It's not all DJUs fault. Fsu has a whopping 21 yards of rushing on all of 7 carries. Because he couldn't complete a pass to save his life in the first half. BC was begging him to pass. They sold out to stop the run and dared DJU to beat them, and he couldn't. He was something like 9 for 22 for 117 0 and 0 at half time. Grant yes, FSU abandoned the run with the game only at 14-6. Literally a one score game and Norvell stopped running, of course that didn't help matters. But he had some ugly, ugly misses early on some open guys for TDs. a big part of me things Norvell kept at it because he thought the plays were there. They should of been, DJU was missing. He was bad. It got better for a little bit in the mid third quarter until he reverted back to poop. It is going to be a long long season for FSU, teams are going to keep this up, making DJU be the one to beat them and until he finally proves someone otherwise he ain't gonna do it. DJU was 10/23 for 108 yards at the half. 11/19 for 164 yards, a touchdown, and an interception in the second half. Florida State returned 10 starters, four on offense, four on defense, the kicker, and the punter. The four returning starters on offense are both tackles, the center, and a tight end. All three starters at receiver and both starting running backs (to be fair, Lawrance Toafili was starting at the end of the season, but he was a backup for a majority of the 12 regular season games) are gone. Along with DJU, four additional starters are transfers. It sounds like the team went all Frankenstein's Monster on Norvell. I feel bad for DJU, because I was rooting for him. |

I would have scored again - exclamation point. Mike Riley, is that you? 😎 Nah, let sleeping dogs lie. No need to piss off a team that is historically much better than you. As far as DJU, I don't care. I'm glad FSU lost because I despise FSU, not because I wanted DJU to play badly. He seemed like a decent guy when he was here. I respectfully disagree. Point spreads mean more than just Vegas. Sometimes, when deciding bowl games, SOS, margin of victory, etc. factors in.
I never liked Chippy, but I did respect the fact that he would put his foot on the gas, and would not slow down until the final whistle blew. I get your point - but sometimes, being nice and pulling up before the finish line, comes back to bite you. Just ask Ken Miles. |

If he had only been a little more selfish. |

I don’t think he’s dumb like JMR. Plus he could complete the long balls and more. Just not dedicated (lazy) and dumb in the NFL. They both can throw a potato 90 yards off their knees Perhaps they would have been more successful in Idaho. Or Ireland. |

Something many here will be familiar with, I remember Ladd McKittrick set the school record for the longest touchdown pass! 95 yards or something. I believe he tossed it a few yards to Reggie Bynum and Bynum ran 90+ yards. But I was on my second Bota bag of Old Crow, so that could be way off! Fun fact: Before 2000, Ladd McKittrick had the two longest passes in Oregon State history. McKittrick still has thrown two of the three longest passes in Beaver history, both to Reggie Bynum. The longer of the two was at Parker on Guy Fawkes Day 1983. Second-and-nine at the Beav eight. McKittrick ran a play-action pass, which may have bought some time to set up the throw. Wazzu ran two high safeties, who guarded the other deep receiver and the tight end. The pass was at least 40 yards in the air right in front of the East Side of Parker. I think the corner on Bynum may have tried to interfere with an obvious big gainer for Bynum but fell down in the process. Bynum caught the ball at the 49 and outran the two safeties the final 51 yards for a touchdown. 92 yards. Oregon State record, breaking the 91-yard McKittrick-to-Bynum pass in Berkeley two games before. (That pass did not result in a touchdown. Bynum actually fumbled at the end of that play, and Tracy Abernathy recovered to preserve the possession.) Both of those passes were in losses, 45-19 to Cal (the final touchdown set up by Bynum's 91-yard reception to make it 28-19 in the third) and 27-9 to Wazzu. (Bynum had the only Oregon State touchdown to pull within 10-7. The Beavs blocked a punt for a safety shortly thereafter to pull within 10-9. All Cougs from there.) Smitty's 97-yard touchdown pass to Chad "Ochocinco" Johnson on October 14, 2000, broke the record for the longest pass in Oregon State history. My bad! Props to Ladd! It’s the Old Crow! |

Sad how Miles got screwed out of the Winner’s Circle by being SELFLESS. Sad ending, too. But…… he died doing what he loved.. |

They rarely are... good movie nonetheless! Rock solid performances down the board from the cast, not just Damon and Bale, but Jon Bernthal as Iacocca and Josh Lucas as Leo Beebe do a solid supporting roles. Movie does a good job making the antagonist in Beebe be a supporting character, and having the race and development of the GT 40 be the main story. |

Deion's stock took a big hit with the beat-down that Nebraska put on them. Shedeur got sacked 5 times and hurried countless more - the offensive line has not gotten better.
I was definitely wrong on how the 2023 season would turn out for the Buffs - new staff and barely any continuity in the roster added up to an absolute disaster of a season. They were more competitive and won more games than I would have thought possible. I think collectively they are coming to the realization that the decision to send Christian-Lichtenhan and Van Wells on down the road is proving out to be a bad one. They've both played well for the Beavers so far, though granted it is not against the type of athletes that Nebraska has.
