It's out and we’re off! Bottom 10

Postby ponyte » Wed Sep 09, 2009 2:48 pm

We are off the Bottom 10 for the first time in a while. OU didn't make the coveted #5 spot but one can't argue with the winner of that position. Also, we are off the waiting list. WSU is on the waiting list so who knows how Sept will shape up for us.

I have a pretty good feeling we are on our way out of the bottom 10 for a good while and SMu will take the top spot for a long,long time

I usually don't either; saw that on my yearly check of what they thought about our first game.

Considering we were at No. 9 in the Preseason Bottom 10

Great showing but North Texas going from the No.1 spot is impressive as well.

Let's make this a tradition not a flash in the pan!

I think ripping Florida State's clock management is a joke. They weren't perfect and got a little help from Miami's TO (nice organization by the Canes inside their own 5). But keep in mind, the Canes also got flagged for PI on third down and gave FSU a first down and goal. So the Noles had 3 shots at the end zone in the last 14 seconds. Getting 3 plays in the final 14 seconds isn't too bad.

When the clock is running, everybody hits the panic button. The Noles were inside the Miami 5. It's not like they had to drive the length of the field. Stupid announcers were the ones screaming, "What are they doing?" They were fine. They ran their stuff.

I just think the media was wrong about this. Noles just didn't score.

Of course we're not on the list. Don't you know the rules?

"Bottom 10 law...states that a win guarantees a team at least one week off."

Well hells bells before you know it we'll break into the top 25. I guess beating 1AA teams can be to your advantage.
