1. At least FSU wore appropriate colors for yesterday’s game.

2. Well at least the Seminole Tribe can claim it is unconquered.

3. After yesterday’s loss, there is a bright side for Bobby Bowden. He won’t have to answer this question the rest of the season. “Coach, what do you think your chances are of making the ACC Championship game this year?

4. That last snap for FSU on 4^th down would have been good. If Drew was two feet tall that is.

5. Memo to Joslin Shaw from Graham Gano: Downing the punt one yard and one inch from the goal line was not going to hurt my punting average that much. Trust me; I would not have been upset if you had.

6. With the inadvertent TV blackout in Tallahassee, just a guess that when the game finally came on and upon seeing that 21-10 score many area residents were probably wishing for that Michigan/Iowa game to come back on.

7. Most interesting quote from Boston College head coach Tom O’Brien (right at halftime): “We have to play better or we’re not going to win this game.” Uh coach, two words, scoreboard.

8. Best (or worst depending of course on your POV) description of Drew Weatherford’s pass intercepted by Dejaun Tribble for a touchdown: From Gene Deckerhoff, “Instead of a hitch (pattern), it was a twitch.”

9. Maybe this will make it better. Turn the Atlantic Division standings upside down and viola’, we’re in first place. Does that help?

10. For a season that started out positively by beating Miami that descended into “at least we beat Miami” has slid to “at least we beat Duke”. Does THAT help?

Bonus Depressingly Random and More Depressingly Meaningless Thoughts

11. If you missed Bobby Bowden’s call-in show Thursday night you missed the caller who felt the need to yell “GO GATORS!!” and promptly hung up. Deckerhoff responded appropriately, “That must happen only after a week when they lose.”

12. Sign seen at ESPN’s Gameday: “I need a date”. That person must have been too cheap to fork out the money for E-Harmony.

13 Upon seeing the Clemson uniforms one could only think that Jimmy Hendrix and Prince were very pleased. Man that was waaaaaaaaay too much purple.

14. Best response to the most inane question of the day: In responding to Lisa Salters poignant question “What happened on that last field goal” Mack Brown described it perfectly by saying “I think we kicked it short”.

15. The last 5:35 of the Texas/Nebraska game took 37 minutes to play. Had the entire game been played at that rate it would have been a six hour game. And here I thought the new clock rules were designed to speed up the game. Silly me.
