Thank you, FSU, for screwing up my college football pick'em week

[Stretch15]

I would like to take this opportunity thanks the entire Bowden family for royally screwing up my weekly college football pick'em selections. 22 points down the drain.

I'm assuming there are other members of R.I.P. JP that are in the same boat.

Thank you Bobby...thank you Jeffy.

This game also shows just how far the Canes have slipped this year.

ME TOO. I am tired of losing games I shouldn't lose because of the effing spread.

Jeff Bowden couldn't coordinate a running game if he was using Erk Russell's playbook.

It's my fervent hope that Terry, not Jeff, will take over in Tally after Bobby retires.

Speaking for Florida alums everywhere, I hope that Jeff is given the keys to the FSU kingdom.

I look forward to Chris Leak's introduction to Buster Davis, deep in the Gator backfield.

Repeatedly. ;D

Who knows...by that time, Tebow could be running the show. Folks got a glimpse of what the Gator offense is supposed to look like with Tebow at the helm.

FSU was begging for a letdown on a short week after an unspectacular victory.

Different QB, same result. ;D

Were there any "Fire Jeff" signs at Doak tonight?

Leak will not be replaced by Tebow this year. Look at his numbers over the first two weeks. Leak has been very good, once he got used to the offense and they tailored it to his abilities more. Tebow will start next year, with getting in at some points in every game like he has. Nothing else, unless Leak gets hurt.

Actually, the mighty Troy Trojans brought daddy 12 points. FSU's lack of running game is no fluke.

With an inexperienced offensive line in front of him, the chances of Leak getting hurt are decent.

After watching the Urban Meyer offense in full bloom in Utah, I bet a part of him is salivating for next season to come quickly, when he can break out the other half of his offensive playbook.

And I wouldn't put too much stock in Leak's numbers against Central Florida. I was going to say the real season starts next week at Rocky Top, but after the Air Force Academy nearly knocked off the Vols, Leak's first big challenge may not come until LSU.

FSU has something like 70 yards rushing in two games...........that's just sad.

 

[Breakyoself]

stretch, i see what you're saying...but Leak hasn't been that bad. Give the guy some credit for playing as well as he has in an offense not too suited for him.

I am sure Meyer is looking forward to next year, but now, with this team, Leak is the quarterback Florida will need to have a strong run.

 

[Stretch15]

Break - I know Leak hasn't been that bad. Believe me, I want him to succeed as much as anybody. And he has done well to adapt to Meyer's offense. If only he were just a little bit more mobile. ;-)

But, I'm telling you, when Tebow takes over and Urban breaks out all of his tricks, it will be a joy to behold. Watching Urban and the Utes go 12-0 and totally dismantle everybody in their path was amazing. That offense was so much fun to watch...you never knew where the ball was going, and neither did the opposing defenses.

As long as we are cursing the messers Bowden for screwing the pick 'em pooch, Tommy's Tigers did me no favors today.

 

[Stretch15]

I had Clemson as well - 14 points down the drain.

My picks started off on a wonderful note when Michigan failed to cover the spread. 16 points.

Tennessee cost me another 20 points. FSU 22.

Screw the Bowden family and Rocky Top.

Tennessee cost me the most points today ... which I would have been dandy fine with if DeBerry hadn't had a brain freeze and kicked the PAT. With that kind of military strategy, I now understand how we're getting boat raced in Iraq.

 

[Stretch15]

Dixie - you don't believe in the "go for the tie at home and the win on the road" strategy? ;D

Very gutsy call.

 

[Oz]

The big ons I missed were Tennessee (14 points) and Michigan (13). I can't complain. After how poorly I did last week, this is great.
