Crimson Red Sports

For those who didn't go see a high-school game this evening.

Gotta love a team named for both a nautical phenomenon and a botanical region.

BC sidelines looked good at kickoff.

Terrible option play.  Fumble.  BC has the ball.

That was quick.  Bubble screen: 7-0.

Boston?  :lol:  Just kidding (you probably won't see this unless you quote me)

Whew!  I had to check to make sure I picked BC.

:lol:  You'd think BC would change their name, since they're a university.   :dunno:

>:(

I went for the obvious picks last week.

You shouldn't change your strategy, your first strategy is usually correct.    :dunno:

I've never thought about that but yes you would. :lol:

That was last year, when I got about 55% of the picks right. 
I'm going to find a fish or some other mindless pet, and score my picks based on its feeding behavior.  Couldn't be any worse, and at least I could blame the pet!

My team looks like crap so far. 

Come on Wake!!!

Second play in a row that Wake had a lineman leading the runner down field, but the lineman blocked nobody.  NOBODY.   :dunno:

Wow, Wake QB just looks confused, slow, and soft.  (http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a379/Orlena/pp_dancing_261-football-sm.gif)


Then he throws a perfect TD pass.  WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT.

Ruh-roh!

7-7

I didn't know Flutie was back in school.  :dunno:

The DB for Wake simply ran with the receiver and watched him catch a 50-yard pass.

So this is ACC football?  Clemson will walk into the BCSNCG.

Really.  LONG pass on the money.

10-7 now, BC.  (http://www.gratisandgratis.com/emoticons/Football/Emoticons%20football%20(11).gif)

YES!

I hope Wake stays with that option.

AGAIN???

The Wake QB ran a crummy option again, tossed the ball on the ground, and BC has it.

 :facepalm: :facepalm: :facepalm: :facepalm: :facepalm: :facepalm:

The only option part is who from BC will recover the fumble.  (http://www.bangthebook.com/picks/public/images/smilies/emoticon-037.gif)

There already is a Boston University.

I'd have been here sooner, but the last thing I expected was a WF-BC in thread game.  :lol2:

I feel like I am watching a H.S. game, especially WF's offense.

Maybe I should have watched 30 seconds of film on WF; no way I would have picked them then.

Their sideline coaches must be a little off.

There is a high school game on ESPNU if this one doesn't pan out.

Another high school play.

I think he read your post-- better job that time.  INT

:lol:

Ain't that the truth!  Three pages already too! :clap:

6' 9"? That's a big dude!

BC qb is just slow and awkward.  SURELY they have a Gump on the sidelines who could take over.

I wish I had a nickle for every time an announcer says that a particular player in these type games is "underrated". I could retire.  :facepalm:

Game would be tied if WF QB didn't pitch the football like a HS QB. 

It wouldn't be any more exciting though.

The high school QB I played with could run circles around this guy.  In the 80's the triple option was the "it" offense.

Wish I had a nickel for every time Tenpenny is said to be underrated.  :wave:

The worst thing about watching WF's offense is the Meerkat Manor approach, look to the sidelines for the play, preceded by a fake hike on every play.  That fake hike is fooling no one.

:lol: :lol:

I'm sure we'll see that crap at A&M.  Every time they look over the coach is begging JFF to behave.

 :lol:    :behave:

I'm marking this down as a loss for Wake.  Maybe that'll change my luck.

Next week I'm consulting the goldfish.

Don't give up on them yet................never mind.

Tanner Price is not a QB.  >:( >:(

Hopeless.

The Wake Defense is going to strangle the QB at halftime.

Not so fast, my friend......

There are at least 34 Alabama high schools with better teams than these.

What!?

They're trying to find a way to choke.

I thought he was in, but no conclusive evidence.

He missed the hole.
Ducked his head.
Should have gone 3' more right where he had 2 blockers.

:dead goldfish:

Think I'll go see what LF is reading.

What channel is that HS game on?  :dunno:  :-[

U

I think I just saw this fish come out of Lou Holtz' mouth.

 :lol:

:lol: #+

:lol:

 :lol: :lol:

The National Weather Service has to hate it when he does a show
with all the flash flood warnings they have to issue
you would think they might make him get a special permit or something

 :dunno:

Fumble no. 3 on the Wake Forest QB.  Another bad pitch -- this one the RB recovered.

If you're going to run the option, maybe you should first try it out in practice?

 :lol: Duck soup!

Virginia will be duck soup tomorrow.

BC 24-7.  Runaway now.   :(

end of 3rd Q

Chech out.   :wave:

Once they start showing soccer highlights, it's time to go.

Yeah, I picked Oregon, too. Almost didn't since it was at Va., but west coast teams play better traveling east than east coast teams traveling west. I also picked BC at home.

Wake is terrible.

I almost didn't pick BC because of the post about the vegas odds to win the national championship.  I think BC was 500 to 1.  Then I realized that Wake wasn't even on the list.

:lol:

Well, that did not work out quite as I had planned.

Can't believe ANYONE besides me picked Wake.  Must be a bunch of us dopes.  :wall:

Don't be so hard on yourself. It's hard picking a winner between those 2 pathetic teams.  :facepalm:

heads or tails. ;)

You're not fooling me.  Your picks are always near the top.  Mine: bottom.
I'm definitely going to use the goldfish technique.

I point at the favorite, then watch the fish's reaction.

I got the pick right so I am tied for the lead with about 20 people and they still put me at the bottom.  :(

:lol:
Hey, your talents are needed in the high school thread.

 :lol: I'll talk to SC about that. Or should I go to Wall-E, I forget.  ???

SC does not have any pull around this place. He is the only one that got the pick right listed lower than me.

Wall-E better look out. This is how unions get started.

Wake smoked BC last year.

You will have to take this up with SC but I am pretty sure we were picking the winner of this years game.

:lol:

Now that's a new one on me, I'll have to remember and try it as well. :clap:

Sometimes it just ain't fair. :rofl:

But I'm a lot better at picking last year's game.
