#8 FSU at Virginia

[Godfatha]

No thread for this Arizona State vs TCU game...the QB who turned us down at TCU just fumbled the ball that led to a game leading FG for Arizona St, then he threw a gane ending interception....so I laugh. Haha. (Yeah, I'm petty)

Just proof that sometimes you don't get what you want, you get what you need.

Florida State has yet to release an official update, but multiple social media accounts indicated that White, who had two catches for five yards, was unharmed after the storming.

Seminoles head coach Mike Norvell offered reassurance postgame. “We got everybody in the locker room,” he said.


According to ESPN, others may not have been so lucky.

“While no players or coaches were apparently injured, witnesses saw at least one fan being taken off the field on a stretcher and at least a dozen others being tended to by stadium personnel.”

The chaos happened so quickly that Virginia head coach Tony Elliott didn’t even get a chance to shake Norvell’s hand.

“I hope that nobody got injured,” Elliott said. “You don’t want to see that. I hate that I didn’t get a chance to go shake Coach Norvell’s hand, because I’ve got a tremendous amount of respect for him and what he’s done with that program.”

But the celebration will come with financial consequences. The ACC this summer installed a new policy concerning field storms that includes escalating fines. Because this was Virginia’s first violation, the penalty will likely be $50,000. A second would jump to $100,000, and a third or more over a two-year period would reach $200,000.

FSU just isn’t that good. The Bama win was not massive by any means because they’re not that good either.

How do you define “not that good”?

Losing to Virginia when you’re supposed to be Top 10 in the country after a “MEGA” win against the Gumps.

Can the SEC get the live audio from the reviews like the ACC?

All conferences and every sport with replay needs to go to this transparency. Very refreshing.

The pro sports need to do the same.

That was one of the craziest initial field storming I have witnessed live. .5 seconds after the game ending interceptions and they had fans all over that FSU player.

Shout out to the guy flipping the FSU QB the bird as well. Classy

Fans were like a coiled spring. UVA has not had many reasons to storm the field. They started lining up 5 minutes before the game was over. For a little while, it looked like they would be disappointed, but UVA’s defense was able to get to Castellano pretty good.
It looks like Elliott is doing a decent job there. I wonder if we would have had the patience to let him rebuild the program here.
