Taggart accuses VaTech of faking injuries

[jhbyrd]

I hope all of FSU's opponents start getting injury timeouts just to frustrate the Noles.

He said today he wants a rule against too many injuries. Good luck with that.

the stupid is strong with that one.

Taggart: Hokies faked injury to slow FSU down

Boy, this is a really bad strategy for a new coach who just got steamrolled as a heavy home favorite in his first game with his new school. Even if you really believe it happened you can't say it in public. It comes across as complete and total excuse making. Especially when the one time you were successful in going fast tempo it negated the chance for a replay review and cost you a possible touchdown.

Can't think of a worse media strategy than this one.

Not that I mind!

Okay, let’s say he’s right. What’s his excuse for the OTHER 98% of the game??????

Where they at?

How about Urkelwainchump. I know, it's juvenile.

Juvenile is good.

Willie Blackelwain comes out today accusing Va Tech of faking injuries to slow down the offense on the ACC conference call. My question to him would have been, what offense? When you lose 24-3 just STFU.

I distinctly remember fsu pulling this same thing against an up tempo team a few years ago. Several times those guys were hurt. One time I saw the guy he was faking.

 

[Bushmaster]

A slow tempo didn't have anything to do with 5 turnover and half your plays going for zero or negative yeards.

You know, I know, and they know, the Race Card will be played.

I can't wait.

This thread makes me so happy!

It's so great that we didn't have to wait to find out FSU can't cope. Presents us opportunities for lots of ancillary joy.

This thread should be stickied.

I expect they will be lucky to score at alll and win 6 games.

As long as we beat their ass too.

1. This is the funniest and most satisfying thing that has happened since CDM proved a miracle could be worked with Franks. fsu is fuked straight up; they are pathetic and will be getting their azzes beat regularly. We will horsefuk them in their own stadium. Gonna be a good year, boys.

 

[Loogis]

Why would a coach wear a whistle to a game? It’s not practice! You’re not going to blow a play dead.

The more that crowd at Zook Field "boos", the happier I get.

UF's buyout allows UF to fire Mullen quicker at a lower cost than FSU's. So FSU absolutely cannot fire Taggart for 3 years. FSU could incur poor attendance if fans tire of Taggart BUT unfortunately for them their debt service from their recent big stadium loans continues to come in.


If Mullen (who is a young head football coach) makes it through the end of his contract we will likely want him PLUS at that time UF will have its top tier Football center (which will be made like Mullen likes it) in place incentivizing him to stay. If Mullen chose to leave UF there would be no buyout and UF will be very attractive to another coach with top tier facilities in place combined with UF's strategic geographic location.

UF's buyout is better structured than FSU'S.
