I still think the Bucs should have drafted him in round 3 and grabbed an OL in round 2.

In the words of Ed McMahon (google him kids) “You are correct Sir”

Brings back memories of the ND game weekend. Had my first Goose Island (Honkers Ale) at Lou Malnatti’s. 

Obviously he didn't watch all the tape. He didn't mention the alternate (but pretty much the same) series of downs: 

1st down dive for 2 yards,  2nd down go shot near the sideline incomplete, 3rd down 6 yard pass (3rd and 8), punt.

You can see improvement!

Got close for a second with a few minutes left but recovered and won a game they were supposed to win. Wish that could be said about a certain other program.

In his article about the possibility of a FSU-USF bowl game he makes this insightful observation about the viability of the ACC wanting to play Cincinnati or USF:

"Moreover, the AAC has a history of wanting its best teams each year to play Power Five schools in bowl contests, meaning the league likely would be far more interested in, say, a Cincinnati-FSU matchup. But the conference also has a history of working with its bowl and TV partners to forge the best matchups. "

Were some of our conference mates promoted to P5 status without telling us?

What he said - Everyone made mistakes in the second half.

What he usually says - The team was not prepared and that's on the coaching staff. 

What he should have said - The offensive play calling was predictable and ineffective as usual, changes will be made. 

If not the above there is the usual alternative  -  1st and 10 (dive),  2nd and 8 (long pass near sideline incomplete), 3rd and 8 (pass 6 yards short of marker), Punt

I think my point was missed or I didn't convey it properly.  

There are many on here that expect noting less than perfection from USF Football.  Anything less and they lash out at the coaching staff.  They must be some employee at their job.  Anything less than perfection and they should be fired by their own standards.

 If my my wife who knows nothing about the job description or performance requirements asks why do they keep doing that thing that hardly ever works time after time, that doesn't mean they need perfection at their job, just self reflection and self criticizing. It has nothing to do with perfection.

True, but IMO, Publix is starting its downward slide. I actually had a sandwich the other day and was like, meh. Now dont get me wrong, its still #1 but i'm guess there was a time when Winn Dixie was #1 as well. 

You are correct sir! Winn Dixie was above Publix in the 70's (I can only speak of the Bradenton area) with their Chek Cola, "The beef people" and number of stores. Publix was a close second but not at the same impact they are now. 

As in we gotta show something and it's better than SMU @UCONN 

No access to video  

Did Barnett’s passing look better in that flurry before the touchdown or were the receivers just open? 

I am sitting in Reykjavík Iceland and following the plays on a sports app. It is very stark to see written “Cronkite rush middle” or “Ford rush middle” time after time (usually for 2 yards).  

Toatal Chaos?

Hmmm..... I seem to remember a team that got to #2, not all by merit but Total Chaos!

If I could only remember what team that was.

and the kicker with the broken hand and the 5-5 foot running back express their excitement of playing the worst team in CFB

You mean the 5-5 foot used as an up the middle power back running back

Mr Kumbaya

The tackling is certainly better tonight. Not great but better. 

Alright we have the momentum!  Dive right. MO's gone

The curious case of Benjamin Button er... Blake... Barnett

That makes perfect sense what BB stands for

Matt Baker has major wood right now.

I'm guessing but "major" would not be the word

Ben Williams -Slow with no acceleration but he made up for it by having no moves

 Supposed to be a beautiful night here, low 70"s high 60's, so I probably will start a fire in the fire pit, crank up the hot tub, get some cold Ciders and watch it with my girl from the hot tub.

Since you will only be watching the first half of the first quarter I will remind you the whole game will be on ESPN 3 when you get around to it tomorrow.

What was said?

I was just going to ask the same thing. I was going into a meeting when I heard this.

However here a link to the interview on 620

Short summary

Wife and kid,  Mission to win Conf Champ,   UMass summary including knowing about the chase for 300 yards

general quarterbacking and team stuff

Ron Diaz will interview Blake after the 1:00 break. (Now)

"With our rich tradition of conference championships and superior talent. 15-2 should put him on the hot seat and we can pony up to rehire Tag"

I remember my first beer!

He did leave the game at one point with one arm looking like it was hurting. This was sometime in the 2nd quarter. 

Florida State and Tavares Pressley remember (or not as the case may be)
