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.

    • What browser do you prefer to use, and why?

      The current Statcoungter desktop numbers has Google Chrome increasing it's market share this past year and currently commanding 75% share. Everybody else is just making up the numbers with even MS Edge losing 3% this past year and has dipped just below 10% share which is staggering considering it's default on every Windows deviced purchased. If these numbers are correct that terrible Edge number is both devastating and embarrassing for MS especially when you add in the terribly low Bing market share. This leads me to ask a couple of questions as the default browser holding just less than 10% market share seems really weird. It used to be that all Chromium browsers were being counted as Google Chrome in some cases.  Is this still happening? Do these high Google Chrome numbers contains some Edge user numbers?
    • Browser vendors pen open letter to Microsoft saying "enough is enough"

      Yeah, all web browsers seem to have some junk in them these days. The regular Brave browser has a lot of unnecessary stuff in it, similar to Microsoft Edge, so I don't see any benefits of using Brave over Microsoft Edge if you already have Microsoft Edge fully set up with ad blockers and that. The cleanest or best free browser outside of 'Microsoft Edge' I’ve tried so far is 'Samsung Browser'. It has very little bloat and is a nice-looking web browser with an inbuilt 'Ad blocker'. I also really like the web browser called 'Floorp' that is based on Firefox. This browser can also install Chrome extensions. I have a system wide Ad blocking program for Windows 11 that doesn't just blocks ads in the web browser, but over the whole system. I don't really need a web browser with an inbuilt ad blocker because of that.
