Dear Seminoles: When history looks back on the tenure of Bobby Bowden, it will remember three of his teams. The first two are obvious: they are the teams that won a national championship under his guidance, first in 1993 and again in 1999. The third team? By an accident of timing, that team is you [...]

So how come I never met this guy? He lives in Florida, is an FSU fan, a Mac user, and a Halo player. I’m sure we’d get along famously. My Orlando friends have some ‘splainin to do.

in Pigskin

Tonight we get to watch The Ohio State Buckeyes frog-stomp the Florida Gators in Arizona. I’ll be watching the game with my Dad and certainly won’t be live-blogging it, so today’s warm-up post is the long-awaited story of the third-best football tradition in the state of Florida, the Florida Gators. Obviously, judging which school has [...]

Tradition

in Pigskin

While we wait for the Bowl Championship Series to decide whether it’s going to set up a rematch of the Ohio State – Michigan game for the national championship or whether the Florida Gators will get a chance for the Buckeyes to frog-stomp them in the Fiesta Bowl this year, I thought I’d spend some [...]

Seminoles vs. Gators 2006

by Mike on 11/25/2006

in Perennial ACC Champs, the FSU Seminoles, Pigskin

Last year at this time I stated: We could go 2-7 next year, and if the two were Miami and Florida I’d call it a successful season. Unfortunately, I was eerily prophetic on how bad this season would be. But as this game kicks off, there is hope. The reader should be aware that I [...]

Yesterday, he did the honorable thing and resigned. (Later breaking news revealed that the FSU Boosters agreed to pay [...]

FSU v. Miami – the Fourth Quarter

by Mike on 9/4/2006

in Perennial ACC Champs, the FSU Seminoles, Pigskin

All quarters should begin with an FSU touchdown. That is my new policy. FSU ties it, 10 – 10, virtually guaranteeing this game comes down to a field goal. A couple of very nice passes by Weatherford, and then we’re visiaully assaulted by Holly Rowe and her now-uncovered hathead. Could someone please keep this woman [...]
