Ouch. Jimbo Fisher's going to have his work cut out for him.

The new competition for Florida talent from USF and the other upstarts won't help, either.

They weren’t all that good to begin with.

Bowden’s lack of disciple over the years finally catches up with him.

Guess just making them run the steps at the Doak doesn’t work anymore.

Hey Bobby,

How effective is that false forced Christian fundamentalism now? It would appear that it was for more for the alums and administration than it was for the thugs you recruited.

Tell me about it. We had to suffer through one of his disciples at NC State. Leading the ACC in penalties and turnovers for 5 years got old really fast.

The school announced earlier this week that 25 of its players were included in its ongoing investigation of academic wrongdoing by the athletes.

Good for FSU! Some of these spoiled kids seem to have forgotten that they are supposed to be students.

It’s about time FSU stopped cheating and got a new coach.

I’d say DQ the entire team and let a deserving school get a bid at a bowl game. The Music City Bowl people must be livid.

36 ineligible? Who do they think they are, The Florida Gator Felons?

It was much better in my football days at U of Miami. Cash, cars, free meals with no waiting for a table anywhere in town, rooms at most hotels, gasoline on my Gulf card...

The good old days.

Wow. I recently received a class-wide email from my medieval history TA, saying how thrilled she was that this was her first class ever (out of seven semesters of being a TA) that she didn’t have to deal with any cheating issues. It astounded me that it was so anomalous that nobody in a class of 40-50 students would cheat.

This is all a scam. Don’t believe it ‘cause the REAL reason is that Bowden knows he can’t beat the Blue & White so thus comes up with this lame attempt to have something to blame when he loses.

Trust me.

Go Big Blue!

I have been invited to play in the game and I'm looking forward to suiting up again because I haven't been on a football field in a quarter of a century. Maybe I'll get on as a tight end and get put out there as an option on third downs. This 45-year-old body can still get open on short yardage situations and if the ball is thrown within five yards of me, I'll find a way to come down with it. Just don't expect me to get many yards after the catch. I can't run for beans.

I did take one semester down there so I guess I qualify as a gray-shirt. Also, I never cheated on exams. I like history.

I guess you’ll be easy for your fellow freepers to recognize, sitting there on the bench next to the ice cooler of cold beer?

Until the major colleges declare themselves to be the minor league of professional football, actual standards of behavior, both academic and personal, will continue to hold sway. And for that we should all be grateful.

Go UK!

Looks like both our B-Ball teams are in for a long year, though.

Might be tough for Bobby to weather this one. An Orlando Sentinel poll is running about 60-40 favoring his resignation.

The Noles aren't exactly leading the nation in graduation rates, although they're ahead of Texas, Alabama, Georgia, and Tennessee.
