Not to say we’ve been anywhere near as dominant as y’all had been, but I hope when it’s Beamer’s time to go he leaves gracefully and on top of his game. Great read!

Great article. Although I currently see things from a different perspective. Being overseas for the last month, FSU football has marked the passing of time – every game means I am closer to going home. I look forward to the games, even if I can’t see them on TV, and bring out my traveling Seminole gnome and put it on my desk in my far away office. So the school spirit is still alive and well.
That said, nothing is more ineffective or dangerous than empire building. Eventually time catches upon to every empire. Those in charge get complacent and the very skill that got them ahead becomes their downfall.
Sad.

I agree completely.

I hate that stained glass window.

NoleCC, One of your best articles. It’s time!! Hell it’s been time for BB to go. Him staying has just started having a negative impact on the other programs.A couple of weeks ago when I ran my tickets thur the shredder I felt bad, but it’s time to take a stand. I will be enjoying softball,soccer and vollyball until there is change. Yes I do understand that there funding comes from Football.

Nail meet hammer. Great read, CC. How the Bobbyguards can continue to stick their heads in the sand is beyond me. And yet it’s happening. This crap needs to be over this year.

Great article!

Notes for Bobby Bowden:

Fans, who believe it’s time for you to leave FSU, are GOOD PEOPLE!

Fans, who believe that Nepotism should be outlawed in all jobs, except family-owned businesses, are
GOOD PEOPLE!
Post Script: FSU football is not a Bowden family business despite those who believe it is a one-man show.

Fans, who believe that a multi-million dollar salary
following multiple years of fewer and fewer wins, are
GOOD PEOPLE!

Fans, who believe that Mr. Smith told the truth, are
GOOD PEOPLE!

Fans, who believe that Presidents of Universities should be negotiating contracts and hiring based on performance and not mentoring or personal relationships, are GOOD PEOPLE!

Damn right, Bill.

Particularly on the point about naming rights for active head coaches!
