TVD and Manny Make Herbstreit's List

He's probably just as surprised as we are that we actually won lol. Someone on staph must've called him after the game.
 
Didn’t get to watch the game Saturday due to family obligations. Watched it tonight and saw tons of dropped balls that help to save our ***. A couple of good play calls at the right time by the offense. Manny failed again but his team got him through it. Sooo many penalties and a bunch on offense, which is inexcusable since we know the snap count and the routes. Don’t forget about the fool DT that gave us a pair of first downs on the offsides field goal and roughing the passer.

I wonder who made the decision to pass on the completion to Mallory with over 2 minutes left, Manny or Rhett. Also funny was that there was some sort of argument between Lashlee and someone off camera seemingly about the math left in the game with using the play clock as running time.

Crazy that they don’t know this stuff. Perhaps they need the 2 point conversion chart on one side of a LAMINATED CARD…thank you Enos (could’ve of used that the other week) and the amount of playclock time it takes to run out a half on the other side. Manny is definitely not worthy of being up there. Herbie is just trying to help him repair his image after seeing the sympathy pictures that Manny has been posing for. He is such a politician it’s ridiculous.

The entire premise of this is dumb, as it was dumb luck that saved some of these coaches—Diaz, included.

Bielema is in some weird-*** nine-overtime, two-point conversion game—where if Penn State pulls it out with one of several shots to do so, then he's not on the list?

Diaz watches NC State's top receiver not cough up a few balls (to the point people wondered if he was point shaving) or that weird fumble that helmet-less dude recovers doesn't go Miami's way—then anything Diaz did to "rally the troops" is moot, had the Canes lost?

Herby is a likable guy, but there's a lot of fluff and nonsense in the rah-rah stuff like this that he does.

Take a minute to actually use all the characters at your disposal to concoct an articulate thought about *why* you gave Diaz a nod this week—as basing it on the one-point win this week would be the same as a three-point loss last week or two-point loss against Virginia before that.

The coaching effort has more to do with the final minutes of a game and whether it's won or lost.

Bielema and Diaz aren't #1 and #2 on the list if not for some quirky break at game's end—which dismisses the rest of the game up to that point—because had either lost under the same circumstances, in the final minutes, they're "zeroes" and not "heroes" here.
