2014 College Football Thread: The Will Muschamp Memorial

[Valisk]

Do you actually think he hurt the Florida State brand? Or the college football brand? For shouting something dumb in public? The only thing he damaged is his own draft stock, which won't matter if he owns bones the rest of the season.

I do. A lot of unwanted attention is on FSU for off the field shit. You keep rolling out in front of the media with apology after apology, and you don't think your brand is taking a hit? Ask the NFL how that's working out for them.

Either way, Famous Jameis is ultimately hurting himself as you said. The university is not wrong for trying to get out ahead of their star player doing dumb college kid shit.

[Headspace]

Jameis is being smart. He's tanking his draft value to go to a good team to win the start job and Super Bowl.

[Headspace]

He should do something dumb before UF game

[Plow]

lame ; ;


at least we didn't embarrass ourselves

[Anoat]

Auburn copying FSU's ball boy, Red Lighting. Auburn's ball boy has been named Blue Thunder. Nigga, you for real?!

just noticed rutgers is a 6.5 point underdog this week

to navy

RUTGERS

[Kirin]

K State missed more FG's than Georgia.

Least we were on the road.

[Zetanio]

I stopped paying attention to CFB for like a week and all sorts of shit happens.

The fuck.

[Plow]

Aki you guys better win out so when we win the big 12 by an average margin of 1.03 points a game we can still get in the tourney.

[Akiyama]

Great game Plow/K-State! I was super worried all game cause Auburn's offense just..never really got any rhythm at all. Probably a mix of K-State's Defense playing suuuper solid + them just dropping balls left and right. So many missed opportunities and got really lucky too that k-State shot themselves in the foot a few times on really big scoring drives. It should've been like 13-3 in the first quarter or something for them. Ugh. Ugly ugly game, but a win on the road against a ranked team for the first time in god knows how long? I'll take it!

My dad was USNA '73 and when I'm home we watch Navy games together. Niumatalolo is 51-30 since 2008 with two bowl wins. Not bad for a service academy.

ANCHORS AWAY

Yeah it was a really fun game to watch even though it was really sad watching us screw ourselves so much.

In the end it didn't feel like it would have mattered that much anyway cuz we just could not stop em when it mattered, but of course you never know when all it would have taken was 1 big stop.

I definitely feel a lot better about the team, though, and think we do have a legit shot to win the Big 12 now, which I would not have said before that game.



also... be prepared for some potential trouble:

In 25 years of paying attention to him I've literally never heard Snyder accuse anyone of cheating before. Ever.

[archibaldcrane]

I always laugh at accusations of signal stealing in baseball or football.

Get better signals, it's your responsibility to protect yourself from signal theft, not theirs to be gentlemanly about it.

[Plow]

Depends on how they're going about it. There are rules. Things within those rules are your responsibility to counter. Things outside those rules are not.

This is the second team to accuse them of it in their last 2 games against respectable teams.

[archibaldcrane]

Is Snyder accusing them of breaking the rules?

[Anoat]

Well, the deal with Auburn knowing FSU's signals was more the fact that Auburn had FSU's former QB coach now coaching for them. That was a derp on FSU's part for at least not acknowledging the fact that, hey, this guy that used to be our QB coach now coaches for our opponent, maybe we should switch up our signals.

[Plow]

Don't think so, but when it's the 3rd school in 4 (and both of the last 2 ranked teams) where it's a problem, there's probably something going on.

Either they've suddenly figured something out about college football signal calling that somehow nobody else has figured out in decades that allows them to recognize signal calling at a rate nobody else manages... or there's something fishy going on.

K-State and Arkansas have both attempted to actually change signals at halftime (which showed at one point when KSU had to burn a time-out late because pretty clearly nobody knew wtf play was being callled).

FSU's response was this lol:

FUCK YEAH

FAIR WINDS AND FOLLOWING SEAS

[Mertron]

it's fun to stay at the ymca

[Akiyama]

Yeah I heard about the signal stealing thing. That sucks. :< I wouldn't deny Auburn's trying to get an advantage but even if they did last night it didn't really help em considering they played like such shit, Haha. That and the team's signs (Auburn's I mean) are Oregon-esque funky so I guess other teams just need to come up with crazy whackadoo signs

I dunno, though! It is sort of funny. I'm sure some people out there think the only reason Auburn wins is cause they steal them football signals. RIP

the only potential trouble the team has going forward though IMO is with the suspension of Whitehead in the already soft secondary. A shame he was a douchebag.
