The one thing I felt good about was our D coming into this year....then the injury bug bit....I should have been more concerned and sprayed for those damn bugs...

boobies


my expert analysis from the other thread:

having seen Cincy first hand, they are good on offense, horrible on pass defense, and the biggest thing overall, very very soft and weak (literally, not figuratively), total finesse team.

Their offense is good, really shifty, tricky, you definitely have to tackle really well fundamentally, if you miss tackles they will score a shit load. Their secondary sucks balls. Glennon should get +300 yards, and 3 TDS and he will have to for State to win as unless State steps up big time there's no way I that I see Cincy scoring under 30 if State plays like they have been on D.

w/ manning now out on top of the previous injuries....it looks like our O needs to just plain outscore the other team...we may not make many stops until we are healthy again

we should also get to see brandon pittman...freshman out of raleigh

amerson needs to wake up again and gets some damn pick 6's. that dude has some wheels.

9/19/2011 2:17:39 PM

Looks like Rieskamp will be back for this game.

9/19/2011 3:13:18 PM

^^he got an interception against usa, right?

[Edited on September 19, 2011 at 3:32 PM. Reason : ^that's good, and it looks like we might get to see logan winkles for the first time]

9/19/2011 3:27:26 PM

Yeah, he cut in front of the USA WR the same way Bishop did against WV in the bowl game.

9/19/2011 3:46:32 PM

not the fairest statistic, considering that teams knew all they had to do was pass against us, lol.

we're trying to run a defensive scheme?

9/19/2011 4:26:04 PM

does this team have a damn strength and conditioning coach? year 5 and still this many injuries?



FIRE TOB THREAD 2011 LOCK DELETE SUSPEND!

9/19/2011 4:59:21 PM

Yes, we are TRYING to run a defensive scheme...

I bet our starters are even good at it.

9/19/2011 5:04:18 PM

^lol i can't wait to get 3 key starters back on defense.

and our main running back to possibly open up some more pass game

we are gonna be awesome in about 2 or 3 weeks

9/19/2011 5:15:07 PM

9/19/2011 5:18:33 PM

^^ Unfortunately, by then we will be 3-3 with at least 4 hard games left to be played in the second half of the season.

Unless we pull out a miracle in the next few weeks to finish the first half of the season at least 4-2, I don't see us getting the bowl bid that we should have this season.

9/19/2011 5:20:44 PM

playing on the road thursday after a night game sucks but this is still a toss up

we arent nearly as bad as some of you guys think

9/19/2011 6:46:40 PM

we arent nearly as bad good as some of you guys think wish we were

9/19/2011 6:54:21 PM

we arent nearly as bad good as some of you guys think wish we were

9/19/2011 7:02:36 PM

indeed, we nearly good

9/19/2011 7:05:11 PM

I hate to say it and I hope I am wrong but I have a feeling this isn't going to be close.

9/19/2011 7:18:49 PM

Why is nobody blaming obrien for our severe lack of depth? Injure a few key players on each side and we are suddenly an FCS team.

9/19/2011 8:05:14 PM

WHY AREN'T MORE PEOPLE BLAMING

9/19/2011 8:15:59 PM

critics

9/19/2011 8:17:45 PM

for example UNC and FSU land class after class of awesome recruits. neither have really made much of them either. A chick fil a bowl in these 5 grandiose years of recruiting is the pinnacle of it

and somehow our 'nobody' recruiting classes wins a citrus bowl. (thanks wilson )

9/19/2011 8:30:45 PM

this thread needs more blaming!

wait, which side are you betting for, better or worse than that... or just NOT 3-3

I'd put money on:

9/19/2011 10:02:21 PM

I've been trying to get all the shit-talkers to take a bet with me when they keep saying we are going 4-8 but never get a response. Some people just talk to talk.

9/19/2011 10:09:46 PM

You're saying GT and Cincy aren't capable of playing as good of a game as WF? I'm confused.

9/19/2011 10:16:42 PM

there's not a team on our schedule we can't play that won't come down to the 4th quarter. FSU and Clemson will be the toughest opponents this year. Everybody else we have a legit shot no problem whatsoever to win. If we catch some breaks on injuries and get some intensity and some good plays we'll have a great year and a really special 2012.

all the cincy cheerleaders are fugly so here are some pack ones:

9/19/2011 10:23:18 PM

Our cheer squad this year are dogs... and the guys look like they collectively weigh 100 pounds.

9/19/2011 10:28:19 PM

^ ha. damn

9/19/2011 10:34:21 PM

^^^ dogs? riiiight

9/19/2011 10:48:29 PM

tww.. the only group of guys that'd rate heidi klum a 4.5/10 because her top left molar has a filling

You just proved yourself wrong. FSU and UNC have been unbelievable on defense and at the other non-qb positions.

9/19/2011 11:13:42 PM

They have been quite believable in the win column, however.

9/19/2011 11:14:20 PM

they really are quite breathtaking

9/19/2011 11:16:16 PM

I mean, if he thinks that that baby's breathtaking, then who's not breathtaking?
