1. What a great first half!! THAT is what we have all been waiting to see from this team.

2. There are no moral victories for the players. You are judged on whether you win or lose, and they lost. But, as fans, we can now see what the players probably have been able to see all year long: this team can play with the elite teams in the country.

3. Credit has to go to the Florida State coaching staff. Their adjustments at the half made all of the difference in the game. They were able to handle Notre Dame's pass rush in the 2nd half, particularly in the 3rd quarter.

4. Good things happen, when you commit to running the ball, and stick with it.

5. I still think Kelly is afraid to completely turn Golson loose to run. Golson looks hesitant when the pocket breaks down. It's almost as if he wants to run, but has to be absolutely sure that the conditions are right. Sometimes he needs to just take off, with a purpose.

6. Don't blame the refs. There were questionable calls on both sides of the LOS, and the Offensive PI that took the touchdown off of the board was a legit call. There were actually TWO guys blocking while the ball was in the air, over there.

My game ball goes to Sheldon Day.......... he was disruptive all night long, and was unblockable on FSU's 3 and out on their last drive.

Great game by the boys. We proved that we can compete against top teams. We are most likely out of the top 10 rankings.

Right now I am just staring at the ceiling with sadness.

Absolutely brutal ending. Feel like 05 USC all over.

Fuck the refs. Hoiding should have been called (like every game) any time our d-line (especially Sheldon) beat their o-line. That is such a shitty call. Prosise was jammed.

Great game. Dumb play from Prosise, as he didn't need to block. Robinson was going to be open regardless.

Very proud of our boys. They showed a lot of heart tonight, and proved they can play with anyone. We've set ourselves up to have a great chance of making the playoff if we win out.

Fuck Jimbo, Winston, and the entire FSU fanbase. What a scumbag program.

I'm tired of moral victories. Played hard, still disappointing. Winston is a piece of shit who will be in jail soon enough for one reason or another.

1. No holding calls against FSU

2. It was the correct call at the end of the game but they didn't have to make it considering everything else they let slide.

3. ND is for real and if we win out, we deserve to be in the playoff. If Prosise doesn't make an excessive block/hold, we'd have scored anyway and silenced the critics.

4. Despite the loss, I'm hella proud of our team, they came to play. They had some lapses on both sides but executed for 4 quarters and simply came up short. Look at the penalty yards, we knew we weren't going to get any help. We had to win outright and that last penalty killed us, otherwise, we'd all be going crazy.

The future is bright, even if the present feels dim.

An absolute bullshit garbage call.

It was the right call as far as the book is concerned (if it was on fuller who might have been blocking, but CJ wasn't) but you almost never see any penalty called at that point in the game.

Don't even want to discuss the game.


Just want to say I'm proud to be a fan of a self-respecting program represented by well-rounded responsible young men that could succeed in all walks of life.

I will sleep tonight, but what kinds of thoughts cross Jimbob the Clown's mind at night when he thinks about the type of kids that play for him?

My only problem with the offensive PI is the amount of other plays where the refs put the whistles away, but then decide the game on a call like that. Not saying it was wrong but there a lot of blatant calls go

No its not. The defender initiated the contact and held on just as much as Prosise did.

Man, I have to be up for work in a few hours. I am so fired up right now.

Why couldn't we all have the opposite feeling this time?

ND is a top-5 team in the country. Proud as fuck of our guys.

Florida State couldn't beat us, and needed the refs to do it for them. We went there and proved everything we needed to prove.

I wish General Sherman would come back and set fire to the south again. Backwards assed motherfuckers.

Great game! Didn't think we would come this close to winning. Great job by the coaching staff and the team!

Refs didn't call at least a half dozen obvious holding calls on FSU yet make a call that is hardly ever called on ND,

What about the other offensive guy that was blocking while the ball was in the air? Might have been Fuller?

Exactly...the defensive guy jammed prosise at the line...So you can't charge forward when that happens? It's a terrible Fucking call in any situation, especially when it decides the game...PERIOD

That was about as ticky tack a call as I have ever seen decide a game.

Hardly ever called.

The play would still have resulted in a TD.

Refs changed the outcome of the game.

They called it on CJ. If they call it on Fuller, maybe I can understand, but Cj was jammed. No call on him.

The refs called that game at the end exactly like the Tallahassee PD investigates rape

By the time Fuller begins to run his 'slant', the ball is practically out of Golson's hand. Darby even puts his hands on Fuller to stop him. Look at the defender on Prosise, he immediately attacks him and doesn't attempt to disengage and even yanks Prosise. You can see Prosise's jersey being pulled.

It's a horseshit call.

ND played well, however they are going to drop hard in the polls. My prediction, 12.

Hurts.

Sucks.

Almost comical listening to Jimbo talk about academics and integrity (whatever he said - I can't truly recall). Ugh!

I don't think so, I think 8-10.

I can't believe we lost on such a bullshit penalty. Even if Procise did hold FSU was holding just as much and they didn't get called for all the holding on Day. The refs could have not called that but chose to take away our game winning TD anyway. I'm so proud of our boys. They proved they are are a legit top 10 team tonight. Golson had some mistakes but he did some really great things too. I will say I am very glad he is our QB and not Winston.

And they are going to Jimbo in the locker room soon. Such horse shit. Even if F$U vacates wins, like someone mentioned would be a silver lining, it doesn't give us the W we deserve.
