One Frame At A Time: B1G Championship Game
Hi there. So. This game was played on a Saturday. I am posting this on a Sunday. Totally normal. Nailed it!
I actually kinda like the tardiness of this post since it fills in some gaps where we don’t have football. Hooray for football!
Honorable Mentions:
I Did Not Have Enough Room In The Top 10 For All Of These TFLs
JJ Mahomes
No I Absolutely Have No Space. The Top 10 Is Sacred Ground
No! No Room For PBUs Either! Stop Asking!
I’m Bringing Back Laser Beam, idc
What Happens In My Car When Someone Farts
There Was No Enhanced Version That I Liked
Mesmerizing
THUD
Listen. These Are The Honorable Mentions. They Are Still Honored, Just Not On The Same Level
That Ball Was Not Not Touched
Where’s The Voice Crack Gus???
Yes, I Needed Every Single Spot In The Top 10. Even The Nose Picking One, What Do You Think I Am An Adult?
You Can Hear The Scream
Speed Kills 2.0
Purdue Is Baby?
You’re Just Gonna Have To Trust Me, The Top 10 Is Glorious.
Next Year Is Gonna Be Fun
10. There Was A Great Big Moose. He Liked To Drink A Lot Of Juice.
The Moose’s Name Was Fred. He Liked To Drink His Juice In Bed.
He Drank His Juice With Care. But He Spilled Some On His Hair.
Now He’s A Sticky Moose. ‘Cause He Spilled All Of His Juice.
Singin’ woah oh woah oh. Wee oh wee oh wee oh wee oh. Singin’ woah oh woah oh. Wee oh wee oh wee oh wee oh.
9. High-Quality Replay. 10/10.
Would go again. Ask for Stacy the waitress she’s the best. Took care of us like a dying parent in hospice.
8. All The Sacks In One
To Save Space, I Must Do This
Not A Haiku
I have to do these little 3-in-ones otherwise I actually have to make hard decisions and it’s my day off so we’re doing this instead.
6. Serious TRAIN Vibes
Do you remember the first time you ever played musical chairs? Out of all the things I remember from my childhood, somehow that’s a memory I have. You haven’t really gotten instructions on how to play because everyone assumes you already know how to play. I mean, it’s musical chairs. Who doesn’t know how to play musical chairs? They just tell you to walk around in a circle, they’ll play music, and when the music stops everyone sits down. But then there’s this moment of realization of WHOA WHOA WHOA there is something seriously wrong here. I’ve done all the calculations! Something here is amiss! That’s the feeling this play gave me.
5. This Is The Internet. I Am Having Fun.
This is the last thing a meal of steak and milk sees.
4. FOX Did Them Dirty
Ok, lots going on here: 1) this 3rd down schtick is fun and I know it’s supposed to be tooting a train horn but it just looks like what kids do at semi-trucks on the interstate. 2) guy in the left corner is 1000000% brushing his teeth with an electric toothbrush mid-game and you cannot convince me otherwise. 3) we’ll get to dude in the middle since he’s the focal point, but don’t miss an ear pick and nose pick coming into view in the bottom right at the very end. 4) girl in the middle left is my favorite. she’s done 4 shake weights and she’s tapped out. that’d be me. way too much work. 5) ok ok, middle guy, YOU ARE NOT FOOLING ANYONE WE ALL SAW THAT. the cheek wipe into the neck rub is a classic but it’s too little, too late my friend. there are cameras everywhere in this stadium and it is 3rd down. this is not the time nor the place. pick your nose while you poop or drive alone like everyone else.
3. Yay High-Level Passing TDs!
Enhanced
Seriously JJ Has Turned It On Lately
Enhanced 2.0
Can you imagine if we somehow get Corum back and JJ keeps playing like this as well and Edwards starting being able to catch out of the backfield again and Mike Morris is fully healthy and we’re playing for a national championship? Can you even imagine?

Giving a whole new meaning to A Star Is Born to this Christmas season.
Frames Of The Game: 2nd Half Team
This Phone Booth Is, In Fact, Big Enough For The Both Of Us
I love that the duo play design is basically “hey Donovan just give this guy the business okay?”
WAIT
Brian’s bolded conscience? What are you doing here?
Um, excuse me. I am a bolded alter-ego, not a conscience.
Well that explains a lot.
What?
Nothing. What am I waiting for?
I know this isn’t my column, but I couldn’t help but notice. It was just so glaring. No one was going to say anything so I had to step in.
Are you out of breath? Did you run here?
Someone had to say something. It was far!
Had to say what?
You missed #7! Just totally missed #7 entirely!

Yeah, Well, So Did Purdue.
7. There, Now It’s There
MVP!
I love the “hey man it’s upside-down!” “What? Oh…”
0. Yay Postgame GIFs!
Back-to-back baby! Viva 15-0!
Winner from last week: Michigan. Michigan won the game before this. Michigan won the game before this over Ohio State, in their own stadium, 45-23. In case you forgot. Also, Speed Kills

Awesome stuff as always Mr Elbel. Thanks for this.
Having a hard time between Edwards pinball run vs the absolute rope that JJ threw to Ronnie.
December 12th, 2022 at 3:31 PM ^
Ditto. Or the pinball run vs. JJ's throw & Colson's catch.
I guess I'll pick pinball based on on the UFR principle of individual parts of plays. So many part to that run!
December 11th, 2022 at 9:06 PM ^
A legitimate Top 30 going on here. Thanks for collating the memories!
December 11th, 2022 at 9:18 PM ^
turgid with joy. i love this team.
the only thing i wish this had: some blake corum gifs (i miss that guy :( )
December 11th, 2022 at 9:27 PM ^
These last two seasons have been very special. I love it.
December 11th, 2022 at 10:31 PM ^
On the gif with the Purdue students: 6) check out the shirt just above and to the right of yellow hat guy.
December 12th, 2022 at 3:29 PM ^
This is HARD to decide.
Also, referring to "Mesmerizing": Other teams are chary of our chair-y shout-out.
December 12th, 2022 at 10:24 PM ^
There are actually two picking their noses in the fan capture. One obviously eating it immediately, the other rationing it for the 4th quarter.
December 13th, 2022 at 12:16 AM ^
#5 cracks me up. But I think #7 wins it. Also, Mullings had a Hammering Panda vibe in this game. I would like to subscribe to that newsletter!
December 13th, 2022 at 1:09 AM ^
Anyone who knows my camp song wins one (1) upvote.
December 13th, 2022 at 6:48 PM ^
Enhanced 2.0 is awesome! I couldn’t see the catch in real time and this view, slowed down, is a two-feet-in-NFL-catch. Doesn’t look like that when the camera is far away.
December 14th, 2022 at 8:45 AM ^
that was my reaction live too. did not think he had control in bounds at all. the replay makes it very clear. NFL throw and NFL catch.
December 14th, 2022 at 2:13 PM ^
The past couple weeks watching these and Edwards looks like he’s playing a different game than everyone else. It doesn’t even look hard at all for him. Good sign.
December 20th, 2022 at 8:24 PM ^
I love these.
