Last week proved I could be just as wrong with my gut instincts as I've been with more detailed analysis. So I shall take the path of least resistance this week on my march to documented idiocy...

I know that FSU has been struggling, but saying that you may never pick them in their series with Miami again may be the stupidest thing you ever said concerning football. You must not follow FSU that closely. They are going to get a lot better much sooner than you think.
Oh I don't know, I only graduated from FSU in 1995 and am quite familiar with the current state of the program.
Saying I'll never pick FSU against Miami again is merely using history as evidence. And it's also tongue-in-cheek. Chill, my fellow Nole.
The youngest offensive line in the country isn't that bad and they are only going to get better. Our defense is nothing to be ashamed of. We have a couple of young 1st & 2nd stringer quarterbacks who, with Jimbo's help, get a lot better. Not to mention E.J. Manuel right behind them.If our recievers can just learn how to catch a little better, then we have the making of a very good team ( possibly a great team in a couple more years.
p.s. I know your a FSU alumni and you keep up with the program, but I don't think that you realize how close we are.
