Since we enjoyed discussing the SEC Championship, thought we could talk about Fisher's defense. The discipline and SPEED is very impressive early on . . .

GT is really bad and slow on defense...
One thing to note: FSU will be breaking in a new QB next year, Clint Trickett, and I've seen him play, he sucks. Could possibly play into his decision. He does have Jameis Winston to just remembered him, he could be real good.

Impressive speed compared to WHAT???? GT is barely above .500 in the ACC the only reason they are in the championship game is because Miami self imposed sanctions in hopes to deflect some actual NCAA sanctions. If Miami were in this game, it would be a much better game to watch.
FSU is a decent team... DECENT. If they were in a better conference they would not be doing so well.

I guess after watching Vandy and Kentucky players outrun our defense this season, any time a team can contain the edge against anybody is impressive.
And do you really think FSU would not be as good as they are if they were in the SEC?

Absolutely not... they are 10-2 this season... the two losses were to NC state....didn't we beat them?
and the other to Florida.
Go look at the FSU schedule, the only two tough games they had this season are losses on their schedule. OK I will give them the Virginia Tech game that was a win. VT is tough in Blacksburg, but any way you slice it FSU is not a GOOD team. They are just the best of a lot of really bad teams.

Sorry, I used the wrong emoticon on the FSU in another league. This one is more appropriate . . .

First of all, we we not talking about UT. Actually if UT had that schedule we would still have Dooley at the helm so consider this a blessing.

Wake up! We got a game... And WTF is Paul Johnson doing going for 2?? If FSU gets a FG it's a 2 possession game. Am I wrong or is that not the right move?

Fisher will be easily attainable if they lose this game, FSU fans won't want him back.

Wasn't North Carolina also above Georgia Tech and have bowl sanctions?

I wasn't inferring anything, just curious as to how people thought we would have done.
It's funny we might hire someone like Golden or Fedora when the team that got our coach fired might have performed the same way.
Not saying it's wrong, just funny.
