Go Bucs!
I’m rooting for the Bucs today, of course.
Let me also share Gary Shelton’s pick for the best Buc ever. Here’s a hint - he’s a former Seminole.
At Least It Was a Good Game
Both teams had so many chances to win this game and blew them all… we basically lost this one on a missed PAT in the first half.
That safety call was pretty much a crock, too.
But you get two coaches together like this, you know you;’re going to end up with a good game. At [...]
Orange Bowl
A guy in a hospital, coming out of the newborn ward and wearing a hospital-issue plasic bracelet, holds the elevator door to make your life easier and you trash his team?
Louisiana Devastation
I missed watching this game for obvious reasons the other day, but allow me to utter a quiet “Geaux Tigers!” in honor of LSU’s thrashing of the Miami Hurricanes in the Peach Bowl.
Many of you, I’m sure, had to endure the sportscasters making witty comments about Louisiana’s hurricane revenge and other such nonsense. It [...]
ACC Championship, Scene VI
I was really afraid coming into this game. We were coming off a three-loss roll, and Tech had one of the strongest defenses in the country. I needn’t have worried. Somehow, the offense put together a complete game and the defense held firm.
I had forgotten that Frank Beamer’s Hokies haven’t [...]
ACC Championship, Scene V
Where was this team last week? 27 - 3, and the Noles have clearly unlocked the Hokies’ defense. Play-calling and execution on offense have been excellent, and our defense has held. It’s looking good!
ACC Championship, Scene IV
Bobby Bowden has a Florida State Trooper escort at every game for security. It seems to be the same one all year long - a plum assignment for a highly senior trooper. Brent Musberger attributes the following quote to Coach Bowden’s current escort:
Coach, if you end up going to Idaho for a bowl [...]
ACC Championship, Scene III
Shades of the 90’s!
FSU ran a punt back, seemingly hundreds of yards but probably only dozens, for a touchdown. On the following drive by Virginia Tech, FSU intercepted deep in their own territory. Weatherford strung together several medium-deep passes capped off with yet another touchdown. For a brief second I [...]
ACC Championship, Scene II
At halftime, we have a 3 - 3 tie. I expected Virginia Tech’s defense to play well, and FSU’s defensive effort has been a pleasant surprise. Only time will tell if we can keep it up.
Seventy (70) to Three (3)
Coach Barnett, your team just blown out by 67 points and didn’t score a touchdown. What’s your reaction?
I’m surprised we lost the game 70-3, let’s say that.
I’m sure many other Northwestern alumni will join me in saying to you: couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy.
ACC Championship, Scene I
After last week’s miserable performance, the Seminoles can tonight salvage a rough season and get a bid to a BCS bowl by beating Virginia Tech to win ACC Championship.
When FSU joined the ACC, it was primarily a basketball conference. The original teams, Duke, North Carolina, NC State, Virginia, Maryland, Clemson, Wake Forest, [...]
Seminoles vs. Gators, Scene III
It’s 17-0, Gators leading, and I’m still wondering when the bus will arrive that was supposed to bring my football team to Gainesville.
Seminoles vs. Gators, Scene II
The halfwits in the broadcast booth have just said that this game is less important than next week’s ACC Championship game. Steve Spurrier used to say the same thing about the SEC Championship game. The idiot commentators said that Bobby Bowden must now feel the same way this year, the first year [...]
Seminoles vs. Gators, Scene I
My son not only likes to watch football; my son not only knows how to do the Seminole chop; he also knows to do it on the band’s cue. His mommy is so proud.
