I too have most of their games recorded and still enjoy watching them. I had the priviledge to meet "Charlie" and "Bobby" on homecoming weekend in 93. Thank you for sharing your story. ( I wish "Charlie" would have played pro football, however it would have just killed me if he had played for a team we didn't like ) Take care once a Nole always a Nole!

This thing starts at the top. The hatred for the Gators runs back to when I was a young boy, and began to find my place in the 3-way state rivalry. I alluded to it back in my Charlie Ward glory piece - but Steve Spurrier was a good ol’ fashioned son of a B (pardon my harsh letters). He was brash, he was Cocky - and now, ironically - he’s a Cock. The guy was convinced that he knew the game inside and out, and though he was dubbed the evil genius - and yeah, sure, he gave us a laugh or two (”can’t spell CITRUS without U-T”) - the guy was a total jerk. He was the perfect coach for that town. He was convinced of his own superiority, still didn’t accomplish anything significant, never could get the job completely done - and whined when things didn’t go his way. Perfect ambassador of Hogtown. He blamed other coaches (and still does today) he blamed the media, he blamed officials, his players, his Athletics Director, whatever he could get away with - he blamed. He was a whiner of which we might never see again in sports history. Watch someone throw a visor - and I double dog DARE you not to think about that pompous idiot immediately. This cannot be done. I’ve tried. I promise you. [...] [...] Moving onward and upward. This thing starts at the top.

Thanks Bill, for posting it. Its been crazy here with finals and term papers, etc. and i really havent been on the computer as much as i usually am... so it was very cool to see this on here. like i said, its like the ben harper song "what started as a whisper, turned into a scream" - and i just couldnt stop typing. thanks again. yeah, this started out as a paragraph and ended up as an incredibly overwritten rant.

I was thrilled to hear he got the recognition he so richly deserves. Thanks for paying homage so wonderfully to the player that brought me to the Nole Nation.

It's amazing what sports can do, and although I came to the FSU family post-Ward era, I've heard from many Nole fans and many of my close friends about how great Charlie is as a player, but even more so as a person. Great job! Troy,
