Game thread. Americas Team vs. fsu

[kougkurt]

Just got done shoveling snow. Need a beer.

 

[LeachPack]

May need several. Dark (game) clouds on the horizon.

 

[425cougfan]

First two plays are about as expected.

 

[gpcoug]

Yeah this is gonna be ugly

 

[Coug90]

Blown coverages all over the place. This might be uglier than we thought possible. Offense better be on a-game today.

 

[425cougfan]

Oregon State will probably beat Florida and we'll get boatraced by Fresno. Bowl season is a joke with the portal and opt-outs.

 

[95coug]

Well our defense may as well not be on the field, for as relevant as they were on the opening drive

 

[702coug]

D line getting worked. Gonna be a long game.

 

[CougPatrol]

This isn't even a game. The portal era has effectively ended lower tier bowl games.

 

[anon_1nb5kgc7kwlls]

Does Fresno St have any opt outs for this bowl?

 

[Coug90]

Well…looks like the boys had fun this week. Guess that’s what these bowls are all about

 

[425cougfan]

Don't think I can do this, guys. See you next year. What a ****ing disappointment CFB is compared to what it used to be. Even then it wasn't close to a level playing field, but at least you could do everything right and have moderate success, and a decent bowl game meant something.

 

[BleedCrimsonandGray]

wsu 3 and outs every possession, fresno scores every 5 minutes...

84-0.

hope it happens

 

[kougkurt]

I always wondered why Ben Wilson didn’t get any PT. Not anymore

 

[Coug90]

Well that was big

 

[95coug]

Something has to be done with matchups going forward. The portal transfer window should not open until after Bowl season, for starters. Otherwise, this will become commonplace - middling P5 teams will lose half their roster and become overmatched by decent but intact G5 teams.

Not that any of the CFB power brokers care.

 

[95coug]

Oh, by the way - these announcers already suck ass

 

[Coug90]

ward looks like he doesn’t GAF. I’ve seen this before…honestly wouldn’t shock me if this is his last game as a Coug what I’m seeing here.

 

[CougPatrol]

You've determined he's transferring based on *this* game? I guess it's possible, but both Ward and his Dad have said he's staying.

See if he comes out after halftime

 

[gpcoug]

Jake Haener the 3rd best QB in the country hahaha ok guy

 

[Coug90]

Or declares? Just observing what I see so far…dudes disinterested. Makes me wonder.

 

[702coug]

Converted 3rd and 20. Ha wow

 

[Coug90]

Coug front four only unit that came to play today.

 

[gpcoug]

Classic 3rd and 20 1st down completion

 

[BiggsCoug]

I always wondered why Ben Wilson didn’t get any PT. Not anymore

He is a 43 linebacker. He doesnt have a position in the 425.

 

[702coug]

Holy hell the Haener worship is getting disgusting. We get it.

 

[CougPatrol]

Apparently Langford is interested.

 

[gpcoug]

Holy hell the Haener worship is getting disgusting. We get it.

He is the 3rd best QB in the nation according to whoever this announcer is.

 

[Coug90]

Fantastic hit. There’s no way Langford is still on the field if the pac12 clown show has the whistles.

 

[gpcoug]

Well hanging in there after a rough start

 

[Coug90]

Well hanging in there after a rough start

Not quite sure how it’s not 21-0. I’ll take it.

 

[95coug]

Now the replay booth is going to look at the spot and probably move us back to 4th down since we weren’t smart enough to run another play.

Definitely would happen if it was a pac-12 crew.

 

[95coug]

See if he comes out after halftime

On the plus side, it’s not likely that we’ll be worse in the second half like we were all season.

 

[Coug90]

Ffs boys run a play so that doesn’t happen!! Was yelling at my tv!!

 

[gpcoug]

Yep not sure why we didn't run a play
Now we get stopped on 4th

 

[Coug90]

That’s 100% on ward. Get to the line and run a play. F’in stupid.

 

[95coug]

Yep not sure why we didn't run a play
Now we get stopped on 4th

Back to back stupid decisions

 

[CougPatrol]

We're gonna get worked in this game, but I like how the defense is hitting. That's a good sign for 2023.

 

[Coug90]

Back to back stupid decisions

Mateer will be QB1 first game next year. Heard it here first. Either Ward bounces or he just gets beat out.
