Nov 9 | Florida State

It worked for them last year. I think if anything, it proves that it's risky and cannot be the relied on as the primary strategy. Big difference in FSU approach and say OSU approach. Both spend big, but do it differently.

The talent available in the portal will continue to get leaner as the Covid era guys with extra eligibility finish filtering out.

The glue that held everything together was Jordan Travis. He covered up a LOT of underlying weaknesses in that roster that didn't get exposed until the Georgia game.

Don't get me wrong - a 13-0 regular season + the ACC Championship is a great year. But they gutted out wins against some pretty bad teams (BC, Miami, an average Clemson team) based in large part on Travis's brilliance. When that was lost, they were cooked.

Understand. It was the defense that was the difference maker last year. They played in the portal for that. I don't think that's easily replicated.

Good thing ND got that premium pricing in early, because holy cow what a dumper of a game this will be... except the ND kicking ass part.

Wasn't it even worse than premium pricing? Premium pricing PLUS you had to buy NIU as well?

My boss and I both received emails today from a company offering free tickets.

Apparently DJU has a broken finger on his throwing hand.

Convenient way to save face as he gets benched for the year.
That's what I thought they were going to do when they reported that Leonard had an injured shoulder.

Complete team stats and game leaders for the Clemson Tigers vs. Florida State Seminoles NCAAF game from October 5, 2024 on ESPN.

Their game against Clemson this past weekend wasn’t really as close as the scoreboard makes it seem, Clemson dominated and just couldn’t finish drives + missed field goals. Doubled them up in yardage.

Brock Glenn was actually decent, would imagine he’s the QB going forward. Just no reason to play DJ U anymore.

Supposedly DJ is injured, but that could be a ploy for Florida State to save face, or for DJ to protect what little (if any) draft potential he has as Florida State continues to tank. He supposedly had surgery on his hand for a broken finger in his throwing hand. They say he may be done for the season, and I would expect that to be the case. I doubt he'll want to come back against us or even Florida after being out, and certainly not in a bowl with backups, if FSU even gets there. I don't see them getting more than a few more wins all year.

I went ahead and snagged them. Comes with dinner at the Morris Inn and a gift card for the bookstore.

I look at FSU this year as Clemson '23.

I’d say FSU is a decent amount worse than 2023 Clemson but I can see the comparison. Pretty high preseason expectations for both.

It also has a clown school not just a (seasonally adjusted for 2024) clown football team

I get more and more worried about this game with each FSU loss.

Not me, especially as it gets colder now. It's expected to get down to low 30s that night, colder the better. Hopefully we get a repeat of the 2018 game and we see some flurries.

Norvells buyout is $70 million.

Parlayed one good year into serious bank. Good work by him and his agent

 

[irishff1014]

This is unacceptable for a coach to act like this. But it’s Florida state so it should surprise anyone. Shit hole schools hire shit hole people.

It was a stupid extension in the first place. Unless you win a title in In your first 4 years an extension should be off the table.

Seems like these extensions rarely ever work out for the school.
