FSU Game Thread...

[Acuse]

We’re consistently competitive for the first time since 2012.

It’s a process. You don’t usually go from sucking to good while skipping all the steps in the middle. We’re in the middle. We don’t suck anymore, but we’re not good yet either.

Thank you for this post.

Tell me who is? I'm interested in names of kickers automatic from under 45 yards. 100%. Waiting

adam vinateri, stephen gostkowski

Fsu stinks this year, they just lost by 32 to a mediocre Bc team.

At BC, in the rain (I think).

We cannot turn it over to start the game, then miss Dungey for multiple series's. Not matter who we play.

But people are nuts, we are putting out a competitive product and have a good chance at a bowl, 2 home games and the away one is at least on turf.

 

[DoctorBombay]

My God.
I’m continually astounded by the sheer amount of stupid after a game like this.
We blew it. We should’ve won this one.
But the overreaction and clutching of pearls is borderline moronic. Sheesh

Unfortunately, I'm thinking that we are going to finish with the same record as last year. Another season with a big win in the Dome followed by a tank job to finish the season. I don't care if FSU has a team full of 10 star players, they are still a bad team and we repeatedly shot ourselves in the foot. To have two possessions in the first half start inside the opponent's 35 yard line and come away with 0 points is totally unacceptable. Two seasons in, and we have road wins vs. UCONN & BC. It's frustrating, to say the least.

 

[dasher]

Fixed.

lol I will take 8 and be very happy.

 

[NKR1978]

Tennessee is loaded with talent they suck too. Stars aren't always everything. Syracuse is the better team... they blew this game.

Was Syracuse the better team trotting out Mahoney for 3 series?

 

[SaltLakeOrange]

It’s selective second guessing.

If Murphy makes his first attempt we’re in
OT. That call didn’t cost us the game.

I disagree and I guess we’ll never know. What I do know is you take the points early. You don’t go for it from the 9 yard line then run them ball and expect to score. Idiotic call.

I agree he missed the first one by 10 yards to the left.

You don’t think we can beat Wake?

yeah, time to fire the staff and bring in another group.

 

[OburgOrange]

You clearly werent a fan when krautman was here...

I was. Since 1981. You? Was Ricky automatic from under 45? 100% of the time?

 

[leftytg]

This isnt FSU of last year or two years ago they are awful offensively and just got annihilated by BC. This was a bad loss amd a game we should have won.

wasn't the game AT BC on a Friday night?

Breaking news - team plays different at home than on the road.

Put another way, does anyone think Syracuse beats Clemson at Clemson this year? On a Friday night?

 

[orangecuse]

The first series on every away game...

Not Dino’s best game.

Feel so bad for Cole Murphy.

We’re 4-5 and exactly where most of us thought we’d be.

Well the bright side is...at least we don't have to worry about Dino being snatched up this year.

 

[jgeorge322]

I sure wouldn't want to be in a foxhole with a lot of the bunch here. You can tune in to watch us now and be pretty assured that you are going to see a good game. That is a stark improvement. We play a real tough schedule. the 7-6 teams we had in the old Big east couldn't have done that with the schedule we are playing now.

I think, at least hoping, people are just venting. Its like when you snap hook a drive and smash your club on the ground...

 

[dasher]

You don’t think we can beat Wake?

Or B.C.?

 

[Louie and Bouie]

Path to 6 is still viable.

Our 1st must win of the season next week at the Dome.

Bounce back.

I was joking. I see that your an old timer based on your avatar.

 

[Nick44]

31k next weekend for Wake. That outta make Dino happy.

 

[OrangePA]

It’s 2017. We haven’t been consistently good since 98.

Unless you’re referring to all the nut kicks we took in the 90s despite being good?[/QU



In 1997 we went to the Fiesta Bowl. In 1998 we went to the Orange Bowl. In 1999 we went to the Music City Bowl. In 2001 we went to the Insight Bowl.

I went to all of them and had fun.

Those were not "nut kicks" for me.

And neither were the two Pinstrip Bowl wins in 2010 and 2012.

 

[NKR1978]

Or B.C.?

Have a feeling NC State handles them.

 

[shandeezy7]

You don’t think we can beat Wake?

Didn't say I don't think we can beat them, but both games are going to essentially be pick-em games. And given our road woes, I gives us a 1% chance of beating Louisville.

Its great were competing, Im sick of losing games and not going to bowl games.

 

[Bayside44]

With a Dome and an offense that should provide lots of opportunities, you would think we’d be able to recruit that level of a kicker.

Who would have recruited the upperclassman kicker?

Not that I want to watch again, one of the guys on FSU was in a little too quick and Murphy didn't get the best traction it seemed. Wished 3rd down went into the endzone but it is what it is.

 

[dasher]

The Pin stripe bowls were nice but those teams don't go anywhere if we were playing in a real league.
