Thinking FSU fans now know how we felt after "Punt-rooski"

What a kick in the gut that was ...
So, I had to take just a moment to chuckle to myself when "what went around, finally came around" for the Noles ...

hurricanes that wouldn't do our conference any good. We need the Hurricanes to start beating the Floridas of the world. And not to lose to the sorry Gamecocks in bowl games. That's just ridiculous.

Unplanned and a freak play that some time happens in the game. So I don't think they know anything of how we felt about the "Punt-rooski" that Bobby Bowden fooled us with... Now if we can pull a "shutout rooski" on them, they will know something about how we felt. Maybe more so that us!!!

Seems like any time a team lines up for a really long FG, it

would be mandatory that the kicking team prepare mentally before the snap that a return could occur.
It's one thing to get the kick blocked, but it's a whole other level of screw-up to let it be returned for a TD.
Shows lack of focus and lack of preparation.

I agree... have we learned nothing from the "kick six"

If I'm lining up to kick a 55+ yarder, i'm putting at least 3-4 "athletes" on the field who could run down a guy that either caught a short field goal or recovered a block. Aguayo had the best shot at tackling that guy and it wasn't even close... he got totally burned.

My thoughts, but add too that THE ONLY person who didn't see that one coming that day was Danny Ford. Myself, I was a cadet at The Citadel. Had just been relieved of a duty off campus, ran to my car to listen to the game and heard just enough preceding to think, "this is going to be a fake." Almost everyone I have talked to since said the same sort of thing in anticipating the fake, but DF, somehow just missed it.
No, FSU might know what it feels like to lose a close one on the last play of the game - and it isnt a good feeling. But losing one based on a trick play that everyone else in the world except your coach, saw coming....I say that is a lower feeling still. Just to illustrate, does anyone really believe folks will still be talking about GT's score off the blocked FG decades from now? Probably not. The puntrooskie is as sour to Clemson fans of the appropriate age as losing the war was to the south - we'll never forget.

Because the result was the same ... a total and completely unexpected, last minute reversal of fortune.
Both situations were classic cases of defeat being snatched from the jaws of victory.
It was an unusual circumstance for sure ... but, I don't know that I'd call it a fluke. Unless it's a fluke when the kicking team gets caught totally unprepared and loses focus while trying to execute a long game winning FG.
In the puntrooski game, we simply lost focus and we weren't prepared for a possible trick play from FSU in their own territory with the game on the line. If we had been, the play would have failed.
