If Northwestern covered, people would be rioting. Most people were on OSU, therefore it isn't one of the biggest "bad beats" of all time.

[ThaTopMoron]

and that is why I bet the ML for Ohio State in a 2 team parlay

tough road game environment vs ranked squad who fights hard

and that is the reason I laid -6.5 on Buckeyes last week vs Wisky.... 1st big 10 game @ home.

Miller from last week to tonight looked day and night... that is big when it comes to capping a team

Nice now you got Will2 going, need to get that oxygen mask on pal

Ties lose!

You people who think Brent Musburger gave a shit one way or the other obviously don't watch many Musburger games. He's cognizant of the point spread, as is Herbstreit, but it doesn't mean he has a dog in the fight. I've seen countless games where Musburger or other broadcasters make subtle allusions to the point spread near the end of the game....nothing new. Plenty of games, during garbage time, I've heard something along the lines of "Well that touchdown there means a lot to SOME people," if the touchdown affected the spread outcome. I'm pretty sure it's against policy to have money riding on a game your calling, as it would severely compromise your ability to call it objectively.

WTF are you talking about?

That post makes zero sense.

Al Michaels does it all the time. During the Stanford game halftime show on ESPN, the studio guys showed that final play and as the players were scrambling for the ball, the studio announcer said "All across America, people were yelling COVER IT!!! CO-VER-IT!!!!!!!" Lou Holtz and Mark May had a little chuckle at that.

i agree, a bad beat is a bad beat.

If Northwestern made a miraculous cover like OSU, people would be going crazy because most people bet on Ohio State. People benefitted from the late TD;make sense?

It is considered a bad beat but would be much worse if most people were on Northwestern. Like someone said, they were covering the spread for the entire game easily.

Yup, Al Michaels does it a lot.....it's naïve to believe that sportscasters aren't cognizant of the significance of the point spread. But it's foolish to believe that Musburger lost money on the outcome simply because he made mention of it.

Had NW OVER 12.5 2H...shiiiit, I knew the line looked too easy. That last hallapallooza circus play must of ruined some nights...

A lot of people had Northwestern too.

It was a horrific beat.

OSU wasn't covering the entire game and was in jeopardy of losing and then they cover like that.

It was a terrible beat.

This wasn't like a normal back door TD. Where a team is down 10-14 points and get a meaningless TD. As they are on offense and even down 10-14 they should be trying to score. If anything to get the Offense on track etc.

This was a game NW had the ball with 5 seconds left and a moron fired a Warren moon laser pitch to a guy 2 feet from him that bounced around in the end zone which was covered by Ohio st giving them the cover with no time on the clock lol.....

Are you high?

[Eddy Munny]

For sure it was a bad beat.......this one goes down in the Bad Beat Hall of Fame. Doesn't matter what side the majority was on. If just one guy had Northwestern +7, you can rest assure that for him, it was a terrible fukking beat.

Oh I don't think he had any money on it. These days, announcers are strictly forbidden from gambling. He would lose his job. But I tell ya this.... I do remember watching MNF back when it was Frank and Al and Dan. They were reminiscing about a MNF game from the 70's or something like that, and they were joking about how Don Meredith was in a bad mood announcing that game.... so Frank Gifford said "I think Don was laying the points that night"

Yeah, I don't know what that idiot was thinking. I can understand Northwestern trying to pop a miracle, but how bout a pitch? Not a frozen rope.

I wasn't implying that you in particular thought he had money on it. I was responding to the handful of others in this thread who seem to think that was the case. They acted like it was the first time an announcer has hinted at the pointspread on air.....it's rather commonplace if you've seen enough football.

Are you high?

I didn't bet the game. Did you lose? It's a bad beat. Are you happy? I'm just saying that OSU didn't deserve the cover and most people were on OSU. Sad for NU backers.

He may not have had any money on that game, I do not know. He is however a south florida guy who plays big action, that I know.

Yes and his handle here is Lemart

A horrific beat is a horrific beat, regardless of who "the public" was on.

This was a horrific beat.

[SBRMAN23]

[rcene]

After sportscenter showed the highlights of the game. Espn host said the ending of that game led to a 300 million dollar swing in Vegas

guess my $4480 swing is peanuts but damn it feels like a million to me right now....i actually had changed the channel and didnt even find out i lost till like 15 min later when i logged back into my acct

[bubblebuttluv]

I'm just glad I had OSU moneyline.

But this really was a horrible beat.

Like second worst in football I know of recently, second only to the "fail-mary" after which I am sure a number of people probably blew their brains out.

[thechaoz]

Are you shitting me? This was pricks team thought I had him at 2-1...wtf...I don't even wanna know fuk it I'll never beat the guy

[Art Vandelay]

That was criminal! I hate when the team I have tries that lateral crap at the end of a game. It never works and ends very badly sometimes... like tonight.

[Ernie Mccracken]

Get under the bed!!

[booksbroker]

Have ohio in 2 of my parlay.... Cash in on parlay 3.. My other parlay still alive... Woooot......
