Gonna have a chance for PSU here coming up. FSU will get a field goal at best.

WOW, OFF THE UPRIGHT! still 23-23, PSU has a really good chance here.

So uhh... when it comes to kicking situations I think I might just go for it from now on :laugh:

Wow, now what are they trying to do? I wouldn't try to kick it on 3rd, not with that kicker at least.

Okay, good, they were just confused apparently as the announcers said, gonna try to get a little more first, or at least line it up a little better. I doubt they are gonna mess up again though.

Wow, first down, looking even worse for FSU.

I guess "F$U" is one of those clever things like "M$". I think I'll just start replacing all of my S's with $'s :rolleyes:

I guess you weren't around for the Free Shoes University scandal in the 90s. Thus the F$U.

Feels great to have yet another team own F$U. Way to go PSU.

I don't know of it, no, and if there is some "reason" to say it then I apologize. I am just tired of seeing little kids say things like "M$" and just assumed it was another similar situation.

No need to apologize. I dont know if you can find much info on it on the net, but I'll look for a summary.

Ah, found a classic article on it: http://tampatrib.com/Sports/columns/MGBWRXPQFGE.html

Method: lets just say FSU has had issues with field goals in the past.

I know. Wide Right will be forever associated with the Seminoles.

/\ I think your probably right...VT has an extremely immature and inexperienced team this year (emotionally and physically)...FSU has played great in big games and VT has stalled out this year in big games.

As for the classless move that Marcus made...

January 3, 2006

The following is a statement from Virginia Tech Director of Athletics Jim Weaver:

"The unsportsmanlike conduct of quarterback Marcus Vick in yesterday's Gator Bowl game against Louisville is unacceptable behavior and contrary to the Hokies Respect Campaign.

Such on-field action is not reflective of Virginia Tech football nor of the values we hold at Virginia Tech. I and my colleagues in central administration are embarrassed and this athletic administration will not condone such acts of unsportsmanlike conduct. We will review and assess this incident further and deal with it accordingly."

There was a big segment in our local news (Roanoke/Blackburg) about the actions of Marcus and public opinion around here. 100% of the feeback from the public (locally) was that what he did was intentional and should be suspended ...48% (I believe) want him suspended indefinatly. Thats just not Va Tech football and it was an embarassment to all of us VT fans... :angry:

FSU - 8-5

UF - 9-3

Now all those noles can shut up about going to the orange bowl instead of a bowl like the outback bowl. You have to take care of your own business before you talk smack. Losing to your rival and then losing your bowl game, I hope that doens't sit well with them.

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      I think the car analogy is more this: Left hand drive, basic commands on the left side of the infotainment screen. Right hand drive, basic commands on the right side of the infotainment screen. Granted, you're not swapping between the two often so it's doesn't really work. But it's to do with the proximity of you (your mouse, or the driver) to the controls.

      I mean, the old one was broken and so stupidly complex for many users, so I don't see that as a feasible option. A context menu needs to be simple to use, and for me the Windows 11 style actually worked really well for me, and many others. I used to have to scroll the damn context menu just to get to "file properties" in Windows 10. That was not a good experience, and I'm sure you'd agree. What they're trying to do is make it the best of both worlds, as clearly you'd prefer the Win10 style. I'm curious how they're going to do this.

      The "Show more options" has its place, as does the simpler context menu, but it should perhaps be a separate fly-out rather than relaunching the entire, old context menu. The old context menu was getting absurd in Windows 10. Often I'd have to make the context menu scroll just to get to "File properties" on my old laptop. Even without much installed, the amount of items was just too much. It's a context menu, not a "do all" menu. Making it configurable is fraught with challenges too, so I'm interested to see how Microsoft tackles this one.

      I don't hate the new menus, I am not a fan of the lack of features and how they went live when they clearly are not complete. The menu itself presents much better than the previous - but what's lacking (IMO) is: 1) Any kind of automated manipulation such as: "this goes on the new menu because you use this feature more often on this filetype" "this is rarely used and will fall back to the old menu" 2) Any kind of user manipulation such as: "a UI to add/remove/order items to the new menu"
