Thaddeus Lewis of Duke over Christian Ponder is an absolute JOKE!
Only one Offensive Lineman from FSU is a JOKE!
I am happy for Watson and Robinson but no defensive player from FSU deserved to be all conference. Sorry but its true.

CJ Spiller 2nd team RB is a joke. He is the best player in the ACC this year. You have got to be kidding me.

How BRAIN DEAD do you have to be to have one ALL ACC Offensive player from the top ACC Offense and two ALL ACC Defensive players from the worst defense in the conference.

No wounder the ACC isn't up to par with the SEC. The ACC has a bunch of BUFFOONS in it.

Bowden Update!

Update:

Legendary Florida State Football Coach Bobby Bowden will announce retirement tomorrow with a press release not a press conference.

Jimbo Fisher will be announced the new Head Coach later in the week. He is wrapping up some recruiting.

This should be the end of almost the entire Defensive coaching staff as well. I expect that Odell Hagans may be the only one left.

Old News

Bowden met with University President T.K Wetherell and Athletic Director Randy Spetman today. From the sounds of it he was given two choices:


1. Retire
2. Stay on at Florida State as an Ambassador to the University.

Both do not have him as the Head Coach at FSU.

There will be a press conference tomorrow which should officially end the Bowden Era at FSU.

From all indications this has been in the work since the loss to USF.

Some Junior College Help

Just updating some recruiting news. I am not sure when this occurred but previous commitment DT Anthony McCloud 6'3" 295lbs and RB Debrale Smiley 6'0" 235lbs will join the Seminoles in January. Help at the DL is a must and a true fullback will be nice.

The Bowden Saga!

Should he stay or should he go? I have the up most respect for Coach Bowden but mediocrity is unacceptable at any level of business and college football is a business first and foremost. If you want business to pick up you must win.

Change must happen NOW!

Inexcusable reasons:

1. Losing to USF
2. Losing 6 straight years to Florida
3. Doak is a Joke. The vaunted Home field is pathetic
4. Poor Attendance. Your customers have had enough
5. Not aware of the situation anymore

The FSU Forever End of Year Awards

The 2009 regular season is one most Seminole fans would like to forget, but there are some fine young men who despite a lackluster year have performed at a high level. I would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge these fine young men.

The "Peter Warrick" Award goes to the best freshman of the Year. This player had to quickly adjust to college life and excel on the field. I am proud to announce that the "Peter Warrick" Award goes to:

Greg Reid

The "Derrick Brooks" Award goes to the best sophomore of the year. This player truly stepped up his game this year and became a solid foundation and consistent weapon all year. I am proud to announce that the "Derrick Brooks" Award goes to:

Bert Reed

The "Marvin Jones" Award goes to the teams best Junior. This player is as tough as they come at any position and vastly improved his skills this year. It is an honor to announce that this years winner of the "Marvin Jones" Award is:

Christian Ponder

The "Warrick Dunn" Award goes to the best Senior. This player lead by example all year and continued to make big plays. I am proud to announce that this years winner of the "Warrick Dunn" Award is:

Rod "Old School" Owens

The "Sebastian Janikowski" Award goes to the best Special Teams player of the year. This player was electric and whenever he touched the ball good things happened. I am honored in announcing that this years winner of the "Sebastian Janikowski" Award is:

Greg Reid

The "Bobby Bowden" Award goes to the best coach of the year. A very difficult choice but this coach turned a unit around that had been consistently in trouble and made them one of the major strengths of the team. It is a privilege to give this years "Bobby Bowden" Award to:

Coach Lawrence Dawsey

The "Puntrooskie" Award goes to the Play of the Year. This years play of the year came when the Noles needed it most. Down to North Carolina in the second half Safety Jamie Robinson intercepted North Carolina at the 2 yard line the rest is Seminoles History. The "Puntrooskie" Award goes to

Christian Ponder and Rod Owens for the 98 Yard Touchdown that followed Mr. Robinson's interception at North Carolina.

The "Mickey Andrews" Award goes to the Best Defensive player on the Team. While the defense was not spectacular this year this player started to come into his own and play consistently. He is certainly far from his potential but he truly deserves this award. Without further delay I am proud to announce that this years winner of the "Mickey Andrews' Award is:

Nigel Bradham

The "Chris Weinke" Award goes to the Best Offensive player on the team. This player stepped up his game this year and became a semifinalist for the "Maxwell Award" and will be in consideration for the "Heisman Award" starting next year. This Years "Chris Weinke" Award goes to:

Christian Ponder

The "Charlie Ward" Award goes to the most valuable player of the year. Without the true will to win and desire to compete this team would not have made it to another Bowl Game and keep the nations longest bowl streak alive. He set the tone for the entire team and the entire team's character showed in grit and determination. The "Charlie Ward" Award goes to:

Christian Ponder

The last award for the year is the "Deion Sanders" Award for the absolute Best Player on the team. This is different than a MVP. This is for the best football player on the team period. This player is recognized by his peers and works harder to get better everyday. He is determined to be the very best and plays clean but mean. A true Seminole in every sense of the word. This player never takes a play off and wants to punish his opponent every play. It is a true honor in presenting the "Deion Sanders" Award to:

Rodney Hudson

Regular Season is Over!

The regular season ended as it has the past five seasons, another loss to the Gators. 2009 will go down as one of the worst if not the worst in the Bowden era.

The Good: The Offense has come back and looked like a conference Champion and National Championship caliber unit. The Offensive line is as good as any in College Football and there are many quality skill players that can make plays.

The Bad: Once again the Seminoles will not have a 1000 yard rusher this year. The roving running back doghouse left questions all year long to the consistency at that position.

The Ugly: By far the worst containment and tackling defense that I have ever witnessed at FSU. Running backs kept breaking tackles when Noles would hit them in the back field and corners were just awful with open field tackles. Linebackers loved to stay blocked and not fill the gaps, and Safeties liked picking their nose while receivers continually gashed FSU with 60 yard pass plays.

FSU @ UF Prediction

I think FSU will surprise the nation a little on Saturday. Florida is favored by 21 points but I don't think they will cover the spread but I do think Florida wins in Tebow's last game at the "Swamp". I will be there live and in person to see a hard working, never say die Seminole team play with pride and determination.
