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 [...]

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. [...]

I know NoleCC already talked about the NCAA’s decision, and his 6 points were excellent, but I have one thought of my own.
According to Andrew Carter, the NCAA striped the FSU Men’s Basketball Team of the following:

22 victories from the 2006-07 season
19 Regular Season wins
1 ACC Tournament win
2 NIT Post Season wins

Now granted, only Ryan [...]

As you are probably well aware, “National Signing Day” is this Wednesday. That is the day colleges nationwide find out which current high school football players will join their program in the fall.
Everyone has their opinions on National Signing Day. Many don’t like it. Others think it is a great day to celebrate the [...]

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 [...]

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 sat through FSU / Jacksonville State and all I got was a lousy game… and wet. I got really, really wet. Even with a really good poncho and a dri-fit (or is it fit-dri now?) shirt to wick away the sweat created by the poncho. Yes, I was stupid enough to sit through yesterday’s [...]

You guys know guest poster Jordi Scrubbings… you know one of the guys that write about the orange roundball sport. Anyway, he’s up on Deadspin today with some blather about FSU and March Madness, whatever the hell that is.

This may come as a surprise to many, but Florida State is currently the best basketball school in the ACC.
Number 1.
Not Duke, North Carolina, Wake Forest, Maryland, etc, etc.
Florida State.
As of February 22, Florida State basketball teams have a combined in-conference record of 19-5 (11-1 for the ladies, 8-4 [...]

A few notes from Sunday’s game against Pittsburgh:
Considering Pittsburgh was number three in the nation, the Noles played well. That said, they should have won.
My seven take-aways from the game:
1) Please stop the turnovers. 18 more this game. I wonder what the highest wins to turnover ratio is. Has [...]
