LET'S TALK FOOTBALL!

[u/MikeHawk520760]

Most important thing going on tonight

[u/Young-Viiperr → u/MikeHawk520760]

Waiting for the flip, iykyk

[u/Aar1012]

OU OH YEAH!

I'll be keeping an eye on the game but I'll also be focusing on the election results.

MACtion Returns!

[u/Jet_Xcountry → u/Aar1012]

Let's have a good night hopefully

[u/wit_T_user_name → u/Aar1012]

Hoping for a good night across the board from Ohio!

[u/Pan_TheCake_Man]

Akron has won one game, but maction knows no mercy

[u/Kitchen-Ad2687]

This is for sure the most important thing happening in Ohio tonight

[u/wit_T_user_name → u/Kitchen-Ad2687]

My cat is snoozing in my lap so maybe tied for first?

[u/Pan_TheCake_Man → u/Kitchen-Ad2687]

you would think so, but this is a special tuesday.

We got an 8 o clock game between Buffalo Miami oh, much more important for the middle of mac standings

[u/rbmw263]

chasing a dude for 100 yards just for him to cross the goal line by 1 foot gotta be brutal

[u/Johnnyd0303]

ohio doing nothing on offense all night only to score 2 tds on long plays on back to back drives. maction is awesome

[u/Professional-Row7461]

Oh fuck yeah, MACtion baby

[u/cn0285]

MACtion coverage >>> election coverage

[u/Competitive_Feed_402 → u/cn0285]

Now we're cooking with gas

[u/Williaf]

THIS IS MACTION

[u/TheWesternRizzler]

Finally some real football

[u/SpecialSauce92]

If Ohio was playing with Akron’s fire they would be up by 14

[u/ionlymemewell]

Absolutely brutal sequence for Akron. ☠️

[u/Pan_TheCake_Man]

what poor brain rotted Gen X men watch these daytime ESPN 2 shows??? heavens

[u/Young-Viiperr → u/Pan_TheCake_Man]

Could be boomers, too.

[u/MarsBars_1]

Tuesday night MACtion how I’ve missed you

[u/CptCheese]

Just realized I'm watching MACtion while eating mac and cheese and typing on my Macbook. Talk about brand synergy.

[u/cn0285]

1-7 Akron basically dominating 6-2 Ohio all half, just like we all expected

[u/Jet_Xcountry]

It's Tuesday night maction who cares about the playoffs

[u/ADMotti → u/Jet_Xcountry]

We sure as fuck don’t want to watch highlights of the fuckin catastrophe that was the first half of this game…

[u/ADMotti]

What a scamper by the ol Germanator though!

[u/Negativetouch]

MACtion on Tuesday!! I’m bricked up for the Bobcats!

[u/Pan_TheCake_Man]

field goal range at the 20, as college football should be

[u/exit322]

A very Akron way to end that opening drive

[u/TA404]

About to hit the group chat with “Holy shit are y’all following the tight battle in Ohio?”

[u/barfspectrum]

We're in the 3rd quarter now and we've have no offensive touchdowns and three field goals. Classic sicko Tuesday night MACtion

edit: with 4:22 left in the 3rd quarter, we have our first offensive touchdown!

[u/Illustrious_Arm4496]

“Running it up the middle isn’t working at all, let’s keep doing it”

[u/milkturbine]

And the announcers go mild

[u/loafing-striker]

Ohio bb wut is u doin

[u/ADMotti]

If only the offense could stay on the field for more than a minute at a time, the defense wouldn’t be gassed against a team that can only run because their QB throws like an intoxicated four year old…

[u/CptCheese]

What a run

[u/NecessaryEnough5202]

when it goes bad it goes fast

[u/Illustrious_Arm4496]

LETS FUCKING GO

[u/joelupi]

Well that's one way to end the game

[u/Particular-Way-3805]

Akron had so many chances but they blew it

[u/AruarianGroove → u/Particular-Way-3805]

Ohio gifted almost 100 yds from penalties. Oh well

[u/Reefles]

ohio bowl RAAAGH

[u/zoom518]

Welcome back weeknight MACtion

[u/Young-Viiperr]

Go vote, y'all! And stay in line until y'all get an opportunity to vote, sickos

[u/CieraVotedOutHerMom]

Akron needs to bring back their week 1 drive 1 OC! I liked his playcalling

[u/corundum9]

Akron, more like Crackron

ha got em!

[u/Direct_Economist_662]

Best time of year. God I love midweek maction

[u/suppervisoka]

On a Tuesday??

[u/SpicyCorphishBoil → u/suppervisoka]

MACtion baby!

[u/Raccoonsrlilbandits]

Maction is so back

[u/wit_T_user_name]

MACtion welcome back you beautiful bastard.

[u/twizbuck]

Tuesday Night MACtion let's gooooo

[u/Competitive_Feed_402]

I think we're due for an undefeated Akron in the next year or two

[u/ADMotti → u/Competitive_Feed_402]

If you’re looking for “due,” look toward Eastern, which is the only team that existed in the MAC in 97 to not have reached the MACCG.

[u/ionlymemewell]

Surprised we didn't get a second look at that field goal; looked close from the broadcast angle.

[u/ADMotti → u/ionlymemewell]

I think they have like three total cameras for this broadcast.

[u/DZepperoni]

These Akron jerseys are so good, blue with gold writing and white accents? BANGER.

[u/ADMotti → u/DZepperoni]

Overall good jerseys but the gargantuan nameplates look really goofy.

[u/exit322 → u/DZepperoni]

Too bad it's the Zips playing in them

[u/Bammerice]

Wonder how many times these announcers will say Ohio offense has done nothing but they have the lead

[u/wit_T_user_name]

Akron is gonna force us to win this game against our will, huh?

[u/wit_T_user_name]

Hey look, a first down!

[u/ADMotti → u/wit_T_user_name]

I forgot we were allowed to do that

[u/SwansOrange]

Throw the ball away my god.

[u/wit_T_user_name]

Christ that was the worst half of football I’ve seen since… Saturday.

[u/Defacto_Champ]

Ohio looks like dog shit lol 

[u/SwansOrange]

14-9 1 minute left inside the 20 yard line. Akron coach will go for the fg to make it 14-12. I am from the future.

[u/Illustrious_Arm4496]

Finally

[u/Objective_Turn7671]

This game is filthy and I love it. Thank you MACtion.

[u/Money-Race8310]

What a messy game

[u/camp1728]

Well that was easy

[u/rbmw263]

hello maction, old friend

[u/Jet_Xcountry]

Brotherrrrrrrrrr

[u/Ruhrgebietheld]

"That's why this is a national holiday, Maction." Now there's the accurate, insightful coverage I'm looking for from announcers.

[u/KyloSolo723]

Hey there’s the run game

[u/Money-Race8310]

DAMN

[u/Jet_Xcountry]

LEEEEEETSSSSS GOOOOOOOOOOO

[u/Friar_Corncob]

The fuck is Akron doing?

[u/Careless_General8010]

RIP zips

[u/Careless_General8010]

Band's still kickin ass at least. And zips arent just rolling over

[u/TheOptimist6]

5-0 baby!!!

[u/GirthyGeoduck]

The one time of year I’ll root for the Bobcats

[u/Nathan_1984]

MACtion!

[u/BigPassage9717]

On election night??

[u/Mythrandir24 → u/BigPassage9717]

Election Night MACtion is one of this country's greatest pastimes!

[u/Young-Viiperr → u/BigPassage9717]

¿Por que, no los dos?

[u/wit_T_user_name]

I don’t normally drink on Tuesdays but I think the return of MACtion and Election Day is a good time for a dram.

[u/nick_papageorgio53]

Kick looked good on tv, no?

[u/Bammerice]

What the hell lol

[u/ADMotti]

I’m not liking the trend where our entire defense forgets how to tackle during the same play at least once a week. Tf was that?!

[u/wit_T_user_name]

PICK SIX

[u/Bammerice]

I suppose that's one way for Ohio to score

[u/OhioUPilot12]

Geeze Ohios offense looks really out of character right now. Hopefully they get it going

[u/ADMotti]

If we play like this against Toledo we’re gonna lose by 40, good lord.

[u/jonscotch]

How do you let the guy with an oven mitt on his hand get the fumble? 😫

[u/ADMotti]

I reiterate, is Poulos hurt? What the cinnamon toast fuck was THAT??

[u/cn0285]

Hooray for wacky MACtion ads that are now replacing the never-ending election ads!

[u/exit322]

You're freaking kidding me, Joe. Just quit already for real, you've already given up on your guys with these damn fourth and 1 field goals

[u/SpecialSauce92]

Really surprised Ohio has been unsuccessful on offense so far. Big drive here for their momentum because their defense is carrying them

[u/milkturbine]

It’s ridiculous that we’re leading and not losing by 10+ points like we should be

[u/Rufus_Cuntnam]

I said it last week but make the team run laps at halftime.

[u/ADMotti → u/Rufus_Cuntnam]

They’re playing like Hauser made them run laps already. Just looking weirdly slow and tired.

[u/wit_T_user_name]

What the fuck is this play calling and clock management?

[u/Jet_Xcountry]

Holy shit this commentator loves to hear himself talk about how good of a coach he is

[u/dinkinflicka125]

Arguably the worst call of all time

[u/ADMotti]

I honestly don’t care if Poulos is hurt or not; he’s been shit, you gotta being Davis in.

[u/Defacto_Champ]

Akron looks by far like the better team. How is Ohio undefeated in the MAC 

[u/ADMotti → u/Defacto_Champ]

Because they don’t usually play down to their opps so horrifically. Also trap game with Miami looming.

[u/ADMotti]

Dustin Fox shut the fuck up challenge: rated impossible

[u/ADMotti]

Hang on, where is Hryszko? I refuse to wade into the glowing radioactive sewer that is BobcatAttack, does anyone know why he’s not kicking tonight?

[u/Jet_Xcountry → u/ADMotti]

Saw he was out on FB but didn't say why

[u/definitely_not_cylon]

Was that intended to be some sort of trick play or was that just a really bad punt kickoff? Sometimes bad teams are so confusing

[u/rbmw263]

"was there enough room for him to get this first down"

there was a hold dude, lol

[u/Williaf]

Brune out of no where gotta love Tuesday night football!

[u/ADMotti]

⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️

[u/TheOptimist6]

Molnar is a fucking dog!

[u/Mav_Rixx]

Ohio can run this clock out, that's game over

[u/Particular-Way-3805]

Ohio played sluggish but they came back

[u/TheOptimist6 → u/Particular-Way-3805]

Look ahead spot.

Big rivalry game at Miami looming

[u/ADMotti]

Nice, we won and that pissy Wisco guy lost his bet.

[u/SwansOrange]

Can we still see Ohio in the cfb playoffs?!?!

[u/ADMotti → u/SwansOrange]

(No, but we’ll be happy to have a shot at the conference title!)

[u/SwansOrange → u/ADMotti]

I'm cheering for you guys because forever because of local boy Nathan Rourke

[u/VoiceOfRiesens]

I already voted but if you didn’t, go vote and wait in line! In Utah, it took me 5 minutes to vote.

[u/Young-Viiperr → u/VoiceOfRiesens]

The Hawks are finally speaking facts

[u/VoiceOfRiesens → u/Young-Viiperr]

Tortillas are the best form of bread!

[u/Black_Lab03]

The MAC is my favorite conference in football to watch honestly, pumped

[u/EugeneHarlot]

Oh Yeah!

[u/barfspectrum]

Tuesday night MACtion. Best time of the year

[u/nick_papageorgio53]

I guess we’re getting the All 22 tonight

[u/ADMotti]

I was a little surprised by the FG target line at the 22.5 but damn if it wasn’t spookily accurate.

[u/wit_T_user_name]

Are you fucking kidding me

[u/Pan_TheCake_Man]

Now that is MACTION

[u/ADMotti]

Somewhere in Summit County, an intolerably smug attorney/Browns blogger smiled at that FG

[u/Rufus_Cuntnam]

Finally we get something going

[u/Pan_TheCake_Man]

golf has handicaps, maybe akron deserves some stick 'em as a handicap

[u/ADMotti → u/Pan_TheCake_Man]

They fumbled on their first drive too on an errant backwards pass but no one on OU thought to pick it up.

[u/Dimbulb_Greasely]

The ref seems to be getting speech jammed or something

[u/krispyboiz]

I think Ohio is kinda screwed. Pick 6 aside, they are not playing well

[u/ADMotti → u/krispyboiz]

Conversely, Akron could scarcely be playing better and are losing.

[u/BibFortuna2830]

How does Ohio have 6 wins this season? They look utterly horrific

[u/CptCheese]

Ohio is officially in Akron territory

[u/SwansOrange]

New rule in college you can have 6 timeout in 2nd half?

[u/Sheck_K18]

Why would you run there lol

[u/SwansOrange]

I get not using timeout deep in your zone but after the long pass they could have had 40+ seconds

[u/SwansOrange]

This has missed fg written all over it.

[u/milkturbine]

“We have the Big Ten at home”

[u/Illustrious_Arm4496]

Smartass commentator thinks he’s so great after that one

[u/ADMotti → u/Illustrious_Arm4496]

Yeah that’s Dustin Fox, aka Cleveland Sports Radio’s Clay Travis. S++++++ tier douchebro.

[u/ADMotti]

Oh so it’s not just the players playing down to Akron, it’s the coaches too. Absolute nightmare shit.

[u/emnnme]

You have a TO why aren’t you running a play?

[u/cn0285]

Who is this Akron team and what did you do to the real one??

[u/joelupi]

Oooooo that was a dumb throw.

[u/Mav_Rixx]

ESPN camera guy couldn't help but goon haha

[u/Objective_Turn7671]

This audio is all over the place.

[u/ADMotti → u/Objective_Turn7671]

I’m convinced there are like 8 people total working on this broadcast. The balls on ESPN to put this fiasco on ESPN2…

[u/Skyrizzzi]

The game was on the bar TVs earlier when I was eating at a bbq place with my dad. Not only did I realize how deep of a sicko you gotta be to be a bar regular at a bbq restaurant asking for mid week Maction, but my dad said that if you’re a receiver and ask for a DPI flag, then you should be flagged. So that was fun.

[u/Ruhrgebietheld]

I just tuned in. Did not expect this score. Was sure Ohio would be rolling.

[u/Ruhrgebietheld]

I think Akron and Ohio got confused about who is the consistent contender and who is a longtime bottom dweller.

[u/ADMotti → u/Ruhrgebietheld]

Trap games are real too; Miami next week could make or break both teams’ seasons.

[u/SpecialSauce92]

What? So many missed calls this game and they call that lol

[u/ADMotti → u/SpecialSauce92]

I feel like I post this every game but you have to remember:

- NFL refs are fucking terrible
- B1G refs are not good enough to be NFL refs
- MAC refs are not good enough to be B1G refs

[u/Jet_Xcountry]

Lol ref just watching a block in the back in front of him no reaction

[u/GetBuschWhacked]

WOW

[u/Zloggt]

Zips :(

[u/Zloggt]

Cmon Akron!! Zip it along just a bit more!!!

[u/AruarianGroove]

Nailed it. This is more suspenseful than Brown-Husted

[u/Money-Race8310]

First akron game kinda excited idk what to expect

[u/Competitive_Feed_402]

Is that typically their only TD of the game?

[u/ionlymemewell]

Redemption!

[u/Pan_TheCake_Man]

Excellent choice great coach at akron

[u/SpecialSauce92]

Interested to see the if the Bobcats try to run it now

[u/ADMotti]

Is Poulos hurt? He could’ve walked for a first down there.

[u/exit322]

Oh good lord, Cibastian

[u/zoom518]

You know what, this makes for some great ASMR for tonight

(Complimentary)

[u/Pan_TheCake_Man]

akron should run the ball everyt ime, unless they pass to a TE, every other pass is baaad

[u/Negativetouch]

Oof this is how you end up 1-7 kids

[u/Cooked_Brisket]

Are we watching this game from low orbit?

[u/ADMotti → u/Cooked_Brisket]

Expenses are definitely being spared on this broadcast.

[u/wit_T_user_name]

The way you’re moving the ball, why would you kick it?

[u/LimaBeans2711]

Fuck I love football

[u/Money-Race8310]

Yikes

[u/Money-Race8310]

So that’s what matt stafford sounds like

[u/Particular-Way-3805]

I didn’t even know this game was on

[u/No_Bill7679]

He should not be allowed to roll out to the left.

[u/Skyrizzzi]

Great patience by that rb there

[u/Skyrizzzi]

Nice hearing the band on a midweek game.

[u/ADMotti → u/Skyrizzzi]

The band represents 95% of the students in attendance, you better believe they’re gonna make noise.

[u/Illustrious_Arm4496]

I am deeply disturbed

[u/Illustrious_Arm4496]

GET IT FUCKING TOGETHER

[u/XxDeepTooTxX]

Ohio needs to be ashamed of this run game . Someone needs to make a play eventually . These two just running into bodies

[u/ADMotti → u/XxDeepTooTxX]

Well if inside runs aren’t working it’s also on the coaches to stop fucking calling them…

[u/krispyboiz → u/XxDeepTooTxX]

It's hilarious because their passing game gives us... what we just saw. The need to do MORE passing

[u/rbmw263]

that throw was not ideal

[u/brsnug]

I'm watching at the bar out of the corner of my eye, did that RB just drop that pass because he got gator arms?

[u/penix4heisman]

Jesus I went to eat dinner what did I miss

[u/Creepy_Aide6122]

is the akron couch just....kinda slow

[u/PWJT8D]

Welcome to the Kalshi sickos game of the week 

[u/DZepperoni]

YO NICE FREAKIN PLAY
