THE Fiesta Bowl Thread

[ssbriefcase]

He bobbled the ball. He didn’t finish the catch.

It wasn't bobbled, he took 4 steps

ESPN puts Herbstreit in an awful position by doing this game. He should have been on the other game.

 

[OrangeXtreme]

$EC Refs !!!

 

[ssbriefcase]

BS

 

[NateW]

3 steps. That’s a catch

 

[Dinkyspond]

that was a fumble

 

[OrangeXtreme]

Swofford must have had Disney make a phone call.

Herbie — “He was very deserving to think of himself [as the best DB in the country] that way.”

What a goof.

 

[BomberOrange]

I want Clemson to win and that was clearly a catch and fumble. Football move my @$$

Lebron sent Beats headphones to all tOSU players.

(Not an impermissible benefit.)

 

[bpo57]

Do either of you realize herbstreit’s twins are walk ons at Clemson? He’s annoying for a lot of reasons, but he’s not favoring Ohio state here.

I like Herbie but you're out of your mind if u don't think he leans toward OSU. Lifelong Ohio guy that played for OSU. I can't blame him. Your analogy would be like if I had twins that went to G'town and all of a sudden I'm indifferent when they play the Orange. C'mon man.

 

[OrangeXtreme]

Nice pick.

Isaiah Simmons is a beast. He put Syracuse in the torture rack. Covers ground really well.

 

[tbonezone]

big swing on those 2 series.

 

[Alsacs]

Chase Young is doing nothing.

 

[Alsacs]

When it gets right down to it Fowler and Herbstreit are amateurs. Fowler will never be Musberger or Keith Jackson.

Am I the only one annoyed by Fowler's constant yelling.

 

[Orangejet]

What a game so far. Go ACC!

Better he do that than pontificate on what's happening in Hong Kong.

I’m all for excitement but I agree his big play schtick is tiresome.

 

[ForCuseSake]

I loathe OSU and hope they lose.

They got boned on that catch/fumble.

It was a catch & strip.

 

[cuse10]

Really bad playcalling by Swinney tonight. Run the ball.

 

[SWC75]

A bubble screen where the number of blockers is equal to the number of defenders. Very innovative.

 

[Orangejet]

Don’t think we will ever be able to compete for a national title based on the talent of teams like LSU, OSU and Clemson. The gap is huge!!

Herbstreit moved out of Columbus 7-8 years ago to Nashville because he was constantly being chided by OSU homers about not being biased enough and he’s cooled towards them a lot since then. I’m not saying he can ever be completely impartial. But he hasn’t been biased in this game at all. If anything, I would argue this is the only match up with either of these teams that he wouldn’t be biased on. The only “pro-osu” comment was about the catch/fumble which honestly is harder to defend as an incomplete pass than the original fumble call and most would say the incomplete call is nonsense. Saying he’s openly cheering for OSU based upon what he’s actually said tonight is just not true.

And yet in 2017-18 we scored 50 points on Clemson and gave up 51.
