You BEAT me to it, sir.
Not necessarily. See the comment directly above yours.
IDK man, have you seen my punt block based defense? It's basically a ten man blitz with 1 deep safety.
Well, Leal was also 3-8 in that game, and that was, what, 7 months ago?
Pick me. I've got this, you guys. My slant-based offense will get it done.
THIS. Well said Shoog
That pancake by Sam Rogers is beautiful
Very true. Some friends and I decided to go to the 2010 championship game last minute (night before, we just decided to get tickets and head down the next day). Ended up in the 2nd level, right in the middle of some FSU fans. It was glorious. Nothin like doing the Hokie Pokie around a bunch of Noles with Tyrod, Coale & co. running free all night long.
Maybe "padding" isn't the best word choice in a "fittest" competition...
That really would be the perfect way to finish up the redemption tour:
W vs. UNC
W vs. Pitt
W vs. Miami
Find a way to get a W against FSU and keep them out of the NC
Screw Clemson out of a BCS spot by taking the AQ w/ FSU as an at large
I can dream can't I
If the selection process takes longer than a month, the ACCCG will be determined by two dudes in a basement playing NCAA Football '03.
Even though we don't play Clemson this year, how freakin awesome would it be to see them get cheated out of an at-large BCS bid because we got the AQ spot to the Orange Bowl? I'd count that as a victory and LT3 would finish his career 1-3 against Clemson.
Now to beat Maryland and hope this dream can become reality.
I'll bite, but only because it's Mason who asked.
Leal starting was never the issue, I don't think. Leal getting time after Logan committing many turnovers was the issue. Thomas has always been the better player, athlete, leader (as far as we can tell, since Leal doesn't get time). But one some days, even with Logan, it just isn't working. If one of those days happens, might as well pull out all the stops.
I have to say this thread serves the same purpose as the ones that bashed Logan after Duke and Boston College. That is to say it serves no purpose.
Well, Leal didn't throw 3 interceptions to the 2nd and 3rd string defense during the Spring Game, or at all for that matter. It does seem as if he is capable of being better at consistently making good decisions.
The Hokies are only going to the BCS with an ACCCG game, that much seems obvious. It seems likely that Clemson will be one of those teams that qualifies for an at large (really depends on what happens when they play South Carolina), and I could see the Orange taking them to maintain the ACC tie, especially with the extended contract we have with them moving forward as the playoff starts.
If the Orange loses FSU to the NCG, then my understanding is they move up in the pecking order and can take any eligible team they like (noting that other BCS games will still get contractual tie ins, i.e. OSU to the Rose Bowl, etc)
Are people still making new threads about this? Simply to throw this in people's faces?
The orange bowl is not require to take an ACC team if FSU makes the MNC.
As I recall:
- All teams in the top 4 must receive a bid
- All AQ conference Champions must receive a bid
- All non-AQ conference champions ranked inside the BCS top 12 must receive a bid
- All non-AQ conference champions ranked higher than an AQ conference champion must receive a bid
- All teams receiving a bid must be in the BCS top 14
There is a rotating order in which Bowl games get at large bids. This year the Orange bowl gets the first at large pick of any bowl. However, bowls that lose a team to the MNC get to jump in front of the Orange bowl. To my knowledge, the OB is not required to take an ACC team if they don't have to.

I love how maybe one of the clips is from this century.
Seems like a silly topic. Logan played great Saturday...but that doesn't mean that Duke and BC didn't happen. I agree that some people take it way to far against the guy, but there are some legitimate criticisms that can be said concerning him
This is correct. If FSU wins ACCCG and gets an invite to the MNC, OB gets an at-large selection. If there is another ACC team who has qualified for the BCS, the OB will probably invite them (read: Clemson) but are not contractually obligated to select another ACC team if another one has qualified. This caused a bit of a stir a few years back when the Rose selected Illinois to be sacrificed to USCw because the Ill U was lower than a lot of more deserving teams. They could do it because Illinois had qualified and they wanted the Big Ten/PAC Ten pairing, but other teams deserved to go more than Illinois did. Predictably, Illinois got pummeled.
Which is what most of the Logan supporters said to defend him. There were a lot of things working against him when he played bad, it wasn't just all his fault like many were saying. If Loeffler doesn't keep leaning on the run game we will definitely see bad Logan at least once more this season.
Had to do a double-take there to make sure I was reading a Wang post without any innuendo.
He played his nuts off, stole the nuts of the DT across from him, then played those off too. I can't wait for Saturday to see if our OLine continues to play at this level.
I spent much of the game wondering where the heck has this running game been all year - and realizing that the duh U will not miss playing against LT3.
FYI Lot 9 is one of the Litton Reeves lots
