1. Well, after yesterday’s loss the good news for Florida State fans is .. just a second … I’m thinking …ummm…Can I get back to you on that one?

2. From Gene Deckerhoff after DeCody Fagg’s touchdown catch, “There aren’t many things worse than getting shutout by your arch rival.” How about 35-7? Does that qualify as worse?

3. And after not scoring for more than six quarters by FSU’s offense, for some reason the words “so that’s what a touchdown looks like” come to mind after DeCody’s score.

4. From PT Willis during the pre-game show, “I don’t think Florida State wants to play from behind.” Just wondering which team(s) is it that says “Let’s spot them two or three touchdowns and then go out and win the game”?

5. I know!!! The good news is at least FSU’s other “football” team won this weekend. Does that help?

6. Most prophetic pre-game comment: Also from PT, “Can we block, Florida?” Looking in hindsight your answer would be:
A. Yes.
B. No.
C. Blocking? What is this thing called blocking of which you speak?
D. Maybe punting on first down would be the answer?
E. Perhaps Drew Weatherford would care to answer the question?

7. If only Kyler Hall had never intercepted that pass that blocked field goal never would have happened. Dadgum him. That’s my somewhat less (well actually quite a bit less) than expert opinion of how it happened and I’m sticking to it.

8. Oh wait, I know!!! At least the women’s basketball team beat the gatros (their .) aka crocs!!! Does that help?

9. For the record, there were no “high school offense” comments from PT during the game.

10. Oh oh what about, at least the FSU men’s basketball team beat the gatros .. oh wait, that didn’t happen either. Sorry, sorry everyone. Never mind.

Bonus Descriptively Random and Masochistically Meaningless Thoughts

11. Whoever in Madison (yesterday’s high, a balmy 32 degrees) is responsible for brilliantly scheduling Wisconsin to go to Honolulu (an absolutely unbearable climate of low 80’s with a mild ocean breeze) to play Hawaii in late November, that person deserves a raise. A big raise!! A HUGE raise!!

12. Just a wild guess, but Dave Wannstedt was probably wishing on Thursday night (19 degrees with a wind chill of 8) that he had that Wisconsin scheduling person on his staff.

13. As was the case last week, all Colorado had to do was win the game to clinch their division of the Big 12. And as was the case last week, they didn’t. Saturday, the ball was now in Iowa State’s court. And did the Cyclones win? Of course not. Which begs the question was anybody in that division actually interested in winning the thing outright?

14. From Colorado coach Gary Barnett as the half ended, “They (Nebraska) went to a no huddle offense and that’s an insult to our team.” No Gary, giving up thirty straight points would be an insult to your team.

15. Could it be that UNC coach John Bunting had some issues with officiating last night when he said “We have this awesome instant replay system. I sure wish we’d use it.”
