2018 College Football Thread: Local man buys some teenage champions a 4 for 4 (2 Viewers)

[Politician Spock]

You guys are nuts if you think he would have blown up on Kirk Herbstreit or someone else like that. Absolutely a lot of that had to do with her being a female imo. He didn’t respect her and he showed his ### over it. 

How could anyone blow up on Kirk Herbstreit?

He's like rays of sunshine after a rainy day. 

 

[mr. furley]

Whew, I was losing so much sleep over this issue. Tua to start.

White House just downgraded the threat level to DEFCON 3. we can all finally rest a little easier today.

 

[mr. furley]

here's to hoping this one is better than last night's debacle

 

[Native]

Well, I dont think that's the way Taggart envisioned his first defensive series as a Nole.

:X

 

[mr. furley]

FSU offense looking like it just made up some plays right before the first snap

 

[bigmarc27]

Defense getting manhandled. 

 

[Don't Noonan]

Willie Taggart, great recruiter, poor coach.  All these early penalties look awfully familiar.

 

[mr. furley]

is @Fuller the VT coach?

 

[bigmarc27]

I’m trying to determine if this is game plan or if VT actually has better talent. I definitely did not think that would be the case.

[bigmarc27]

Probably not a great idea to run hurry up when you’ve scored on the previous play. 

 

[Penguin]

Once Jameis comes back in week 4 Fla. St. should be ok

 

[JaxBill]

I'll have to pencil in the Publix lobster special that week. 

 

[Don't Noonan]

You sound like a bitter 16 year old who got dumped.  Everyone in this thread is aware you don't like Taggert.  WE ####### GET IT.

. FDAS.  You are the best!

 

[Don't Noonan]

Taggart was great for Oregon actually, much better shape with the coaching we have now that stayed.

 

[mr. furley]

but, in his defense, based on tonight.. he might be right

 

[mr. furley]

crazy that FSU is still in this game.. in theory, anyways

 

[ffldrew]

If you have 3 timeouts - why spend them after 40 seconds go by. Don't you want the ball back with time on the clock

 

[PlasmaDogPlasma]

totally expecting them to win. Not much chance that they'll have that many things go wrong in the 2nd half.

 

[Slapdash]

Hard to tell.  FSU seemed like they have been underperforming their talent the last couple years.

 

[General Malaise]

Just turning this on.  The hell is FSU wearing? 

 

[Ramblin Wreck]

FSU should just hire Hugh Freeze and give him a couple of hookers a month in his contract.  

 

[Don't Noonan]

Just turning this on.  The hell is FSU wearing? 

think it was a planned blackout

 

[PlasmaDogPlasma]

Way to keep the Noles in this a little longer

 

[JaxBill]

think it was a planned blackout

Nah, that hurricane isn't that close.  People should have power for days.

 

[Ramblin Wreck]

Why do you line up 6 yards off the ball on 4th and a foot?

 

[trader jake]

The offensive play-calling on both sides has been innovative.  Well, it was when Chip Kelly first got to Oregon at least.

The lack of creatity is killing both offenses more than the sturdyness of the defenses or the weather.

 

[PlasmaDogPlasma]

The nine probably feels like great field position to the Noles by this point.

 

[Ramblin Wreck]

FSU has run 52 plays.   28 of them for 0 or negative yards

 

[offdee]

Just turning this on.  The hell is FSU wearing? 

The unreadable names on the back of the jersey is a nice touch 

 

[ffldrew]

Kirk - this game has been a disaster.

 

[Ramblin Wreck]

3rd and goal on the 9 and he takes the QB off the field.  

 

[trader jake]

FSU called a time out before that play.  Oof.

 

[Flying Spaghetti Monster]

3rd and goal on the 9 and he takes the QB off the field.  

FSU quarterback play or you could say the lack thereof has been killing the FSU offense.

 

[ffldrew]

Taggert's going to have to earn his check in the aftermath of this game - this looks like it's going to take a lot of coaching to fix.

 

[Nipsey]

 

[Flying Spaghetti Monster]

Taggert's going to have to earn his check in the aftermath of this game - this looks like it's going to take a lot of coaching to fix.

The anonymous coach said that Taggert as overrated, there was nothing in tonight’s performance that dispelles that premise.

 

[bigmarc27]

I am honestly shocked at how bad FSU looked from Francois, to both lines, to special teams. 

 

[H Jass]

Snarky FSU title about crapping the bed at home? ?

 

[Capella]

Team was 7-6 last year. Lost 31-3 to BC. Don’t know why anybody thinks this is a good team.  

That sucked to watch but everybody knew this had to be rebuilt. Not really stressed over it. The only thing that really irritated me was the lack of challenge on the td and the terrible play calling at times. Those things can be tightened up.

I suppose but they were a TD favorite and if nothing else, I thought they would score some.  I don’t mean to “noonan” this, but anyone can recruit at FSU. If this is what an off-season of coaching and game planning could muster, that’s a bit surprising.

This is going to be put to the test - with Mullen in Gainesville and Richt down South - there is a lot of pressure on Taggert to hold court in the state. Add to that the lure of Tuscaloosa just to the north and it's going to be an uphill climb if they don't keep in the hunt for ACC titles and with big game results/appearances.

Willie definitely deserves most of the blame but my point is this just isn’t a great team. The OL in particular might be the worst in the ACC.

 

[Fuller]

I’m only here for the thread title updates.

And to point out that Paxton Lynch was always bull ####.  @Fuller

Eh, he'll end up on a roster somewhere.

 

[gump]

Dan Mullen is the happiest guy in college football this morning.

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

Eh, he'll end up on a roster somewhere.

Calgary?

You forgot the defending national champions in Orlando! 

 

[Capella]

Why, did his recruiting class crack the top-30 now?

 

[General Malaise]

Well, I read an article about the Badgers offensive line eating at Red Robin and now I think they are destined for a championship.  Not even the mighty Hilltoppers can stop them this year.

Since the Wagering Thread is a shell of its former self, barely recognizable from the halcyon days of yore, I'll post my plays in here for all to fade.  Just buy me a cold one at the end of the year as a sign of thanks.

Purdue -115 
SDSU/Stanford Under 49 
FAU +21  :X
WVU -10 
Troy +10 
Mich +1 
MTSU +135 

At least Auburn saved me from complete ruination.

I still suck at this 'hobby'. 

 

[Moe.]

I am going to be in Vegas this weekend so I need some winners. 

I like Northwestern -3 against Duke. It opened at 2.5, I hope it stays at 3.
