Don't get too down dude. F$U and the Orange Bowl haven't had the best relationship ;)

[AJerman]

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:

[mattmatik]

Told you.

[D!ABOL!C]

This is depressing...

[Snipe]

these kickers SUCK

[AJerman]

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.

[JAbad28]

Damn PSU Just go!! I hope they stop em' and he misses...

[AJerman]

Ugh, they are gonna go for it, not even a good line up... we'll see...

Kick is Good, PSU wins, 26-23.

Get out the wheelchairs so the coaches can go meet in the middle.

[Snipe]

damn that was close, i thought he missed it again lol

Hehe, Orange Bowl + F$U = Very Bad Things.

[AJerman]

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:

Bobby Bowden should have asked for a kicker for Christmas. This game was almost as bad as the UM/FSU game earlier this year.

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.

Owned?

How is a 3 point win in triple overtime owning a team.

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.

And wide left, and now down the center (off the pole).

It was a much better game than a lot of people (myself included) thought it would be. Personally, I think FSU gave Penn State a much better game than Marcus "Spiky" Vick and Virginia Tech could have.

[DreAming in DigITal]

/\ 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.
