MARK MANGINO HAS SOME WORDS FOR YOU
This may be all you see of us today–we’re headed to Clemson for the Bowden Bowl, where we can safely root against Bowden no matter what happens–but in the meantime, Mark Mangino would like to show you that underneath that cuddly exterior lies a facemask-grabbing, fuck-dropping coachbeast just dying to chew your ass off.
FYI: Raimond Pendleton was not eaten afterwards. An assistant usually sprinkles them with salt and other spices during the diatribe in those instances. (HT: Pete Jayhawk.)

He shouldn’t have hurt his team with the penalty. That being said, he was excited at having done something wonderful, and dove into the end zone. A lot of you guys are projecting serious resentment at him for showing joy on the field. Guess he didn’t realize that college football is a multimillion dollar business

To me personally, there is nothing more obnoxious than “acting like you’ve been there before” i.e., pretending you’re not happy because you are SO GOOD that touchdowns just aren’t a big deal to you. Such arrogance.

“didn’t need this phony, self-centered crap”
WTF are you talking about? He leaped into the endzone. Everyone who is so against this guy jumping into the endzone is a repressed mama’s boy who probably got the shit beat out them every day for 12 years straight. He jumped into the endzone, period. Where is all this “me-me-me” stuff everyone apparently saw? I think I blinked and missed it.
Jumping into the endzone was never a big deal until the sissies at the NCAA made it one. The supporters of sissified rules like that need to get on the first plane to Sweden or France and quit dragging this country down. I’ll bet you were the kids who played sports where score wasn’t allowed to be kept and everyone got a trophy at the end of the season that said “#1.” Look where these lame-ass rules got you. Pretty pathetic, huh?

Jesus kids…one would think that we were talking about banning celebrations all-together. For everyone who said that Mangino shouldn’t have gone off on the kid, its not like this is a new rule, the kid just cost the team a NEEDLESS penalty. Have enough fucking brains to not fuck up for something that CAN BE AVOIDED….
oh wait. These are college football players…I shouldn’t expect anything more than the minimum requirements for having complete thoughts.

“If you’ve ever played football…”
I played a lot of football, but it was before the days of self-promoting, look-at-me buttheads. The coach makes a great point: The returner had help from 10 other guys on that play, but he wants all the attention focused on him.
The emotion argument is weak. Guys played with plenty of emotion in my day, but didn’t need this phony, self-centered crap.

Wow, Joshua Perry,
You just made my mama look like a freakin genius when she would exhort me to comport myself with dignity, because, in those immortal words: Class will out every time.
There ya’ go: home-trainin’ free of charge.

Just exactly who is getting shown up here? Mangino acts like it was his own teammates.
Pendleton should dump the gatorade bucket on his famously corpulent coach.

Trickett’s line to his OL after halftime was way harsher than that. He looked at his guys and said, “F*ck you. That’s horsesh*t. F*CK YOU!.”
and then repeat.

I knew they wouldn’t give it to him for the sole reason that the officials didn’t want any problems. The students were already on the field. Can you imagine what would have happened had they given FSU the catch, the ball at the 40 and one more play — and then they score and win the game on that play? Any dumbass could have seen it was a catch and that there was time left, and I’m sure Ron Cherry saw it, too, but he took the safe route as I knew he would. Hopefully it will come up in the ACC conference call this week, but I don’t expect much from it because Cherry is considered one of the top officials in the ACC. Draw you own conclusions about what that says about ACC officials.

Not that it mattered all that much since it would have only allowed for a hail mary on the last play, but that last call in the FSU-Clemson game was BS. Here’s why:
Whether the pass was incomplete or caught by the receiver who then stepped out of bounds with his left foot, the same amount of time would have transpired. So the issue should’ve been about how much time was left on the clock after the play, not just whether or not the catch was made. I personally believe there were about 2 seconds left.
But who cares, I’m a UF fan anyway.

Signal to Noise at #33 nailed it: Whether or not it should be a penalty, it is a penalty, and Mangino has every right to rip his player a multitude of new ones for knowingly pushing his team back 15 yards just so that he could pull an end-zone move that isn’t even original anymore.
Or maybe this was just the ball carrier’s idea of “civil disobedience” to protest what he saw as an unfair penalty rule. But I doubt it.
At any rate, props to Mangino. I hope we see a lot more of what he did and a lot less end-zone diving.

“…..and hopefully we won’t hear “FSU didn’t score/only scored three because the SEC defenses are so tough†again this year.”
Domer Guy, should we change it to Georgia Tech defenses and…you get the idea

Clemson fans rush the field……then have to go back……then the fans rush the field again…….but have to go back.
The final play of the game was under review, and after watching the replay eleventy billion times it’s clear the FSU WR made the catch in bounds. The ref says after review, that it’s not a catch. What?
Couple of weird calls in that game.
Clemson QB should have been called for grounding in his own end zone. No call. I don’t like FSU but was kinda rooting for them to made the huge comback at the end.

I listened to the radio broadcast of the game, since I wasn’t near a TV, and it was pointed out there at least that the students always run out on the field after the game to sing the fight song.

#45 — I agree. DW didn’t do that badly, and actually came through with some good throws in the second half. O-Line was useless, so Trickett just saw tonight what kind of a job he has transforming what is essentially a group of fat men into blockers.
And I don’t know what the big deal has always been about Greg Carr. He’s just a taller version of Talman Gardner. Hands of stone.
Second half was encouraging, and I think they’ll get better as the season goes along.

Storm the field? Well, Bowden always said that if they rush the field when they beat you, you must be doing something right. Obviously FSU isn’t doing much right these days, so I think Clemson fans would have stormed the field for beating pretty much anybody tonight.

Should you really be storming the field after almost blowing a three touchdown lead?
