Florida State hit rock bottom, but no one could have imagined how quickly we would climb out.
Mike Norvell and Jordan Travis led one of the greatest turnarounds in college football history, and the fight continues.
I guess there’s only one thing left to do…
#FSU
In the past month all 4 playoff teams have had 1 score games against really bad football teams.
FSU has played 2 games without Jordan Travis and they won them both by 2 scores.
The narrative that Florida State had “no chance” in the playoff is absolutely fucking insane.
Jordan Travis pulled FSU out of the depths of hell and made them a title contender again.
We’re all forever indebted to him. Such a great dude. Hate that it’s ending this way. Let’s remember the good times.
Thank you, 13 ❤️💛
We can argue about the playoff in the morning. Right now I’m going to enjoy every single second of 13-0.
The revival of the Florida State program has been so fucking fun to be a part of.
Florida State played the committees 14th ranked team last night and held their top 20 offense to 6 points and 2 yards per play in a 10 point victory.
Apparently no one saw it so here are the highlights…
The Florida Gators wouldn’t let Jameis Winston play baseball.
Instead they signed Skyler Mornhinweg in 2012. Mornhinweg would eventually transfer after a disappointing 4-8 in 2013.
For context, Jameis won the Heisman and a Natty in 2013 with Florida State.
Mike Norvell gave this speech after an 0-4 start in 2021. He was 3-10 at FSU.
Since this moment he’s gone 15-6 and will have the Noles ranked inside the top 5 to start his 4th season.
He has NEVER changed the message and it’s working. This is just the beginning.

It’s FSU vs. The World once again, and I know who I’m riding with.
Crank that Seminole Uprising and let’s watch the world burn.
Noles by 50.

25 years ago today Florida State started their backup quarterback against the Florida Gators.
Peter Warrick stepped up and gave us 2 of the greatest highlights in FSU history and led us to victory.
Who will the hero be this Saturday night?
#FSU
#FSUplays
If you ever doubted how talented the 2013 Florida State Seminoles were, consider this…
They went 14-0 with Jimbo Fisher as the head coach. That’s fucking incredible.
I’m about 2 drives and 3 beers away from convincing myself that Tate Rodemaker is greatest QB in America and the secret ingredient to a national title.
A few of my favorite play designs from Mike and the boys so far this year 🔥

Chris Weinke finds Snoop Minnis for a 98 yard TD in Florida State’s 54-7 beat down of the Clemson Tigers in 2000.
No one sold a play action better than Chris Weinke.

“SO WE WERE 13-0 UNDEFEATED CONFERENCE CHAMPS BUT ESPN KNEW SABAN WAS RETIRING SO THEY LET HIM IN THE PLAYOFF INSTEAD, IT WAS AN UNPRECEDENTED DECISION, THEY SAID OUR QUARTERBACK PLAY WASN’T GOOD ENOUGH IN THE ACC CHAMPIONSHIP GAME BUT BROCK WOULDN’T HAVE EVEN STARTED THE PLAYOFF…
“What’s there even to debate?” about the most unprecedented decision in recent college football history is such a wild take.
Also,
@KirkHerbstreit
why are you so singularly focused on that one point listed in the criteria? That one outweighs all the others?
9 straight weeks in the Top 5 for FSU, which is a lot.
For reference, the Miami Hurricanes have only spent 2 weeks ranked inside the Top 5 in the last 19 years, which is very few.
This is an all time great FSU highlight. The play is visually beautiful, Sean McDonough with a great call.
We’ll be watching this play for decades.

The “SEC” chant at the Rose Bowl makes me want to vomit.
Conference pride to that extent will always be so bizarre to me. In no other sport does that exist.
Miami gave Florida State a four quarter game on Saturday and they did it while trusting true freshmen at key positions.
Six UM freshmen totaled over 300 snaps to FSU's 15. The gap on the field is closing and UM proved it while investing in young players.
FSU has won their last 12 games. Florida State has not lost a football game since October 15th, 2022.
Records in that time frame:
FSU: 12-0
Clemson: 8-5
Florida: 7-6
Miami: 6-6
Fun time to be a Florida State Seminole.

Dalvin Cook’s stats against the state of Florida were absolutely INSANE.
Cook vs. Miami, USF and Florida:
1728 Total Yards
216 Yards Per Game
14 Touchdowns
8 Wins
0 Losses
Best running back in the history of the state, no discussion.

Odell Haggins with a pick 6 against the Florida Gators in 1988.
Look at that man celebrate and try telling me that there is a single person on the planet who loves being a Florida State Seminole more than him.
Also, Lee Corso on the call.

Remember when Kermit Whitfield return a kick 100 yards for a touchdown with less than 5 minutes to play in the National Championship Game? That was cool.

Mike Norvell went 13-1 and then immediately got back to work to sustain that success.
Billy and Mario went 12-13 and are just hanging out waiting to get fired.
Never forget who runs this state.
Now watch their delusional fans come flood my comments ⬇️
This is a great article. I’ve got no problem with the opt outs. Zero ill will towards any of them.
Imagine working your ass off at your job all year trying to hit your numbers to get a big year end bonus. You hit every single goal, then at the end of the year your boss tells…
Florida State will be without as many as 20 players against UGA.
At this rate, poor Mike Norvell sounds like the Black Night from Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
The Orange Bowl has devolved into a joke exhibition game, but don't blame FSU for that:
Pokey Wilson came to FSU in 2017, under Jimbo. Part of a 23 man class. He was the last left by 2022.
He was part of the nasty end of Jimbo, the Taggart saga, COVID season, Jacksonville State, legendary LSU game, leader on a 10 win team.
Pokey meant a lot to this turnaround!
FSU didn’t “need” to go get Keon Coleman this offseason. The offense was already loaded.
But Keon was the best player available so Mike Norvell went out and got him because Mike isn’t playing for second place.
College Football is a cut throat business these days, and Mikes…
I still can’t believe this was an actual flag. One of the worst I have ever witnessed.
Props to Mike for losing his shit over this. Also credit to
@cbfowler
and
@KirkHerbstreit
for acknowledging how awful that call was.
ACC officials are just completely incompetent across the…
2 year ago we went 5-7, lost the
#1
player in the country on signing day and were the biggest joke in all of football.
We’re 23-3 since that moment and will sign a top 10 class tomorrow regardless of what happens.
I need all of you to fucking relax.
A Ron Dugans appreciation post seem appropriate today…
Born and raised in Tallahassee.
1999 National Champion.
Returned to FSU in 2019 as the WR Coach and has flipped that unit from one of the worst in America to one of the best.
Seminole Legend.

Peter Warrick hits Ron Dugans for a 46 yard touchdown to shut the door on the Florida Gators and send the Florida State Seminoles to the first ever BCS National Championship Game. Loudest I’ve ever heard Doak Campbell Stadium!

It’s officially Miami Hate Week. Let’s begin.

Your daily dose of ESPN belittling FSU.
Should be noted that Florida State has out preformed Texas in every single statistical category over the last 40 years.
One of the greatest goal line stands you’ll ever see. Florida State stuffs 7 straight runs from Kansas to preserve the 42-0 shutout to open the 1993 season.
Just incredible how hard these guys played for Mickey Andrews.

Cam Akers averaging over 1000 yards per season for 3 straight years behind some of the worst offensive lines in Florida State history was so insanely impressive.
As talented a running back as FSU has ever had.

Jordan Travis with a beautiful ball to Pokey Wilson for a 56 yard TD against Miami’s terrible secondary in 2022. The Seminoles would go on to win the game 45-3.
#FSU

They went from 5-7, to 10-3, to 13-0.
They faced every form of adversity imaginable, and overcame it every time.
They won every single football game.
I will forever love the 2023 Florida State Seminoles. Absolutely heartbroken.

Here’s Jameis Winston leading an 80 yard TD drive with 1:11 left in the game to complete an 18 point comeback and win a National Championship.
If you think Baker Mayfield was a better QB than him, you are incorrect. GO VOTE!

Jordan Travis was pretty average for like 40 minutes tonight
Then he flipped a switch and this offense was unstoppable.
He isn’t perfect and no team in college football is. But when we turn it on, there is no better team in college football.
The Florida State Seminoles are…
Kelvin Benjamin just abused the Florida Gators in 2013. 212 yards and 3 TD’s to help cap off of a perfect 12-0 regular season for FSU.
When KB flipped the switch there wasn’t really much you could do about it.

Brady Quinn went 20-52 for 175 yards and threw 3 interceptions in his only game against Florida State.
FSU won 37-0, the worst home loss in Notre Dame history and their first time being shutout in 25 years.
Guess he’s still not over it.

In the 2013 regular season Florida State’s opponents scored 132 points. Roberto Aguayo scored 138…
Dead center every single time. What an unbelievable season.
