It’s yet another exciting weekend of action for FSU sports.  Sadly, the Seminole Softball team is on the road playing a tournament in Columbus, GA, but FSU Baseball and Men’s Basketball team are at home this weekend.

FSU Baseball: The undefeated (10-0), #2 ranked, Seminoles host Appalachian State this weekend.  FSU beat Florida last Tuesday 14-6, and the offense has been red hot.  Expect more of the same this weekend, and with warmer temperatures in Tallahassee, the pitching might improve a bit too.  Keep an eye out on Tony Thomas, Jr., the most exciting player on the squad, and on freshman D’Vontrey Richardson, who has huge amounts of raw talent, as indicated by his gargantuan blast in Gainesville, that is orbiting the earth now.

FSU Basketball: I really don’t have a lot to say about them. Mainly because I’m not big on basketball, Bill From Tampa is, and because they are doing their usual choke job.  They beat Maryland earlier in the year, and then get blown out by them this past week.  I’m starting to wonder how much time Leonard Hamilton has left on the clock to get the program turned around.  He’s made more strides than Robinson did, but the Noles are still far from being a mid to upper tier ACC hoops squad.

And just a quick note about Seminole Softball.  They’ve been kicking butt too, with only one loss so far.  They’ll take on Nebraska, Mississippi State, Tennessee Tech and Seton Hall this weekend, plus any bracket play after that.  Go get ‘em ladies!
