So Miami agreed with the ACC to sue both FSU and Clemson? Their president Julio Frenk was present. Are they not confident they have a landing spot once the ACC goes the way of the PAC-12? Just happy to live off the revenue that FSU and Clemson bring in? Super shady stuff going on with the ACC and their "back dated" vote to sue FSU just to have the jurisdiction in North Carolina. It will be interesting to see how this all falls out, but I think FSU, Clemson, and UNC are out likely for the 2025 season, and no later than the 2026 season. Maybe then you guys can win your first ACC title. 😉

So Harbaugh is gone. Many rumors that he was asking for protections from any NCAA investigations if he was to stay at Michigan. Odds that Michigan is the second team to reach 1,000 wins and vacates the National Championship?

Man, I feel bad for the Alabama fans or grads who are 30 or younger... Kind of. They've known nothing but winning pretty much their entire lives. Funny how when they got into the CFP Invitational and told FSU fans to get over it. Now they're whining non-stop because their dudes are leaving in droves, and there is no open portal talent to replace them. Cam Ward is a playmaker and was definitely our #1 target. I think DJU will perform just fine, especially with all the talent we've added in the last week. Miami probably has more talent than anyone else in the conference, on the field. But your coach has shown that he can't harness that so far. Once again, we'll see but FSU has won the state two years in a row. I'm not sure Alabama will sink to "mediocrity," but they will return to earth and be in the top 1/3 of SEC instead of #1 or 2 every single year. I probably put them at #4 in the SEC right now behind UGA, Texas, and Ole Miss.

We kept our coach... Like I said, zero fucks given. We've crushed the recruiting portal, I thought '25 would be our year. We'll be a contender again in '24, just like we were this year. I think we'll also be in another conference come '25.

Funny that Michigan cheating for two years and their HC purchasing a product for a recruit didn’t bring any violations to them. Yet we are penalized because our assistant coach drove a recruit and his parents to meet with someone to discuss an NIL deal. Clearly no bias. Of note, head of NCAA enforcement was former FSU AD who got run out of Tallahassee after his DEI hire who ran our football program into the ground. No fucks given - Norvell just extended his contract and ‘Bama is about to burn!

Saw that. An Alabama player just committed to FSU so it'd be hard to believe he did so without knowing Norvell was staying. Should be an interesting 48 hours.

Glad to see him leave, for selfish reasons. Probably didn’t like where CFB is headed. Interested to see who replace him, Lanning seems to be the leader. Hope Norvell isn’t a legitimate candidate.

Back to working on and driving my old cars on the weekends. Still interested to see how this portal ends up going. Wonder if Michigan is going to get to 1,000 wins twice and have to give up that title. Regardless, their ends did a hell of a job getting to Penix and making him look worse than he has all season and completely unlike the Heisman candidate he was.

If you've attended and graduated from a university and contribute financially you don't think that puts you in that tribe? Small pun intended.

My apologies, it's slightly offensive when you question a program's culture, which we've had to rebuild from rock bottom due to a previous DEI hire who was smoking weed with the players and out bangin' college chicks instead of leading his team. You don't understand why a team who went undefeated no longer wants to participate when they were left out in a historic decision? What happened last weekend? The teams with losses, lost. So results on the field matter, but they didn't for Florida State. I don't fault one of those guys who not playing - I think the entire university should have declined the invitation.

Ok... How many ACC Championship's does Miami have? Didn't you start as an ACC team like two decades ago? Have you ever finished what you started since coming to the ACC? Concur. Guys will continue to play if they have the opportunity to play for the NC. I guarantee you bowl games will get worse as far as participation next year when the playoff expands to 12 teams. And why play? Because as we've seen, results on the field during the regular season actually do matter despite what the talking heads at espn would like everyone to think.

I hope Washington wins it all.

42% of the team, 35 of the 85 players did not play in the game. It wasn't the third string players sitting out... Two of Georgia's players sat out. That game had absolutely no bearing on the level of talent that FSU or Georgia had. Some people say it is a culture problem, I don't see that. I think Mike Norvell has a great culture going on right now at Florida State. Why would players want to play a game that doesn't matter? And then risk getting hurt for no reason at all?

We have to move. We won't be able to compete with schools in the B1G and SEC who have marketing deals that pay them twice as much. The judge who has been assigned to the court case is an FSU grad for his bachelor's and law degree. No other sports bring in money, only football does. If our football team can't compete because we are in the ACC, then the other sports will suffer as well. I hope we go to the B1G. I despise ESPN and their affiliation with the SEC.

Rough day for FSU, fell from 3 to probably 11 with two five star flips. Props to Miami for killing it today.
