INSTANT REAX: FSU/UNC

Good thing they had that unsolvable Davis offense out there in the final drive. I’d hate to see what would have happened if they ran a “gimmicky high-school offense”.

SAT time – Ponder:ACC Crompton:SEC

After the half, I was mocking FSU when they got the ball, but not for long.

Wait, FSU actually ended up WINNING?! Now I’m pissed that I left my TV after Halftime. Goddamn it.

While wading deep into my liquor cabinet, the only thing I offer as a UNC fan (in regards to football) is profound sadness and disappointment.

Bourbon milkshakes, whisk me away to my comfortable street corner in the depths of shantytown. This football travesty can’t end soon enough for the state of North Carolina.

As a GT fan who’s had to listen over and over to UNC fans talk about how Butch was going to take them to the promised land because he didn’t run a “high school offense” and their program was a “sleeping giant” … I gotta admit I enjoyed tonight a lot.

To be fair – those UNC fans were right, Butch’s team doesn’t have a “high school offense”. It’s more like a “middle school offense”.

Despite Ponder’s brilliance, did anyone notice how insanely crappy Jimbo Fisher is at time management? How many delay of game penalties did they have because he wanted to discuss Camus’ “The Stranger” with Ponder over by the sideline, instead of sending in a freakin’ play? Bad time management = bad coach, because you know they’re wasting time in practice instead of getting in more reps (looking at you, Chan Gailey). Oh, and sweatervest = bitch mentality. It’s a 1:1 ratio.

Fell asleep with the score at 24-6. Woke up at midnight, turned off the TV. Woke up at 5 and see 30-27…huh?

Dook – the new powerhouse of NC football. That’s a sad comment.

TJ Yates throwing 6 yard passes with 10 seconds left was awesome. What the fuck are you thinking? On a side note, I couldn’t help but think of Foghorn Bowden beating Butch the dog’s ass with a board Looney Tunes style.

Anyone else notice Fowler refer to Ponder as “Weatherford” right before the 98 yard pass? Sheeeeeee-it. Night…meet…day. A really good QB can make any steaming bag of shit look reasonable. I’m looking at you Jimmah Clausen.

I do love the Mickey Andrew’s school of coaching. “I liked it better in the mid-90s when I could kill people with our front four and have the other seven guys just scratch their balls”. Nice insight on the way to the retirement home. Apparently that works better than “our DEs should crash down every play to clear a 15 yard running lane outside”. God bless guys who can’t do shit without ridiculous talent. We have a term for those guys….Larry Fucking Coker.

Butch lost the game with the call to kick the FG on 4th and 1. Horrible decision. They were running the ball down FSU’s throat. Just keep doing it. A TD there gives them an 8 pt lead and a chance.

Yeah, I thought the Mickey Andrews comments were hilarious.

“This was so much easier when we were dominant and I could just send a D -ine out there and say “Hold it there”. You mean I have to work at it these days?"

Now I see why Holly was so vehemently opposed to the prospect of Tennessee going after Butch Davis to replace Fulmer. If you’d told me nine months ago that Lane Kiffin would end up looking like the smarter choice, I’d have laughed in your face, but now . . .

Filed under: Things Bobby Bowden might have said.

At least we’re providing the ACC with some consistency this year?

Butch Davis is Mike Shula with rougher skin.

Dermatology—the little known camo.

I would love to see a yardage and yards/play breakdown for UNC in terms of runs-to-outside vs. not-runs-to-outside. The ratio could easily be 2:1. Maybe more.

Only mix it up when more than one item is required in the mix. FSU seemed unaware that runs were allowed outside the hash marks, and they were equally out of position on the first outside run as the last. KEEP DOING THAT UNC.

ACC: All Coaches Crappy Fucking Amateur Hour. Sorry, no properly-abbreviated phrase was strong enough.

SAME TO YOU, HTML! SAME TO YOU!

I want my damned strikethrough.

Thanks & Amen. Give those boys some Free Shoes.

Butch Davis needs to be choked with his own headset. UNC was running outside on FSU all day, so what did Butch go to in the second half? Shockingly clever runs up the middle for 1.3 yards a pop and punts disguised as long passes into coverage. Brilliant!

As a retired Cleveland Browns fan, I have a warning for Tar Heels out there: Paul Hilton Davis does not handle stress well.

I knew UNC was in trouble because of two things:

1. In the first half Jesse Palmer was about to service UNC’s Offensive Coordinator.

2. And even before that the Tarheels came out in those hideous uniforms. Let’s see, we have one of the coolest colors in all of college sports, lets go to dark blue, which just about everyone has….

I used to smirk at the notion that UNC was going to supplant VT, GT, or Miami in the division. Now, I simply laugh.

No one’s really commented on the fact that that’s a really fucking awesome picture of Butch Davis.

Take it from a ChiBears fan, that was all Shoop.

Please add Butch Davis to the long list of coaches we are THANKFUL we did not get (along with the guy at South Florida and the guy at meeechigan and the guy at UTEP*, etc.).

• OK, we know we actually got the guy at UTEP but, really, does that one count? I think not.
