One of the historically beautiful things about football is that it has to be played in the conditions that the day presents. The movement to turn it into a track meet by guaranteeing the playing surface will favor the faster team is not something that I like.

LSU got the gift of a couple calls as well in that game. The officiating was pretty bad for both sides.
That was a clear neutral zone infraction on LSU 3rd down when the refs called the illegal shift on PSU.

Snow, rain, wind, fog, torn up turf... both teams have to play on the same field. Miami had to play on the same shyt field two nights ago and it ended the career of our best RB, but I never blamed the field for the result.

FSU played all 4 qtrs for Bowden. Although this one hurts, the loss is a bit more easy to take with that stat behind it.
Nah...that's a lie. SOAFB Hope you enjoyed it

I'm glad I don't have to wash the uniforms after that PSU/LSU game. It was all around ugly but we'll take the win.
The Auburn/NW game had a wild ending to it. A review changing the call, roughing the kicker, fake field goal attempt, all in overtime. And a ton of passing, the NW quarterback was 47-78 for 532 yds. I got tired just watching them run up and down the field!

Am I mistaken in believing that the Mtn West and the Big East and 10 are the only 3 confrerences over 500 in the bowl games??
I'm trying to put together something after a phone call with Sean?
If anyone knows real quick like, I'd appreciate the reply.

too bad both sides had to play on such a crappy field. Capital One was going to fix that, but they couldn't line up the money...LOL

I hated to watch that play when he was injured. Seems like it will be like the McGahee injury . I think he will be ok, Dr's are getting real good at mending knees. Blame on that injury is on that horrible field, no one laid a hand on Cooper.

after an incredibly bad call by the zebras, LSU runs out of time.
PSU wins by two.....they played the better game, and deserve it. too bad both sides had to play on such a crappy field. Well grabbing an opposing player and dragging him off the pile deserves a flag, maybe delay of game. at most...PSU was laying on the pile trying to burn the clock...don't think it mattered much. when the top three tailbacks are back in the lineup next year and we have some kind of running game, maybe Jefferson will do better.

Stewart is a nice guy surrounded by a lot of tallent he can't get in gear. He needs to be replaced. The tallent won't go to Morgantown if surrounded by lack luster performance. WVU needs a head coach. That said, congrats to Bobby Bowden. He's a class act and always has been. He got a little revenge for being run out of Morgantown.
