3 overreactions from Michigan's win over Wisconsin

Sherrone Moore's offense sputtered to put points on the board in the first 30 minutes because of Wisconsin's relentless tenacity, but they came out of the locker room possessed to extend the lead. They could have scored more to cover, but you don't play to cover the spread. The defense was ruthless, enforcing seven punts in a row, followed by a turnover, before giving up for three. Below are some of the most amusing overreactions from Saturday's disengaging victory.

1. Pass interference should have been called on Rod Moore's interception

There was a lot of buzz about Jyaire Hill interfering with the Wisconsin receiver on the play and for good reason, but I'm going to tell you why this is an overreaction. First off the ball could have been ruled uncatchable, although that's unlikely, if Moore was not tracking it like a centerfielder. Secondly, Hill did make an attempt to look back at the football, even though it was a slight one, the ref did not reach for his flag.

Hill put his hands on the pass catcher, but let up once he got a sense of where the ball was going. Although we don't know for sure, Moore could have communicated with his teammates in the area during that sequence that he knew he was going to pick it off. Re-watching it over and over doesn't make it seem too obvious of an infraction, but one could say that I am being a bit biased in my judgement.

2. It matters to Fox if Michigan fans went to the University or not

Fox did a video before the game talking to tailgating patrons about whether or not they attended the university. Should that matter to you? No, in fact who cares. Fandom is a right. This is an overreaction that is just laughable. Some make it a big deal about whether or not people go to school that they cheer for, but why does it even matter? I didn't go to class at Michigan and was born and bred to be a Michigan fan and I am very proud of that. I would venture to say that most feel the same way that I do.

I can sympathize with the other side of the argument as well. Graduates of their favorite programs should feel pride in saying that they earned a degree for the college that they attended. There are many lifers who are Michigan diehards, who have graduated from there and even more who just love the aura of its sports programs and gravitate towards it. That's what so fun about college football compared to the NFL in my opinion.

I bet if you asked Ohio State, Alabama, Clemson supporters or almost any other power school in America, most of their loyalists are probably folks who went to another school or didn't go to college at all. College football is beloved by so many red-blooded Americans and across the globe. It doesn't judge you in your personal beliefs.

3. Fox has too many commercials during their broadcasts

This is more of a continuous complaint then an overreaction, but there is an argument to make from it. Fox Big Noon Kickoff is one the network's largest money-makers. They can do just about anything they want because they bring in so much revenue. The Ohio State/Texas showdown was clear evidence of that. Viewership has gone up from last year's broadcasts thanks to that encounter alone and the addition of Dave Portnoy.

It's not just college football either. Baseball, the NFL, Nascar and other sporting events take precipice for Fox because they know millions are watching because of the product that they are putting out there on their programming.

Social media antagonists will continue to bash these networks, but I would imagine that they will do nothing about it, but put more money in their already deep pockets. Football and money rule American viewership.
