I hate Lane with a passion but I love this speech. Wish Marcus would pull this out as everyone hates us.

Did you not see the Orange Bowl speech? That was his PG version of his halftime speeches.

I can say with absolute certainty he is a lot more colorful with his language when the media team isn't trying to record it.

Dale · 2026-09-07T21:01:46-0400

Lashlee saying they’ve never practiced without helmet comms (since introduction)

again, I would be absolutely irate. I legitimately think ND would have been like we aren’t playing this game. So much more to lose.

ACamp1900 · 2026-09-07T21:06:27-0400

Ok wait so what are they doing???

ColinKSU · 2026-09-07T21:07:52-0400

I’d be so fucking pissed if I was SMU. This is absolutely amateur hour shit.

CANONIZEFATHERSORIN · 2026-09-07T21:10:23-0400

FSU should have to spot them 3 points

ColinKSU · 2026-09-07T21:11:44-0400

Michigan Fan getting bricked up at the thought of what they could get away with in a setting like this.

Huntr · 2026-09-07T21:12:01-0400

Jimbo needs to learn to chew with his mouth closed, fuckin in-bred

Huntr · 2026-09-07T21:12:39-0400

ACamp1900 · 2026-09-07T21:16:03-0400

Amazing how much electricity comes from a lack of electricity. I’m hyped to watch this 1985 football

ColinKSU · 2026-09-07T21:16:58-0400

If time is being kept on the field, does that mean they can’t use the secret locker room clock that the officials actually use that no one knew existed until a half hour after the Michigan game?

Huntr · 2026-09-07T21:22:58-0400

slick7410 · 2026-09-07T21:23:54-0400

Game sounds “cleaner” - no extra noise, outside of announcers. Crowd /war chant / band.

Maybe I’m just imagining it.

Irishcop · 2026-09-07T21:25:32-0400

I had no idea Maruice Crum was the DC at SMU.

Notre Dame Joe · 2026-09-07T21:27:58-0400

Maurice Crum Jr. Class of 08. DC at SMU,

Dale · 2026-09-07T21:30:26-0400

Secondary busts gonna be aplenty without comms. Really picks up heavy portal defenses in learning a defense.

ColinKSU · 2026-09-07T21:35:45-0400

Did they just say that this game doesn’t have replay, unless something egregious happens that they need to review?

Why would you not be prepared for loss of comms, though?

That shit happens in the NFL kind of often, and they’ve been doing comms for forever

Yeah. That’s bad coaching.

Idk. Do we have a “comms are down” period of fall practice?

You still already have cards/hand signals. So the play calling doesn’t really change. You just lose the coach in the ear help. Which is far more important in CFB than NFL.

irishff1014 · 2026-09-07T22:02:49-0400

ESPN has a header on the score box that says official time kept on the field. Lol

Huntr · 2026-09-07T22:05:33-0400

horrendous play call against a defense that fast

Irishdawg · 2026-09-07T22:13:35-0400

Dale · 2026-09-07T22:14:22-0400

The gap between Mensah/Jennings and the third best QB on our schedule is gaping

NDPhilly · 2026-09-07T22:24:02-0400

FSU despite their falloff still has a top 3 ACC roster and some guys like Kromah hanging around with real NFL talent. They are 16th in team talent when transfers are factored in. Thats why the spread was so tight.

IRISHDODGER · 2026-09-07T22:24:25-0400

I’m drawing a blank with all the transfers, Where did Ashton Jenkins play prior…Auburn?

greyhammer90 · 2026-09-07T22:24:51-0400

Well Rawls is fast

But then the game has to get played and it turns out they’re hot garbage

Hilarious with their limited NIL budget they went out and got Wisner from Texas to backup the Top 100 RB they already have (and pay). Good allocation of resources.

greyhammer90 · 2026-09-07T22:26:41-0400

Imagine how embarassing it is to be the designated FSU glitter guys when your team sucks

Huntr · 2026-09-07T22:27:50-0400

Ashton Daniels, yes, Auburn, Stanford prior to that
