The Goat Pen

Impossible

Well, the best team in the nation lost a squeaker to my Noles tonight. Sorry JB, you'll have to keep waiting for someone other than FSU to make some noise in the ACC.

This team is special. I don't think we win the MNC because I still think we have a stinker in us with all our youth, but good fucking LORD I love watching Jameis Winston play. He is just plain fun. I hate that ESPN is now drooling all over us but fuck Clemson.

Good god, that was impressive. No way to fly under the radar after that display of ass whippery...

That was totally unexpected as far as I was concerned. I thought either team could take it by less than 7 (either high or low scoring), but a freaking complete domination was not expected. Hopefully the team can continue on that level of play for the rest of the season.

Next weekend is going to make 1995 and '93 look like a friendly game of chutes and ladders. Hopefully the game will rated NC-17 otherwise women and children that watch it will be traumatized for life.

It'll likely be closer than you might think unless NCSU gives up before the game starts. NCSU's offense matches up against our defense better than Clemson, and you have to figure we'll be a little flat after two amazing performances and Top 10 Miami up next. However if Jameis keeps Jameisin', we'll be ok.

I remember one of those games Auggie is referring to. The Noles were coming off a loss and before the game, one of their players was asked if he thought they still had a shot at the championship and he said "Yes, but we've got to win the rest of our games by alot, and I'm not talking about 21-0." I put a dime on FSU and I think they won by 60...

We're basically in the same position now. While AGAIN I don't think we win out, if we do we will have to continue steamrolling everyone to have a chance to jump Oregon if they and Bama win out. I think all of the hand wringing and "who gets left out?" theories are pointless halfway through the season though. If you subscribe to the "win shares" theory and give FSU a 95% chance in each of its remaining games (too high, but still), we have a 73.5% chance of winning out.

At this point, I don't care. My attitude may change by end of season but if Oregon and Bama win out, they have earned a berth in the MNC game as much or more than FSU, so I would congratulate them and hope we win the Orange Bowl. I thought Notre Dame was a sham last year but I don't feel that way against Bama or Oregon. They are very good football teams.

Oh and a funny (to me) anecdote. I was reading the Clemson message board ShakinTheSouthland. The moderators had been extremely thin skinned all week. I was browsing the game thread after the thrashing, and one of their posters had remarked that he felt better knowing FSU had only scored 13 legitimate points. I responded "LOL" and was banned. What a bunch of pussies.

Seminoles, thank you for the tremendous service you performed for you country on Saturday night.

Thanks for taking your foot off the gas in the second quarter Jimbo. You easily could have laid a hundred on us. I hope your mercy doesnt cost you a shot at the title game. Good luck the rest of the season.

That was pretty classy. In Texas had he put up any more points some redshirts mom would have cried bullying.

The real test is next week. Everybody knows FSU went easy on State today. Oregon is locked into a struggle with UCLA at the half. If FSU has trouble with Miami next week then things get close and FSU may need the style points. If they handle Miami easily then today doesnt matter.

Im not gonna make any more predictions until IB does. This dude is money in the bank.

Up up up!

This team is really, really good. Possibly better than the '99 team.

If we struggle with Miami I'll be shocked, I really think we'll score at least 40 and it could be worse than that. Miami should have lost several games already and it's time to put those bitches in their place.

I just hope Morris continues to throw the high ball...

You guys are looking very impressive this year.

we haven't seen this type of play since the 90's

So should I root for or against FSU when they play Miami?
