The only silver lining besides finding a way to beat UGA.
We need to cheer hard for ourselves to finish out the season. We can't be worrying about anything else. Oregon has a tough schedule going forward. They are far from guaranteed to go undefeated.
That's a great thing to tell the team, but I think we all know the truth.

The truth that we haven't gotten through an acc schedule unscathed in over a decade?
Edit: since 2000
I think the game would be better if we just let our scout teams play each other.

That's the confidence I love to see in Nole fans. Keep it up!
I'd be ok with this. I think we all would have a more fun weekend knowing we can just all go 'fuck it all' and get drunk.
Yup, at this point I just don't want any more injuries for players, season is over at this point. Fighting for a shitty bowl. With a scout team game, at least we could see what our future teams may look like.
tOSU played at a different level last year in this game. :|

Meh. I always want every team FSU plays to finish the season 11-1. Why wouldn't I want our wins to look impressive? I don't shed a tear when UF and UM lose, but it doesn't really bother me when they win games against other teams either.

The best part of a rivalry is enjoying the suffering of your rival. I love the fact Michigan is 2-8 against us in the last 10 games and the fact they are a running joke. Will it be detrimental to us in the long run if there are 3+ undefeated teams from major conferences at the end? Sure. Likelihood that is going to happen? 1/17 or about 5% based on recent events.
So I'm going to root against Michigan in every facet of live possible. Because that is what being part of a real rivalry is.

Meh. As a Michigan fan I honestly couldn't give a squirt of piss about OSU. I know I'm supposed to or whatever, but I honestly just don't give a fuck. As such, they're like every other opponent: want them to finish 11-1 so that my team's SOS is good, just as Obi said.
Tech fans have been somewhat perplexed as to why Jace Amaro hasn't been included on the Mackey Award Watch List for best TE in the country all season. Turns out it's Tuberville's fault.

I would become pretty apathetic too if my program was in the same state as yours and my rival was just beating us down on a regular basis. That is what happens to submissive wives, they just stop caring.
Now would I help a guy bleeding on the street if he was wearing a michigan jersey. Of course, no doubt in my mind. But you better believe there would be a split second of hesitation. Just a split second.

Yep, though when I am watching a game that my rival is in, I still cheer when the fuck up. It's sort of a win-win scenario. If Miami or Florida wins a game, it makes FSU's SOS stronger. If they lose a game, I get to laugh at how stupid they are and gloat about how much they suck. This year's UF-UM game was pretty much the perfect game for an FSU fan to watch. Both of them shit the bed, and Miami won which I prefer since it is another win for the ACC over the SEC.
Hardly. I always wanted Oklahoma to be as good as they could before our games so that if we beat them we really had something to be proud of. There's no real accomplishment in beating garbage teams.

Haha fucking exactly. Like when OSU lost to Florida in the MNC, I wanted them to win, but LMAO, right? Win/win.

IDK im so conflicted on this. 2006 season beating undefeated michigan was sweet, but so was the terrible rich rod years. On one hand I enjoy seeing michigan fail on a weekly basis, on the other hand screwing them out title games/rose bowls are sweet as well.

Not me. I never cheer for the gatas. I used to back in my younger years, then I realized UF will always be a quality team on FSU's schedule, regardless of their record.
Obviously part of that particular macro is mocking ridiculous claims, but the other part of it is showing the utter shamelessness of SEC Have fans when they exploit an SEC Have Not's unusually presentable season to make their program look even better. I feel like the latter aspect, while slightly present in this instance, is not of a similar odiousness to warrant a Camusing.

Ah rivalries.
Apparently aggy still desperately wants to be our rival. Some idiots recently tagged a bunch of buildings on UT's campus last week.
It'll get painted over in a matter of hours, if not already.

Gracias. I think...
I wouldn't have said anything too bad against Alabama because I like them mostly. Maybe when they were playing Ole Miss?
I do follow CFB quite a bit nowdays. I would watch 4-6 games a week (they have two channels which play matches from about 1am Satdy Night to 4pm Sun Night).
I probably now follow it more closely than half the people who visit this thread.
Mike Evans is a great player, but he is not their best player. It is hard to argue that anyone but JFF is their best player. Look what happened for the 10mins he was off against Auburn.
Has it been confirmed JFF is out this week?

Probably, most fans will watch games relevant to their rooting interest, so there's not so much knowledge about the sun belt ( except for MRE as he's an alum of every school in that conference) or the mac.
Pretty much if I ever go, it's to a game that's out, and it's about playing it. I save any and all console specific talk to the rare times I log onto IRC, usually around E3. Because hey, guess what doesn't work during those few days?
He was still a Junior, right?

If you guys are unsure of your USC pick, here's some info.
USC had 53 players play against ND. Only 39 of them were healthy enough to practice today.
USC will be playing without its 2 top RBs, 3 of its 4 top WRs and the other 2 reserve WRs are questionable at best to play.
So this week against Utah, as far as scholarship players goes, USC will have: 3 tailbacks, 2 WRs, 0 TEs total.

My guidelines mean I'm there maybe a handful of times, every half year.
Guess the GiantBomb topic is technically there. But since it's more a discussion of when things are going on during a live show, there's not as much guarding, or whatever it is mod's do over there.
