Kickoff is planned for 9:15 p.m. EDT. It appears that full power will not be restored. No iPads on the sidelines, no scoreboard, no communication to the QB’s helmets. For f*ck’s sake.

I kind of like both teams having to play with limited lights and no electronic communication.

Old school… the QB either knows the playbook or they don’t. Hand signals from the DC to the MLB.

No scoreboard clock, correct me if I’m wrong.
Well, in the end that doesn't really matter anyway. Does it? Oh wait, this isn't the B1G.

I care little about this whole thing other than how it will affect my under bet.

I had planned on watching that game just to see how bad FSU will be. Then I thought about them being an expansion candidate. Well, the last thing I ever want to hear in Beaver Stadium is that dumb *** inane mind-numbing stupid war chant. Good Lord that has to be the most annoying thing on the planet. Or is it just me :)
It’s not just you.

Gonna hit the hay. Lately I been plagued with Jurassic Park dreams, no escape, I do not wake up at my cheerful best. My go-to nightmares used to be parking garages, I can never get out of them but at least I’m not going to be some prehistoric creature’s dinner.

Healthy dreams should be illogical and challenging.

FSU does the War Chant because its the only song their fans could learn the words to

The FSU private suites were mostly empty without A/C, personal bartending and cell phone coverage. 🤭

SMU is trying so hard to lose and Norvell calling the game so tight and stupid it makes Franklin look like Mike Leach. Can Florida states QB be that bad?

Norvell gone and the job at FSU ain't close to what it was 20 years ago. Who knows who's next in Tallahassee? Maybe BGJ?

They could do worse, a lot worse.
Florida State wins the turnovers 4-1 and loses. Gives up 585 yards. Next up for FSU: Alabama.

I’m fresh as a daisy this morning, no dinosaurs in my dreams. Have a good day, y’all!

Yes...he's that bad. Nothing against the kid. He's a Stanford grad...sure he'll do well in life but I have no idea why Norvell went all in on him.

Ooof.
So Novell’s buy out is 51 million before the season ends and 45 million after😳
As whoopie Golberg said to Demi Moore in Ghost…girl you in trouble.
Before the game, the ESPN studio host was talking with Jimbo Fisher, who was doing the game. To the best of my knowledge, this is the first time he was back at F$U since he left them for aTm. The studio host (some young woman) signed off the segment with "Enjoy Tallahassee, Jimbo" - and the look on Jimbo's face seemed like he was not sure if the studio host was aware of his past in Tallahassee.

"Girl you know that my wife cheated on me in this town, and that I left them high and dry for a better paying gig, and they probably don't really like me, right?"

Yea I was wondering how that went. But he was probably like..."Miss me now".
