FSU

[TampaBuzz]

BC had film on them to watch and a very experienced coach. FSU had nothing to watch. That may have explained one quarter or maybe most of the half, but nothing explains the offensive ineptitude. The QB1 has lost it and the team. They have to make a change.

I wonder how much the OC being suspended is messing with their ability to make adjustments?

It’s certainly not helping.

I still think what we're seeing there is the after affect of how they handled their snub last season.

Yes, they got jobbed but it seems they set a culture of complaining and folding in the face of adversity.

The team absolutely quit before the bowl game when, as many folks here said, they could've used it to send a message. What happened to 'unconquered'?

Instead, they quit and blamed anyone but themselves for getting beat. Bowdon had his faults, but he never would've stood for that. They made their name off being willing to take on all comers.

Fast forward to now and the same tone still exists.

All we keep hearing is how their DL is all 1st rounders. Well, once they got hit in de mouth in Ireland, what did we see. They folded like cheap leisure suits. Same last night.

Ultimately, they may have to get rid of Norvell just to reset.

I think they need a hard reset, and unfortunately that means Norvell has to go, too, which is a shame.

Not a defense of DJU who did not play well, but he had several passes flat out dropped.

But even on the sidelines you could see the deer in the headlights look. He didn’t even act like a leader or starter. He should have stayed where he was or transferred to a school with not much pressure.

He is just the focus. The rot has been there since they forced Bowden to have a coach in waiting.

Since this is the first year with unbalanced payouts for postseason play in the ACC, it would be hilarious if the chief complainer FSU got even less money than usual because they sucked.

Looks like some FSU supporters are ready for a change. See article below. I am sure that is not about to happen now. But they deserve the turmoil for their recent legal actions against the conference and the general arrogance of their fan base and their AD Alford. They are just better than the rest of the conference!

I would be interested to hear a statement from FSU's AD or President. For the past 8 months, seems they were all big talk about FSU and how the ACC was holding them back. Their alums and fans have to be chomping at the bit wanting to hear something.

 

[Techster]

Mike Norvell got a huge extension after last season. Oh, they're also fighting the ACC and paying Lord knows how many millions in legal fees.

Good luck, FSU.

How the mighty have fallen!

This is just my opinion some lots will not agree with me.
This is why I think Key is a great coach for us.

There are 3 ways to build a good team

1) you can try and do it will signing new recruits and showing them, you trust them and not worry about the portal (like Clemson). this worked well till a few years ago.
2) you can try and do it using mostly portal and not giving the younger players time to prove their self (like FSU) but you need to start the season with any easy opponent that if you punch them in the mouth won't punch back. and maybe give the player time to know what the guy beside you will do (play as a team not 22 individuals.
3) sign the best players you can and use the portal to fill in the spots you need them. Bring the players from the portal to make sure they are willing to work and fit in with the player you have, (like GT)

The funny part all summer FSU and Clemson fans said the other ACC need to step up. (now which teams need to step up)

 

[MountainBuzzMan]

Instead of thinking that FSU is bad, I am just going to convince myself that we are so good, that we broke their will to play football ever again last week

I choose to believe that GT and BC are the top two in the ACC and Miami is still not back

 

[Techster]

On a funny note (if you're not this guy), just be glad you didn't run your mouth like FSU did this offseason. This guy is probably the most wanted guy in America right now. The entire internet is searching for him, and they want him pay up...and eat dog poo...

Boy, Danny Kanell is having a bad forecasting stretch…

Hard to give up one’s biases about teams. Almost everyone believed the “NFL level players” talk.

FSU wanted an easy game with BC after a hard loss in Ireland. They played a tough, well prepared opponent in BC and crumbled before our eyes. FSU is a team that would prefer to score a knockout punch early and then coast. Slugging it out, clawing tooth and toenail, is not for them. Unless they show us something soon this season they are just going to confirm that they are quitters. Want to take bets?

 

[g0lftime]

I watched several YouTube videos last week of FSU bloggers analyzing the loss to us. They were in disbelief that they lost to lowly Georgia Tech. How was that even possible with their superior talent. They still thought they should have won. This BC beat down should be a lot of fun listening to them explain a loss to lowly Boston College. I will have a few days of grins listening to the FSU homer's this week as they analyze this loss.

Can we combine this thread with the other FSU thread or the non gt games thread ?

The day it August 7th, 2024. FSU is top 10 with the football road trip of a lifetime to open the 2024 vengeance tour as heavy favorites against a regional rival. They’ve reloaded at QB with a guy hand-picked by the reigning National COTY.

The schedule opens up perfectly to give them time to build chemistry with transfers, likely cruising to 5-0 before their first real test against Clemson at home. The game will be a showcase for the two premier programs in the conference and the tv ratings will be submitted as evidence as to why they should be allowed to leave for free.

They have 3 CBs to land ‘25 5* OT Josh Petty who’s announcing in 5 days. Life is good.

This is just further proof that the ACC is providing FSU too little $, they can't even compete against ACC teams anymore. FSU absolutely needs P2 money in order to be competitive going forward.
