1. And as we bid a fond farewell to our soon to be former conference brethren Maryland Terrapins as they leave for BIG having compiled an O-fer record at Doak Campbell, we can only observe how appropriate it was for the Terps to wear white unis. Made it much easier rather than having to hoist a surrender flag en route to the 63-0 beat down they suffered.

2. Speaking of 63-0, one can only wonder will the 25th ranked Terrapins be ranked when the polls come out? Perhaps the more accurate question would be will the Terps even be listed as “Others Receiving Votes”.

3. As the game was clearly out of hand as evidenced by FSU’s insertion of the second string QB as well as numerous “consulting the roster in the program players”, general rules of sportsmanship would be to keep it on the ground and just run the ball the rest of the game. Oops!!! One Jacob Coker lengthy touchdown run later …. So much for that conventional wisdom. Perhaps FSU should have resorted to just crawling with the ball.

4. The wit and wisdom of Mrs. BFT. As replay called for an eye brow raising review of Kenny Shaw’s TD catch, TV showed the slo mo replay of said touchdown presumably the same one the replay booth was viewing as well. Came the comment from the couch, “They’re kidding right? Do they want to make sure he caught the ball and had both feet down …. both hands too …. and had his butt down just for good measure in the end zone two yards before he went out of bounds?” Based on that replay, can’t say I disagree with her.

5. Jimbo Fisher on the pre game show commenting on the game. “We better have our A game.” By A game can we assume he meant A as in ass kicking game?

6. Everyone can rest easy. Former FSU defensive line player Darnell Docket, who made the bet that he would stop should Florida State lose to Maryland, will not quit Twitter and continue tweeting. I know everyone was very concerned about that.

7. Best interview question goes to Tom Block who asked punter Robert Aguayo what his post football plans were. It is apparently down to two choices for Robert … criminology (his major at FSU) or the PGA. Aguayo said he believes he could have a future on the tour. So Block asked, “What’s your handicap, what do you shoot?” Responded the punter, “Ninety.” We’re suggesting to Robert to go with criminology.

8. Apparently it is in some contract with FSU somewhere that they must score within the last minute of the half every game this season. That’s the only explanation I can think of.

9. Gene Deckerhoff on Devonta Freeman’s shake and bake move on a Maryland defender: “Freeman disrobed the would be tackler.” We are certainly glad that was NOT a literal description of that particular play. Seriously glad. Family entertainment and all that don’t you know.

10. And speaking of family entertainment, under the category of “OH MY EYES, MY EYES!!!”, the LAST thing I needed to see on a Saturday morning was about 20 Northwestern male fans at ESPN’s Gameday show wearing speedos. I reiterate …. OH MY EYES, MY EYES!!!

Bonus Fittingly Random and Necessarily Meaningless Thoughts

11. Sign seen at said Gameday show (from an obvious NW fan taking a shot at Ohio State’s 2012 NCAA probation) : “Look Ma …. No Sanctions Ever”. No national titles either as I recall. Now riddle me this Batman. What do you think will be remembered more when they recite the history of college football, the number of national titles the Buckeyes won (5 btw) or the fact that the Wildcats have never been on NCAA sanctions? Just saying.

12. Couldn’t help but notice the segment on said Gameday show showing a drill involving the use of a broom to train QBs to throw better lofted touch passes. I can think of another use for that broom. If they are so inclined they could drop by with that broom as I have a little housework I’ve let slip over the last month at the old hacienda. Couldn’t be helped. I’ve just got so much to do what with so much college football to watch right now. So if they wouldn’t mind dropping by.

13. This random thought shut down by the Federal government until further notice.

14. With Georgia leading 17-3, CBS color analyst Gary Danielson commented following a missed field goal by UGA, “It’s still a football game.” Which leads one to wonder if the Bulldogs had made the FG would it no longer be a football game and what game would it have become?

15. It was either the best seats in the house or the worst seats in the house depending on your point of view. But, I could not help but notice the two lone Bulldog fans clearly visible wearing their Georgia red seated directly behind the goal posts where Georgia’s Marshall Morgan licked the winning points as they celebrated the kick among a vast sea of orange clad Tennessee fans. Somehow I don’t think those Volunteer fans shared those two UGA fan’s sentiment right at that moment.
