I haven't yet decided whether I'm going to watch this game in its entirety. Florida is my second team and they're on at the same time. The BC game is just so uninspiring. Mediocre team at awful team. Nothing at stake. Bleh. I guess I'll watch most of it.
That's the spirit, besides Tebow has played two uninspiring seasons since his Heisman. This Florida team is definitely living on the edge, a la Iowa, 'Bama will take them down, sorry. Also, I think as BC people we should root for FSU, as distasteful as that sounds, so that a) The SEC gets taken down a notch and b) enough FSU people rally around Bowden to bring him back so we can keep beating them.
BREAKING NEWS, ESPNU finally on Comcast's lineup in my area, it's been like the gulag around here all season, and the U likes to snap up BC games. At some point the pecking order of ACC TV coverage was explained and the U always gets like 2nd or 3rd pick, and we are usually available as JP likes to take one of the Southern schools.
I take it the Bowls will not select until after the title game, unless the lower bowls can come to some prearranged agreement? Anyone? Bueler?
Really? Not sure if you're going to watch? Sure, there is nothing major on the line for the BC game, but its easy being a fan when a team is good. Times like this are when the team needs its fan's support. Games like this are when we need to be loud for the defense.
In my mind a second team is a team you watch when the first team isn't playing. If the second team takes priority, it ceases to be a second team.
I can see not feeling compelled to watch BC-Md. - it's not the most compelling 'rivalry' game (boy, wouldn't Syracuse have been a perfect fit for us in the ACC?). Still, this team has been so inconsistent, I'm curious to see how Uncle Dave plays. Next year, we could have a very good team, considering the D and Herzlich coming back. It'd be nice to not have to deal with a newbie QB again.
Thanks for the pep talk, guys. I'll probably watch most of the game, mostly to see if Shinskie can pull it together and not gift-wrap the ball to the defense. I'd love for him to re-gain the form he had earlier in the season, though I doubt we'll see that kind of performance before the bowl game. Go Eagles.
Those empty seats are why I have to believe that Friedgen is on his way out. The Fridge has become very unpopular with the fan-base. I've even heard rumors of alumni that may be willing to pay the buy-out. And that isn't even talking about Franklin.
I'm watching the game with my brother. He said, "Boy the defense did not come to play." I told him, "Nah, they do this every single game. They always have a first drive that looks like crap and then they tighten up for the rest of the game."
When are we going to have an option to just watch the game with crowd and field noise and no announcers? These ESPU dudes are as bad as our pass defense...
Awesome defense is awesome! Wait, no it isn't. Damn, this offense is terrible and they just decide to not cover receivers or pursue to the outside. Honestly, that was a well-executed drive by Maryland against a defense that never takes chances. Coupled with our offense that doesn't take chances (see third and fourth and goal from the one) and, well, lack of excitement/leading.
This is going to get ugly if McGovern maintains this delusional cushion pass D...Old Coach Ralph knows how to beat us when he sees a weakness like our soft coverage. Every game we've lost this year featured this brilliant strategy.
These announcers are terrible and so is the quality of the field. This coaching staff needs to get a little more aggressive and take some chances. We're just not a program that is going to out-talent many teams. Yes, we have some wonderful players that will play on Sundays. However, we won't have a defense talented enough to impose its will while sitting back in coverage or an offense that will just run over quality defenses.
And yes it was a lucky break on the late hit, but guess what happens when you take chances and throw down-field? You force the defense to take chances and you get lucky sometimes.
WHY do we have such a problem dumping off a pass to a TE on 3rd down and short? Who makes these jackass calls to pass to Gunnell when we all know the Shinskie ball is only good 1 out of ten times? It's an H1N1 play call. Now the Terps will short pass us down the field again.
Harris has been awesome so far, but someone is going to have spell him at some point. Do you think Isaac Johnson could carry the ball a little (he was a RB in high school)?
Shinskie's not getting play calls that he can perform. It's nuts that we can't get him short passes underneath to just move the ball. Play action, short pops to Montel, something realistic. These tipped balls of his have killed us in the last 4 games... Somebody text that pinhead in the booth with the phonetic pronunciation of Sid's name...
maryland is terrible, but it's not like we're crazygood this year (and did you see all those close games maryland's been in this year?). We're on the road, it's a sort of pointless game, I'm happy with how well they're doing. Do you remember the first 9 minutes of the last game?
If ever there were a day to try the screen to Jeff Smith again today looks like the day. Maryland is giving it away and Shinskie seems to have figured it out.
We do get the ball after the half, so I guess we didn't *need* to press the issue on this drive. However, the lack of urgency in the red zone from the coaches continues to puzzle me.
This sucks. With 20 plus ticks on the clock and Spaz whimps out? Very disappointing message to send to the offense and the fans. 3 points when it should be 7--twice. Talk about a way to ruin the halftime margarita... Go Eagles! Let's hope the coaches sing at a lower register in the 2nd half 'cuz this was pure castrati-ville.
Our play-callers absolutely settled for three and they did it three times! Not two. Three times! Good gravy. If we'd only gotten two of those three (and not gotten a field goal on the other), the score would be 21-10, which juts feels better. If we'd gotten a field goal in addition, it would be 24-10, which is borderline dominance.
Clemson stunk the joint out today - can't wait to beat them in Chestnut Hill next year. They actually started to believe they were a great team - they suck.
Awful play-calling on this drive. The outside stretch run was called, what, 5 times and never run for positive yardage. Not once! And then, because the coaches don't want to take any chances until they don't have a choice, we come away with zero points. The tally: 4 red-zone trips, 3 field goals, no touchdowns. Gary Tranquill's offense: it's . . .
If our O Line is worth Dick Cheney they'll open a hole for Montel...but then, another really dumb playcall... and then Dave drops the ball. Another FG...I knew he'd miss that. It's bad OC karma. That was ATROOSHUS!!! Ooops...I'm channeling a a TV announcer with a frontal lobotomy...
This game is looking more and more like BC will find some way to lose. You can't let a bad Maryland team hang in the game with you. On another note, outside of his kickoff return to begin the game, Spiller has bad today. Ruined his Heisman hopes.
The entire ACC got embarrassed today. Florida is killing FSU. A very mediocre South Carolina team manhandled Clemson. Plus, a good (by ACC standards) UNC lost to a horrible NCST.
The only way that would have worked is you took the absolute value of that result. The stretch play is NOT WORKING in this half. Try something else, Gary.
Okay...is there not a kind of Ground Hog Day redundancy to our offensive scheme today? Is Bill Murray calling this game? Am I just seeing a constant deja vu play after play because we seem to just make this game more difficult than it should be?
That's the fifth time we've been run out on 3rd and short to the sideline...
I gotta think our OC's are clueless. Where are the screns to Montel or Pantale? Why doesn't Dave just run the damn ball? WTFFFFFF?
Was BC's 3rd and 2 play designed to go outside or did Montel do that on his own? I just can't believe they would call that play when they've lost about 20 yards the last ten times they've run it.
mod10, it was a designed outside stretch run. The end of the line blocked to seal the edge, not to create a come-back lane. That play has not worked once this half, yet they've run it at least a half dozen times.
No, I am not entertained by our brand of football. This coaching staff plays to not lose, rarely to win. That was a gutsy (and correct) decision to go for it, but the play-call was horrid. We do have talent, but our coaches refuse to let that talent loose. That's how you end up running 15 more plays than your opponent, but only six more points.
Like you, though, I will watch this team no matter how they play.
No, it wasn't a gutsy playcall. That's our default 4th down go for it because its inexcusable to punt from the 30 and we don't have any kicker range. The coaching staff gets no credit for that, and even less for the horrific stretch call.
A 47-yarder is a gimme for very few college kickers. And this is the same coaching staff that has punted several times inside the 40. Gutsy probably wasn't the right word, just like the play-call wasn't right.
I am not a Jags fan, but I loved when he would pull out the fake FG's and fake punts. I don't think Spaz has that mentality and he seems to be winning by playing it close the vest. But a little excitement would not hurt.
We're lucky to be playing a Div. III version of the Terps... They're 2-9 and we make them look threatening... We need some cujones football, w/ or w/o the lime right now. Where's the imagination and the intelligence these guys get paid to execute?
We're making Montel carry the team without ammunition.
I haven't yet decided whether I'm going to watch this game in its entirety. Florida is my second team and they're on at the same time. The BC game is just so uninspiring. Mediocre team at awful team. Nothing at stake. Bleh. I guess I'll watch most of it.

Is anyone else sick at the thought of NC State beating UNC, after UNC whipped up on us?
ReplyDeleteI can see not feeling compelled to watch BC-Md. - it's not the most compelling 'rivalry' game

ReplyDeleteWow, I'm glad I'm not a Maryland fan. How depressing it must be to know that Chris Turner is your offensive captain. Yikes.
ReplyDeleteGame is on justintv if anyone does not have espnu, like me!
ReplyDeleteThis team never starts the game with urgency. How uninspiring.
ReplyDeleteLong drive for Md. Usual cushion...Very questioable Pass Int on first play. Oh well, held them to 3
ReplyDeleteThe announcers just referred to Shinskie as Uncle Dave. That's awesome.
ReplyDeleteRun- Run- Pass.
ReplyDeleteWho would've guessed?!?!?
Good lord. Terrible play from Shinskie. How is there not a flat or underneath route called on that play? And how do you hold on to the ball that long?
ReplyDeleteUgggghhhhhh....
ReplyDeleteSHINSKIE!!!!!!!!!!!!
LOOK at the empty stands at Maryland....wow..
ReplyDeleteThose empty seats are why I have to believe that Friedgen is on his way out. The Fridge has become very unpopular with the fan-base. I've even heard rumors of alumni that may be willing to pay the buy-out. And that isn't even talking about Franklin.
ReplyDeleteIf BC were 2-9 I think Alumni would be lucky to look that good on Thanksgiving weekend.
ReplyDeletegood point JQP!
ReplyDeleteOkay, Dave. It's time to get over the early yips. I can't believe we're still dealing with this after the number of starts he's had.
ReplyDeleteThat kid is fast! All Colin on that one!
ReplyDeleteLARMOND TD!!!
ReplyDeleteB-E-A-UTIFUL!!!
ReplyDeleteSHINSKIE!!!!!!!!!!!!(larmond!!!)
ReplyDeleteIf you don't get ESPNU:
ReplyDeletehttp://www.justin.tv/jeepjeep
WTF is so hard about saying Larmond's name?
ReplyDeleteESPN U, 2, 360, Ocho non of them can say it.
LAR-MOND
Holy shit what did he just call Aponovicous?
Worst? Call? Ever?
ReplyDeleteref is a knucklehead
ReplyDeleteannouncers are too.
http://www.justin.tv/jeepjeep
ReplyDelete^^great find Jim..
A little hurry-up here? Interesting. Let's see what Dave does here. So far so good.
ReplyDeleteshin's got his groove back
ReplyDeletei hate the repeated "Uncle Dave" comments
ReplyDeleteAwesome play-calling. We better be going for this from the 1.
ReplyDeleteAPA -No-VOOOSH-Ness
ReplyDeletePlayaction's been working. Are we trying to get Aponavicius an All ACC spot?
ReplyDeleteSince when does vi make a VOOO sound?
ReplyDeleteLahmon? Aponavooshus?
ReplyDeleteAlso, call the game a little more aggressively in the red-zone, you patzers.
I'm watching the game with my brother. He said, "Boy the defense did not come to play." I told him, "Nah, they do this every single game. They always have a first drive that looks like crap and then they tighten up for the rest of the game."
ReplyDeleteApa na VOOO shis!
ReplyDeleteWell, I really don't get Cherry's call earlier?!!? I do not fear the Turtle thus far
ReplyDeleteWith another 10-20 pounds of muscle, Keuchly is gonna be a freak
ReplyDeleteI love it when our defense decides not to cover the receivers on third down.
ReplyDeleteNC St beats UNC
ReplyDeleteUVA playing VT tough (evine winning)
BC.....needs some moxie
oops *even winning
ReplyDeleteWhen are we going to have an option to just watch the game with crowd and field noise and no announcers? These ESPU dudes are as bad as our pass defense...
ReplyDelete"Live arm" maybe, but Jamar is staring down his receivers worse than Shinskie. I hope BC picks this kid off at least once.
ReplyDeleteTurner is doing his ALL-ACC impersonation against BC again...
ReplyDeletewait...is that not turner???
ReplyDeleteAwesome defense is awesome! Wait, no it isn't. Damn, this offense is terrible and they just decide to not cover receivers or pursue to the outside. Honestly, that was a well-executed drive by Maryland against a defense that never takes chances. Coupled with our offense that doesn't take chances (see third and fourth and goal from the one) and, well, lack of excitement/leading.
ReplyDeleteI'm stunned. I thought BC would throttle this team. I know it is on the road, but c'mon.
ReplyDeleteMaybe I do fear the Turtle if the cushion continues into the red zone all game....come on
ReplyDeleteThis is going to get ugly if McGovern maintains this delusional cushion pass D...Old Coach Ralph knows how to beat us when he sees a weakness like our soft coverage. Every game we've lost this year featured this brilliant strategy.
ReplyDeleteIf Jamar throws those passes all day, we end up with 3 INTs.
ReplyDeleteWe're in a fight all day against this terrible team - what does that make us?
ReplyDeleteThese announcers are terrible and so is the quality of the field. This coaching staff needs to get a little more aggressive and take some chances. We're just not a program that is going to out-talent many teams. Yes, we have some wonderful players that will play on Sundays. However, we won't have a defense talented enough to impose its will while sitting back in coverage or an offense that will just run over quality defenses.
ReplyDeleteLucky break on the late-hit here.
ticky tack? he drilled him three yards out of bounds!
ReplyDeleteLate hit out of bounds, dopey announcers
ReplyDeleteAnd yes it was a lucky break on the late hit, but guess what happens when you take chances and throw down-field? You force the defense to take chances and you get lucky sometimes.
ReplyDeleteGunnell is making these drops a bad habit. He needs to help his quarterback out and make those catches when he's wide open.
ReplyDeleteThat would have been a TD!
ReplyDeleteThis is why Superfan is not a plus sometimes...
ReplyDeleteA little out of Gunnell' reach - slight mis-throw by Uncle Dave.
ReplyDeleteD - be aggressive.
ReplyDeleteWHY do we have such a problem dumping off a pass to a TE on 3rd down and short? Who makes these jackass calls to pass to Gunnell when we all know the Shinskie ball is only good 1 out of ten times? It's an H1N1 play call.
ReplyDeleteNow the Terps will short pass us down the field again.
Great catch there by Larmond! Way to take it away from the defensive back.
ReplyDeleteWho knew that Larmond could actually catch. Wow.
ReplyDeleteMan, great play by Larmond, but Shinskie needs to keep checking down when their plays aren't there. (Shocker, I know)
ReplyDeleteLarmond!! Awesome...
ReplyDeleteOk guys timeout let's get the play right, hand off to Montel.
ReplyDeleteAt least we faked out the camera guy.
ReplyDeleteHarris has been awesome so far, but someone is going to have spell him at some point. Do you think Isaac Johnson could carry the ball a little (he was a RB in high school)?
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteWow, Dave is a tremendously inaccurate passer.
ReplyDeleteWe're going to wear this team by the 3rd quarter.
ReplyDeleteDave got lucky yet again. Good Lord.
ReplyDeleteApahnavooscius is his "guy"!
ReplyDeleteShinskie knows he's allowed to run with the ball right??
ReplyDeleteGod Dammit with Vooshus nonsense!!!
Listen to your coworker, dummy. He's saying Sid Vicious to give you the hint.
He should have run...well, take the 3
ReplyDeleteShinskie's not getting play calls that he can perform. It's nuts that we can't get him short passes underneath to just move the ball. Play action, short pops to Montel, something realistic. These tipped balls of his have killed us in the last 4 games...
ReplyDeleteSomebody text that pinhead in the booth with the phonetic pronunciation of Sid's name...
Damik! Did anyone even block him?! Awesome play right there!
ReplyDeleteTHAT is pursuit.
ReplyDeleteBack-to-back sacks! That is not something I would have predicted.
ReplyDeleteSCAFE JUST CRUSHED that QB!!!
ReplyDeleteWhooah! Almost a double sack!
2d a "coverage" sack for sure
ReplyDeletePound Harris. Get the first downs. I"m terrified of the pick6 here....
ReplyDeleteOr screens, that's good too!
We got sacked the QB! We executed a screen! What the hell is going on here?!
ReplyDeleteHey-0! Someone's listening to Mason.
ReplyDeleteFINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteA SCREEN TO MONTEL!
maryland is terrible, but it's not like we're crazygood this year (and did you see all those close games maryland's been in this year?). We're on the road, it's a sort of pointless game, I'm happy with how well they're doing. Do you remember the first 9 minutes of the last game?
ReplyDeleteThey're doing great.
Hmm, a screen to Harris....gets a ton of yards....why have we not used that play more this year?
ReplyDeleteLarmond...again
ReplyDeleteFinal timeout?? I thought Spaz lost his mind...but the announcers are just morons
ReplyDeleteWe need six here.
ReplyDeleteCurious.
ReplyDeleteWe should be killing this team. Come on OC - give us some more. Wht would I think that? Gary Nyquill
ReplyDeletefinch still sick?
ReplyDeleteIf ever there were a day to try the screen to Jeff Smith again today looks like the day. Maryland is giving it away and Shinskie seems to have figured it out.
ReplyDeleteFake FG - Flutie for 6.
ReplyDelete4th and 4 take the points...we get the ball coming out...I can state the obvious also
ReplyDeleteWe do get the ball after the half, so I guess we didn't *need* to press the issue on this drive. However, the lack of urgency in the red zone from the coaches continues to puzzle me.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, Finch has been reported to still be ill.
Decent half, I guess. Glad to be winning at the break.
ReplyDeleteWow he actually said Sid Vicious and Apanavooshus in the same sentence. I give up. He is actually retarded.
ReplyDeleteThis announcer says Steve's nickname correctly and then butchers his name.
ReplyDeleteIf his name was pronounced apanaVOOshess why on earth would his nickname be sid VIcious?
This sucks. With 20 plus ticks on the clock and Spaz whimps out? Very disappointing message to send to the offense and the fans. 3 points when it should be 7--twice. Talk about a way to ruin the halftime margarita...
ReplyDeleteGo Eagles! Let's hope the coaches sing at a lower register in the 2nd half 'cuz this was pure castrati-ville.
Our play-callers absolutely settled for three and they did it three times! Not two. Three times! Good gravy. If we'd only gotten two of those three (and not gotten a field goal on the other), the score would be 21-10, which juts feels better. If we'd gotten a field goal in addition, it would be 24-10, which is borderline dominance.
ReplyDeleteClemson stunk the joint out today - can't wait to beat them in Chestnut Hill next year. They actually started to believe they were a great team - they suck.
ReplyDeleteThey're still going to the ship...Spiller is the man
ReplyDeleteGary Nyquill = 3 points instead of 7 all year. He should retire for the third time.
ReplyDeleteAnyone else having flashbacks to the UVA game?
ReplyDeletejust keep giving the ball to montel. run the bazooka. and please for the love of god put the ball in the endzone.
ReplyDeleteHike the ball! you get 5 yards....
ReplyDeleteThat was almost a pic--and Montel was open in the middle.
ReplyDeleteTime for some play-action, Gary.
ReplyDeleteThese offensive calls just blow...
ReplyDeleteThat series just got saved--that pass was aweful...
ReplyDeleteCan we please not run everything to the outside. I know Montel's small, but he isn't a speed back.
ReplyDeleteWho will replace Richman?
ReplyDeleteI ashamed to admit it, but those Snuggie ads are turning me on! Especially the grey-haired couger in the zebra Snuggie.
ReplyDeleteNow that was a lovely call, throw and catch. Nothing complicated there.
ReplyDeleteGreat throw and great pronunciation!!
ReplyDeleteIs there a better PR piece this year for BC? Why not have the Drop Kick Murphies playing while Fr. Leahy hands out diplomas?
ReplyDeleteIs Montel the greatest gutty back in the ACC?
How about play action pass to the tight end?
ReplyDeleteStick it in; stop the bs...3rd dow now; do something
ReplyDeleteNyquill i an idiot.
ReplyDeleteUncle Dave...
ReplyDelete... For shame.
And the streak is over.
Montel is the man, however, if Finch, Phifer or one of the recruits doesn't produce next year then this kind of usage will kill Montel.
ReplyDeletewow, just wow, fumble? bring on Sid...Missed one wow
ReplyDeleteYou're not sorry you mispronouncing clown.
ReplyDeleteAwful play-calling on this drive. The outside stretch run was called, what, 5 times and never run for positive yardage. Not once! And then, because the coaches don't want to take any chances until they don't have a choice, we come away with zero points. The tally: 4 red-zone trips, 3 field goals, no touchdowns. Gary Tranquill's offense: it's . . .
ReplyDeleteSorry, I dozed off there.
the apa-no-voosh crap put the hex on Apa!
ReplyDeleteI think the perfection goal got way into Apo's head. We needed those points. We're letting Maryland hang in there when we should be up by 3 TD"s.
ReplyDeleteOh well, you have to figure the Terp D is getting worn down.
Dan,
ReplyDeleteYou're right. He isn't sorry. He came out of halftime apologizing for mispronouncing his name, yet continues to do so.
4 times in scoring position = 3 field goals. Sorry Steve.
ReplyDeleteImpressive, Gary Nyquill. RETIRE.
If our O Line is worth Dick Cheney they'll open a hole for Montel...but then, another really dumb playcall...
ReplyDeleteand then Dave drops the ball.
Another FG...I knew he'd miss that. It's bad OC karma. That was ATROOSHUS!!! Ooops...I'm channeling a
a TV announcer with a frontal lobotomy...
FSU is getting rocked. embarassing for the league
ReplyDeleteClemson did not look good either
let's hope GTech takes care of biz
the red-zone play-calling is atrocious. thought the pass plays were nicely done...easy outs to wrs given a lot of cushion.
ReplyDeletethe stretch runs inside the 20...i mean, the field is short! the formations don't change.
montel deserves better. what a stud.
This game is looking more and more like BC will find some way to lose. You can't let a bad Maryland team hang in the game with you. On another note, outside of his kickoff return to begin the game, Spiller has bad today. Ruined his Heisman hopes.
ReplyDeleteExcuse me, it's pronounced Mark Herzilootch
ReplyDeleteatrooshus...nice.
ReplyDeletei'm going to find the announcer and staple his tongue to this lips.
aponavooooshus. what. an. idiot.
dude was bound to miss a chippy. oh wait, that's all he kicks. can't complain...everything with him is gravy.
Damik! Is this the first multi-sack game from a member of our defense this year?
ReplyDeleteScafe with another sack....
ReplyDeleteThe entire ACC got embarrassed today. Florida is killing FSU. A very mediocre South Carolina team manhandled Clemson. Plus, a good (by ACC standards) UNC lost to a horrible NCST.
ReplyDeleteDo you say it Froderick, Froderick Frahnkensteen?
ReplyDeleteThe only way that would have worked is you took the absolute value of that result. The stretch play is NOT WORKING in this half. Try something else, Gary.
ReplyDeleteFire Gary Nyquill. We could lose this game because of his play calling.
ReplyDeleteDamik is having a very good game.
ReplyDeleteHey remember when the screen passes were working? Yea that was awesome.
ReplyDeleteOkay...is there not a kind of Ground Hog Day redundancy to our offensive scheme today? Is Bill Murray calling this game? Am I just seeing a constant deja vu play after play because we seem to just make this game more difficult than it should be?
ReplyDeleteThat's the fifth time we've been run out on 3rd and short to the sideline...
I gotta think our OC's are clueless.
Where are the screns to Montel or Pantale?
Why doesn't Dave just run the damn ball? WTFFFFFF?
Was BC's 3rd and 2 play designed to go outside or did Montel do that on his own? I just can't believe they would call that play when they've lost about 20 yards the last ten times they've run it.
ReplyDeleteOn the other hand, our pass defense is awful.
ReplyDeletemmason, make me a margarita.
ReplyDeletemod10, it was a designed outside stretch run. The end of the line blocked to seal the edge, not to create a come-back lane. That play has not worked once this half, yet they've run it at least a half dozen times.
ReplyDeleteThis game is scaring me, Gary - thanks for building the 6 point cushion.
ReplyDeleteMMason, make that 2.
ReplyDeleteLet's start the "let Gary go" campaign now - the guy has to go.
ReplyDeleteOh, good Christmas gift idea. My wife would love a strap perfect!
ReplyDeleteMod 10--you nailed it. It'unbelievable...And then we let these guys get into BC territory...
ReplyDeleteGuys, I'll have a triple for all of you!
Keuchly kill!!
ReplyDeleteI'd like to thank the Dave Methusela Band...
Man, if Kuechly were a safety in high school, imagine being a 17 year old wide receiver going across the middle? Yikes.
ReplyDeleteNice stop by the D, there. Scafe at the center of it again! He's having a very good game.
ReplyDeleteNow let's see how Tranquill screws it up this time.
McLaughlin - we'll miss you. Great BC player!
ReplyDeleteHoly Shit Gary's awake!!
ReplyDeleteFirst heads-up play in a long time by Shinskie there. And we got a first down on this drive? What?
ReplyDeleteNeeds to step up in the pocket.
ReplyDeleteAnd a middle run? I thought Gary forgot about those.
ReplyDeleteShin takes one for the team...but that pass was scary.
ReplyDeleteLook at Montel be The Man!!!
Uncle Dave and Poppa Tranqs
ReplyDeleteHey Hey!! A pass to the TE!!
ReplyDeleteGary must be readin' my tea leaves!
I'm ok with that playcall so long as this in two down territory.
ReplyDeleteOH GODDAMN THIS F-ING SQUEEZE! You have to be kidding me! THAT PLAY DOESN'T WORK! GET OVER IT! Gary is really trying to lose us this game.
ReplyDeleteOkay, well, that playcall I'm not as okay with.
ReplyDeleteActually, that's about as frustrating as it gets. Just basically ran the same play that got stopped for no gain.
out of curiosity...
ReplyDeleteare people entertained by our brand of football?
im not questioning anyone's fan-hood. ill watch bc any day, regardless of the score or opponent as im sure all of you would too.
just curious.
Harris will need a whirlpool and a massage.
ReplyDeleteFire Gary Nyquill - he's not up to the task.
What an embarrassment - He's making you look bad, Spaz - get rid of the bum.
WTF? Again? Tranq is done. Spaz is dead to me for letting this nonsense continue to happen.
ReplyDeleteAgain, Sid's range screws things up...
ReplyDeleteI don't think Poppa Tranq's actually called that.They thought he was signaling "Go for the throat." but he was just choking on a butterscotch.
ReplyDeleteWell--That was surely inspired play calling by Gary-Wan-Kanobi...
ReplyDeletea stretch run on 4th down...brilliant.
ReplyDeletesomebody wake up our OC.
and fire him.
Inexcusable!! Shit-quill calls 2 straight sweeps when that play has been slammed all game. I hope Spaz has the cajones to fire this guy.
ReplyDeleteOur brand of football is awful under Gary NyQuill.
ReplyDeleteWhy don't we run McCluskey up the middle in short yardage anymore? He used to be a bull in those situations
ReplyDeleteNo, I am not entertained by our brand of football. This coaching staff plays to not lose, rarely to win. That was a gutsy (and correct) decision to go for it, but the play-call was horrid. We do have talent, but our coaches refuse to let that talent loose. That's how you end up running 15 more plays than your opponent, but only six more points.
ReplyDeleteLike you, though, I will watch this team no matter how they play.
gary is setting up the bootleg with all those stretch runs...for san francisco.
ReplyDeletei have to keep reminding myself this is a 2-win Md. team...
Defense is worn out as usual.
ReplyDeleteNo, it wasn't a gutsy playcall. That's our default 4th down go for it because its inexcusable to punt from the 30 and we don't have any kicker range. The coaching staff gets no credit for that, and even less for the horrific stretch call.
ReplyDeleteA 47-yarder is a gimme for very few college kickers. And this is the same coaching staff that has punted several times inside the 40. Gutsy probably wasn't the right word, just like the play-call wasn't right.
ReplyDeleteNo, Gunnell did not HAVE to fair catch that.
ReplyDeletelike our "brand" of football?
ReplyDeletewhat "brand" is that?
we've got a freshman QB rarely on target.
we've got a stud rb who's our best player.
we've got no pass rush.
we've got a pretty good secondary that looks worse b/c there's no pass rush.
we have a kickoff returner that seems afraid of contact.
we have a punt returner who fair catches too much.
we've got a stud mlb.
we've got a conservative coach with a conservative oc.
what a brand.
i'm enertained, though. if high blood pressure is enertainment.
how many times since the northeastern game has gunnell run back a punt? under five? very frustrating.
ReplyDeleteI am not a Jags fan, but I loved when he would pull out the fake FG's and fake punts. I don't think Spaz has that mentality and he seems to be winning by playing it close the vest. But a little excitement would not hurt.
ReplyDeleteOdds on a stretch-run to the near-side of the field? Even?
ReplyDeleteWe're lucky to be playing a Div. III version of the Terps...
ReplyDeleteThey're 2-9 and we make them look threatening...
We need some cujones football, w/ or w/o the lime right now. Where's the imagination and the intelligence these guys get paid to execute?
We're making Montel carry the team without ammunition.
Throw the ball to him!!!
Hit the TE!! Make sone friggin' noise!!
Great catch by Pantale! First down stretch run?
ReplyDeleteOur coaches seem to think that field position is as good as scoring, a strategy that will get you few upsets or easy wins.
Would they shut the F up about Montel's durability, they've already jinxed one good thing for us tonight.
ReplyDeletemontel's approaching 40 carries. at least its the last game of the regular season.
ReplyDeletePANTALE HAS SERIOUS SKILLS. Why does he not get the ball mo' often.
ReplyDeleteHolding calls and double fouls!! I love this!!
That's Johnny Lojaks's kid who couldn't get in to ND where his dad was an All-American. How dumb is ND??
Catch the damn ball!
ReplyDeleteThat's the Colin Larmond, Jr. we all know.
ReplyDeleteJesus Luhmond!!!
ReplyDeleteWell, we can't blame Tranq for that series. Terrible drop by Larmond.
ReplyDeleteAs usual, this game is coming down to our defense.
One last stand guys!
Colin, Dave doesn't throw with that kind of accuracy very often. You sorta need to catch that.
