Loyal ScalpEm.com readers, you’ll remember I told you so last year right? Now that economy is in the crapper, and times are much tougher, and a schedule that features two exhibition games, FSU Football ticket sales are declining even more so says the Orlando Sentinel. Sales are down from last year 6 percent, which were down from 2006. Toss in the fact that the football team has been lackluster since 2001 and it’s a perfect storm for a half full Doak Campbell Stadium for many of the 2008 home games.

Seminoles.com has a new Doak Campbell Stadium Improvements photo gallery.

Jonathan Hannah ain’t gonna be a Nole over at ChantRant.

Buster Posey won the Golden Spikes. Gee, ya think?

Jordi is still in the running for FSU Softball Head Coach.

ScalpEm.com is invited to be a part of the Blogpoll. I’m accepting, but those Michigan boys had better not ask me to donate to the Rich Rod Regret Fund when it starts.

He has all of the qualifications… see what you guys think.

Operators are standing by…

It’s pretty safe to say that Louie Berndt won’t be Head Coach next season.

Tebow and Andrews best UF celebrity pairing… FSU Bobby Bowden and Grandma Moses?

Mike, Mike, Mike. Come on now… at least do a little bit of research. Many newbie Seminoles will immediately point to Jenn Sterger… but I won’t, since she’s not a celebrity, and there are better choices for an FSU Ultimate Couple.

How about Playboy Playmate Tiffany Fallon and Burt Reynolds?

Or Gabrielle Reese and Robert Urich?

Or Sarah Blakely (inventor of Spanx… multi million dollar CEO) and Charlie Ward?

You’re slacking Bianchi!

To be more reflective of the teams and student body at the schools. What do I mean? (Thanks, in part to Chili from DannyFordIsGod.com for bouncing some of these around with me.) Chili reminded me to point out that this post is basically an homage to the surveys and posts out there like What Simpsons Character Is Your Team?

I’ve left out some major names… READERS HELP ME OUT AND PROVIDE YOURS!

Duke - Current Chessmaster AI technology for gameplan, no actual football skill included.

Miami - Call of Duty 4, for realistic ballistics (thanks Chili).

Florida State - Grand Theft Auto, because it has a little bit of everything… theft, guns, loudmouths.

Clemson - Roller Coaster Tycoon. Tommy Bowden leads them up and down and up and down each year.

Ohio State -Mario Kart. They’re only fast in their own little world.

Notre Dame - Duke Nukem’ Forever. Said Chili, “their greatness is at best a vague memory of the past and everyone has been waiting years for a resurgence.”

Alabama - Cabela’s Monster Bass.

Georgia - Redneck Rampage, need we say more?

Georgia Tech - World of Warcraft. Too many guys, some of which pretend to be chicks.

Hell if I know. But I’ll go out on a small limb and assume it won’t be Louie Berndt at this point, since she was in the first round of candidates. Maybe I’m wrong, who knows.

Whatever the case, the Noles need to get someone at the helm immediately. Recruiting is in full swing, and FSU needs a lot of help.

Usually I don’t deal in rumors… but all indications are that FSU will have a new softball coach by Wednesday, and an announcement will be made a day or two later.

Take it with a grain of salt.

However, the Noles need to name somebody ASAP, since it’s important for recruiting and the Seminoles have a lot of them to fill.

Hey everyone, I’ve been on vacation eating my slacker jacks, so here’s a bunch of info and some thoughts about FSU sports.

Walter Dix is the fastest man alive. Okay, well he’s one of the fastest if not THE fastest, but in Beijing he might be the fastest and win the gold, considering he beat the current gold medal winner a few days ago. I think there are some “Walter Dix” is so fast comments ready to be made, a la Chuck Norris.

Walter Dix is so fast he can run around the world and punch himself in the back of the head. Ponder that one for a second.

Speaking of track, the FSU Track team is amazingly kick ass. They have won 3 national titles in a row, they signed their head coach to a long term deal and they are sending kids to the Olympics. Pretty awesome, and it’s a team that needs more recognition.

Buster Posey is ALL EVERYTHING. He keeps winning awards. He won the Johnny Bench Award and the Brooks Wallace Award recently.

In some very scary and sad news, the FSU Football Team is likely to be without Offensive Lineman Evan Bellamy. Bellamy was rushed to the hospital last week with a blood clot in his leg. Now MORE THAN HALF of the offensive line on scholarship is freshman. Drew Weatherford, you have my condolensces because you’ll be spending a lot of time on your back, again.

On a brighter note, EJ Manuel might be the real deal. I like what he has to say, let’s hope he lives up to 1/10th the hype.

In softball related news, I was introduced to a great website for info, Ultimate College Softball. There hasn’t been a ton of rumors about JoAnne Graf’s eventual replacement, but I’m hopeful for David Deiros from FGCU. We shall see.

In non-related news, the Danny Ford Is God Mustache / Beard / Dang I Should Have Entered Because Mine Is Just As Ratty As Theirs Contest is going well so far. Check out the recent update.
