They lost to Kentucky in the Elite 8.Sam Cassell’s team made the Final Four around ‘93 I think
F v c k all Noles, especially Blobby BowdenI attended a FCA banquet last week and the speakers were WiLLLLLLLie 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 WiLLLLLLLie 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!
Wow, they are seriously butthurt about the "planting the flag" incident in Doak last year. They literally put three GATOR players on their poster because they are so upset about it. I love it. Our players didn't go nearly as far (and our coach even went out to ensure they didn't) as FSU players do every time they win over us, yet they have their panties all in a wad over it. Classic FSU (the only way the word class and FSU can really fit into a sentence together).

LOL, I guess that is totally possible (and probably the likely scenario). In which case, well played by Swonk.That’s really on their poster?!?
I thought Swonk photoshopped it.
I think it is a photoshop bit I didnt do it.
Look closely at the gravestones.
FWIW, FSU fans hate the poster
Look at the crowd here:
I will say this, it took a damn decade of shyt football to cause our fanbase to dwindle. It took the Clowns six months.
At least they are still dancing.
