Florida State is having one of the worst seasons in college football history. The Seminoles entered the season ranked inside the Top 10, but currently find themselves with a 1-6 record and coming off the program's first ever loss to Duke.
Many would attribute this unthinkable collapse to the reneged bet of Twitter user @321nole, who promised to eat dog **** [ed] if FSU lost its second game to Boston College. The Noles did lose, but the owner of the account disappeared off the face of the Earth, seemingly cursing his program forever — or at least until someone took up his mantle. That's where DJ Ventora comes in.

Never heard of Gator Nation making bets like this. UF does have much stricter academic standards than FSU.
The NIL and transfer portal played a major role in whsys going on in Tallahassee......some even speculate the team (or at least some team members) have quit on Mike Mike Norvell.
College Football has as much credibility as WWF.
Isn’t that the reason FSU was created; after failing to get into UF, the State need another school in Florida that would take them.
Yep. Feces Savoring University has many many sins to atone for and while they seem to have several coprophagists among their fanbase, it was not the original welcher who did the deed.
The curse remains.
Well, I’m not an FSU fan, but I am a Mike Norvell fan. I’m a Memphis Tiger alum, and Mike was (and I assume still is) a good man.
Even when he left us, he did it with class and on good terms with the fans. The Tigers beat FSU this year, and I wasn’t upset, but I do feel bad for the coach the way things have turned out.
Sorry, all schools have to deal with NIL and the transfer portal now. Norvell might be a great guy, I have no idea, but FSU losing so many games is one of the bright spots in this Gator fan’s season. I know, I know. Misery loves company.
So true! My Mama used to say that a diploma from FSU was very valuable. By putting it near your front windshield, one could park in any handicapped parking spot in the entire USA!
If you think Billy Napier is gonna be some kind of savior for UF I can promise you your are sadly mistaken.
That’s why I said misery loves company. Napier is terrible.
“Isn’t that the reason FSU was created; after failing to get into UF, the State need another school in Florida that would take them.”
Hey! What are you doing? Are you trying to start a war? ;-)
Live by the portal, die by the portal.
Lagway may end up saving Napier’s butt.
“So true! My Mama used to say that a diploma from FSU was very valuable. By putting it near your front windshield, one could park in any handicapped parking spot in the entire USA!”
Uh-oh! Yet another one trying to start a war! ;-)
Well it was the Florida State College for Women.
Which is why we always say, “FSU! FSU! Where the girls are girls and the guys are too!”
FSU and UF fans go at it all year long. Good old fashioned rivalry.
Didn’t FSU have a circus on campus where you could take classes in in things juggling, clowning and other circus activities
One thing for sure, college football has changed forever.....and not in a good way IMO.
