I thought it was time to look at some of the more interesting stuff going on in the world of FSU outside of ScalpEm.com.

1. Mascots retire, but stay active – San Bernardino, CA paper, The Sun, has an article today about a retiree that was the former Sammy Seminole. For those of you that don’t know Sammy, he was the “mascot” at FSU before Chief Osceola became the “symbol” of FSU.
2. “Integrity is integrity. You either have it or you don’t.” - Bob Braman talks about the NCAA sanctions and the effect on the track team.
3. They could have set a good example – Ira Schoffel at the Tallahassee Democrat makes a good point. FSU could have set a good example in the whole academic mess, but they didn’t.
4. Irony 101 – Nick Saban, Alabama Head Coach, is receiving the inaugural Bobby Bowden Award.
5. If you’re in to recruiting – Tomahawk Nation has a lengthy, but smart, piece up on how FSU is Dominating the ACC.
6. Signing day hype means little – Andrew Carter does a nice job of pointing out that National Signing Day hype doesn’t always translate into greatness on the field.
7. FSU Baseball Fan Day – FSU Baseball Fan Day is this Saturday, February 13.
8. FSU Softball – Opening Day is this Thursday at 5pm for the Noles! Check out this feature on team captain Carly Wynn.
