I'll offer a counter-argument, I don't think Norvell and FSU have a culture problem. He took the reigns of a program in dire straights during COVID and zero ability to recruit in person. During his early tenure we replaced our AD, President, and the President of the boosters. He beat LSU twice and OU, which Saint Bowden was never able to do. We have had zero off field incidents since he has been here and the academic performance of the players has two years in a row broken records. He won 19 games in a row and went undefeated last year despite losing an NFL quarterback. Our problem is HS recruiting. We haven't had enough blue chip talent remain committed to the school, which is largely due to Norvell not holding his staff accountable. For that reason we don't have leaders who have been in the program for a long enough period of time, who are strong or great players, to lead the team. Saturday will be a big game for Norvell and we'll be better able to assess if losing by a walk off FG to a team in another country during week zero, and getting blown out by a team who has prepped for FSU for eight months was a one-off or not. Regardless, he has to hold his staff accountable, if they can't recruit, they can't stay.

I didn’t think we could take an L during a bye week but yesterday had a 4* DL decommit and commit to Texas. 😂 At least ND takes the spot light off us for a bit! Tennessee looked stout.

I have no idea what is going on. We look terrible. I’d prefer to let our young QBs get snaps at this point. I’m not in a good spot.

miami’s offense looks pretty stout. Billy probably won’t be around long. Shame.

Talk to me when you have your first ACC title. 😂

We got handled. Probably Norvell’s worst coached game at FSU.

Getting closer. I actually bought a Playstation to play EA Sports College Football 2025. Much harder than it use to be when I was playing it in college from 2002-2006.

Shut the f*** up with that "felon" bullshit. You know that's garbage and was conducted by a kangaroo court. I don't care about who the person is on an individual level, I care about their policies and how they have performed in like roles. I don't know about you but my life was vastly greater when POTUS was Trump as opposed to Biden, so I'm going with him and if you can't understand that decision, you are afflicted with TDS. Hoping he picks a good VP. Can you tell me one aspect of your life that has been better under the current leadership?

I didn't watch, what declarations?

This on top of Texas officially joining the SEC which A&M desperately hoped to avoid. Only way that would be worse is if this was their football coach after losing the NC.

'The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.'

Keep receipts. The average American has a very short memory.

We don't want to join the SEC, B1G bound! Enjoy the Big 12. Also, wasn't a Miami player recently convicted of murdering his teammate?

Yeah, sucks to get things plugged into you I would imagine. Sorry dude. Or are you talking about “formation flying?” EAD.

We do some of the delivery pilots periodic training and I've heard some of the other CIPs mention occasionally that there was quite a bit of color in the events.

The KC-130 and KC-10 were easy, provided there was no turbulence. If there was turbulence give me that heavy ass 135 basket any day. But you definitely had to put that kink in the hose or you'd fall out continually. The 135 had/has a bad rap I think because it was more difficult to stay in once you plugged, and there wasn't much room for error once you were in the basket vice the 10 and 130 which could prove problematic given the heft of the basket. The only thing odd about tanking on the 130 was you were flying 230KCAS in the high teens, so much higher AOA and less throttle response.

The flying never got old. It was like sex. The other stuff certainly did. Go for it, you won't regret it.

I hear you. There is a very pro 2A judge that keeps fighting back against the restrictions and it seems as though magazine round limits and ARs might be back on the table in the future. I remain cautiously optimistic.

HK fan myself. Have a P2000SK for CCW, and a VP9 Tactical OR. Looking forward to the VP9SK, now that it is CA compliant, starting to hit dealers.

So Miami agreed with the ACC to sue both FSU and Clemson? Their president Julio Frenk was present. Are they not confident they have a landing spot once the ACC goes the way of the PAC-12? Just happy to live off the revenue that FSU and Clemson bring in? Super shady stuff going on with the ACC and their "back dated" vote to sue FSU just to have the jurisdiction in North Carolina. It will be interesting to see how this all falls out, but I think FSU, Clemson, and UNC are out likely for the 2025 season, and no later than the 2026 season. Maybe then you guys can win your first ACC title. 😉

So Harbaugh is gone. Many rumors that he was asking for protections from any NCAA investigations if he was to stay at Michigan. Odds that Michigan is the second team to reach 1,000 wins and vacates the National Championship?

Man, I feel bad for the Alabama fans or grads who are 30 or younger... Kind of. They've known nothing but winning pretty much their entire lives. Funny how when they got into the CFP Invitational and told FSU fans to get over it. Now they're whining non-stop because their dudes are leaving in droves, and there is no open portal talent to replace them. Cam Ward is a playmaker and was definitely our #1 target. I think DJU will perform just fine, especially with all the talent we've added in the last week. Miami probably has more talent than anyone else in the conference, on the field. But your coach has shown that he can't harness that so far. Once again, we'll see but FSU has won the state two years in a row. I'm not sure Alabama will sink to "mediocrity," but they will return to earth and be in the top 1/3 of SEC instead of #1 or 2 every single year. I probably put them at #4 in the SEC right now behind UGA, Texas, and Ole Miss.

We kept our coach... Like I said, zero fucks given. We've crushed the recruiting portal, I thought '25 would be our year. We'll be a contender again in '24, just like we were this year. I think we'll also be in another conference come '25.

Funny that Michigan cheating for two years and their HC purchasing a product for a recruit didn’t bring any violations to them. Yet we are penalized because our assistant coach drove a recruit and his parents to meet with someone to discuss an NIL deal. Clearly no bias. Of note, head of NCAA enforcement was former FSU AD who got run out of Tallahassee after his DEI hire who ran our football program into the ground. No fucks given - Norvell just extended his contract and ‘Bama is about to burn!

Saw that. An Alabama player just committed to FSU so it'd be hard to believe he did so without knowing Norvell was staying. Should be an interesting 48 hours.
