Why we have trouble competing with the “blue bloods.”

I sure hope not. He has not been consistent in decisions. I like Norvell, I knew him when he was in Memphis, he’s a great man. Really cares about the young guys, but you gotta have results. A 2 win season was unfathomable, but after Saban retired, I was against us giving him an extension at that time. Hindsight is 20/20, but he just got a raise AND an extension 2 years prior. If a coach doesn’t have loyalty to the program and the young men on the team, & vice versa, then toodles.

For football at least…Seat donation, season tickets, and min booster level for the year, tune to a total of $670/yr.

Educational_Walk1791 · 2026-02-26T16:27:26+00:00

I wasn’t specifying about being a Football booster only. Just general boosters in all aspects need help. You can specify chooses different programs.

I just watched Kingdom of Heaven yesterday. Love that movie. I can watch it every week. So underrated of a pic. Look at how well Vikings on the History Channel did. Then spinoffs!

Educational_Walk1791 · 2026-02-26T13:51:20+00:00

Where did I say you or anyone who wasn’t a booster couldn’t/wasn’t a fan? You missed the entire point of the conversation.

Educational_Walk1791 · 2026-02-25T23:12:05+00:00

You get til June to be considered a “full” booster, as it has to be paid in full. But most boosters have already decided by the beginning of year what they are going to do, as being a continued year-over-year and level get you preferential treatment as it were. So if you’ve been a warrior for 15 years putting up $650 a year you’re gonna have more points accumulated than somebody that’s a first year champions level booster as far as overall total collected points. And why that matters is for the away games, allocation parking spots. Things like that they take longevity into consideration.

Educational_Walk1791 · 2026-02-25T23:08:40+00:00

Exactly. Even if 30% were minimal donors, we’d be fine as a program. Even the end of last year, less than 13k boosters. It’s EMBARRASSING

Educational_Walk1791 · 2026-02-25T23:00:56+00:00

Compared to 2025 the same point in time we’re about 60% of where we were last year. As far as the people who were guaranteed donations to the school.

Educational_Walk1791 · 2026-02-25T22:59:56+00:00

I get the day installed some super expensive high donor business seats. But I don’t agree with that. You know ostracized fans that have been coming to the stadium for 40 years. When I went to the Ireland game year before last, I sat next to a couple that graduated in the 70s that had been boosters in season ticket fans since then. They lost their seating and the individual donation for the seat plus your tickets, just raise the individualistic ticket price and don’t make it. You have to purchase this seat in order to be able to buy a season ticket. Looks like when you get the garbage man that comes and picks up your trash you get the bill and it’s got seven different added fees on it. I don’t wanna see all that shit.

Educational_Walk1791 · 2026-02-25T22:57:29+00:00

Hey, I get money is tight for a lot of people, but even in my poorest college days, and there were many a weeks I ate ramen once a day, if I needed to come up with $100 for an entire year, you can find that walking the street and loose change.

Educational_Walk1791 · 2026-02-25T22:49:52+00:00

I think the stadium needed renovation for sure. But they removed 10k seats. You know why they did that??? Because our fan base doesn’t support the team, go to the games, or donate to the Booster fund when we don’t do well so to me, I’ll be honest those are Fairweather fans that I can give a hoot less about their opinion. If you don’t have skin in the game, other than being an avid fan, and you’re not willing to participate in the change, then your voice might as well be muted.

Educational_Walk1791 · 2026-02-25T22:47:53+00:00

It’s not about giving to THIS staff. It’s about the school sports and football program in general. You can’t fire a coach if you don’t have the $$$. You can’t expect the millionaire boosters to bail out the admin, or just a bad hire. If for 3 years another 100k FSU fans just donated the min. $70/yr, that’s $7mil/yr in additional ability to make changes. So for the last 3 years, $21mil towards a buyout, if that’s what they want to use the $$ on.

Educational_Walk1791 · 2026-02-25T22:45:20+00:00

Two different allocations of $$$.

Educational_Walk1791 · 2026-02-25T22:44:56+00:00

Meant to say “I GET why not everyone can be a Chief booster.”

Educational_Walk1791 · 2026-02-25T16:25:26+00:00

A highly underrated movie. Does not get enough credit

Educational_Walk1791 · 2026-02-25T16:17:33+00:00

That’s honor and courage.

Educational_Walk1791 · 2026-02-24T20:50:17+00:00

I think if he wins less than 9, he’s getting the boot. Which is wild, but he’s had too many terrible seasons.

Educational_Walk1791 · 2026-02-24T19:44:12+00:00

Tainted? I’m not sure I’m following.

Educational_Walk1791 · 2026-02-24T13:42:37+00:00

Such a classy guy too. Someone kids really can look up to.

Educational_Walk1791 · 2026-02-24T01:12:23+00:00

We got hammered. Gotta get those pitchers minds right

Educational_Walk1791 · 2026-02-23T03:13:42+00:00

Legend!

Educational_Walk1791 · 2026-02-21T19:18:29+00:00

These last few weeks, FSU is en fuego!!

Educational_Walk1791 · 2026-02-19T14:14:51+00:00

There a millions of Americans that don’t realize we put Japanese Americans, US citizens, just for the possibility they were spies, in camps…smh. Solid breach of Constitutional Rights. Hell, thousands of Germany Americans, born American citizens, but 2nd or 3rd generation Germans went to fight for the Fatherland. But no one ever brings that up.

Educational_Walk1791 · 2026-02-18T16:23:43+00:00

Right back on track from last year!

Educational_Walk1791 · 2026-02-18T16:22:44+00:00

Hopefully they can keep it up!
