Holy shit. Somebody sign this guy up to be a sports commentator. You heard it hear first. Storybook makes it so.

The new Rudy when it is filmed in 20 years. Who plays Manti?
Some pacific-island kid born 2 years ago. If Hollywood produces it, then some white kid born 2 years ago.
 
i mean we needed a good season to build off of. i wouldn't call a possible two loss season, winning the conference championship(first time since 2005), and orange bowl win a season of "sucking" anymore than the Gators only going to the sugar bowl and not winning their own division

Yeah but this was FSU's year.Anything but a BCS championship would be a disappointment.

Like the 2009 Florida team.
 
Cant believe people in this thread think that the overrated turds that are Alabama will win the MNC.

TVs will be off by half time because its going to be such a blowout. Has Alabama played a decent team in the past two years?
 
No. I'll admit I don't post in here often, but when I do it's either for the Gamecocks or Notre Dame. You've even responded to a post of mine that was for ND within the past few weeks.
Don't take shit personally. GAF's ND contingent has grown exponentially this season. Hard to keep track of you all.
 
I think anybody that doesn't take ND in the national championship is a bit of an idiot at this point. I'd love to see Alabama get there just to be slapped down by this team.

On paper Alabama wins but you really can't bet against the Irish. It's just storybook.

Glad to see you finally got a GAF account, Brent.

who really believed this going into the year though? i wouldn't be surprised if FSU was still behind ND and a one loss SEC champion even if they had gone undefeated. especially after how much worse the ACC was than usual this season
 
You've got multiple GAF accounts and post as ND fans on both of them?

Hey. He has 8 posts on the season. Don't be such a cunt, mre.

What has Te'o done to deserve the Heisman? He's put up lesser stats than a number of other line backers, he hasn't really had a single signature moment all season, and he's generally disappeared for long stretches of games.

But dem tackles! And you can fuck right the hell off, too. He is the new Rudy.
 
Anybody watching the LA Tech game on ESPN2? They just ran a fake field goal shovel pass where the holder stood up after receiving the ball. He possessed the ball while his knee was on the ground, so shouldn't he technically be down at that spot?
 
If CF-Gods had a heart, the matchups would be:

MNC: Georgia/Notre Dame
Sugar: Oregon/Florida
Rose: Stanford/Nebraska
Fiesta: KSU/Louisville
Orange: Florida State/Oklahoma
 
I'm not totally sold on Florida's Defense. They are good, but not GREAT.

Have you watched us all year? We smoother the run, actually tackle, and our entire secondary is full of ball hawks. The 26 we gave up today was the most points we have allowed all season and those last 6 were garbage points with time expiring.

Notre Dame is the number 1 team and he's the closest thing to a "name" player they have. If Notre Dame had a half decent QB or RB that put up crazy numbers they'd be getting a huge push, but they don't so alas, we are left with Te'o. It's pure narrative, but the Heisman has always been about that.

I'm watching but don't know the answer.

No. Otherwise when you kicked, it wouldn't count because the ball would already be dead.

It's true. And as a Gamecock fan first, even I know this:

I'm not certain, but I'd guess that you can't be ruled down when you get possession of the ball from the snap. Were that not the case, no one would ever field a holder.
 
Well he and Rudy are both lying sacks of shit, so they do have that in common!

The hate is strong in this one. You are just salty cause Lane Kiffen is your coach.

Think of the built in drama! The family situation! The Irish! His time spent on the Mormon mission!

I love that all the salt is coming from gator fans not Fsu fans.

I bit on Canuck, but his posts are so consistent that he has transcended trolldom, or is actually fucked in the head.

I think your good, but I think part of the thing is I think the SEC offenses are down this year. There are 6 teams on the FL schedule that I think have borderline horrific offensives and/or are cupcake OOC offensives. That's half your schedule. Like I said I think your D is really good. I'm just not sold on it being GREAT.

*A&M Homer Conspiracy Theory*

The Heisman establishment is looking for a way to not give the award to Manziel. Just as some baseball writers refuse to vote for admittance to the Hall of Fame for first time eligible players, there will be a contingent that cannot accept a (redshirt) freshman winning the award. The focus had been on Klein, a competent (but pedestrian) QB on a winning team. Completely failing to show up against Baylor (Baylor!!) ruined that narrative, and Lee was always an outside shot at WR. Te'o allows an out with a feel-good story while running under the cover of "the Heisman is for the best player, that shouldn't mean offense only".

A lot of the media picked them to win.
 
bluemax how salty are you right now, 1-10?

Like a 1 if that. I expected to lose all week, and anything better than a blowout was exceeding my expectations.

Looking back we were definitely not worthy of pre-season #1, but I think this team was more talented than 7-5. A combination of bad luck, untimely injuries and the Kiffins being horrible coaches really tanked us.

My biggest hope right now is that at the very least we get rid of Monte Kiffin before next season.

Is one of them the one that hung 40 on you today?
 
If FSU wins next week it will be their 13th ACC title in the 20 years they have been in the conference, putting them one title behind Clemson for most in conference history. Clemson has been in the conference for almost 60 years though.

You're right, it isn't great. The difference in skill between the SEC and the ACC showed immensely tonight, and it convinced me for sure.


Media are idiots when it comes to rating Fsu.
Well, statistically, and given that the game was in Tallahassee, FSU was clearly the favorite and should've won the game. Who'd've thought FSU would've blown their loads with five turnovers?

I guess I assumed that the made an exception for purposes of actually holding kicking the ball. Whatever I guess.
FUCKING BULLSHIT SJSU WAS ROBBED!!!!

The ACC is garbage this year though. That doesn't really tell me anything.

PS: I think in general this is a down year for college football across the board. There are a lot of previous top 5 teams this turn of the century that I'd like more than any of the 3 teams that will be in the NC game.
