The Florida State Seminoles make their second trip to Atlanta in just over a month.

Here are some of the more interesting tidbits from the press conference that was held at noon today. Sorry for the note taking type of format, but I wanted them up on the site quickly. Jimbo Fisher The relationship with the new coaches on the staff is a huge advantage. Coach Trickett and he think [...]
By NoleCC Look, I dislike the Florida Gators as much as the next Seminole, but seriously, can the FSU fan base stop acting like a two-year old that had their toy taken away? If you read the message boards, a lot of Nole fans truly believe that UF backed their way into a national title [...]

Saurian Sagacity came up with a formula to determine the best conferences based on the Bowl Season. I think it needs to be tweaked a bit probably, since I don’t feel like the Big East deserves a third [...]

He is also taking over for Quarterbacks Coach Daryl Dickey, whose contract will not be renewed. His only the 8th Offensive Coordinator under Bobby Bowden, in Bowden’s 31 years as Head Coach at Florida [...]
By Bill Swartzbaugh “Mentally, you try to give some rational reason or explanation for why you lose a game like this,†Hamilton said. “The truth of the matter is that we got beat by a much better basketball team . . . that had a couple of guys that we didn’t have an answer for [...]
