BLU-RAY Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 Honestly, the reasons I was so stunned were: 1) heard from multiple places that they were the hands-down best D in the country; 2) they annihilated a couple of bad teams, which tends to be the sign of a good team; 3) I haven't watched an FSU game since at least '04, I think, and I guess I still associate a hyped FSU team (and this is yhe first one I can recall for a while to have serious NCG hype) with those teams from the '90s.

TerraPrime Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 Ok, so, even though the Ducks beat OSU on the Gangnem Style show off, OSU definitely won this round, hands down. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLU-RAY Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 Just an FYI- the Gangnam Style thing was Ohio University, this one is THE Ohio State University *pukes in soup* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silly state university with similar names (I'm looking at you, Michigan State and U Mich). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greywolf2375 Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 To be crystal clear - fsu has started 5-0 in each of the last 4 seasons. And in each, they have lost to a unranked road team in their 6th game. They've lost to an unranked team I believe at least once every season since 1999.You'd think they'd learn to not schedule like that...correlation & causation and all that. Mostly just to cause Raidne's head to explode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WrathOfTinyKittens Posted October 9, 2012 Author Share Posted October 9, 2012 TCU's former starting QB Pachal - still in the top five for QB rating and passer efficiency I believe - is officially gone for the season. He's dropping out of TCU for a semester to do intensive drug and alcohol therapy and, according to Coach Patterson, is welcome to come back to TCU and resume his place on the team, though of course he'll have to compete for his starting spot for next season. A good decision, I think. It could do Pachal the good he needs and if he can come back next season and be a legitimate leader then all's good. If not, Boykin will have a season of experience to lead a stronger team in 2013. Frog fans currently predicting everything from 9-3 season to 4-8. I think we have a good shot against Baylor (if our defense buttons up) and Tech but doubt we can beat OU, UT, KSU, and we have roughly 0 chance against WVU unless Geno spontaneously combusts and takes his receivers with him. I say 7-5 at absolute best and obviously 4-8 at worst case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They both showed flashes against us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really hope OU gets the win this year, because Texas is playing a ton of young guys and is only going to get better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferrum Aeternum Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 RIP Beano...http://espn.go.com/c...e-football-diesSucks, I've always liked him.

MisterOJ Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 I was sorta surprised to find out Beano was "only" 81. That guy seemed like he was in his late 70s twenty years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalbear Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 Yeah, I messed up on the FSU bandwagony thing.The streak is this: they have lost 8 of 9 games when they've been ranked and gone against an unranked opponent in the ACC on the road. Wake Forest in 2011, NCState in 2010, Boston College in 2009, Georgia Tech in 2008. Clemson in 2007. It's just been a litany of doing this. This is the first time they've been undefeated this far into the season since 2005 (where they lost to Virginia, unranked, on the road). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronn Stone Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 I have to be at a work function on the east coast all day tomorrow. My glorious college football will be robbed from me unless they let us play on our laptops in the conference in which case I might be able to stream some Pac-12 network.I've always thought it would suck to be a sports fan on the east coast game time-wise. I think this thing gets out at 4:00 eastern, so I'll be stepping out right as the west coast night game starts. So strange.4:00 Eastern is 1:00 out west, no?

Bronn Stone Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 His whole post confused me. Tomorrow is Friday. Following Pac 12 football from the East is easy if you can stay up late and if you can find a feed. Daytime is pretty much off the table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baitac Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 RIP Beano. Gators play Vandy at 6:00p.m. We better get our act together because next week is going to suck. I hope the South Carolina game is at night. I thought I was going to die last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Scot A Ellison Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 BaItac,I believe our game is at 7:00 EDT. In Death Valley. Wow, does that make me happy. When was the last time LSU lost at home at night? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think you should win this one. I'm glad we're done with them, let me tell ya. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold Storm Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Looking forward to seeing ASU and Oregon play next week. Should be the Ducks' first real test on the road this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
