Strike up the band for another FSU letdown

Poor recruiting, bad coaching, academic ineligibility add up to a lousy team. I think Ron Zook may be available after this year.

[subterfuge]

Ping!

[poobear]

I thought Bobby Bowden was their coach for life. His that is.

[brittmac]

I also think John L. Smith will be available. :)

GO Wolfpack!

[100-Fold_Return]

ding-dong

[statered]

I was there....and yeah, Chuck Amato owns Bobby.

[Rummyfan]

Wow! What a team the Wolfpack has! And I hear the football squad isn't that bad either!

But in the ACC, this is Georgia Tech's year!

[TommyDale]

Florida State fans just don't get it. There are other teams in the ACC now that are just as good, if not better than FSU. NC State played a great game last night. Don't sell them short!

Thanks for slapping down Florida Overrate! Always nice to see Free Shoes U. lose.

I am making my way over to your Hazmat thread, but I have to gloat first.

One of our sales reps, an FSU grad, lives in Apex and had to evacuate.
I called and left "The Red and White" on his cell voicemail anyway.

Cruel, ain't I?

[Howlin]

Haha, they brought that Cup!

[Constitution Day]

I saw that, pretty sweet.

It's supposed to be on display at the RBC Centura offices here in RM next Monday.

[johniegrad]

I don't get it. FSU has had tremendous success for a long time but rather than being thankful for all of that fans start coming out of the woodwork complaining because of their poor start this year. Be grateful for what you have and what you had. Geesh.

[Howlin]

What is "The Red and White" for a phone message???

And, yes, you are cruel!

[Howlin]

My husband is a Carolina fan; he turns off the TV if they start losing; and if they have a bad season, they start talking about lynching coaches.

I tell him all the time he expects too much -- and when you have expectations like that, when you do win, you don't have the real thrill of it.

He should be a State fan for a while. :-)

I have an MP3 of this on my home computer.

It's come in handy so many times.

While I have always liked college football (and the pros too for that matter), I have become more interested in D3 football as time goes on. Since there are no athletic scholarships in D3 the talent level is obviously less but the upside of not having it be a business is taken away. They have a national championship playoff system which I have found very enjoyable. Maybe I'm getting old or something but I enjoy the more innocent aspects of the samll college game than I used to.
