1. Duke, winless, zero, zippo, nada in its last 22 games and a 6-41 record under Ted Roof …. It’s what’s for Homecoming.

2. HEY, unlike last year when FSU wore them, maybe those black uniforms aren’t so bad after all!

3. There is absolutely no truth whatsoever to the wild rumor that a new sign is to placed on Doak Campbell Stadium that would read “Welcome to Doak S. Campbell – Home of the Field Goal”.

4. In summing up FSU’s redzone offense came this comment shortly after the game ended from Bobby Bowden to Tom Block, “You can see what we need to work on.” Can we assume he was not referring to field goals?

5. Memo to the ACC refs: OK, we know you have the holding call down pat. Can you move on to something else now? Which prompted Bowden to say after yet another long TD run by FSU was called back because of a holding call, “Makes you want to shoot people.”  If by people he means the refs, then yes it does.

6. With Larry Coker in the booth as color commentator for ESPNU’s coverage of the game came this assessment of the former Hurricane coach from Mrs. BFT. “Coker is as dull as dishwater.” I’m guessing that means she wasn’t exactly enamored with Larry’s performance.

7. Interviewing Charlie Ward in the radio booth Gene Deckerhoff asked the former Heisman Trophy winner “After 14 years what do you notice different about Bobby?” After a thoughtful pause Ward responded “He might be a little older.”  OUCH!!!!

8. The Gene Deckerhoff slight exaggeration (like Gene never exaggerates) of the game: Following a crushing hit to Duke QB Thaddeus Lewis, “He knocked that “T” off of Thaddeus.”

9. If you listen to Deckerhoff at all you’ve certainly heard his trademark “5, 3, 2, 1 touchdown Florida State!” Just a thought here, but why do our players always skip the four yard line? Of course with Preston Parker’s two TDs last night Deckerhoff called it as “10, 5, 3, 2, 1”. Man, that’s a heck of a first step by Parker.

10. With the camera catching a brief shot of Boston College QB Matt Ryan about to lose his lunch and/or dinner following his game winning TD pass, it’s a dadgum good guess that there were many Hokie fans in stands that were having a collective regurgitation process at that moment as well.

Bonus Irreparably Random and Factually Meaningless Thoughts

11. Wake Forest head coach Jim Grobe reportedly has a saying he tells his team that goes something like “Play like your hair is on fire”. I guarantee you if my hair is on fire I’m definitely NOT going to be thinking about playing football. Maybe that’s why FSU lost to them. Twice! Or why so many other teams have as well. They are all too distracted by all those flaming chapeaus.

12. If you missed Georgia RB Knowshon Moreno’s celebration dance on the sidelines following his game clinching touchdown against the gatros (their …) aka crocs of XXVI be assured you will not be seeing him on Dancing With the Stars anytime soon.

13. The aforementioned lizards have a player on the team. He hasn’t had much said about him at all. You might have heard of him. Tim Tebow. Anyone hear of him? (Ben Stein impersonation on) Anyone? Anyone at all? (Ben Stein impersonation off.)

14. The Most Bizarrely Dressed Fan Award goes to the Oregon fans who I swear look like they were wearing banana suits.

15. From Fox News Kelly Wright commenting on the Colorado Rockies being down 0-3 in the World Series, “They have a long mountain to climb.” A long mountain? Well, I guess that fits. Probably not a lot of hills in Colorado.
