Game Thread: Orange Bowl: Northern Illinois vs. Florida State

[CoastGhost]

At least I will get some sleep tonight. This is like watching two seagulls fight over a mullet head.

Should be a first down...

 

[crimsonaudio]

Looks like a bad spot for NIU.

Agreed.

 

[Tide1986]

Should be a first down...

I don't think so.

 

[crimsonaudio]

Looks like a perfect spot to me. But I tell you what, I might go for it. As crazy as it sounds.

I think it was right as he shifted the ball to his right hand before stepping OOB. Had he shifted it to the left hand, I think it would have been a FD.

Pitiful

 

[rgw]

Florida State is so bad...they should have this team finished.

 

[bamacon]

Most boring game since the Purdue massacre.

 

[Tide1986]

Does Florida State suck this much ro do they just not care?

Can you say North Carolina State?

 

[BamaFlum]

The FSU offense is offensive.

 

[bamacon]

Very inconsistent, especially on offense.

 

[Tide1986]

Well, according to the wishes of some, this would be one of the 12 bowl games...several of the other 23 games have been more exciting and better played than this one.

 

[RammerJammer14]

what a snooze-fest. I thought I could at least see FSU's skill players run wild but it seems they forgot the concept of the first down. calling it quits at halftime.

 

[Tide1986]

FSU is starting to click...

Terrible 2nd and goal play.

 

[Tide1986]

Wow...great call by the official...TD FSU.

 

[Tide1986]

Jimbo needs to peel the paint off the wall of the locker room during half time.

 

[VirginiaTide57]

These announcers crack me up...you would think FSU was playing a BCS team!

And when does NIU figure out their QB is too slow for the play calling?

lol

 

[BamaBrass]

If FSU ever decided it wanted to play grown man football, they would be a force to be reckoned with. Instead, they use the run as a "token" play.

The Matt Millan FSU infomercial you mean?

I loved it when he said if the starters all come back next year they would be a really good team.
