Jordi Scrubbings

Jordi Scrubbings is the alias of a Tampa-based writer, blogger, and self-proclaimed creative genius. He is a graduate of FSU (BA ’03, MA ’05) and an avid FSU sports fan. Whereas Jordi lets others deal in the stats, numbers, and immediate observations, Jordi focuses on trends, patterns, and analytical (albeit sometimes unusual) insight. He is a big fan of Gene Deckerhoff and his favorite FSU athletes include Charlie Ward, Peter Warrick, Toney Douglas, and Nigel “Big Jelly” Dixon.

Jordi’s other writings can be found on his homepage JordiScrubbings.com and on his retired blog The Serious Tip.com.

(* If they can practice, they can practice. It is [...]

Most regular readers know I’m tough on the Seminole Booster program. I’ve “put them on blast” time and time again. I’ve suggested they be replaced by a stock program, I’ve begged for their transparency, and I’ve compared them to a well-funded, influential political lobby group.  You can say I am not a fan. Yet, I [...]

I know this is a little late – my most humble apologies – but Wednesday night I made my debut over at BusLeaguesBaseball, writing about the friendly (soccer term!) between the Seminoles and the Philadelphia Phillies. Sure, you might already know the score, but find out all that no one else bothered to tell you. [...]
