I don't think they will either. It is going to cost me big. I have 29 points on this game.

I think the Alamo Bowl field is only 40 yards long. :shock:

Thank you FSU, for already giving me something to be happy about this year. 8)
They’re either going to run the ball here or their going to pass it.

The fewer rules a coach has, the fewer rules there are for players to break.

See, well ya see, the thing is, he should have caught that ball. But the ball is bigger than his hands.

Jimbo is just a great guy. One of my favorite interviews. He talks to the on-field reporters like he is eager to do so and then talks in plain truths, and does so while make it interesting. Adding more commentary than you would expect. With most coaches...I don't know why they even bother approaching them.

A bowl win is a bowl win...but Jimbo needs to have the offense rolling next year with WVU, USF, and Florida on the OOC schedule.


I am excited about the FSU game already. I am hoping to see the Bowden's in attendance with Terry in Blue and Gold.

I wish they played more like game 4, about the time the D starts to come around. But playing Marshall in the opener with FSU stepping taking their FCS gimme could help WVU. I look for the Eers to be very tough next year!

Agree, but many times the sideline chick has some pretty stupid questions.

I hear you on that...so many are an even more waste of time than the answers some coaches give!

Something that is really bothering me lately, in pro football and basketball mostly...what could be so all-fired important that reporters have recorders, mics, and lights an inch from an athlete's, coach's, or owner's face at a locker, or in a hal,l or other confined space!?!?!? I absolutely do not get this at all! I have a much better shot at turning pro at 50 than being able to put up with that! I could become a better person every day of the rest of my life and live to be 90 and couldn't ever get to the point to where I could take that!

Could these questions not wait 10 or15 minutes and be addressed in the press room? Ridiculous! I honestly find that to be a form of assault! (I couldn't watch the TV as they showed Jerry Jones being interviewed in such a manner after the Cowboys loss. I am not even there and it makes me uncomfortable.)

I am a southern boy and I have trouble understanding Jimbo. He talks so fast...words spit out like an AR 15 on full auto.

After decades of Coach Dadgummit, Jimbo sounds almost like a New Yorker on speed.

Speaking of "ain't pretty". :evil: :evil:

how do you lose a game off missing a field goal in the 3rd OT???

I demand a sacrificial firing for that kinda loss. :| :wink:

My team played like they have played all year. No passing game. Bad special teams and OK defense.

I generally hate to see the season end, but this year it has been miserable and I can't say I am unhappy to see it go. Ohio State allowed two special teams TD's and the Buckeye offense got a gift TD at the end because of the prevent defense. Florida wasn't very good either, but they only had to be better than us and they were. It may have been the worst Gator Bowl game in some years.

I don't know if it is true, but someone said that this was the first time Ohio State has lost seven games since 1897. :shock:

Georgia missing a 22 yard FG in OT was mind bottling...(no I didn't hit the wrong keys)
