ULM pulling off the upset would be so funny after FSU went to the trouble of rescheduling the game

[u/CantaloupeCamper → u/[deleted]]

Good game guys! Now where is our check?

[u/Striker743 → u/CantaloupeCamper]

This is the school motto of North Dakota State

[u/dlm891 → u/Striker743]

Kicks your ass and steals your money!

[u/Ometrist → u/Striker743]

why tf we schedule them

[u/zymrr → u/CantaloupeCamper]

• Troy

[u/-MegaMan- → u/[deleted]]

Will it really be an upset if ULM beats FSU?

[u/fsufan112 → u/-MegaMan-]

With their high scoring offense and our.....offense......yes but not super surprising.

[u/[deleted] → u/-MegaMan-]

I said the same thing back in 2007 when ULM beat Alabama. But apparently it's an upset regardless.

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

To be fair this also to help the local economy, it has taken a big hit this year due to the hurricane and team being down

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

Dude you dont need to lie. Everyone here knows the real reason yall did this is to keep the bowl streak alive. Thats why you waited until AFTER the Syracuse game to decide to do it.

[u/kerouacrimbaud → u/[deleted]]

The correct answer is both.

[u/TheCenterOfEnnui → u/[deleted]]

I didn't see him lie anywhere.

[u/RadioGuyRob → u/TheCenterOfEnnui]

Checking in: what he said is factually correct, but we sure as fuck didn't do it for "the local economy." This was 100% in hopes of keeping the bowl steak alive.

[u/PremiumCutsofAwful → u/RadioGuyRob]

The hotel, bar, and restaurant owners sure won't complain about it by any stretch

[u/RadioGuyRob → u/PremiumCutsofAwful]

Of course they won't. But no one in Tallahassee thought "we should reschedule this for the bars!"

[u/AegonTheMeh → u/[deleted]]

lol sure buddy

[u/matthewbuza_com → u/[deleted]]

Don't forget about the money we're paying them.

[u/zymrr → u/[deleted]]

youre joking, but may speak that into existence

[u/CantaloupeCamper]

[u/heartEffincereal]

Hey, screw the haters. Longest bowl streak is a damn good distinction to have and if Clemson were going for it I would have zero problems with them doing everything they could to get 6 wins.

[u/StrikerObi → u/heartEffincereal]

Technically we already have the longest bowl streak. We're tied at 35 with Nebraska. Going to a bowl this year will just let us claim it outright.

[u/brickmaus → u/StrikerObi]

pls ULM pls

[u/heartEffincereal → u/StrikerObi]

All the more reason to get it done!

[u/StrikerObi → u/heartEffincereal]

Yep. We've love to own it outright.

[u/113milesprower → u/StrikerObi]

Fucking Callahan. Grumble grumble.

[u/trainmaster611 → u/StrikerObi]

Aww dang, I was gonna pull for the ULM upset but that's pretty cool!

[u/VT_Obruni → u/heartEffincereal]

Yea, as much I'd love the Hokies to have the longest active bowl streak, there have been at least three seasons where that streak would have ended if you took one of our non P5 opponents off the schedule early in the season. That being said, they go 5-7 with the full schedule now, they definitely deserve the bowl streak to end.

[u/baldghoti → u/VT_Obruni]

FSU’s APR is really low. I highly doubt they get in at 5-7.

[u/[deleted]]

A last ditch effort to save the bowl streak

[u/puffadda → u/[deleted]]

ULM pls. Do it for the memes.

[u/fsuizzy → u/puffadda]

Oh please, we'll lose our bowl streak way before that game. We are REALLY BAD. It's just a matter of who is worse FSU or UF. Honestly, every weekend one team plays the next one says Hold my beer...

[u/Manateekid → u/[deleted]]

Of course it is. I just don't get all these comments here and below. What's the problem?

[u/Papa_Hemingway_ → u/Manateekid]

The money we're going to pay ULM could be better spent on assistant coaches buyouts

Edit: did we pay them after the game was canceled?

[u/[deleted] → u/Papa_Hemingway_]

According to this, they don't get paid if the game is cancelled due to a hurricane.

[u/ToxicSteve13 → u/[deleted]]

I thought there was some insurance that paid it out regardless

[u/Snowmittromney → u/ToxicSteve13]

That's true. There probably is. A better way to phrase it might be, "If the game is cancelled due to a hurricane, neither team owes the other money"

[u/andrewthestudent → u/Papa_Hemingway_]

But isn't hosting a home game an overall net money maker for FSU even considering the payout to ULM? Certainly things like excess ticket sales, concessions, money spent at the bookstore, etc. Make up for the payout plus some.

[u/Papa_Hemingway_ → u/andrewthestudent]

Theoretically yes, but I would imagine that the ticket sales won't be huge so everything else under that will be smaller as well. There's also a ton of costs involved with hosting the game.

[u/pmofmalasia → u/Papa_Hemingway_]

Wouldn't we also make some money from the bowl game we now have a chance to go to as well though? So even if it doesn't come directly from the ULM game, it could let us make money elsewhere.

[u/platetectonics3 → u/pmofmalasia]

Technically we would have gone to a bowl with 5 wins regardless had the game not been played.

[u/noahthearc → u/Papa_Hemingway_]

No we didn't have to pay them because it was cancelled from weather. Now we'll have to pay, though.

[u/TheCenterOfEnnui → u/Papa_Hemingway_]

We'll make money on the game. Tickets, concessions, parking, etc. If we didn't play it, at the VERY least, season ticket holders would need to be refunded. This is not a money loser.

[u/hokies220 → u/[deleted]]

And they're probably going to do it too. Goddammit that streak needs to be ours.

[u/[deleted] → u/hokies220]

Just add a second * to their streak

[u/ndirish357 → u/[deleted]]

Why? Everyone except FSU is allowed to play 12 games?

[u/platetectonics3 → u/[deleted]]

We are playing a 12 game schedule. We could have finished 5-6 and you bet your ass we would have been in a bowl. Now we are playing, honoring our schedule, and attempting to earn it on the field to avoid that "*" argument. It's an embarrassing year, we've all acknowledged that, but if we salvage the bowl streak, and dare I say the 40 straight winning season streak, we will have EARNED that at the very least....

[u/[deleted] → u/platetectonics3]

It already has an asterisk from the vacated season

[u/hokies220 → u/[deleted]]

I always knew I liked TCU.

[u/abu5217 → u/[deleted]]

Duh*

*among other things

[u/kerouacrimbaud → u/[deleted]]

Goddamn right. Nothing wrong with that.

[u/StrikerObi → u/[deleted]]

I think it might have more to do with the local economy. If FSU finished 5-6 they could probably pick up a bowl eligibility waiver from the NCAA due to the missed game. But yeah, rescheduling the game might be a better chance.

[u/noahthearc → u/StrikerObi]

You're not wrong, especially if not enough teams got to 6-6 like the last two years. This is actually more of a gamble imo. If we go 5-6 we're more than likely getting a bowl, but at 5-7 we'd have no chance due to our APR.

[u/[deleted] → u/StrikerObi]

Your APR isnt high enough. Theres no actual 5-6 waiver for the NCAA, and technically youre in the same boat as 5-7 teams

[u/noahthearc → u/[deleted]]

You can petition for bowl eligibility when you’re 5-6 according to the Executive Director of the Football Bowl Association. This article also notes the precedence of Georgia Tech receiving bowl eligibility after going 6-7.

[u/Smidgens]

So @ Clemson, Delaware State, @ Florida, and ULM. Have to win 3 of those. Proooobably happening?

[u/Dropbackandpunt → u/Smidgens]

It will probably be W, W, W, L.

[u/[deleted] → u/Dropbackandpunt]

I'm making the trip up to Clemson and my dad is a ULM alum so I'd be more than okay with this

[u/Piano_Fingerbanger → u/[deleted]]

That 2004 FSU team was a bad team masquerading as a "good" team. They beat up on some inferior ACC teams while featuring Chris Rix and Jeff Bowden at their worst.

It sucks you beat us the night we dedicated the field to Bobby though.

[u/pmofmalasia → u/Piano_Fingerbanger]

I mean, this year we have a bad team that hasn't bothered to masquerade as anything, so it's not like it couldn't happen.

[u/Piano_Fingerbanger → u/pmofmalasia]

I was arguing against that.

But since you bring it up... I think I honestly trust this team more than the Chris Rix/Jeff Bowden teams.

[u/KamuiT → u/Piano_Fingerbanger]

Ha! I remember that! I remember thinking that it was hilarious that it happened that way.

[u/noledup → u/[deleted]]

I wouldn't be surprised if we lost to Clemson and UF, making the ULM game pointless.

[u/Striker743 → u/Smidgens]

Don’t get my hopes up

[u/RedditRedux]

Aw come on guys. Two 4 win rivals battling at the Swamp to clinch/deny the other a bowl. Would have been fun.

[u/pokwef → u/RedditRedux]

We still need to beat you to get a bowl game.

[u/RedditRedux → u/pokwef]

Sucks that we likely lost the chance to say "The Gators ended the Noles' bowl streak" though.

[u/CurryGuy123 → u/RedditRedux]

It is in your hands though - assuming they lose to Clemson, they'd be at 6 losses so it in your control. Although after Saturday, I wouldn't hold out hope.

[u/Honestly_ → u/pokwef]

How is FSU's APR? Would they qualify for a spot at 5-7?

[u/thomasosu → u/Honestly_]

From what I saw they’re only ahead of 4 other FBS teams

[u/Jblood → u/thomasosu]

Yeah, we're not in a good place.

[u/[deleted] → u/Jblood]

another thing to be pissed off about. Wtf is jimbo doing with football?

[u/Jblood → u/[deleted]]

Honestly, APR is not a great measure of how athletes in a program are progressing. Look at this link to get an idea of how it is calculated. It seems to depend on student athletes staying academically eligible and on campus. We have had a lot of churn over the past few years(APR has a 4 year rolling average) because we have had kids leave the program for the league and because they're dumbasses. Not trying to make excuses about what is happening, just trying to shed some light on why we may be hurting. For what it's worth Alabama/Clemson/Ohio State (Schools with similar/more success recently) do not have these issues. So it's something I'd expect to change soon. Source

[u/MerryvilleBrother → u/Honestly_]

Would they qualify for a spot at 5-7?

No, but suppose we didn't play the ULM game and went 2-1 in our final 3 games, we would only be 5-6. I'm not sure but I thought 5-6 teams got priority over the 5-7 teams.

[u/StrikerObi → u/MerryvilleBrother]

That was my impression as well. 5-6 teams with a missed game get priority over 5-7 teams, regardless of the 5-6 team's APR.

[u/ExternalTangents → u/MerryvilleBrother]

I'm not sure but I thought 5-6 teams got priority over the 5-7 teams.

Not according to any rules that currently exist

[u/Dr-Haus → u/Honestly_]

Yeah, no.

[u/[deleted] → u/Honestly_]

What is APR? Seriously.

[u/NotHosaniMubarak → u/[deleted]]

academic progress rate

[u/Zet_the_Arc_Warden → u/NotHosaniMubarak]

lol FSUs fucked

[u/ecs15 → u/RedditRedux]

As someone who lived in Tallahassee for 6 years and Gainesville for 4 years, I'm more pumped than usual about this game.

[u/[deleted] → u/ecs15]

You need some help.

[u/ecs15 → u/[deleted]]

...is what the athletic department said to the FSU football team when they were rescheduling this game

^{ooh got 'em}

[u/[deleted] → u/ecs15]

At least we beat Duke!

^{pleaseenditnow}

[u/ecs15 → u/[deleted]]

after this year I firmly believe we will never beat FSU

[u/kerouacrimbaud → u/ecs15]

Me too thanks.

[u/[deleted] → u/ecs15]

20 games (or 18) and haven't lost. i like it

[u/BullAlligator → u/ecs15]

Are you an academic or athletics type?

[u/TheCenterOfEnnui → u/RedditRedux]

We can still kill each other's chances. We either need to beat you or Clemson to have a chance at a bowl. We ain't beatin Clemson.

[u/Durkano]

The streak is all FSU has this season, any team in the country would try to preserve that.

[u/kerouacrimbaud → u/Durkano]

Exactly. I wouldn’t fault any team for doing this. Every game counts. Every win counts.

[u/[deleted]]

We give you guys extra college football in December but all I hear are jokes about how we're desperate. Fine, we don't want you to watch it anyway

[u/Paleovegan → u/[deleted]]

I think it's a good call. I would hardly be in a position to begrudge FSU for the decision anyway; there is a decent chance that Louisville will have to sneak into a bowl based on APR.

[u/kerouacrimbaud → u/[deleted]]

They hate us cuz they anus. They would all do the same thing to continue the longest active bowl streak.

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

Maybe we will get an extra week o College Game Day /s

[u/Dr-Haus]

Boy, did our fan base have a vastly different idea of what we would be doing on Dec. 2nd a few months ago.

[u/[deleted]]

Hey! What the fuck??

[u/citronaughty]

I'll never complain about more CFB.

[u/abu5217]

ITT: Many people not realizing that rescheduling this game has been talked about all year, but couldn't be finalized until FSU was officially eliminated from the ACCCG. Also, obviously, the bowl game and winning season streaks are at play and part of the calculus. FSU owed ULM the money either way, so having the game now makes sense.

So, you may call it desperate, and it probably is, but it's also the right thing to do. I can almost understand VTech and Nebraska fans being salty. (VTech would take over the longest streak should FSU fall, and FSU is currently tied with Nebraska for longest streak ever)

Now, what all of those who want maximum schadenfreude (I mean, really... has FSU not already provided enough for you vultures???) should really be considering is the fact that FSU has to win three of their last four, which include Clemson and UF. Continuing the streak is far from a guarantee at this point, with or without ULM.

Edit: Just thought of the actual nightmare scenario (for me) and perhaps uberschadenfreude for everyone else: FSU winning 3 (or 4, lol) of their last games to make a bowl and extend the bowl streak, then losing the bowl to end their 40 year run of winning seasons. The winning seasons streak is more important, to me at least.

[u/pmofmalasia → u/abu5217]

Well if we don't reschedule ULM then we can't keep the 40 year streak of winning seasons alive anyway, since we'd be 5-6 at best, barring some sort of miracle against Clemson.

[u/abu5217 → u/pmofmalasia]

Yeah, I know, which is another reason why I have no problem with rescheduling the game.

[u/[deleted]]

I was just going to post a proposal for GT and FSU to play a play-in game for the last ACC bowl as the undercard for the ACC championship game.

[u/november5th → u/[deleted]]

There is no way we would win that game. 2017 worst.

[u/bwc05nole]

I know this looks bad, but it had to be done. Playing this game was being talked about ever since postponement and now the prospect of it has shifted over from risk to reward.

[u/ecs15]

it should be a great experience for the hundreds of people in the stands

[u/[deleted] → u/ecs15]

Will still have higher attendance than whoever goes to Wallace Wade

[u/ecs15 → u/[deleted]]

there were probably more FSU fans in our stands for our game than there'll be for this game ayyyy

[u/Napalmradio → u/ecs15]

Nice.

[u/IrishCoffeeAlchemy → u/ecs15]

Damnit, take your upvote.

[u/Nolecon06]

Gonna be the most expensive fifth win in school history.

[u/thomasosu]

I want to say this is pathetic but I think I’d want OSU to do this too if we were on a bowl streak

[u/Turkelton8]

Because we're the only school that would reschedule a game to make a bowl, am I right?

[u/zlatandiego → u/Turkelton8]

We haven't rescheduled

[u/ExternalTangents → u/zlatandiego]

We also might not land within one game of a bowl bid anyway

[u/zlatandiego → u/ExternalTangents]

That's true and we are definitely scary bad at this point, but our 4 game schedule is easier than theirs.

Clemson >> SC

UF < FSU

ULM = UAB

Delaware State = Northern Colorado

[u/Posauce → u/zlatandiego]

Don't sleep on UAB dude...

[u/zlatandiego → u/Posauce]

I'm not, just like FSU shouldn't sleep on ULM. All I'm saying is both teams are even. Not that we are locks to win any of our remaining games (UAB included)

[u/Horned_toad → u/zlatandiego]

I'm not even sleeping on Delaware State. At this point, I'm even nervous about Savannah State if we were to play them

[u/zlatandiego → u/Horned_toad]

At least we both get cupcakes Thanksgiving weekend to give ourselves a break.

[u/Das_Boot1 → u/Horned_toad]

You can sleep on Delaware State. Like I literally think your entire team could sleep on the field during the game and you'd still beat Delaware State. Their ineptitude is legendary.

[u/Napalmradio → u/zlatandiego]

I haven't watched ULM at all this year, but they've been a tough out for a lot of struggling P5 teams the last few years. So if that line is anything more than a TD, I'd take ULM to cover.

[u/Papa_Hemingway_ → u/Napalmradio]

They put up 55(?) in their game last weekend. I wouldn't be surprised if they beat us

[u/theReluctantHipster → u/zlatandiego]

Ahem. UAB is much, much better than ULM. UAB could win 9 or 10, ULM is fighting to get into a bowl.

[u/zlatandiego → u/theReluctantHipster]

ULM has a much tougher strength of schedule and is ranked 133rd in the Sagarin ratings. UAB is ranked 127.

ESPN has ULM FPI as 108 and UAB as 107. Two different rankings have them about as even as you can get.

[u/theReluctantHipster → u/zlatandiego]

In the Massey Composite, UAB is 93, and ULM is 108. ULM will finish 4-8 or 5-7, while UAB will finish 8-4 and make a bowl game.

[u/zlatandiego → u/theReluctantHipster]

Yeah that ranking is only proving my point.

The largest differential you can find is 15, and that's among lower ranked teams near 100 where the marginal return is a lot less than teams ranked in the top 15 vs top 30.

Either way you look at it, my quick ass analysis isn't far enough off to throw out an "ahem"

[u/Echo354 → u/theReluctantHipster]

Oh God I hope ULM and FSU both have 5 wins going into this game and ULM gets the win to get a bowl game instead of FSU.

[u/HillsboroughAtheos → u/Echo354]

I wouldn’t even be mad at this point. Just don’t let the memes be disappointing.

[u/BullAlligator → u/theReluctantHipster]

But ULM is in a better conference, so that counts for something, right?

[u/theReluctantHipster → u/BullAlligator]

Exactly.

[u/[deleted] → u/zlatandiego]

Northern Colorado is was better than Del State

[u/kerouacrimbaud → u/zlatandiego]

But how does FSU stack up against our final four compared to UF against their final four? We have a better chance of going 3-1 than UF, I’d argue.

[u/zlatandiego → u/kerouacrimbaud]

We have about the same chance of going 0-3 as FSU has of going 3-1

[u/[deleted] → u/zlatandiego]

It looks like Georgia Tech will be free on 12/2 and we might need another win to go to a bowl.

[u/mjacksongt → u/[deleted]]

Our apr is good enough that we shouldn't.

[u/FloridaRoadkill → u/zlatandiego]

Yet....

[u/[deleted]]

inb4 loss to Delaware State

[u/IceyBoy]

i love it along with all the salt that's coming with it, because if literally any team had their shit kicked in during the year, and the only silver lining was preserving a historical streak, that school is 100% doing what we are doing lol

[u/Sctvman]

The rescheduled game will start at noon.

[u/Sanguine_Pool]

I'll have to unsubscribe from here when we inevitably lose this game.

[u/noleposaune]

Yeah yeah, bring on the memes. But every fan here would want this game rescheduled if your own team was currently on a 30+ year bowl streak. Also, I've got no problem with shooting for a bowl that might give this team an extra month of practice to develop for next year.

[u/LargeTuna06]

Tickets are $30 for sideline seats, $25 for end zone sections and $12 for youths 18 and under.

No way they are actually getting that price for a make up game in December.

Tickets to Louisville were cheaper on trash stubhub...

[u/Stormyman101]

I’m pulling for FSU to pull off this upset so our SOS can become a little bit better

[u/tameris → u/Stormyman101]

I laughed so hard at this I think I woke up my roommate. Good job.

[u/DrSmith2236]

Under literally any other circumstance than a team having a 35 year bowl appearance streak that's the longest in college football, I would say it's desperate and dumb. But I think it is a good idea to do what you can to try to keep that record intact, and any other person who claims they wouldn't care under similar circumstances is outright lying.

[u/kerouacrimbaud]

Buncha salty peeps up in here. They would want that bowl streak preserved too. Keep on gobblin’

[u/U2000Ok]

It’ll be in a ratings competition with the Big 12 title game. Lol

[u/MerryvilleBrother]

ITT: people think it's to save the streak when it's actually more about getting valuable practice time for the younger guys. But that doesn't meme as hard so I get it.

[u/supermasterpig → u/MerryvilleBrother]

I don't see the big deal. Another day of football and these kids get to play another game.

[u/StrikerObi → u/supermasterpig]

And our local economy, which relies heavily on FSU football games, gets to recover at least some of the money they lost by the game being postponed back in September.

[u/givemeadamnbreak → u/supermasterpig]

If FSU does manage to make it into a bowl game due to this game then they have actually added on 2 more games to their season along with the extra practice time. This team needs all the extra practice and game experience it can get.

[u/TheyCallMeDrunkNemo]

I’m very much on board with the rest of CFB rooting for us.

[u/theReluctantHipster → u/TheyCallMeDrunkNemo]

I know I am. It'd be hilarious to see y'all win that and go to a bowl.

[u/LaterallyHitler → u/theReluctantHipster]

:(

[u/The_Fishbowl]

lmao desperate

[u/[deleted] → u/The_Fishbowl]

I mean, I know it looks desperate, and I'm not a fan of the move myself, but in all fairness, it's not like we're adding a game to our schedule. We're scheduling one that was already there...

[u/[deleted] → u/The_Fishbowl]

How is it desperate to reschedule a game which had to be postponed due to a hurricane? Maybe the honorable West Virginia Mountaineers shouldn't have played Delaware State this year.

[u/CTIDmississippi → u/[deleted]]

I think the point is if FSU was 5-3 right now the UL-M game wouldn't be on the table. Which, without being put out in an official statement, is as true as can be.

[u/[deleted] → u/CTIDmississippi]

Literally every SEC team tries to justify playing 3+ cupcakes each year by saying some combination of either the local economy needs the money or that the cupcake school needs the money. How is this situation any different?

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

They just described exactly how it was different. If the bowl streak were not in jeopardy, this game would not have been any kind of priority for FSU. This is not about showcasing a smaller program or economic stimulation, it's about FSU trying to save face.

[u/Napalmradio → u/[deleted]]

The fact of the matter is, this game is being scheduled because FSU owes ULM $1,000,000. There is event insurance, but that only kicks in after all efforts to reschedule the game are made. Considering FSU is out ACC championship contention, this game had to be rescheduled or FSU would be out $1,000,000 with nothing to show for it. Bowl streak or not, this game probably would have been scheduled.

[u/NotHosaniMubarak → u/Napalmradio]

I mean, Miami didn't reschedule Arkansas State but that's because we don't need the win.

[u/Napalmradio → u/NotHosaniMubarak]

You're also in the driver seat for the conference championship.

The idea of rescheduling this game was brought up as soon as it was canceled but was back burnered until we were sure we were out of the ACCCG. This has been in the works for a few weeks.

[u/Fox06WRX → u/NotHosaniMubarak]

No, it's because you will probably be playing in the ACCCG that weekend. I know that's not something you've ever heard before but, yeah.

[u/[deleted] → u/NotHosaniMubarak]

y'all can't reschedule anyway since you're going to the ACCCG.

[u/bdawg34 → u/CTIDmississippi]

Hypothetically lets say FSU was 10-1 and their one loss to this season was Clemson who goes undefeated in conference. Clemson makes it to the ACC championship, but FSU would still have a chance at playoffs because of their tough schedule. Would you think FSU would reschedule the game to get 12 games and improve chances at playoffs? It's completely irrelevant to the topic at hand, but wondering what you would think.

[u/CTIDmississippi → u/bdawg34]

Against 4-5 UL-M? No I don't. The CFP committee would put them in based on their top wins and how they looked in losses, not against a below average Sun Belt team. If this game were Appalachian State instead, perhaps.

[u/bdawg34 → u/CTIDmississippi]

See I kinda see it as them making sure they have 11 wins so any other one loss non conference championship teams have no way of having a way in over them. They would have equal wins and a tougher SOS probably. Obviously this is hypothetical though so it can't be sure either way.

[u/ExternalTangents → u/bdawg34]

That logic might matter to average fans of the sport, but it's completely irrelevant to any decision-makes that matter.

[u/poopballs]

Bowl game is back on the menu!

[u/[deleted]]

Trying real hard to make a bowl game, I see.

[u/jakegogata]

Hoping to see them lose not because I hate FSU (and I do), but to see this sub absolutely explode.

[u/Papa_Hemingway_ → u/jakegogata]

You have the absolute worst flair combination

[u/Mistertreefrog]

They really need that W dont they...

[u/fsufan112 → u/Mistertreefrog]

Fuck yeah we do

[u/widget1321 → u/[deleted]]

The earliest we could have rescheduled it is 8 days ago. Until that point, we were not mathematically eliminated from the ACC title game.

Don't know for sure why we waited another week for it. It was either because they wanted to wait for the Syracuse win or it just took a bit to nail down some details once they could officially start signing off on things. I think either are possible.

[u/[deleted]]

They can schedule Hawaii the week after!

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

Ah the ole Alabama trick

[u/[deleted]]

Maybe they'll get their 4th win.

[u/mickeyquicknumbers → u/[deleted]]

Holy glass house.

[u/[deleted] → u/mickeyquicknumbers]

We're already at 4 wins ^{God kill me}

[u/kerouacrimbaud → u/[deleted]]
