With all of the bad news lately, who is still optimistic? Vote!

23 Suspensions on the football team, 25 total will not play. Among those that WILL play, Drew Weatherford, Preston Parker, Antone Smith and Greg Carr on the offensive side of the ball. On defense,  Geno Hayes and Derek Nicholson will play.  Who won’t? At least 11 players with starting experiences and others that we’ve seen [...]

To sum up tonight’s game between Florida State and the College of Charleston, nobody on either staff was happy. The Cougars obviously weren’t happy after losing a 12 point lead and thus a golden opportunity for the upset after baffling FSU’s offense for most of the game. Despite winning the game 66-61 the Seminoles weren’t [...]

From Bobby Bowden that various players will not be traveling to the Music City Bowl for “this reason and that reason, including academic reasons.” But, that was as far as they would go with it. But think about this… the common number being reported is 20, add in 20-30 redshirts on a 85 man travel [...]

While we continue to wait to find out how bad the suspensions are for the Music City Bowl and the beginning of next season, Offensive Coordinator / HCIW (Head Coach In Waiting) Jimbo Fisher flat out said that FSU will not burn any red shirts just to fill holes for the game, since the coaches [...]

I’m sure you’ve all heard the rumor, that WVU is calling Jimbo Fisher a top candidate for the Head Coaching job.  Another rumor? Tommy Bowden.  I doubt either one of those ends up a Mountaineer, but I could be wrong.  If Fisher jumps ship, I’ll be surprised, I don’t see how WVU is an upgrade [...]

And how much will we find out? Rumors have circulated all weekend about the number of suspended FSU football players for the Music City Bowl and into the 2008 season.  The numbers range from the not-so-scary to the very scary, especially when a 3 game suspension to start next season is factored in.  Will FSU [...]

Florida State attempted to be the first team to give Butler consecutive losses for the first time in sixty-one consecutive games. But after connecting on 20 three pointers in their game against Maine a week ago, maybe Florida State needed to save a few of those for Butler. The Seminoles shot just 29% (5-17) from [...]

Time/Location: 6:00 PM Conseco Fieldhouse Indianapolis; John Wooden Tradition Record: FSU 9-2, 1-2 neutral site games, 19th ranked Butler 8-1, 3-0 neutral site Last Game – FSU destroyed the visiting and outmanned Maine Black Bears 95-55 on the strength of a school record 20 three point field goals.
