    It’s one game at a time for me. The only one you can play is the one you have in front of you! It never helps to look down the road and predict games. A football bounces funny anything can happen! Beat lsu!!

    Have we even come close to blocking any punts this year? I don’t think we even practice or try. Such is the sad state of ST.

    Dream On!

    The only hope we have for any win the rest of the season is if someone turns the ball over multiple more times than we do.

    No, but we got a key penalty on a punt block that gave the opponent we were having trouble stopping a first down! Its too risky to try to block a punt....we might get another penalty! ;)

    FSU is not the team on the road as they are at home. I think it's the most winnable of the 3. Keep Travis in the pocket. It's really that simple. We win last year if that happens. Pitt just held them to 24 and they couldn't hold ND to 50+. My biggest fear is if they come in undefeated and the game is close, the ACC officials will insert themselves to protect the sacred sow..

    We do get close and then veer off, I think because we're afraid of a roughing the kicker penalty.

    Nick de la Torre has predicted correctly the whole year. He’s 9-0. He’s got us losing to LSU and beating Mizzou and FSU to end the season. Take it FWIW.

    We haven't seen a Swindle-like screw job since...well...The Swindle. Not going to think the refs will be the difference. FSU is FAR better than we are. Heresy, I know, but they are strong.

    He also said on his show that he only picked us to keep fans happy so there's that.

    Was actually an interesting conversation he had last night on his show. Some good takes.

    Daniels may not be playing Saturday. If that is the case, then I like our chances for an upset. I don't see quit in our guys yet. Not like I did with Mullen.

    Like for real? My daughter once had em for months when she was a baby. If for real, one of the only way to get rid of them is short term Thorazine. Not kidding.

    Yeah, I mean after the swindle, I thought any ACC officiating crew that came within a hundred miles of UF would be lynched, or worse. Justifiably so. So, not a fan of allowing those vermin to infest our stadium.

    But trying to be realistic, the SEC refs screw us too, so we get hosed whichever crew is officiating, or whether we play there or here.

    But isn't it a sad commentary that college refs are so biased and corrupt, that you even have a system in OOC games where you get their refs at home, yours on the road?

    Think what that says: they cannot be trusted, and the system recognizes it.

    I hope he is right again.

    I always thought we would win one of the last three; wasn't sure which one, but because FSU has played a wuss schedule, is a rivalry game, and we get them at home, I thought it would be the Holes. Had we held serve against the piggies, that would have made for a decent season, imo.

    I’ve tried to watch most of the games this year but I’m not sure about this one, I really don’t like to get beat by the team from Tally.

    I had surgery in February this year and during my recovery I had the hiccups for almost a week and it was hellish. I feel sorry for most anyone who gets a long term case.
