Florida State Schadenfreude

Clem and FSU deserve to meet in the portal v no-portal bowl. See who's flawed philosophy wins out.

Given all the ACC scheduling changes, checking to see if they play each other was one of the first things I did today… yes, Clemson does play FSU on October 5. And someone will lose this game!

 

[Northeast Stinger]

And someone will lose this game!

Since it’s Clemson and FSU, there’s a distinct possibility they both could lose.

I hate love to be this guy, but I hope we're not too attached to that guy. Why? Wait til we play ND and you'll see where his allegiance truly lies.

Shut up and just take the free publicity, kg!

We've won him over! Agree with your last point, though.

I was afraid beating fsu didn't mean much.Better than a loss but not as good as hoped.

 

[awbuzz]

I hope that FSU ends up 3-9... beat Memphis, Charleston Southern, and Florida (need to improve the ACC out of conference appearance).

Unless he's not catholic.

He's Irish. ND is the Fightin' Irish. End of discussion.

I'm thinking Helluva Block Party for the Miami game.....set up a ring on North Avenue.

Homecoming weekend.

The only hiccup would be that he has often talked about loving the underdog.

But yeah. Pretty sure he'll pull for Notre Dame on that one.

(But for us on all the rest.)

Congratulations on winning the internet today.

There are bunch of people in ireland that the catholic would trump the "fighting irish" name.

FYI, lower case "c" catholic (as in "one, holy, catholic, and apostolic church") means "universal" and doesn't refer to the Roman Catholic Church, with a capital "C". So, if you're talking about the Christian faith in Ireland, It's Roman Catholic. It's very different there than it is here, and in a not-more-religious way, just different.

Well notre dame calls themselves a "Catholic" University with a capital letter and they were started by an Order that was linked to the French Roman Catholic church. I just didn't capitalize and you got exactly what i meant.

Not to mention - Memphis might be feeling a bit of schadenfreude themselves re: their former head coach.

Talent is one thing - but something the player rankings can't tell you about is team chemistry and "heart." It seems like FSU has already shown themselves to be 1) a team without a lot of heart, and 2) quitters when they've been beat. Compare that to what Memphis is playing for, and...well, this could get ugly.

Vegas wants in on the trolling too.

The free shoes / Memphis game is essentially a pickem. (Line is F$U -1.5 per fanduel)

It seems like their future is very very dark this season.

Their first bye week is now. I’d imagine it’s a dumpster fire in Tally.

And their next opponent is Memphis. This seems like a terrible matchup as Memphis can score points in a hurry. Memphis is considered a dark horse G5 playoff team. And free shoes paid Memphis $1.3M to play this game.

Cue the popcorn 9/14

I hear the bye week is a 7.5 point favorite.

Now that you mention it, I’ve always wondered why they don’t call their teams the “Fighting French”?
