Last spring, well, it wasn't spring from a meteorological sense, but it was technically that season on the calendar, the #10 seeded Florida State Seminoles upset the #2 seeded Notre Dame Fighting Irish in the second round of the NCAA Tournament. It was a de facto road game for the 'Noles as they sent ND home early from the United Center in Chicago. That was the college … [Read more...] about Notre Dame vs. Florida State in Champs Sports Bowl

Sooners Down Seminoles: Five Thoughts on Oklahoma’s Victory
Landry Jones came into a raucous atmosphere at Doak Campbell Stadium in Tallahassee on Saturday night having a checkered track record in road games. He was 3-5 in true road games as the QB of the Oklahoma Sooners, and going into a stadium that was louder than it has been in nearly a decade, it was going to be a huge test of his resolve and ability to call an effective game for … [Read more...] about Sooners Down Seminoles: Five Thoughts on Oklahoma’s Victory
#1 Oklahoma Sooners vs. #5 Florida State Seminoles: Brutally Honest Game Preview
With top-ranked Oklahoma visiting fifth-ranked Florida State, we have our first de facto in season playoff game.

But I have to be honest, I believe the main theme of this Florida State Seminoles season will be more like 1991 or '92, or some of those mid 90s teams that just missed than the 1993 or 1999 national championship seasons.

Florida State’s Killer Defense Makes them Dangerous NCAA Tourney Team
VCU may be America's lovable underdogs, but their opponent Friday night in San Antonio, the Florida State Seminoles, are probably the college basketball team no one wants to play right now. The Florida State defense, led by Peter Boulware, Derrick Brooks, Deion Sanders and Terrell Buckey (whoops, force of habit, sorry wrong FSU defense) is the best in the nation. They held … [Read more...] about Florida State’s Killer Defense Makes them Dangerous NCAA Tourney Team
Young Thoroughbred
By: Brandon ‘Scoop B’ Robinson A tattoo etched in a gothic cursive writing on Michael Ray Garvin’s back reads: “Thoroughbred.” The phrase written on his back, which starts at one shoulder blade and ends at the other shoulder blade, is not just something that is a fashion statement. It is something that represents this recent graduate of Florida State’s journey to the 2009 NFL … [Read more...] about Young Thoroughbred
