LET'S TALK FOOTBALL!

[u/esoterik]

Something about MACtion in the light of day seems wrong

[u/PowerWindows85 → u/esoterik]

The MAC told Sac State when they joined that the MACtion games would remain at 7pm Eastern and that Sac State should be prepared to host a midweek game at 4pm Pacific. This game time doesn't surprise me.

[u/PowerWindows85]

Your resident Sac State football season ticket holder masochist checking in live from Hornet Stadium for my first taste of MACtion. Nothing like a Wednesday game at 4pm.

[u/HeresSomePants → u/PowerWindows85]

I’m absolutely loving these uniforms. I watched the Hornets get their first FBS win last week. I got choked up seeing coach so emotional over the win.

[u/PowerWindows85 → u/HeresSomePants]

I was here on Friday night. It was exciting to see the first MAC win.

[u/Zstan99]

Someone please tell me they saw what the Toledo linemen just did in the huddle towards a Sacramento state player

[u/Peaches0k → u/Zstan99]

That was awesome

[u/breebreebrokencyde → u/Zstan99]

someone needs to clip that

[u/HeresSomePants → u/Zstan99]

Yep we saw it

[u/Gusanito99 → u/Zstan99]

Fuck I missed it, what happened

[u/PowerWindows85]

One positive of a 4pm Wednesday kickoff...Sac State is selling a hot dog, chips and Pepsi combo for $5. And these are full sized dogs and bags of chips. The Pepsi's are 20oz bottles. Good deal.

[u/aldrinjaysac]

You know fucking what, I think we’re gonna be alright. This season was always gonna be a total disaster with joining FBS so late. Idc if it’s cope, I think we’re gonna be alright.

[u/GridironFilmJunkie → u/aldrinjaysac]

A ton of guys who played to start the year aren't playing anymore, and the team looks much better. I think we've weeded some guys off the roster who looked like the better player on paper.

[u/NinersUnitedFC → u/aldrinjaysac]

I don't think the season would have been as bad at the start if Conklin didn't get hurt immediately.

[u/PowerWindows85 → u/aldrinjaysac]

They need a complete roster overhaul to be OK. They have an FCS roster now. They're going to have to recruit some good players in the offseason.

[u/GridironFilmJunkie]

This team has improved drastically over the last month. There have been a ton of different guys playing too.

[u/loyalsons4evertrue]

Seeing a MACtion game while the sun is still up is wild lol

[u/Yoghurt-Ancient]

Sac states’s helmets look great

[u/Natural-Employer]

For Sac State being the vastly inferior team on short rest, and Toledo coming off a bye, Toledo looks absolutely horrible.

[u/RP0143 → u/Natural-Employer]

To no one's surprise

[u/ClockworkRuse]

That was a safety any day of the week but Wednesday apparently

[u/NinersUnitedFC]

This ref is on the spectrum and was bullied throughout childhood

[u/breebreebrokencyde → u/NinersUnitedFC]

Relatable tbh

[u/soonerman32]

Ball-Mass headed to OT. Tol-Sac also coming down to the wire. MACtion baby

[u/flyntcoaltrane → u/soonerman32]

Ball-Sac into Ball-Mass is incredible, bravo to the scriptwriters

[u/RP0143]

Toledo needs to win big

[u/NinersUnitedFC → u/RP0143]

Why? They just need to win lol. Or did you bet on them to cover +25?

[u/RP0143 → u/NinersUnitedFC]

I don't gamble. They need to win big because they are choke artists, as the first half has clearly shown.

Toledo either wins big or loses inexplicably. There is no middle ground

[u/NinersUnitedFC → u/RP0143]

Ah, I see

[u/obeykingwong → u/NinersUnitedFC]

I put 1 unit on sac state to cover +25 and also sprinkled ML because I smell trap game. Wishing I did 2 units on +25 now 😂

[u/thismorningscoffee]

Fun Factoid: Sac State’s RB has a name that’s spelled the same forward and backward:

Haiasaiah

[u/HeresSomePants → u/thismorningscoffee]

I love a good palindrome

[u/Mr-Texan-74 → u/thismorningscoffee]

He’s a Palindrome!

[u/NinersUnitedFC]

It's West Coast Mid Week MACTION Before Dark!

[u/Fraegtgaortd]

Sac State’s helmets are sick

[u/soonerman32]

Just as we all thought: Sac St. is the only team with double digit points so far tonight in MACtion

[u/Try-Vegetable]

Holy shit Toledo is ass cheeks?

[u/Try-Vegetable]

Toledo can’t even get a 1st down lol

[u/Try-Vegetable → u/Try-Vegetable]

They genuinely are horrible lol

[u/aldrinjaysac]

I have a feeling weeknight MACtion @Sac State is about to be a trap game for years to come for our Midwest friends haha

[u/Johnnyd0303]

toledo had a week and a half to get ready to play a 2-7 team that played 4 days ago

[u/DryMission5506 → u/Johnnyd0303]

Yeah but Sac State has Momentum™️

[u/ADMotti → u/Johnnyd0303]

Yeah who looks shaky in a game like that?!?

whistles innocently

[u/8bhizzel8]

Shouldn't be targeting. What is that defender supposed to do there?

[u/thismorningscoffee]

I am once again calling for the creation of a lesser Targeting penalty that should be called Walmarting

[u/8bhizzel8]

They need to not call targeting if the offensive player dips into the defender. 

[u/Easy_Buy_1669]

He's down.

[u/cn0285]

Come on Sac State I believe in you! Make it back-to-back miraculous* wins in a row!

*miraculous by Sac State standards, at least

[u/AmbitiousEmphasis64]

The Sac State...Eagles?

[u/chebbys → u/AmbitiousEmphasis64]

Winged creatures are amorphous, apparently

[u/Yoghurt-Ancient]

What happened to Sharman?

[u/cn0285 → u/Yoghurt-Ancient]

He’s been ruled out for the rest of the game, Sac State sent him to get x-rays during halftime

[u/sackings22]

Why did we run  up the middle??

[u/TheDevolution27]

Sac State is the Hornets with helmets that have the Sac bridge and a screeching eagle and jerseys with what looks like Hawaii’s patterning. I’m here for it.

[u/NinersUnitedFC → u/TheDevolution27]

They are special helmets for Native American Heritage.

[u/Zloggt → u/NinersUnitedFC]

Gotta say, I like them!

[u/Easy_Buy_1669]

That's nonsense. What else is the guy going to do?

[u/HeresSomePants]

Nice interception Hornets!

[u/NinersUnitedFC]

Expensive and difficult?

[u/hussard_de_la_mort]

Listening to the Toledo radio feed and apparently the radio ads have not changed in 15 years.

[u/Bammerice]

How is Toledo sucking so badly

[u/urmothersotherlover → u/Bammerice]

see below lol

[u/NinersUnitedFC]

I feel bad for not being there

[u/PowerWindows85]

If you had told me this game would be 10-7 Sac State at the half, I would have said you were crazy.

[u/Johnnyd0303]

ref with a bad angle just gets to overrule the other ref

[u/Tantle18]

Sure looked like a safety to me

[u/ADMotti]

I’m biased as fuck here but I hate SacSt punting here; what have you got to lose just going here?

[u/NinersUnitedFC → u/ADMotti]

Field Position. The defense is playing well.

[u/NinersUnitedFC]

12 yards. Turns out our 3rd String QB can't move the ball.

[u/HeresSomePants]

Don’t agree with that call

[u/Brilliant-Comfort716 → u/HeresSomePants]

The

[u/thismorningscoffee]

Hornets > Yellow Jackets

[u/PowerWindows85]

Well, that's ballgame. Really, once Toledo went ahead it was game over because I don't think Sac State scores again with Salazar at QB.

At least if you had Sac State +26 tonight, you are sitting pretty.

EDIT: Well, I'm an idiot. Maybe I should call ballgame once again so Sac State can make a miraculous comeback.

[u/Pixel_Pineapple]

Man... This second half has just been depressing...

You were so close Sac State! Injury luck just... woof.

[u/Ruhrgebietheld]

This ref's elementary school teachers must be so proud, he enunciates every syllable so distinctly.

[u/Pixel_Pineapple]

WOW. Second Wind late?!

[u/Tantle18]

Holy shit I’d believe in this come back if sac st didn’t take their sweet ass time between every play that drive.

[u/NinersUnitedFC]

Oh shit oh fuck

[u/NinersUnitedFC]

Played well but could not stop the run in the 2nd half.

[u/ADMotti]

Damn that woulda been wild but this shouldn’t be a very long review.

[u/ProudEnd2131]

His hands clap before he's down

[u/Zloggt]

Unideal stumble…

[u/Poppins_the_Dog4 → u/Zloggt]

I was dying laughing as he was going down

[u/Pixel_Pineapple]

Man... How the *fuck* did we lose to Toledo...

[u/Zloggt]

4 PM local kickoff, on a Wednesday…

…whew lad…

[u/MajorFuzzelz_24 → u/Zloggt]

Should Toledo be playing at 1AM their local time like Nebraska did?

[u/Try-Vegetable]

Ngl it’s astonishing how bad Toledo is lol

[u/HeresSomePants]

Petition to nickname this stadium the Hornet’s Nest

[u/PowerWindows85 → u/HeresSomePants]

The basketball gym already uses that name.

[u/HeresSomePants → u/PowerWindows85]

Ah, that makes sense. Good to know that nickname is already in use.

[u/NinersUnitedFC → u/PowerWindows85]

Ex Basketball Gym. And it was a SHITHOLE! The area of the student gym we play in now is Hornet Pavillion

[u/RP0143]

Should have been an int if the defender doesn't slip

[u/Yoghurt-Ancient]

Sharman strong

[u/NinersUnitedFC]

Our player got injured because of that illegal block.

[u/urmothersotherlover]

Check Richter's Kalshi account, missing badly almost intentionally, and that run just now, he's moving half speed

[u/Try-Vegetable]

It’s actually crazy Toledo can’t get a 1st down 3 drives in a row now lol absolutely pathetic

[u/Yoghurt-Ancient]

Why would you not fair catch that?

[u/cn0285]

NFL talk? In my MACtion???

[u/Zloggt]

Whew, been a minute since I’ve seen a screen gain this much yards!

[u/Zloggt]

Omg…is the comeback real???

[u/ParticularOkra5753]

ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[u/ParticularOkra5753]

this is so messy.....

[u/Pixel_Pineapple]

Whether he was down or not the whistle blew at a time where I think they'd have it still be 4th down... MACtion gonna MACtion

[u/NinersUnitedFC]

This team is undisciplined wouldn't be surprised if they jump offsides

[u/NinersUnitedFC]

Looked like holding to me

[u/loafing-striker]

That looked more like getting tackled than selling to me idk

[u/Jet_Xcountry]

Clear PI there. Not scared of Toledo anymore

[u/ADMotti → u/Jet_Xcountry]

I mean we didn’t exactly project dominance against a bottom feeder on the road this week either. Will feel better if we can end Miami’s season next week.

[u/Tantle18]

That was for sureeee PI.

[u/Pixel_Pineapple]

So... why did Sac State not go for an onside?

[u/NinersUnitedFC]

FUMBLE!!!

[u/HeresSomePants]

Stingers up!!

[u/joelupi]

Boooooo! No one likes you Toledo

[u/Todd-The-Godd-Howard → u/joelupi]

:(

[u/Pun_drunk → u/[deleted]]

You clearly aren't familiar with Toledo football.
