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 am [...]

First of all, I want to wish a speedy recovery to NoleCC. I can’t imagine how painful it feels to take a softball to the face. Ouch. Get well soon, dude.
I want to drop a quick post before today’s game to congratulate FSU for taking a stand [...]

(Guest post by Jordi Scrubbings of The Serious Tip.)
For those of us who remember those long ago days when the Seminoles ruled the gridiron, we remember the connection between Florida State and Cretin-Derham Hall, a private high school in St. Paul, Minnesota. Cretin-Derham was the high school of Chris Weinke, field general of the 1999 [...]

I’m thankful Mike Martin doesn’t have a weekly call in show, just because Bowden’s and Hamilton’s are so boring.
Someone should fix the right field foul pole at Dick Howser Stadium, the L is supposed to line up with the top of the right field [...]

Hey everyone, I’ve been on vacation eating my slacker jacks, so here’s a bunch of info and some thoughts about FSU sports.
Walter Dix is the fastest man alive. Okay, well he’s one of the fastest if not THE fastest, but in Beijing he might be the fastest and win the gold, considering he beat the [...]

Andrew Carter is on top of it, over at Nole Blog. Check out his recap of the latest news coming out of the FSU Athletic Department, including the fact that Women’s Bowling might be the next FSU Sport, thanks to Title IX.
Oh yeah and ticket prices are increasing next year for football… again… by $1 [...]

As a follow up to what I posted yesterday about my ranks of the major FSU sites, where I basically left out all of the “blogs” other than Tomahawk Nation I thought I’d point ScalpEm.com readers to what I read on a regular basis, and how I do it.
Here’s the first clue… learn how to [...]

Be prepared folks, it’s winding down and there are going to be consequences, including ineligible players for the Music City Bowl.  The Tallahassee Democrat has a good article about the Seminoles starting bowl practice in limbo, check it out. It’ll be interesting to see who is involved and how long they are suspended.  Let’s hope [...]
