You can't win a natty with below average o-lines. Taggelwain's 2019 o-line class was awful. This one is lacking talent as well.
Tate Johnson, Callaway, Offensive Guard
South Georgia offensive guard Tate Johnson visited FSU for Junior Day last weekend. Johnson has a good relationship with Randy Clements and is a top target for FSU bell cow Jeff Sims. He left campus high on FSU and it seems the ‘Noles have momentum with him. FSU insiders Josh Newberg and Zach Blostein put a pick in for Johnson this month.
Richard Leonard, Cocoa, Offensive Tackle
Florida State hosted Kentucky offensive guard Richard Leonard on a visit last weekend. It was his first time checking out FSU and Leonard hinted he could be back again for the ‘Noles spring game. Miami and FSU are working hard to flip Leonard. FSU insider Zach Blostein put a flip pick in for him on March 6th.

Different kind of players? You mean like more 2-3 stars versus the 4-5 stars Jimbo was getting?

If the zags had played smarter, they’d have been up 20-25 points in the first half. I’m not used to seeing a Gonzaga team so undisciplined on offense.

No doubt. The Noles I know were somewhat optimistic they could actually win it all and totally convinced they would make the final four. When they made their late run these guys were talking how they’ve done this all year. I have to admit when Gonzaga missed the front end of 1and 1’s back to back I got a little worried but then FSU fell apart.
Loved it.

Yeah it was odd. I only saw the last 15 minutes. Every time it looked like they had it locked down they let FSU back in it. And talk about slowing down the game.....Gonzaga’s Coach was running deep into the shot clock quite often.

They still have never advanced past the Sweet Sixteen.
Last years clown team lost to Michigan in the elite 8. That's why they had so much hope this season.

Sam Cassell’s team made the Final Four around ‘93 I think

They lost the Natty to UCLA in '72... I think they were in the Metro conference back then.
I remember Louisville was always coming to town to play the clowns.

I attended a FCA banquet last week and the speakers were Willie Simons (FAMU HC) and Bobby Bowden. Simmons was a good speaker and has done well at the mess that was FAMU. Among Tallahassee college football coaches, he is the best Willie by far.
Coach Bowden, at 89, was entertaining with a good memory though he had a couple of gaffs with a name and a date. He's quite feeble and has to be helped to and from. One of his first stories centered around Burt Reynolds. Seems Burt would occasionally call and offer to buy the team new uniforms. Having done this twice, he called Bobby prior to their game in Jax with Bama few years back and wanted to once again buy new uni's. Bobby declined saying that by that time they had every combination of uniforms imaginable. New helmets? Nope, got three or four different ones already. Cleats? No, plenty of them. So Burt tells him he's sending $50K and tellsBobby to just get the team something it needs.
On the eve of the game, Burt flies into Jax from Hollywood and meets Bobby. After a short bull session he takes Burt on the field for pre-game. He notices Burt's looking around to see what new stuff the team has that he paid for, but everything looks the same. Finally he tells Bobby that he can't see anything new and wants to know what Bobby spent the $50K on? Bobby tells Burt that he used it like Burt wished and bought something he knew the team was going to need for the game...the refs!
My first inclination was to jump up and shout "Hell, I knew it all along!" However, my sense of decorum at the FCA event (and my sobriety) prevented such. And even though the story was an ice breaker, I took it as an overdue confession!
