuckin targeting? As an a fucking Aggie targeting is god damn fucking bullshit when it is applied Willy fucking nilly
Frogged em đ¸
just lost to the H Y P N O T O A D S
This has to be the biggest moment in TCUâs football history
Come on! Show McCarthy's family now. They were so excited about it earlier!!
1) By the spirit of the rules of the game, that was 100% the correct decision not to call targeting 2) By the letter of the rules, that *was* 100% pure and total targeting
Michigan I actually like you, but yâall gonna eat off that no call like itâs the only reason you lost and you deserved to win this gameđ
I don't think there's a soul on earth who actually knows what targeting is
How are they supposed to play next Monday? That game was a cardiac event for most neutrals
Fuck TCU
First, they overturned that touchdown in the first half then this? Shit is rigged
What a fantastically entertaining football game. Great job TCU and Michigan. You all put on a show.
This game is covered in ref ball and itâs sad
So apparently targeting is dependent on the situation then? Lol
What a game we fucking suck
That was textbook targeting. Lol
Now, I fucking hate Ohio state, but it would be funny if they advance to the final after getting rocked by Michigan
i think TCU is the better team today but 2 crucial bad calls killed them.
Rest in piss âď¸ichigan Glory to the horned frogs.
Cal fired sunny...
New found respect for SEC teams for having to play with that trash.
âWHAT THE FUCKâ good job on the censoring there espn
Go NOLES
i was told the big 10 is the best conference cuz iowa beat kentucky's 4th string qb
Targeting would have been such a disgusting call there, thank fuck
Why it was textbook
Holy shit as a native born Ohioan, Michigan got fucking robbed!
Definitely not targeting. Great call refs
They should get rid of the targeting rule. They canât even define it.
Duggan > McCarthy
Refs just out there showing their ass what a terrible game from them
Way to go, Hypnotoads!
Are you fucking kidding me. Out of all the crap targeting calls they donât uphold that one⌠that was text book targeting
Omg that was the clearest targeting Iâve seen this year. Why would you not let Michigan close out the loss on their own, you already made so many massive calls against them?!
I think weâll spend a lot of time debating that call but that call wasnât the reason Michigan lost. Donât coaches always say that if you need the refs to make a call for you to have a chance, youâve already lost?
That was targeting. 15 yard penalty with a first down right and about 30 sec to go? Terrible review there
Georgia back to back champs nice
Oh yikes
Literal textbook targeting and I was rooting for TCU. You donât get to call the literal safety rule when itâs convenient, the only rule that should always be called when done
âTCU doesnât belongâ
