What BBN said about it

  1. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorThanks, Dale's lamp friend Bartholomew. Now the Hot Take thermometer. ESPN reports Louisville beat Florida State forty-four to twenty after FSU led fourteen to nothing.

  2. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorCoach Mike Norvell called it an extremely poor performance. Dale, you're up first.

  3. Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorLeading fourteen to nothing and losing by twenty-four is a preview of the end of days. I felt the same in two thousand nine.

  4. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorThat's a NOT, Dale. The end of days wouldn't bother with a second half. Vera?

  5. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThis is a growth opportunity. Fourteen points in the first quarter is a vision board, and the rest was a misunderstanding.

  6. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorHOT. Vision boards beat scoreboards every time. A growth misunderstanding is my new favorite thing.

  7. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorMy final take: coaches should say 'extremely poor performance' after every drive-through order too.

  8. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorWrong fries? Extremely poor performance by us. That's accountability, and it's the hottest take I've got.
