Why the obsession?
Oct 15, 2016, 12:48 AM
|
|
So I seriously mean no harm by this, but literally half of the threads on your board tonight are about UL. I get the whole Heisman debate, but get over it, Lamar is better than Watson. You guys beat us because you had a better TEAM, not QB. You're the class of the ACC, 3-0 vs UL, but act like little brother. What gives?

1. It's the only game on tonight. 2. Jackson would be warming the bench for Watson, anyone with any football knowledge knows that. 3. Obsession? You just came by our message board on your gameday.

Now a much better runner he is, but there is nothing about Jackson's arm strength, accuracy, ability to read the defense, or leadership that comes close to that of Deshaun Watson. Thanks for the laugh though!

Watson may have him on leadership and reading the defense, but he's not in the same universe with regard to raw talent. Sorry, but the numbers don't lie.

Rewatch the second half of our game. Totally picked the defense apart and made some very tough throws. Watson threw three picks-Jackson has 4 this season.
I'll openly admit that Louisville would be a top 25 team at best without him. He's playing behind a very suspect O line.

Intelligent...
He actually had time to throw in the 2nd half. Everyone says he can't throw, but grossly overlooks the fact that he's usually running for his life or throwing with a 6'4 beast in his face.

Because you lost to Clemson and now you're own obsession is to figure out a way to get back at us a little .
By the way , when you're favored to beat one of the basketball schools by 35 and you fail by this much , maybe you shouldn't be espousing your quarterback as the greatest in 2016 .

a suspect FSU team that lost at home to UNC. Time will tell how good FSU is this year, but right now, thats what your hanging your hat on. Is LJ electric, yes.. but he only played 1 good half against Clemson and 1 forgettable half. Once LJ has played a full season I'm happy to have this discussion, but a flash on the pan doesn't make your guy better tham ours.

I think most of the bad mouthing of Jackson on here just comes from people being pissed that Watson isn't getting all the same Heiman talk. People on TV give their opinion of the best player in college football, which has nothing to do with Jackson, and our fans don't like it so they look for anything to trash him.
All the Louisville talk that you are mentioning, that's because you are a top team in the nation. You were the only game on, so everybody is going to talk about it. You should enjoy that, Louisville is back on the big stage for now.
It is comical when you read what people say. Many people on here have just watched sports their whole life, not really played to have that understanding. Jackson is phenomenal, there's just a lot of bad blood right now because he's getting a lot of attention and our fans don't like it. Especially since we won, lots think that should be the deciding factor in the Heisman it seems like. And then he threw the tantrums against clemson, so that obviously gave people a reason to talk bad about him

It's not as much about the Heisman...that's still a long way off...Watson has more than enough time to state his case.
Let's be honest though...that was more than just a tantrum. He lost control and composure....and then he did this.
Now keep in mind, we've had to listen to tons of Louisville fans, tons of coots, talk about Boulware...whining about everything under the sun about the game "being rigged" but no one is discussing that. He kicked him...twice. It's clear as day.
And let's look at how "rigged" that was to Clemson. If the refs had called Jackson for doing that, the outcome would have looked similar to this. http://www.al.com/sports/index.ssf/2016/09/usc_player_ejected_for_stompin.html
Know what that means....what you saw at half time is the LAST thing Jackson would have done in that game. No come back, no Heisman numbers vs Clemson....is ejected with the score 28-10 at the half. But the refs rigged huge to Clemson....per the Louisville masses. Nah, they got lucky the refs were calling it how they were. Even if Boulware is penalized or ejected for that tackle as well (that wasn't a choke), Jackson, a Heisman leading QB, being ejected has much more impact on that game...and would have been the biggest stink in college football if it had happened.

The "this many threads about that thing" argument is as suspect as Mr Jackson's temperment.
There is also a thread about catfish biscuits on the front page. That is some deeply disturbing stuff there. Everybody knows that only butter, jelly, gravy or pork chops belong on or in a biscuit.
Yes, this is my first post this season.

Dude if anything we have never seen a fan base cry as much as Louisville after a loss. Y'all beat FSU and all of a sudden you think you are football royalty. It takes more than just beating a down FSU team. Louisville is about as elite as Houston is . Your team is about on the same level as they are. A decent program and that's all.

I think the subject came up because the Duke @ UL was the Friday night game tonight. People talk about other games, including conference games, as they are happening, quite frequently here.
The rest is probably just backlash from some Louisville fans complaining a little too much about phantom calls, refs, conspiracies, etc. UL played a competitive game, but Clemson did what they needed to do, and was physical in the trenches and still won by a TD despite 5 turnovers.
You have to remember that Clemson has also been carrying the ACC banner (against the $EC media and other media favorites) for years and competing with FSU, as well as the old school ACC favoritism for NC schools, mostly in basketball, for decades.

Come on man. They came to clemson and almost won after being down 18 at half time. You can say what you want about turnovers, but it's not like we were just handing them the ball. We didn't want to make those turnovers, and they capitalized when they happened. Just stop.
At the beginning of the year, everyone said pull for the ACC bc it makes us look better. Hahaha what happened

You stepped on a few doormats and then lit up the worst team FSU has fielded in a decade. Your fanbase has already embarrassed itself enough parading around like Louisville is some sort of power worthy of widespread respect. You have accomplished NOTHING, but hey, congrats on the September Heisman and clawing past Duke to reach 5-1. Emphasis on 1.

Lol why the obsession? I loved watching that game and seeing a Duke defender getting tackled by the Louisville left tackle on a crucial third and goal for Louisville. Of course Jackson missed the throw anyway. No call.
Minutes later Hikutini gets stripped as he's fighting for extra yardage. The refs say a whistle blew, even though everyone knew there was no whistle. Louisville keeps the ball.
Where's the faux outrage from crybaby Petrino and the salty vag Louisville fans? No, they are predictably silent.
Calls go both ways in every game, now stop acting like scorned women and pretend like you belong.

about Louisville fans, besides how you talk trash on your board, was that, not only was my account denied access to the board, but my wife's account which is tied with a Big Ten team was denied access too.
Basically, your fans want to enjoy in your imaginary world and don't want any interference from outsiders.

I had the 'pleasure' of listening to the game on xm last night while driving home. It was the Louisville feed. Honestly, I was going to just keep my thoughts to myself.... UNTIL I saw your (whiny) thread!
Listening to your two play by play guys was PAINFUL. They are as equally whiny as you and the vocal minority of the UL fans (AND your coach) have been since your loss in Death Valley.
And allow me - orange tinted glasses and all - to ALSO add: padded stats (oh, to include Jackson 'keeping' the ball for your last score) does NOT a Heisman winner make. I don't think there is ONE Tiger fan, not to mention a LOT of pundits who would take Jackson over Deshaun Watson as their quarterback.
Take your pathetic, whiny, obsessed diatribe elsewhere. Here, you're just a sore loser with a serious case of butthurt.
GO TIGERS!!!!

Jackson didn't look like a Heisman winner last night did he. Lucky the refs bailed your team out last night or your team might have got beat by Dook, yes DOOK. That fumble inside the ten right before the long TD run was a gift saying forward progress had been stopped, he was fighting for yardage, if he had broke free they wouldn't have said the same thing. Still Dook had a chance til that bogus roughing call. Good luck winning out the way your team played last night not going to happen, Go Tigers!

I agree with the fumble being a give me....forward progress wasn't stopped. But that was actually textbook roughing the kicker...ran directly into his plant leg. Cutcliff should have told his guys not to go after the ball direct at the kicker on that play....just stay away from the kicker. Even if the guy made it, would have been a 6 point game they could have won.

Yes.. The blueprint for beating Louisville has been set. Attack the LOS and make him throw. But OMG the Refs saved them last night.
