I don't like the looks of this at all. Very quick DL running around giant cheeseneck OL nailing an indecisive QB all day long.

FSU 24
UW 10

Epic analysis, Mace. Way to really break down the game. Brilliant.

I'll one up you...

I think if Wisconsin runs and throws well along with playing good defense they will win. If they don't and FSU does, I think FSU will win.

Seriously though, I don't think FSU even shows up. I bet with the month off Wisconsin will regroup and win this game simply because they actually care more than FSU.

Wisconsin 28
FSU 13

I wish I could say FSU would win but I honestly dont know.

Following FSU football these past couple of years, there is no telling what team will come out to play

With that being said I will guess:
FSU 31
Wis 24

Nice punter.

Whats the deal with Bilemia(sp?)? Dude didnt even say a word to Bobby. If the roles wouldve been reversed, Bobby would of stayed around a chatted up with the guy. I guess the dude is pissed because Bobby will still be coaching after Wisky and Alvarez realize it is time to let him go.

Rack FSU! I am anxious for next season. If the O-line can stay healthy and either Ponder or D-Vo steps up, we are gonna be good.

Please come back Mickey! Please Please Please dont leave!

I wouldn't get THAT excited, Wiscy should've lost to freaking Cal Poly. They just aren't very good. FSU has talent and probably has the best A-game in the ACC. But beating a mediocre team doesn't prove they're back to the glory days.

Mickey will definetly return for next year. He won't leave until Bobby walks.

After beating a I-AA-caliber Wisconsin team?

FSU just put the smack down on a shit Wisconsin/Big10 team. It was the first ever match up between FSU and Wisconsin, FSU played Great and looked as good as they have all season long.

They are definitely not back, but can anyone on this board deny that FSU is on the right track to being a legit top 10 team?

Next year the defense reloads, and the offense gets bigger, stronger, and older. We are gonna be pretty good next year...not 1990's good, but pretty fucking good.

OSU should've lost to Wiscy. Tells you a lot about that conference.

And no they are not back to the glory days. I dont know if that run will ever be duplicated. USC and Texas are both on the track now, winning 10+ games every year.

It has just been a long time since FSU beat a team they were supposed to beat like that, usually we play like shit and some how pull it out in the fourth.

So 1-AA is on the same level as the Big 10 middle of the pack schools?

Hell no. That was a preseason top 10 world beater.

The yearly placement of Wisconsin in the top 10 is a continuing source of amazement. It might do those kids some good to be ranked in the mid-thirties next august, so they could develop a sense of urgency. As it stands, they show none during the regular season...year after year after year.

End of story? I really don't expect people who don't follow FSU to know much about them, but seriously, if this is your opinion, then it is way off base.

FSU got rolled by UF this year in a complete down pour swamp game, but they are about the furtherest thing from a "really bad team" as you can get. Coming from Iowa fan, I'm surprised ANY 9-4 team would be classified as "really bad".

i bought into the jimbo fisher hype.

2 years and i'm not seeing it. Even Bottom feeders are putting out high scoring offenses in 2 years or less.


With the talent FSU gets, there is no excuse. Wisky defense was working FSU till that late first half TD, then the flood gates opened and Wisky was back to reality of being a shit team


I still can't believe FSU is handing over the keys to the football team to Fisher. Guy has done nothing to prove he can take over the program.

Man, when your a Coach from the South, and hyped, you can ride that hype for decades, no matter how bad or great you do.

Here is his list of great QB coaching projects Jimbo has developed: Josh Booty, Rohan Davey, Matt Mauck and JaMarcus Russell, pat nix is that really an impressive list????

FSU, like Nebraska, will eventually hire the right guy, but i think Bo and Jimbo aren;t the right coaches to turn it around.

No excuse for FSU to have an offense that is still ugly. Way too much talent, and being young is an excuse for teams who are poor or dont get top talent yearly. FSU has a top10 recruiting class every year, with most in top5ish area. Is it time to force Bobby out???

With what FSU recruits, they should have a high powered Spread type offense. I just don't see it under Jimbo. Like i said, i bought his hype, that the media sold me. Next year will be a make it or break it as far as Jimbo being this great OC.

goobs

Wisky might just steal one of Illinois best recruits. Craig Appleton, East st.Louis high.


While Hawthorne is the better player(stud corner), Appleton is the better WR and could help Wisky, immediately.

Seems recruits arent happy with what Illanoy players are telling them, and the recruiting wheels might be falling off for the snake oil salesman. Zook could only guarantee playing time for so many years, eventually you cant promise playing time anymore, kids have to earn it. Illinois never offered, but MU picked up De/DT from east st.louis high, good talent, needs to get bigger, was Illinois defensive player of year i believe.

ESL is developing the talent again. once a hotbed for talent( if they could qualify), now is back to its old roots under Sunkett.

With Wisky getting Ball from timberland High(missouri) and possibly Appleton from ESL(illinois), they could have a nice class, pending other recruits.

I thought FSU looked like a fairly decent team. Lower end of the top 25. Wisconsin hung in there till Bielema decided to go away from what works for them (power running) and tried a trick play, which blew up in his face with a long fumble return for a TD.

Coaching this year has been real shaky at times, and last year Bielema scapegoated the D-coordinator, who went on to immediately find work at Northwestern. Don't know who he scapegoats this year but I don't expect him to shoulder any of the blame. Quarterback play this year has been horrific.

Hey, Screwball, nice to see you still blind with your hatred of UW. How did Kalamazoo Tech do in their bowl game, BTW?
