I would totally agree if it were anyone other than FSU or UGA. As it is, I am on the fence.

It was a dick call for one simple reason. You don’t go for it on fourth down deep in your own territory whether it’s FSU or Little Sisters of the Prairie. It was reckless, juvenile, and it fooled no one.

Love this, I heard even the noles were singing


Awesome tribute to both UF and TP. Love hearing everyone singing so loud that you can barely hear the music on the PA. Extra cool at night with everyone lighting up their phones!

I hope this tradition sticks. Forever.

There's still hope. Other programs are gonna be firing coaches and FSU might find itself unable to hire its remaining candidates.

Jordan Rodgers - who played for Franklin at Vandy - spoke about Franklin as a legit possibility during the broadcast.

I don’t see that. PSU is a better job. Better university, flagship, better fan/alumni base, can/should dominate their region, etc.

The only advantage f$u has is their ridiculously bad conference. But that’s false anyway. f$u has won the same number of NC’s as UF, and way more SEC teams have won them. scUM hasn’t won anything since they joined. The softer conference leads to softness. Much better off in the Big Ten, which isn’t the SEC but it isn’t ever pathetic.

Did anyone else think it odd that Perine wasn’t in the game when we were down on the goal line? I would have thought CDM would have given him a chance to score one last TD in the Swamp, but he had Pierce in there instead.

BTW, I hope Mullen got taken to task by the media over that garbage fourth-down call. What a jerk move.

Jerk move? Why? At that point controlling the clock was most important. It was a big risk that failed & thankfully didn’t matter. A dumb move but not a jerk one. And maybe Townsend’s decision anyway.

It was Senior Night for Townsend too, so give him a shot at a moment. It’s not like they kicked a late FG or threw deep on the last drive.

Nope you don’t do it to the Little Sisters if the Prairie. FSU? Of course you do. Especially when your defense is smoking them like Thursday’s turkey. No tears for the noles.

I’ve been to a lot of FSU games in the Swamp and this has to take the record for least total time of hearing their duma$$ band led chant. I think I heard less than 3 minutes total, maybe less than 2. Glorious.

I also love that their band was boo’d pregame. Sets a good tone.

I was walking behind two fsu band nerds on the way back to my car last night. They were complaining about the booing. Overall, they seemed like good sports. But it really got to them.:lol:

Yep, I noticed a lot more Pierce the whole game.

I loved it. It's a giant middle finger saying it won't matter if we just give you the ball at the 20. And it didn't.

Not sure it was a “jerk” call but it was dumb as hell. Up 3 TD’s with 9 minutes to go, the only chance to lose the game is give them a chance for an easy quick score. We ran a play that even if successful doesn’t change our 98% plus chance to win but gives them their only chance at all.

It had less consequences due to the result, but was a dumber call than Kirby in the SEC Championship game.

We have done it so much that it is expected now. I do like the fact that if successful it would have twisted the knife much further. I believe that is the reason it was called.

I don't completely agree, but I laughed at the "smoke them like Thursday's Turkey" reference.

And maybe Townsend’s decision anyway.

On screen, I could see two of the blockers in front of him break left as soon as it was hiked. Pretty sure it was Dan's call, not Townsend. Though, I was pulling for all the seniors to have a great moment in the last home game.
