Three days – three Florida State football posts. Unfortunately, this one deals with neither delusions of grandeur nor tasers. Michael of Braves & Birds has a very interesting post which he largely cribbed from another site. The original poster broke down the records of 14 elite college football programs over the past 12 seasons. He…
The news is now nearly a week old, but I don’t want to let it slip by without a comment. After the USA’s 3-0 spanking of Panama on the road last week, they have all but wrapped up a bid to the 2006 World Cup. The win, the USA’s second 3-0 victory in less than…
Another day, another wacky Florida State football player story. God bless those Seminoles. This one even beats the taser story from yesterday. It seems that starting quarterback and son-of-assistant-coach Wyatt Sexton got a little bad “stuff” at Bonnaroo and went nuts in the streets of Tallahassee. He was found face down in the street, but…
Is it just me, or is this year’s NBA pre-draft saga producing an unusually high number of relevant ACC stories? Usually a few guys declare and that’s it. We read about how they are doing and where they might be picked, but that’s it. Not this year. To help you poor folks who have no…
Let’s play a little game. Take a look at the following list: 1. Miami 2. Florida State 3. Virginia Tech Now, you have to guess. Is that a prediction of the final standings of the ACC in football next year? Or is a list of schools most likely to have a player tasered by the…
You may have noticed that I like to poke a little fun here and there. I have my sarcastic tendencies. I might make fun of a few fools from time to time, but this story right here contains no such humor. It’s a great little story about how good sports can be. Yeah, it’s a…
I’m not the first person to notice that the quality of ESPN’s program has steadily declined in recent years. Their anchors have all become smarmy, half-price Kenny Mayne clones (the excellent Fred Hickman excepted) and they seem to be trying hard to become the new MTV. Eventually, I expect that like how MTV never shows…
Will Bynum was one of my favorite ACC players the last couple of years. He’s just an offensive terror. He’s short, but strong, quick and tenacious. I honestly think that he was the hardest player in the league to keep from getting to the rim – including Chris Paul and Raymond Felton. (On top of…
The ACC, led mainly by UNC and Duke had a heck of a month of basketball recruiting in May. I’ve already written a couple of pieces about their successes, but another school that did surprisingly well is Florida State. The Seminoles, coming off a dreadful season, outfought UNC for 2005 big man Uche Echefu and…
I’ve been meaning to write a lacrosse article for weeks now. Ever since Sports Illustrated put lacrosse on their cover (albeit as the secondary story), I’ve wanted to capitalize on their momentum. Since then, other news outlets have been running “lacrosse is hot” pieces. The local News & Observer ran one, the Greensboro News &…
