BEAST BEAST BEAST, that's why.

[Desperado]

Big XII, baby.

 

[pxleyes]

Stick around after the game when Lou Holtz serves crow for the entire ESPN staff.

 

[GoldenEye 007]

Live from the Stadium formerly known as Joe Robbie, LOL ACC.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

SEC SEC SEC, that's why.

and it's that same rally cry that helped to create enough positive perception to lead to a NC game featuring 2 SEC teams.

edit: and that's a fumble.

 

[pxleyes]

WV ball in my book.

 

[mre]

SEC SEC SEC, that's why.

(when did that start, by the way? Seems like a relatively recent thing.)

Hey, now. Fuck the other 11 teams in the conference.

 

[iamtheb]

LET'S GO....

 

[Levyne]

Fumble

haha

 

[Seda]

This is a nightmarish 2nd quarter for Clemson.

 

[cashman]

Got damn. I was so close to changing my pick for this game.

 

[Yaboosh]

This is not going well for Clemson.

 

[Gamecocks625]

Clemson...come on now. Wow.

That said, the Tigers can score very quickly (not necessarily against us) so it can still be an interesting game in the 2nd half.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

This is a nightmarish 2nd quarter for Clemson.

beyond a nightmare. this is some "being stalked by the creature from Alien" type shit.

I can't turn away from waiting for the next Clemson disaster.

so it can still be an interesting game in the 2nd half.

nope. they'll be down 29 points without having shown the slightest indication that they can stop WVU.

 

[Yaboosh]

Looked like Mr Clemson captain went for an eye rake.

 

[GoldenEye 007]

Clemson has just imploded. And I'm in the WVU section. This is a little weird. They said they're going to "brother me up." Should I be scared?

I'm colored, btw.

 

[pxleyes]

Wow.

 

[Yaboosh]

Damn that was good clock management.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

Sweet Jesus.

35 points in one quarter. Night, Clemson.

 

[LosDaddie]

Why do people identify with their conference?

FSU won their bowl game and that is all I care about. I don't give two shits if Clemson or Virginia Tech or NC State win or lose.

A strong ACC would help FSU get into the MNC game over a school from a weaker conference. See: Bama over OSU this year

Plus, it's fun to have a team to root for in bowl games. I don't really give a shit though. Fuck Clemson.

Is there couches anywhere near you?

Also, everyone look for the only black guy in the WVU section!

If FSU doesn't make it into an NC game, it is our own damn fault somewhere. Partly because our OOC schedule is usually solid.

They are going to give you a,

"West Fvckin Virginia" shirt.

 

[Alligatorjandro]

Wasn't it 28-20 with like 5 minutes left?

 

[impirius]

Awww, don't cry, Dabo.




Nah, go ahead!

Yep. and again, it works to increase your rank in the human polls resulting in the chance of getting into bigger, better bowl games where you can play better opponents and make more MONEY.

And of course, the more shine you get in better bowl games, the better recruits you can convert.

So yea, there are a ton of reasons to want to see top-to-bottom success from your conference members. Though for me, I simply like to see B1G teams succeed outside the conference just because.

But the Big 10 performing well this bowl season isn't actually going to change anything at all when it comes to perception. I mean, sure, if the ACC became equivalent to the Mac or Sun Belt, that would be bad for all the teams in the conference. But conference perception seems surprisingly static and independent of the actual performance of that conference from year to year.

 

[Piano]

Clemson...loooooooooooooool
Amazing implosion. I was rooting for the tigers but this is wildly entertaining.

It would if it was consistent success year to year, I think.

 

[_woLf]

Can we please have one bowl game that doesn't feature either shitty defenses or shitty field goal kickers?

Just one? Please?

 

[Dreams-Visions]

It would if it was consistent success year to year.

exactly. ask the SEC.

 

[perfectchaos007]

49 points in the first half? You'll fit in with us WVU, just leave your couches at home

 

[CriginsMcJuggs]

I am pleased.

 

[KingGondo]

*ahem*
...

...

Big 12!

*runs away*

 

[bluemax]

A police caravan for college football players? What a fucking joke.

 

[Yaboosh]

A police caravan for college football players? What a fucking joke.

It's New Orleans for the team from Baton Rouge in the NC game. Maybe they just wanted to make it a bigger deal. Did Bama get one? Be pretty funny if they didn't.

 

[mre]

A police caravan for college football players? What a fucking joke.

They always get a police escort...

 

[GoldenEye 007]

God watching this BEAST domination is getting me all hot and bothered.

 

[KingGondo]

God watching this BEAST domination is getting me all hot and bothered.

Nothing hotter than a dominating team that won't be in your conference when you arrive.

 

[bluemax]

They always get a police escort...

This does not quell my outrage!

 

[Aesius]

I will seriously LOL if Steele is announced as UT's new DC later this week.

The scary thing is that it's a very strong possibility.

 

[perfectchaos007]

Nothing hotter than a dominating team that won't be in your conference when you arrive.

But WVU winning tonight may prolongue the BEASTS AQ status. maybe....nah

 

[KingGondo]

Jeez Clemson. At least pretend to give a fuck.

 

[markatisu]

Welcome to the B12 WVU, dayum!

 

[Seda]

creeeepy Tostitos commercial

 

[Jeff-DSA]

More like Atlantic Crap Conference, amirite?

 

[mre]

This does not quell my outrage!

The USC players don't get a police escort when travelling by bus?

 

[NihonTiger90]

Attention citizens of Miami:

Hide yo couches.
Hide yo recliners.
Because they burning everything up in here.

 

[NihonTiger90]

The entire fourth quarter is just going to be WVU in victory formation. God damn.

 

[tfur]

A police caravan for college football players? What a fucking joke.

They do that for high school teams sometimes as well...
