This mornings conference call went something like this I presume....
ACC: βClemson, yβall good?β
Clemson: βReady to play!β
ACC: βhow about you Florida State?β
FSU:
Yβall forget Miss St under Dan Mullen was giving Nick Saban at Alabama fits, had two Heisman candidates, and was ranked
#1
in the country at one point. Argue deez nuts! We in great hands!
Everyone remembers Jameis before Clemson but Timmy J was on point too.
βWho said it gotta be a close game? Nobody.β
Inject this directly into my veins!
Some assholes in the Airbnb next to us are having a party outside on the deck at 2:30am in the morning. Had our dogs going nuts. I go outside to say something and they hit me with a βGo Nolesβ and I had no choice but to forgive them and pour drink myself.
Canes fans watching a super bowl with no player representation played in their rented stadium while the warchant is playing over the loud speakers. Simply amazing.
I still canβt comprehend what happened yesterday. Grew up loving college football more than anything and feel like that passion was ripped away from me.
Kirk at halftime with UGA up 3 scores:
βI know theyβre missing a few guys in this game but who isnβt? Ultimately I think the committee and everyone who defended their decision has been vindicated. And as a lifelong Florida State fan, I really hate that for these kids.β
Some of the players that FSU will be without in the Orange Bowl vs. Georgia:
QB Jordan Travis (injury)
RB Trey Benson (opt out)
WR Keon Coleman (opt out)
WR Johnny Wilson (opt out)
TE Jaheim Bell (opt out)
DL Jared Verse (opt out)
DL Fabien Lovett (opt out)
LB DJ Lundy (transfer)
If youβre a FSU fan and enjoyed cheering on guys like Keon, Johnny, Trey, Verse, Bethune, Jermaine, etc you canβt get upset at any player who pursues the portal. Does it suck? Yep. But this is college football in 2023. It is what it is.
Every Nole in Tally this weekend needs to offer this man some food, a drink or a thank you for what he does and the inspiration he is to others. Way bigger than the rivalry.
Shelton Douthett (
@Da12thMan
) has been suited up in full
@CanesFootball
uniform for the last 13 seasons at every home game.
What started as a promise to his fallen brother, has become tradition at Miami.
Last few thoughts on Mike telling Bama to kick rocksβ¦
- FSU is FULLY committed
- Mike (and Sexton) believes FSU will win or settle the suit against the ACC
- FSU is the job we all thought it is
- Recruiting should take an even bigger leap moving forward
Go Noles!
Mike preaches handling adversity and I have a hard time thinking of a player who embodied that more than Dent. Was a pivotal part of a very good defense this year.
In honor of FSU clinching their spot in the ACCCG combined with it being Miami week, here is every single point Miami has scored in the ACCCG after playing two decades in this conference.
I promise you if
@CollegeGameDay
comes to Tally for a game next year Iβll be there. Would be the most hostile environment theyβve ever seen. May not even allow fans to have signs π
.
@KirkHerbstreit
once again showing no shame saying if FSU blew out Louisville then FSU would be in despite lobbying for Bama before Jordan got hurt. And of course
@PatMcAfeeShow
is too much of a coward to check him on that.
8 weeks until Clemson football.
Each week, Iβll share my top 10 favorite plays in Clemson history:
8. In 2017, Tre Lamar delivered the most perfect textbook sack in CFB history to James Blackman.
All Iβm saying is our guy from FSU went to Russia, made ins with the mob, may have *allegedly* helped rob a train and came back to Tally unscathed. Legend!
Kirk Herbstreit addresses the hate from the Florida State fanbase π³
βWhen they b---h and complain. They donβt like facts. They donβt like information. They like conspiracy theories.β
Of everyone drafted, I couldnβt be happier for J-Rob. Dude picked FSU over schools like Bama, Clemson and UF. The coach he committed to left after one year. Then suffered 2 years in the WT era. Then lost his home in a hurricane. Never complained. Just always worked. Be great Jrob
Boys was bragging about Kirk calling their bowl game only to have to hear him praise FSU while theyβre getting blown out. Levels to this πππ
I went to FSU the same 4 years Tebow was at uf and never missed a game. I sat through 30-0 against Wake at Doak. I watched 63-20 at Louisville. I watched BC beat us silly in β17. I watched us swag surf. I watched the entire 2020 season. Iβll be tuning in for this as well.
The hilarious thing about the NCAA is Jimbo and Jameis had to lie saying he stole them so he could play because if they admitted the truth (he had a hookup) he would have been ineligible. Make that make sense.
