Wow, didn't even check the spread. I saw FCS Montana St was a 13.5 pt favorite to New Mexico (didn't cover) but SMU giving 25 to Nevada? Yikes. I don't see it. Close game.

This Nevada game has been sloppy football but entertaining. Lots of flags. SMU gets perhaps their last chance with the ball from their 17 with 3:31 to go.
SMU with another long 4th quarter drive for a TD to go up 29-24 with 1:18 to go. Conversion failed, ball popped out when the receiver landed on the ground. Hoo boy.
And that's that. Nevada cannot move it and turns it over on downs. SMU escapes.
Lol! Scan my helmet and give me money! What a concept. Excuse me but GFY! Seriously.
That was a helluva week 0. Watched Gtech win in the last seconds, at my sisters-in-law's for dinner watched Montana St. win in the last seconds, back home for the nightcap watched SMU win in the last minute.
My take from week 0, ESPN must have paid a lot of money to overrate the ACC. FSU has no business being in the Top 20 and SMU was called a dark horse for the ACC title game. They must of came to that conclusion because the conference is going to suck.

Most days are
3 natty's and 3 heisman's in 30 years and the all-time winningest coach sans Joe Pa the enabler means you're doing something right
LOL. How about FSU's bogus "online music appreciation" class scandal under Bowden? If ya ain't cheatin, ya ain't tryin'? Right? Dad Gum It!
Damn right!
Everybody's cheating - although the ironic part is they self-reported it, and were still hit w/the suspension
Yet UNC goes Scott free with fake classes and bogus degrees
Gotta love the corrupt NCAA!!!
Again, nobody claimed they were too good for anything
It's the mere (and I use that term loosely) fact of not wanting to fall 40-50 million behind your peers
B/C, if that happens, all the hard work over the last 50 years goes down the drain
Gone are the days of competiting for titles, and not just in football
Olympic sports will also go down the shitter
It's not that complicated - it's all about dollars and cents $$$
Or, in the ACC's case, a distinct lack thereof
They were 11-3 last year- in The American Athletic Conference. That was the buzz.
Lost to Oklahoma and TCU. But the big signal that 11-3 was not much to get excited about was losing to BC 24-13 in their bowl game.
Maybe people got confused because they are the Mustangs.
WC are notorious sunshine pumpers
They hyped Taggart like he was the second coming of Saban, when anyone with a brain could see they (and specifically he) was a complete train wreck
The two other sites are a lot more objective
FSU lost but with a 12 team playoff system in place, don't count them out just yet.
A change at QB might be needed if DJU doesn't show he can get the job done
Going to true freshman Luke Kromenhoek might be the answer
Loved seeing FCS Montana State take New Mexico to he woodshed in the fourth quarter .
Probably made Bronco yearn for his BYU days
SMU made the most of it's fourth quarter , but all in all wasn't that impressive in it's win over Nevada

It’s true in regard to the 12 team playoff, but unless they do a complete 180 in regard to the defense, as well as the alleged vaunted running game and reported dominance of both lines, we’re looking at a fairly pedestrian season, at least by FSU standards, down in Tallahassee
If we have to pull DJ in favor of Luke or Brock, that will not be a good sign
The ACC is their peers.
Their peers are ones who are aligned academically, and, specifically pursuant to this conversation, athletically
In the ACC, that’d be Clemson & UNC
Not wake
Not Cuse
Nor bc
Nor Duke
The other schools I have little to no issue with - but candidly, absent of Miami, none have a shot of winning anything big in any of our lifetimes (but with NIL, nothing is completely off the table
Hell, the majority of the league has zero shot, ever, of winning anything significant
Moreover, the above 4 football dwarfs have a combined 17 fans between them, terrible ratings and god awful stadiums
Yet we’re sharing revenue with those midgets
Those 4 (and most of the league) are not, nor will ever be, considered “peers”
Thank you for another example of the arrogance and entitlement mentality of many in the FSU fanbase. If you ever did join the B1G, how long before you are saying FSU deserves bigger payouts than Northwestern, Rutgers, Maryland, Purdue, Indiana, Illinois, UCLA, and Minnesota because those schools are not national championship contenders?
That’s not arrogance
Nor entitlement
It’s the truth, Jack
What in God’s name have any of those schools done, except to suck of daddy’s tit and cash paychecks on our backs, all while costing us millions of dollars?
We were ideal conference mates for 30 years, continually asking the league to improve and adjust while making them millions of dollars, winning countless championships and carrying that sorry ass sack of shit league to prominence for the majority of our time there
End of the day, we got tired of getting jerked off - plain and simple
Unlike the ACC, the B1G knows what they’re doing. Your arguement holds no water bc again, look at our track record prior to the last 12-18 months
Do some research before spouting off - less trumpet, more ACC history would be a good thing for you
Cliffs = yes and yes
Used to love me some Jimbo, but he hasn’t been the same since Candi cucked him with her trainer
7 In the event of a tie with Ohio State or Michigan, they are chosen. 😜
