Stanford - Virginia Tech. The Orange Bowl Open Thread

And, to reiterate what I posted elsewhere, the furd band couldn’t find their spots on the field (on purpose I know). I wish their football played with similar precision, and ours played with the precision of our great band. They looked so stupid out there.

I liked it

They always seem to lead the nation in kick blocks. They were ready for that one.

Kevin Love has 17 rebounds – 2 minutes into the 3rd quarter against the Celtics.

Reserve RB goes 70 yds untouched.

lineman needs to focus on blocking and not receiving.

should have knocked that down.

both players fighting for position off the line. bails out a crappy throw.

Why didn’t they tackle him?

Remember Mexi’s post this week about how innovative the Furd offense is?

but how do you all feel about the Stanford D otherwise?

needs acting lessons

Sucks for us. Good luck to him.

announcers didn’t talk about Stanford’s returner catching the punt on his own 3 yard line. If he hadn’t done that, odds are the ball goes into the end zone, they start on the 20, and Luck doesn’t throw the tip/safety.

Been a while since I’ve had the time to throw something up… but I should be free for the rest of the year now!

Wow. Haven’t seen tackling for a while.

That’s 2 for this game??

Nice going, Stanford. Now only if your kicker can convert the PAT this time

Remind me, did we have a drive like that this year?

Any year, since Cade?

but it’s nice to see how a team SHOULD play and CAN play!

gash them up the middle, then a play action bomb up the seam. That’s how you call a football game

They can both run and pass block in the same drive in the same game.

Stanford has really taken it up a notch in the 2nd half. Look what a well coached and well prepared team can do. Harbaugh totally gets “it.”

both sides tough
Stanford is tougher

Those last 2 plays – wow.

Luck finds a receiver – and he catches it!

and they know what to do. Big difference between them and us…

May those days be forgotten. Please CRN, don’t make me look like a fool for supporting you all this time.

what a wonderful sight

It will look just like the last one. No letting up.

They want the back…right now and they expect to score again.

you can really see the talent and coaching differential. We don’t compare in any way. Skill, scheme, effort, intensity.

Yes, these are more experienced teams.

But, the difference is so great.

Fan-G-Ohhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

turn out the lights

are taking collections right now

I’d put the subs in now. Give them a chance to play in the game.

Having said that, I expect to see Luck running more play action on 1st down.

4 minutes to play and Harbaugh is still coaching

interesting stuff.

A whole hour of the tWWL talking heads pumping up Tech during the pre-game. Eat that…

but that was really really impressive. Damn, that was a great football team tonight.

“Oh boy, these are the longest games ever… Wait til Monday”

Something special about a kid like him staying in school.

I know it’s not good for us.

But, he is the best example of a student/athlete I’ve seen in a long time.

If not, why not?

Maybe we need a Bruin Campaign (but the alliteration is missing).

Dang, Stanford scored again? That’s the Stanford we witnessed all year.

anyone want to guess what it was?
