Alex.

Kevin Carter, Ellis Johnson, Ben Hanks, Dexter Daniels and RFN are probably my favorite all time defensive players.

And to bring this thread back around, guys like Mike Harris and Dwayne Thomas should get some recognition. Harris’ stop on a sure TD helped force that FG in ‘97.

Yeah, you can't just take a dude's head off now, can't hit his head, lead with your head, and usually can't launch, but I've still seen some huge hits by safeties. Even more by linebackers.

Just not ours.

Davis was admirably kicked from several games. And who knows the damage Stiner or Taylor could’ve done if they’d ever been with 15 feet of an offensive player not already tied up. But yes, Lawrence, Nelson and Major would be lucky to combine for 4 full years of eligibility today.

I really miss having ..... Spikes making the other team want to avoid pain more than they wanted to try to win.
Many players were seen wearing eye protection after a certain game Spikes played in.

I usually think these historic racial issues are blown out of context in the modern world, but Doak Campbell was a fkkn animal. He was basically cut from the same white sheet that Lester Maddox and George Wallace were. Here's a description of this fkkn pig from Wikipedia:

Campbell has been described as strongly opposed to the admission of African-American students to Florida State. According to James Schnur, "Campbell exacted deference from the campus community, suppressed the liberal editorial policy of the semi-weekly Florida Flambeau newspaper, and refused to tolerate any breach of racial segregation. He forced the campus chapter of the American Association of University Professors (AAUP) to cancel a regional conference at FSU when he learned that black faculty members from the neighboring Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University (FAMU) planned to attend."[12][13]

At the same time, Tallahassee was racially uneasy because, following the successful Montgomery bus boycott of 1956 and the Supreme Court case Browder v. Gayle, local activists, including some students, boycotted Tallahassee buses seeking to integrate them as well. The Florida Board of Control, which ran the state's universities, warned students not to get involved in "the Tallahassee integration dispute".[14] In an episode that was reported on nationally, Campbell had no hesitation in expelling a graduate student who spoke "urging support of a Negro candidate for the Tallahassee City Commission against the white incumbent", and who invited three African students (not African-American) to an FSU party.[15][16] He required the student newspaper, the Florida Flambeau, to devote less space to integration.[17][18] He went on record denying that he had said that there would eventually be Negro students at FSU.[19][20] He expressed regret that Tallahassee Negroes seeking to end segregation were not meeting in juke joints, because it would have been easy to ban FSU students from them. But they met in churches, leaving Campbell "in a quandary over how to ban student support of integration".[10]

I have to agree that Campbell was a horrible person and yet as of today his name is still plastered across the stadium.
So we have three separate situations with variable levels of racism associated with completely different outcomes.

1. FSU has a stadium named after a blatant racist and his name is still in place with little evidence to suggest that anything will change.

2. Texas has an official school song (Eyes of Texas) with an undeniable racist history and after much debate remains the official school song with no substantive changes

3. Florida has a cheer (gatorbait) with zero real evidence of any racist past or connotations and yet UF preemptively eliminated the tradition from the program.

It’s so nice to see that UF continues to make every move possible to put the program in a bad light and ensure that prominence and major sports championships never return. In these times of rapid change, it’s so comforting to know that some things never change.

What a winner. Did the flaming spear at midfield evolve from the earlier tradition of burning a cross there instead?

George Wallace was a good man. Don't taint his legacy with that of Doak

So Deion is already comparing himself to Nick Saban? He's already shown how thin his skin is, this won't end well.

Attaboy Deion. Piss off the press and they will hammer you when you start sucking.
It would have been funny AF if the reporter said, “Ok Neon.”

"OK Neon, whydontcha tell us how you emphasize the importance of classroom attendance for your players?"

He’s practicing throwing in the towel on his nfl career. He’s got the motion down, he just needs to learn to release it.

Give him a year or 2, and he’ll throw in the towel.
