I don't think that...@Jeff<BR/><BR/>I am a long time FSU fan. I don't think that you should be taking it as disrespect that you aren't on the hate list. FSU has been humbled and doesn't take any ACC game for granted anymore and actually has made the ACC title more signicant since our rut and the ACC expansion. I think we respect the other ACC programs (except Duke); in the case of BC I don't place them above or below most of the other ACC teams so I think the excitement is at a normal level. We all understand the signifigance and I for one will not take any team for granted until FSU proves its truely back. <BR/><BR/>Here is my list on games of importance:<BR/><BR/>Pure hate:<BR/>Florida (even though this is probably an L)<BR/>Miami (always a rival no matter how bad either side is)<BR/><BR/>Teams I will occasionally rout against:<BR/>Wake Forest (only team to shut Bowden out at Doak)<BR/>Clemson (probably last year of significance)<BR/>NC State (Chuck's old team is almost off this list... this one is probably gaining for you)<BR/><BR/>Teams I have never routed against (except vs FSU or where our ACC title hopes are on the line):<BR/>Va Tech <BR/>Georgia Tech<BR/>Boston College <BR/>Maryland <BR/>(pretty much all ACC teams are in this list)<BR/><BR/>Teams I don't even follow:<BR/>Colorado<BR/>Cupcake 1<BR/>Cupcake 2<BR/><BR/>PS I will be at the gameAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7012441349157663851.post-33184605454584419172008-11-13T15:53:00.000-05:002008-11-13T15:53:00.000-05:00TN- Your predicted lines for our remaining games a...TN- Your predicted lines for our remaining games assume an FSU win this Saturday. If BC wins they'll be favored in their final two games. If lines were put out today, the Wake game would be something like a pk and BC would be favored over Maryland. I agree that FSU will be favored in its final game at Maryland maybe even regardless of the BC-FSU ooutcome. The problem with your logic is though, using your lines, you need Wake to lose one of its final two games of which they are favored in both.<BR/><BR/>I only say BC has an as good or better chance of going to Tampa than FSU because BC doesn't need help from anyone. <BR/><BR/>FSU fans should be excited for this game because its in November and it matters a lot for final ACC standings. Looking at your schedule, you have had a lot of great home games this year. You already had Virginia Tech, Wake Forest and Clemson in the ACC while you play less likely to be in the hunt this year teams like NC State and Maryland on the road. Not to mention you already had a Big 12 team and you have the Gators coming to your building in two more weeks. The FSU home schedule was fantastic for a FSU fan. So if BC falls towards the bottom of that list, maybe it isn't as big of a knock on BC as I originally thought. But if FSU fans don't realize that BC and Wake are two of the teams that they must beat each year to win the ACC, then shame on them.Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00872482409833530833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7012441349157663851.post-31400140995900193482008-11-13T15:24:00.000-05:002008-11-13T15:24:00.000-05:00Mike, since FSU has suspended players in big games...Mike, <BR/><BR/>since FSU has suspended players in big games this year for missing classes, I think your comments are inaccurate at best. FSU will wait for the facts to come out and you can bet that these guys will be gone if they did in fact commit serious crimes. <BR/><BR/><BR/>Jeff,<BR/><BR/>FSU has 2 ACC games remaining and they will be favored in both. <BR/><BR/>BC has 3 ACC games remaining and they will be underdogs in 2 of the 3. <BR/>We can't look at every team in the division as a serious rival. BC beat us in '06, our worst season in 30 years.
