Florida State Equals Michigan

No, not the same. Not a rival, game was tied

We were winning and pretty much just had to not fuck up. This game was tied and FSU was far from certain from winning the game.
And The decision for us to punt it was a reasonable call and I'm pretty confident jimbo will be criticized for trying a 58 yd FG. Even NFL teams rarely try kicks that long. Plus He learned nothing from Sabans fuckup a few yrs ago.

Exactly. That kicker is the best. Even if it was 60 yards, you try with that kicker. He is a NFL kicker for sure. S*** happens, even to the best.

THE TRUTH

This reminded me more of Alabama's loss to Auburn...
October 24th, 2015 at 11:01 PM ^
this may end up drawing more attention to our play because everyone will be comparing the two. So why don't we all continue what we have been doing and not talk about it anymore.

... it wasn't wide right.
October 24th, 2015 at 11:13 PM ^
This play was really no different than the Auburn Alabama game.
October 24th, 2015 at 11:14 PM ^
Not that I much care, but UM's will always feel more inexplicable because MSU didn't really "do" anything to cause the play to occur. I mean, GT blocked a FG and returned it for a TD; there's some real agency by GT to win that game. By comparison, MSU just fell into a botched snap and a wobbly kick directly to their rusher. If FSU had fumbled the snap and GT just picked it up and ran it in, it would feel closer.
Still, a crazy end to a game.

Nice sarcasm. Die hard spartan fans cannot admit they looked mediocre and keep bringing up about first downs and total yards, ignoring ST yards.
October 24th, 2015 at 11:15 PM ^
Nope, not even close.
1. Long FGs get blocked often.
2. They were seconds from an OT on the road, so less than a coin flip's chance to win. Espeically considering GaTech loves playing small ball, 25 yard field in a phone booth. GT most likely wins anyway.
3. FSU has won a lot of shit in the past 7 years whereas we haven't.
4. GaTech's coach looked almost embarrassed to win the game that way. MSU's piece of shit coach in lieu of shaking Harbaugh's hand mocked our student section by yelling, "where are the Michigan fans now?!?" after we kicked their asses with a MAC quarterback in Harbaugh's first year and our punter dropped the snap.
So yeah, not close at all.

Just because it involved a kick doesnt make it the same.
The criminoles were kicking to win out of a tie. The Wolverines had the game almost wrapped up entirely.
GT's QB was 4 for 10 with 2 intercerceptions. He kaepernicked the hell out of it and still won.
Meanwhile, Golson looked all american compare to Rudock.
This was a blocked FG, not a fumbled punt snap.
The only thing in common is it was the last play of the game.
October 25th, 2015 at 3:17 AM ^
You say Golson, here is what comes to mind:
1) 22 turnovers last year at ND (14 picks, 4 of which were a Pick 6, and 8 fumbles lost).
2) Has never won a championship of any kind.
3) Booted out of school for an academic scandal.
Doesn't look like an "All American" to me.
October 25th, 2015 at 7:25 AM ^
I know what you mean and it was fitting that he went to FSU. But, he did look way better this year than Rudock. If we would have had last year's Rudock, we would be rocking.
October 24th, 2015 at 11:26 PM ^
I will take one point. Thanks, OP, for making such a stupid thread.
October 24th, 2015 at 11:31 PM ^
October 24th, 2015 at 11:34 PM ^
how when this was a news flash on the Fox broadcast of the USC/Utah game and the reporter said "Remember the ending of MSU/Michigan last week?" to start it off and Gus Johnson responded with a rather irritated tone "Yes, we do remember MSU/Michigan."
It's pretty funny that the one national TV football announcer who is a known Michigan fan rarely if ever announces Michigan games.
October 25th, 2015 at 2:00 AM ^
that was cool...
October 25th, 2015 at 7:32 AM ^
Agree. If we can get Gus Johnson, I would rather see our games on Fox. The only concern I have is Colin will show up.

As OP says, sure we sympathize, and yes I'll be thrilled for the media and both UM and msu fans to move on, but I think the biggest difference here is that the FSU-GT game shouldn't have even been close. Michigan/MSU was supposed to be a close game.

It matters 'cuz it shows that shit happens. The MSU game was a fluke. Just like the GT-FSU game. A fluke. Shit happens in CFB on a regular basis.
UM will be fine.
Go Blue!

FSU suffered a loss in a very improbable way that was still orders of magnitude more likely than what happened to us. Plus it required actual skull by GT. Plus there's a difference between
October 25th, 2015 at 12:28 AM ^
you have to admit that this was pretty improbable too I mean, the GT players were even running around waving their arms yelling "Don't touch it! Don't touch it!" when the guy just said "Screw it, I'm picking it up!" Talk about a heads up play to realize he had a shot to take it to the house even with half his team yelling at him to leave it be.
Going from winning to losing is obviously worse, but the FSU ending was still incredibly improbable. I wonder what chance they really had to hit that 56 yard FG? Even most pro kickers are pushing it at that distance.
October 25th, 2015 at 1:50 AM ^
So it is a disaster for FSU, losing to an unranked GT team. Though it would be worse if this same play happened against your main rival. Thus, if UF did this to FSU then it would be much worse for them.

To another team. Now the sports world can focus on FSU's disaster!

I have to say this. I was on both ends of this from one week to the next. I was at the FSU/GT game tonight, Section 205, Row 15, Seats 26 and 27, with my dad. When Lance Austin went into the endzone, I started weeping and just gave him the biggest boa constrictor hug I've maybe ever given. All of the heartache watching Tech this season was washed away in one play. I realize this is a Michigan board and the loss last week hurts, yes, I get it, it took me 72 hours to get over it. But there are a few of us here who were on the happy side of the Block Six tonight.
