ACC Blogger's Roundtable- Week

by Bud Elliott on Nov 4, 2009 7:45 AM EST in FSU Football

This week's round table is hosted by FromTheRumbleSeat.com, our friends from GTech. FSU44 provides our answers!

1. Alright fellas, this is your turn to apologize to the Boston College Eagles who went to Hell and back and have now arrived as the 3rd team for the ACC (and only team in the Atlantic) to be bowl eligible. You know you were snickering in the preseason. Also, give a high five to Mark Herzlich for finishing his last treatment of chemo.

We're sorry. The Eagles play great defense and have also done a nice job avoiding GTech and Miami in the Coastal. Nice job Mark!

2. An Orange Bowl victory over a Boise/ TCU or an Orange Bowl victory over a Penn State/ Cincy team - which means more for the conference? Is there even a difference?

Not a big difference, but if the ACC champ does beat Boise/TCU, the media will just use that as proof that the non-BCS team was overrated. So, beating No. 1 in the Big East or No. 1/2 in the Big Ten is probably better.

3. Enough with the CJ Spillers, the Christian Ponders, and the Jacory Harrises. We wanna talk defense. Who is the defensive POTY thus far in the ACC?

DeAndre McDaniel, Derrick Morgan, Allen Bailey, in that order.

4. Recently, Bird compared the Atlantic to the Big 12 North.Is this a fair comparison? The Coastal is currently 8-2 against the Atlantic. There are still 8 interdivision games left. Can the Atlantic redeem itself this season?

No, the Atlantic won't redeem itself, but several of the Atlantic's losses, e.g. FSU to Miami and Clemson to GT, could have easily gone the other way. The gap at the top of each Conference (if you can find the top of the Atlantic) probably isn't as great as the results indicate.

5. Tailgating is essential to all things football. In Atlanta, the tailgating game of choice is cornhole. What is your game of choice to pass the time?

Beirut, aka Beer Pong. In order to deal with FSU's "defense," some of us in Tallahassee have switched out the beer for liquor.

6. Let's cut to the chase. There are two kinds of people: sheep and sharks. Sharks are winners and they don't look back 'cause they don't have necks. Necks are for sheep. Is your team full of sharks or is your team full of sheep?

FSU has sharks on offense, and on defense, a mixture of Sharks who were never taught how to swim properly and Sheep who have no idea they are Baaaing all over the field.

7. Create a cocktail in the spirit of your school and explain it to us. Non-edible ingredients are allowed and encouraged.

In a chilled shotglass, pour half Goldschlager every time the offense scores a touchdown-- Every time the defense allows a touchdown, fill the other half with Aftershock. Drink and repeat, and pray that you are 1) still standing by the end of the game, and b) that your last shot is only half full.

The answer to number 6 should read

I was typing too fast.

I thought it was a lame question until I saw the answer.

Nice job

I didn't like the question either

Then I pictured Mangum in a sheep costume, trying to swim around the secondary and I laughed a lot.

So what do you call that shot

Of half Goldschlager & half Aftershock. My guess is Ying Yang!

Go Noles!!

Garnet & this Defense is Getting gOLD

by fsu44 on Nov 4, 2009 9:33 AM EST up reply actions

originally, it was just garnet & gold

bonus shot

If FSU loses the game on the last possession, you can break open the bottle of aftershock, take out the crystals, and Brandon Spikes’ yourself in the eye.

by fsu44 on Nov 4, 2009 9:35 AM EST up reply actions

I would have chose the 'Skull and Crossbones'

Tequila shot with salt but you squirt the lime in your eye, thus be blinded and not having to watch our defense.

two additional technical points

1) fromtherumbleseat.com link is broken (misspelled)

2) I didn’t write the answer to question 1, since it wasn’t technically a question, I guess I decided to ignore it. FSUn must have written it, and it is pretty clever.

Being tops in the Atlantic Division is like being the 298 lb kid at fat camp. You’re the lightest kid there but your still fat. Good job chubby!

The offense are sharks, the defense are sheep swimming in shark infested waters.

Y Would U Ever Admit to Playing a Game Called "Conrhole"?!

Seriously—that is going to be my new response to any asshole GT fan who wants to give me poo.

GT FAN: GT is way better blah blah blah… Diaherra of the mouth blah blah blah… We beat you blah blah blah late hits blah blah blah

Me: Oh yeah? Well you guys play cornhole. What the hell kind of game is that?

by Trus1te on Nov 4, 2009 10:50 AM EST reply actions

Bags and cornhole. I remember when I was in the Boy Scouts, my scout master tried to... oh never mind not the right venue.

Yeah, they don't market it as "CornHole" in the stores.

Don’t think they would sell many units

RETURN TO DOMINANCE, 2010!!!!

by UnstopaNole99! on Nov 4, 2009 11:04 AM EST up reply actions

Cornhole, bags, and units, now we are entering the forbidden zone.

Entering the forbidden zone=that’s what she said.

Trust me

I’ve played it—its played a lot in Tallahassee too…

But just the fact that they call it “Cornhole” rather than Toss or Bags or another deviant of Bean Bag Toss just speaks volumes about the mindset of the GT student body…
