NCAA Football '12-13

Holy crap Florida State just flushed their season down the crapper against a shitty ACC team yet again.  How do they keep doing this?  At least it wasn't Wake Forest this time.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhyup.  NC State has a bit of talent this year, but C'MON MAN

Goddamn, Oregon has some fine brunettes.  Cheerleaders, too.

12 rows up from the visitors bench on the 6 yard.line. 

I can confirm CdM's views on Oregon's cheerleaders

How are the concessions?  Anything good?  Or your typical stadium food?

[sbr]

We tailgated for 4 hours and my buddy made a ridiculous seafood boil.  I haven't even thought about food since I've been on the stadium.  Prices were silly tho.

No alcohol in the stadium, had to walk 5 minutes to get s beer at halftime.

It sucks being a fan.  I am going to bed and I am not waking up til next Thursday.

I met a lot of Wyo fans there. Frankly, I was shocked how many of them came down here. Those guys really travel for their team.

Lol, the ACC.  Not only are there some bad OOC losses in there, but everybody but Miami, Maryland, and Duke has at least 1 conference loss as well.

Still, you ought to be happy--Maryland's alone in 1st in the Atlantic.

Yeah great win by WV.

It was a huge win for the program.  The team historically chokes when it has a big game against a top tier program, so to go into such an intimidating environment where they're picked to lose by a touchdown and come out with a win-- I'd put it in their top 10 all-time wins, possibly even in the top 5.

But you might be in for alot of games like that this year.  Against both Texas and Baylor WV had a chance to run away with it and let them back in the game.  Maybe the team enjoys the drama.  Or I could be totally wrong and both Baylor and Texas were just awesome when they went into panic mode.

Their inability to shut the door late in the game is troublesome, but I'm kind of numb to it at this point, mainly due to the fact that the Bengals rarely win by much more than a touchdown. 

WVU has a soft defense-- no doubt about that.  And that will cost them 2 or more games this year.  If they finish 10-2 & in the top 10 or 15, end up going to a decent bowl and Geno Smith ends up a Heisman finalist I'll be happy.  If they can figure out how to hold teams under 20 points I'll be ecstatic.  But right now I'm taking it one week at a time.

That's like being happy for the retarded kid who's in first because the rest of the retards have already tripped over themselves, and he hasn't.  Yet.

Including whatever real bowl opponent they draw this year.

That's what was said before last year's Orange Bowl.

From what I've seen so far, last year's WVU team actually had a defense in comparison and actually managed to hold teams under 30 points. 

But that's OK, go ahead and be defensive and enjoy your little bubble.

GODDAMMIT MACK WHY DID YOU CALL THAT TIMEOUT


Oh hey I just got home.

For the next big Top 5 brawls for the next two weeks: 

I just don't see Kansas State hanging with WVU in two weeks.

South Carolina has got road games to LSU and Florida the next two weeks.  Just don't see them surviving both of them.
