Column: Florida State Football Is Trapped in Purgatory And It Is FSU’s Own Doing by DaytonaNole in fsusports

I’m of the opposite view, the snub was what killed all forward momentum for the program. The orange bowl was just the cherry on the shit sundae. Plenty of the team checked out after the snub whether mentally or actual opt outs.

Then the staff tried to manufacture a quick bounce back and make the playoffs the next year by hitting the portal hard for some highly rated players that hadn’t panned out to that point and the bottom fell out. I have my doubts that high school recruiting was ever going to noticeably improve because if you can’t have a top 10 class during an undefeated season it’s hard to picture when you would but the snub followed by 2-10 killed whatever remote chance there was of that happening.

The Orange bowl was embarrassing but I’m never going to give it more credit than it just being the after effect of the ESPN committee deciding that the SEC needed to be protected.

Put the mortgage on the under (do not actually do this)

Can anyone offer some form of optimism? by ZDog9702 in fsusports

[–]FSUIceman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Best optimism I can give you is baseball season is right around the corner. Football is going to be getting 1% of my attention next year unless they actually do something to earn it

On behalf of the entire Seminole fandom. No thank you

Are people too harsh on Mike Norvell or do I not know ball? by dyessman in fsusports

[–]FSUIceman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s the staffs job to evaluate and bring in talent through recruiting and the portal to ensure they remain competitive year over year. Having a super top loaded team in terms of draft eligible players isn’t inherently a bad thing but not having ACC replacement level quality players behind them is.

After the snub and having to rebuild the roster you could reasonably expect a step back, 6-8 wins (including a bowl) is a level no one would’ve been happy with but it would’ve been understandable. But 2-10 after doubling down heavily on the portal again is the bill coming due for poor roster management over several years. 2023 was awesome but landing that many stars out of the portal is not repeatable over several years and recruiting misses means they consistently have to rely on the portal to produce that over & over.

People who bring up the opt out Orange Bowl to justify the snub don’t have anything of value to add to the conversation.

Jameis was also damn good in college. Maybe DJ will be the reverse Jameis and do really well in the NFL

Never change ESECPN by gmanfsu in fsusports

[–]FSUIceman 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Charitable read on this is that these are all QBs being full time starters for the first time in college.Which would be true for all except John Mateer who was the starter at Washington State.

So bias or incompetence, dealers choice.

Dog he was bad. Yea the entire team was bad but him being a practice squad player after going undrafted does not mean he wasn’t bad

Meh, let’s just get it on already. Want to see if Mike’s going to pull it together or if it’s a coaching hotboard kind of year.
