Around SBN: Leandro Damiao Is Still Really Good

WHEN DID THIS START?

When did FSU begin this long, slow, and sad descent into mediocrity? Who cares? It really doesn't matter, as long as it's dead, right?

For historical purposes, we think the long slide to tonight's Emerald Bowl loss (positive thinking positive thinking positive thinking) began long, long ago with the Oklahoma/Florida State game in 2001's Orange Bowl. Richt left. Amato was gone. Jeff Bowden would soon take Chris Rix to hell, along with the whole formerly juketastic Florida State offense, and leaving a blinded Bobby to act out a sad little redneck Shakespeare until the denouement this year--Jeff Bowden's resignation and cashout, where he'll wipe the tears away with Seminole booster money until the year 2012, when his annual payout will finally end, and he will have to find honest work as a barista somewhere.

Flash back with us, and remind yourself that once a badass, always a badass, as is very much the case with Roy Williams here.

OMG I’m glad you finally came back. Otherwise I would never have remembered there’s a game on tonight – much less that FLORIDA STATE is featured in it!

(gleaned from someone else)

Lorenzo Booker will be holding a press conference after the game to discuss his future career options.

He will choose one of three mops.

Yeah Roy Williams. He had an excellent game on sunday . He was only good in college because Chris Simms would throw the ball to him.

FSU’s in a bowl game? Tonight?

I’d forgoten.

All right, I’ll ask, why is the one OU player saying go home Miami in a game against FSU?

Fun to see Old Man Weinke lumbering around a collegiate gridiron.

I can’t believe he is starting games for an NFL team, though.

Anyone see Weinke in the Falcons/Panthers game last Sunday? It’s amazing that someone who once won the Heisman can be so completely and utterly horrible. They only let him pass the ball 7 times, and he played the entire game.

I tend to disagree. While I’ve always gotten a hard-on watching FSU lose, the last fully errect one I got was when they fell to UNC 41-9 in ‘01. After that game I realized the mighty had fallen, and they’ve done nothing but prove it since that point. Tonight’s loss to UCLA is only going to get me like 20% harder. Ugh, how the Mighty have fallen.

Like BuckeyeIrish, I have to wonder if that OU guy on the sideline even knows who he’s playing (???).

When ESPN showed Jeff Bowden celebrating the final FSU offensive touchdown by Carr, I voice-captioned it in my head with “JEFFY!!!!” South Park-style. Was I the only one?

Uhh? They won?

21 unanswered points in the 4th.

Not that I actually watched the game or anything.

Chuck D, a little schadenfreude there?

BTW, in the clip, did anyone notice the attire of Stoops? No visor, but a sweatervest.

Sometimes we call them early . . . Regardless i don’t feel much emotion either way.

by Chuck D on Dec 28, 2006 1:42 AM EST reply actions  

Hazer, not only did Weinke throw only seven passes, but the coaching staff was calling direct snaps to DeShaun Foster and Deangelo Williams all day long. It was like they were saying, “Not only do we not trust you to pass the ball, we don’t even want you touching the fuckin’ thing.”

ReFSU played a football game? Last night? Of all things to miss… ah well, I had to catch up on my knitting at some point.

by sb on Dec 28, 2006 9:43 AM EST reply actions  

I think I’ve seen about 15 SC highlights this year of Roy Williams getting toasted for a TD. How did he make the pro bowl, because he’s married to one of the Destiny’s Child girls?

by George P. Budell on Dec 28, 2006 9:49 AM EST reply actions  

To give the OU player the benefit of the doubt, maybe he was referring to either a) some people thought Miami should have been in that game instead of demolishing UF in the Sugar Bowl (similar to Reggie Nelson’s upcoming taunts of “Go Home Michigan” after the victory in the BCS game) or b) the crowd in front of them being as they were actually in Miami (“Stay Classy, Miami”). Or maybe not.

16,

 Carolina was running the single wing; Fox was determined to instill some toughness in his players, and said they were going to call nothing but runs until they got a first down.
 Apparently, it worked, so they kept doing it.
