I couldnt really tell at the game but it looked like he grabbed the bottom of his helmet and not the facemask...maybe that doesnt even matter as far as the rules go, not sure

russell

go play baseball

you will make so much more money and risk so much less injury

9/3/2009 11:45:57 PM

He grabbed the bottom of the helmet

I think anywhere on the helmet is considered a facemask

Whatever it was, it looked painful

9/3/2009 11:46:23 PM

He's not lighting it up in baseball either.

9/3/2009 11:46:55 PM

boom, Jay "fucking eagle eyes" bee

9/3/2009 11:46:57 PM

at least in baseball he has a future.

he was running for his life tonight. wtf happened to our Jesus

9/3/2009 11:47:50 PM

Jaybee, do you agree that the no-call cost us the game?

9/3/2009 11:48:02 PM

He was running?

9/3/2009 11:48:06 PM

In other news, I think Rashard Smith is going to be awesome

9/3/2009 11:48:08 PM

Mister can ya please spare an O-line

9/3/2009 11:48:20 PM

So Ernie how many times you think we'll get shutout this year? Or you misunderstood me maybe. Either way I'd rather not think about football for a bit

It doesn't matter. You can't pull someone down by any part of their helmet; chinstrap included.

9/3/2009 11:50:25 PM

we will do very well to go 5-7 this year. Our defense looked great against a horrible offense. Spurrier should be ashamed of his offense, that shit was embarrassing. Our shit was just a disaster.

9/3/2009 11:50:32 PM

"cost the game" ? no, of course not... now, it would have helped, but its not like the flag would have literally equaled 7 points.

was probably a wash with that TD that was called back for offensive pass interference... what I saw is never ever called pass interference

Our only scoring three points didn't have much to do with the defense on the field. Our offense wouldn't have scored on a middle school volleyball team tonight.

[Edited on September 3, 2009 at 11:51 PM. Reason : I WAS TRYING TO SEND YOU INTO A RAGE JB]

That was definitely interference. Dude grabbed the receiver around the waist.

[Edited on September 3, 2009 at 11:54 PM. Reason : ]

9/3/2009 11:51:29 PM

Give me a break dude. Our offense will get it together and we'll finish 8-4. We're notoriously shitty starters under TOB

9/3/2009 11:51:43 PM

Yeah I don't think it's gonna be a 5-7 year.

9/3/2009 11:53:22 PM

I will be watching that defense later to see how good or bad they do against the rest of the sec

9/3/2009 11:55:09 PM

ok

9/3/2009 11:55:41 PM

i got one hundred that says that team finishes sub .500

Obrien wins another 4 years based on his assbeatings of UNC for two straight years though. Even if he loses every game the 44-10 shit earns him more $

9/3/2009 11:55:47 PM

They actually have a pretty nasty schedule. They'll go like 6-6, but of course 6-6 in the SEC is like 11-1 in the ACC. I don't really think it was all about their defense, I mean we just weren't even trying anything beyond two runs up the middle followed by a pass. Not to mention that RW wouldn't step out of the pocket.

9/3/2009 11:56:43 PM

doesn't matter

We lost to an SEC team that is middle of the road. This fag shit says volumes about the ACC. We would finish 3-8 in the SEC on a good year, but wait, we are a basketball school.

I do feel bad for those of you that paid good money for LTRs. Tough to swallow in this economy.

9/3/2009 11:58:55 PM

THE GAVIN GRANT CURSE LIVES ON

9/3/2009 11:59:15 PM

^^ I agree for the most part, but not sure if it's time to sell the LTRs just yet.

9/4/2009 12:00:09 AM

LTRs are a fucking joke

I got a free ticket to the game tonight - there are always free tix lying around.

Why would you pay thousands to support that crap. Good riddance to my donations, I can really use the money now that I got a recession based pay cut

9/4/2009 12:01:38 AM

did the broadcast say anything about Wilson being hurt? he seemed slower...seemed like d-linemen caught him from behind a few times

9/4/2009 12:02:11 AM

^^lying around where?

And I've always said Wilson isn't that fast. He's smooth and agile as hell, but he's never looked that "fast" to me.

haha bunch of chicken little motherfuckers around here, oh noooooo, the sky is falling!!! i feel bad for people who have LTRs get the fuck outta here with that bullshit


one thing I do want to point out after that bore-fest of a game, in the postgame interview Russell said that "they" told him not to run so much. That pretty much says to me that the coaching staff told him to stop playing with his instincts and only throw the ball

9/4/2009 12:04:20 AM

well fuck. i was wrong

9/4/2009 12:04:53 AM

^^^^ but faster than a defensive lineman

[Edited on September 4, 2009 at 12:05 AM. Reason : f]

9/4/2009 12:05:02 AM

Well I wouldn't buy an LTR just because it's more than I'd ever feel comfortable spending on sports. But for the people that have them... dunno if it's time to burn the season tickets just yet. It was a bad game but not as embarrassing as last year (sort of). Give it some more time before writing the season off.

9/4/2009 12:05:16 AM

Also was the crowd totally dead where anybody else was? I was in section 10 and everybody was silent except for me and one other dude.

Then everybody started streaming out of the stadium with 7:50 left to go.

Pathetic.

9/4/2009 12:05:39 AM

True JB. I think he was keeping his eyes downfield too much (coaching) instead of just tucking and running. Even when he took off, it looked like he wasn't fully committed to running.

9/4/2009 12:06:48 AM

LOL, who sent the Dana Bible picture to EDSBS?

9/4/2009 12:07:57 AM

Worse idea:

1) The (student only) White Out
2) Telling Wilson to become a pocket passer
3) 4 yard pass to George Bryan on 3rd and 11

?

9/4/2009 12:26:40 AM

Yeah if the students wore red we'd have won.

9/4/2009 12:27:30 AM

you never know

9/4/2009 12:35:10 AM

The white kind of looked cool on TV actually.

That happened on almost every fucking 3rd and long. wtf, play to the first down marker.

The student section was really loud....then Baker fumbled the first play of NCSU offense. Then SC scored. Then we went 3 or so and out. And again. And again.

We got the wind knocked out of our sails, and it never really got back until important 3rd downs or big drives.

9/4/2009 12:39:39 AM

i thought the white looked cool

9/4/2009 12:43:51 AM

hahah, this thread is hilarious. BLAME BLAME BLAME.

everybody just calm down. we'll get our wins this year...and we'll take our losses as well. what did you all expect? 10-2?! every game won't be like this. some of you act like you didnt even watch our team last year. we were so much worse at the beginning of last year than we were this year. things will get better.

9/4/2009 12:50:33 AM

8 duck fuckin quarters...3 fucking points...what the fuck

9/4/2009 12:55:07 AM

^^look here n00b, we don't take too kindly to your "rationale" and "logical thought process" and "realistic perspective" in threads like these...us State fans like to freak the fuck out over anything

BY THE WAY, THE FLORIDA GATORS ARE OVERRATED

HEY GATORS...HOLLER BACK WHEN YOU SCORE MORE POINTS THAN US THIS YEAR

CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOUR BITCH ASS GET TAKEN OUT BY Texas USC

9/4/2009 12:58:09 AM

SON I EXPECTED US TO GO 10-2 AND WE STILL WILL, THIS JUST MEANS WE'LL HAVE TO BEAT FSU

and i didn't want it to come to that son.

9/4/2009 1:02:42 AM

this is not at all how i expected this game to go.

i am very saddened by this. i would've rather lost 34-0.

9/4/2009 1:09:14 AM

dude at jackpot apologized, told me to tell you he was sorry for being a doo doo head

9/4/2009 1:10:03 AM

LOL, no he didn't.

9/4/2009 1:10:52 AM

yes he did

9/4/2009 1:11:56 AM

if true this is very good news.
