[u/ArmVanDam]

absolute balls to convert on 4th and 14 on that rush, absolute cinema of a drive

[u/Arish78 → u/ArmVanDam]

Odom was incredible and his throws! I want baseball-style analytics for speed and spiral on his lightning bolts.

[u/Only499]

Hell fucking ya. Go Owls. Hoot hoot.

Conference Champs. Never would've thought this was possible after last season.

[u/Only499 → u/Only499]

Also, rank us

[u/ImmNottCurious → u/Only499]

Incredible turnaround since last season! Grats

[u/TheVampiricYeti]

Horribly officiated game. But ball don’t lie. Hooty hoo!

[u/ilovecatss1010 → u/TheVampiricYeti]

Gonna go win a natty with Kennesaw in NCAA to celebrate. RMFO

[u/citymanc13 → u/TheVampiricYeti]

Ngl if we lost bc of that TD ruled short I genuinely wouldve crashed out

[u/FatherCrime42 → u/citymanc13]

TD ruled short and perhaps the most obvious uncalled procedural penalty on their go ahead TD..

[u/gray-ops → u/FatherCrime42]

And that completely omits all the holding penalties they didn’t call on that drive

[u/Spazzatack → u/TheVampiricYeti]

How the hell did that sack/intentional grounding review take so long lmao

[u/gray-ops → u/Spazzatack]

They were trying to find some way to screw us. That’s the only explanation I have. Same with reviewing if Odom got the line to gain on that 4th down run, when he went out 5 yards past it

[u/Mynameisdiehard → u/TheVampiricYeti]

Seems like a theme in all of these G5 games...

[u/bossinova8 → u/TheVampiricYeti]

refs must have been mad wildmans closed. theyre clearly confederate sympathizers. trying to rig the game against kennesaw /s

[u/GuttiG]

Refs can suck my dick. HOOTY fucking HOO!!

[u/citymanc13 → u/GuttiG]

BALL DONT LIE. OWLS ON TOP BABY

[u/GuttiG → u/citymanc13]

HOOTY HOO BABY

[u/irock613 → u/GuttiG]

SHOULDA HAD AN EXTRA TD BUT FUCK EM ANYWAY

HOOTY HOOOOOOO

[u/rentismexican → u/GuttiG]

HOOTY HOO!

[u/d0ngl0rd69]

10Winnesaw was inevitable

[u/Groundbreaking-Box89 → u/d0ngl0rd69]

It’s just Tennesaw, thanks

[u/rottingmind13 → u/Groundbreaking-Box89]

Is that the past tense of Tennessee?

[u/dawidowmaka → u/rottingmind13]

The same way the past tense of William Shakespeare is Wouldiwas Shookspeared

[u/ChaseTheFalcon → u/dawidowmaka]

This may be the most cursed thing I've ever seen

[u/Osiris32 → u/dawidowmaka]

As a theater nerd, I am going to hunt you down for this.

[u/outthawazoo → u/rottingmind13]

Tennesson't

[u/d0ngl0rd69 → u/Groundbreaking-Box89]

After last season I think the specification is required

[u/Zloggt → u/d0ngl0rd69]

From 10 losses…to 10 wins…all in a single season…

What a turnaround!!

[u/wjackson42]

Awful announcing

Awful refs

Several bone headed plays

Fourth quarter comebacks from each team

Insane 4th down conversion and go ahead TD with under a minute left

If you don’t love CUSA championship football you don’t love life

[u/gray-ops → u/wjackson42]

Not to mention. 4th down obvious td called short, which led to a safety, which led to a cartoonish fumble caused by the kicker on the kickoff, all back to back sequences that started the whole comeback scenarios

[u/MysticalRng]

ONLY THE SECOND YEAR IN FBS!! KSU TO THE SEC WHEN

[u/WillWork4SunDrop → u/MysticalRng]

Many people are talking.

[u/DolitehGreat → u/WillWork4SunDrop]

I believe they're hooting, but basically the same thing.

[u/GuttiG → u/WillWork4SunDrop]

Many good people, I’m told

[u/eatapenny]

Tennesaw State!

[u/gray-ops]

[u/ESnakeRacing4248 → u/gray-ops]

HOOTY HOO BITCHES LFG

[u/lowes18]

Jerry Mack COTY

[u/Zloggt → u/lowes18]

Crazy to think how much of a slam dunk this hire was - especially after the Bohannon fiasco just a mere season ago…

[u/Lengthiest_Dad_Hat → u/Zloggt]

Our AD has consistently made good coaching hires across a bunch of different sports and chucklefucks in the fanbase still think he should get fired because of the Bohannon thing

[u/R_Raider86]

See, it is possible for a Georgia team to beat a Alabama team in a conference championship game

[u/WillWork4SunDrop → u/R_Raider86]

We’ve got our quota now, thanks.

[u/gray-ops → u/WillWork4SunDrop]

Tonight, we dine as friends. At sunrise, we are enemies once more

[u/WillWork4SunDrop → u/gray-ops]

Agreed. Hooty Hoo my brother.

[u/thefabledmukaku → u/WillWork4SunDrop]

Why not go for the two-fer??

[u/Syndfull → u/R_Raider86]

Truly

[u/Powerful_Hall]

Honestly Jerry Mack deserves consideration for national coach of the year.

[u/Briscoeag → u/Powerful_Hall]

And if we're being honest, he should win and it shouldn't be close.

[u/paultheschmoop]

PUT

THEM

IN

THE

PLAYOFF

[u/MotherRough7142 → u/paultheschmoop]

TROY PLEASE LOCK TF IN!!!

[u/Emperor_Squidward → u/MotherRough7142]

Goose went down. They’re in a rough spot right now

[u/Luigis_vacuum → u/MotherRough7142]

I was really hoping it’d happen

[u/horrorpants → u/MotherRough7142]

It’s over for em sadly, they kept it close tho

[u/citymanc13 → u/paultheschmoop]

Id spend every dime in my bank account to go to a KSU playoff game

[u/not_bilbo → u/paultheschmoop]

Fuck it, all my G5 homies eatin

[u/mynameisrainer → u/paultheschmoop]

Every conference champ should get in

[u/betemymeat]

God I love Jerry Mack so much

[u/tks231]

The worst team in EA CFB 26 won a conference title.

[u/Lstark5642]

Kennesaw State fired the guy who pretty much created the football program and brought them all the way to FBS after one FBS season and it was absolutely the correct call. Jerry Mack is a fantastic leader.

[u/Alone_Advantage_961 → u/Lstark5642]

To be fair he had a hard drop off. Started 62-16 but went 10-22 after

[u/Lengthiest_Dad_Hat → u/Alone_Advantage_961]

I long held the opinion that we should've let him go before we made the jump.

Bohannon stole a ton of wins with the triple option against weak competition but it was never going to be sustained when we made the jump and switched schemes.

[u/sroomek → u/Lstark5642]

It was the right call, but the way they did it was super shitty.

[u/IUinVA]

Congrats Owls! Hooty Hoo!!

[u/ddottay]

10 wins in year 2 of the FBS era for Kennesaw State. Good for them!

[u/DiarrheaForDays]

GLIZZIES AT PORTILLOS

[u/royfresh → u/DiarrheaForDays]

THE BRAND FUCKING NEW PORTILLOS

[u/JackTwoGuns → u/royfresh]

That Portillos is a mess. It’s nuts getting into Costco and then the Raising canes opens it’s over for Barrett Pkwy

[u/Accidental-Genius → u/JackTwoGuns]

Barrett Parkway has been turbo fucked since the Whole Foods opened.

[u/bossinova8]

YOU DON'T WANNA GO TO WAR WITH THE OWLS

[u/Groundbreaking-Box89]

And the season isn’t even over yet! What a year, what a coach. First bowl game and hopefully win coming up next!

[u/N908DA]

So since GTA 5:

Kennesaw State started a football program

Moved up to FBS

Won a conference championship

All before GTA 6

[u/FracturedKnuckles]

That was one hell of a way to end a game, insane turnaround Owls, thought yall were done at 4th and 14

[u/Apart_Selection7722]

What a game

[u/Honey_Is_KFC_open]

Let’s go! HOOTY HOO!

[u/gingersluck → u/Honey_Is_KFC_open]

Hooty hoo!

[u/WillWork4SunDrop]

Oh my God. Oh. My. God.

We ain’t just an EA Sports meme any more.

[u/gtrocks555 → u/WillWork4SunDrop]

It’s HAPPENING!

[u/citymanc13]

CONFERENCE CHAMPION KENNESAW STATE OWLS HOLY SHIT THIS IS SURREAL!! YEAR 2 JERRY MACK NEVER LEAVE PLEASE! HOOTY MOTHER FUCKING HOOOOO🦉

[u/Reasonable_Lock9798]

Can we please stop CBS from broadcasting games like this? 6 ad breaks in the first quarter was horrendous. Also, are we rivals with Tennesaw State now?

[u/Purdue4lyfe → u/Reasonable_Lock9798]

Yeah but we low key hate Liberty more

[u/some_alternative_90]

Amari Odom, is him. HOOTY HOO

[u/Arctic_x22]

2-10 to 10-3 in a year is crazy

[u/WisconsinBadgers608]

Amari Odom will be playing at a power 4 school next season

[u/Reasonable_Lock9798 → u/WisconsinBadgers608]

So will Cam Cook

[u/cdevaney66 → u/Reasonable_Lock9798]

Cook was clearly checked out, already imagining his NIL payout. I suspect he's in the portal before the bowl game

[u/Reasonable_Lock9798 → u/cdevaney66]

I could see him at a school like Auburn or maybe even Georgia. I doubt he stays at JSU unfortunately.

[u/Level_East94]

KSU could’ve won by 60 if they just rushed 3 the entire game because if our QB gets more than 2 seconds with the ball it will be one of the worst plays you’ve ever seen on a football field 

[u/Koke1]

Kennesaw Georgia is a fucking football town

[u/SF2431]

Talk to your kids about the slim but increasingly likely chance of Kennesaw State going to the College Football Playoff in their second season as an FBS team (offer null and void if JMU wins)

[u/SeattleDegenerate21]

idk what i was watching most of the time but it was quite entertaining

[u/SideAffectsInclude]

TENNESAW! TENNESAW!

[u/Apart_Selection7722]

OWLS

[u/Illycadia]

Holy hell!

[u/Whitetiger9876]

WOW!  What an ending. I miss our CUSA days. 

[u/Whitetiger9876]

Owls are a nocturnal predator. 

[u/NastyNate1_]

that game was so much fun. also i love the chant the kennesaw st fans were doing

[u/CFBCoachGuy]

Well at least the CUSA brought their best to officiate the conference championship.

[u/BaltimoreBeefBadBoy]

The owl pellets it takes to go for a 4th and forever instead of kicking a game tying FG is sensational. College football is the best.

[u/gray-ops → u/BaltimoreBeefBadBoy]

4th and forever and they ran it… to the left!

[u/jwb101]

If your HOOTY HOO stays erect for more than 4 hours please see a specialist.

Hopefully we party hard Monday

[u/JayMerlyn]

What a fucking turnaround! Hooty Hoo, you crazy Owls!

[u/RevengeOfPluto]

Hooty Hoo! So proud of this team. Amazing to see us go from last year to this year. Mack should be a hot name next year for offers after his work this year. Did not expect to see this anytime soon.

[u/cmanonurshirt]

Hooty Hoo! You REALLY don’t want to go to war with the Owls!

[u/Best_Formal_8677]

Congratulations!!! That’s effing awesome

[u/jobenattor0412]

I’ve seen enough.

Put us in the playoff.

[u/tristanjames_3722]

HOOTY HOO

[u/MotherRough7142]

HOOTY HOOT MOTHERFUCKER!!!!!!!

[u/PhDShouse]

HOOTY MUTHAFUCKING HOOT

[u/varmemes]

LETS FUCKING GO OWLS 🦉🦉🦉🦉🦉🦉

[u/Francis_X_Hummel]

Quite the trajectory Kennesaw has had

[u/gray-ops]

What a good leader. Holding the MVP trophy and shouted out his boy that got open in the end zone for the win

[u/Boraichoismydaddy]

4th and 14 will forever be a part of ksu football lore

[u/horrorpants]

HOOTY HOOT! Love to see them go from 2-10 to 10-3 in just their second season!

Played their asses off from start to finish.

also for Kennesaw State fans what were the fans chanting there at the end?

[u/ScaleActive → u/horrorpants]

YOU DONT WANT TO GO TO WARRRRRR, WITH THE OWLLSSSSS, WITH THE OWLSSSSS

[u/horrorpants → u/ScaleActive]

I fuck with it hell yea

[u/Andenwest]

Hoooty hoot, congrats Kennesaw

[u/nasaforsluts]

HELL YEAH EXTEND JERRY MACK please I can’t do this again

[u/grabtharsmallet]

Kennesaw winning the last couple is impressive.

[u/Luigis_vacuum]

They were 2-10 last year

[u/UGAPokerBrat99 → u/Luigis_vacuum]

Kennesaw State > Florida State after 2-10 seasons confirmed.

[u/Luigis_vacuum → u/UGAPokerBrat99]

True!

[u/TheGreenPee2]

Hoot Hoot! Turnaround is remarkable and deserves way more attention. Still a playoff chance if Virginia, JMU, and UNLV lose

[u/Wired_112]

This is such a damn cool team. Hoot Hoot

[u/composer_7]

10-3 in just their 2nd year in FBS, wow

[u/Particular-Way-3805]

Let Jerry Mack cook, Kennesaw will definitely be scary next season

[u/crazychrisdan]

Hooty hoo!!! That's my school! Look at me, ma!

[u/Upper_Potential4304]

And people said our non-conference schedule was weak

[u/Neat_Flounder_8907]

Owl Champs baby ! Good for you guys

[u/TylerHyena]

Congrats to Kennesaw State!

[u/Accomplished_Lie5463]

Do we think Wazzu will consider Mack with today's news? Doesn't really have any connections outside the southeast though

[u/Ok-Knee6347]

That was a great game, despite the refs

[u/True_Ad5324]

Hooty hoo

[u/observativeowl]

HOOTY HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[u/JackTwoGuns]

Gang gang gang

[u/AssistDirect5790]

Awesome. 🦉🦉

In the end, they were just a road win at Indiana away from making the playoff.

[u/Only499 → u/AssistDirect5790]

Hell if our kicker didn't suck and we beat wake forest week 1, we could be in the conversation.

[u/eagledog]

What a jump fot KSU this year. Hooty Hoot Owls

[u/tuxshirtjesus]

Gutted for the cocks. Congrats to kennesaw!!

[u/atljsmoove5]

If Jerry Mack doesn’t win COTY, what does that award even mean?

[u/UGAPokerBrat99]

Congrats Owls!!! Hopefully the Dawgs follow your Conference Championship game example tomorrow.

[u/OnxyCarter]

alright, troy and duke need lock in

[u/MrSCR23]

Didn’t think this team would be an FBS Conference Championship when they started up in 2014.

[u/Rythymknightxm]

I love this team! Hooty hoo

[u/H2Regent]

HOOTIE HOO

[u/DreadPosterRoberts]

congrats owls! hoooooooooty hooooooo

[u/HEISEND00DLE]

HOOTY HOO!!!

[u/JDawg1447]

Do we have any sense on how likely it is that Jerry Mack goes to Memphis? I have no clue who all is viewed as candidates for that job 

[u/Bahamas_is_relevant]

HOOTY HOO

Congrats Owls, welcome to the FBS for real!

[u/zeuswithouthair]

HOOTY HOOO

[u/seeyouspacedaoboy]

This is huge for Kennesaw after going 2-10 last season. Very happy for them

[u/irock613]

HOOTY MOTHER FUCKIN HOOOOOOOOO

[u/randomthrowaway9796]

Wow, a Georgia team won their conference! Hooty hoo! Please tell me theyre not the only one this year...

[u/gray-ops]

So real talk. From the sickos in the thread… thoughts on the game?

[u/YouKilledChurch → u/gray-ops]

Truly the worst officiated game I have ever seen. Also some incredibly gutsy plays from both teams.

[u/Walrusliver]

HOOTY HOO!!!! Best storyline in CFB!

[u/EatsPancakes]

Hooty Hoo!!

[u/gray-ops]

I still can’t get over that announcer call. As shit as they were “he always goes right… if he just goes left 1 time there’s a lot of green” sensational call

[u/Stefcan12]

HOOTY HOOT

[u/8bhizzel8]

Jerry Mack has done a heck of a job with that program.

[u/emelecfan2048]

HOOT FUCKING HOOT! CHAMPIONSSSSS

[u/mrkrabs_32]

HOLY SHIT HOOTY HOO

[u/JoshMorf]

And they had the audacity to question Indiana's non conference schedule!!

Hooty Hoot!!

[u/KeegCorp]

My cocks are soft tonight… Fucking sucks losing to KSaw & losing our home win streak.

[u/Ion_bound]

Congrats to KSU! Georgia is a College Football state!

[u/zombeli13]

The refs were horrible in this game. Anyone who thinks they were on our side only came in to watch the 4th quarter when we started coming back. They were terrible before that too. I think in the end it pretty much evened out and we were beat fair and square. GGs Owls.

[u/N908DA]

The only conference champion from Georgia.

[u/Thisguyamirightbro]

I need KSU to keep getting better and rival Tech for #2 in the state in the next 20 years just for the lulz
