Exploding toilet at Dunkin’ in Florida left customer filthy and injured, lawsuit says

100K??? Mental Health ounseling? Exploding toilet at Dunkin’ in Florida left customer filthy and injured, lawsuit says. Paul Kerouac is seeking over $100,000, claiming he suffered “severe and long term injuries” after the explosion of a toilet in the men’s room of a Dunkin’ location in Winter Park. How about a lifetime supply of Dunkin Donuts.

This would be really nasty though.

Oregon State transfer DE Sione Lolohea now expected to visit FSU

Nothing has been confirmed yet, but I believe chances are greater than not that FSU gets a visit from Oregon State transfer DE/Edge Sione Lolohea in the very near future. Of course, he was teammates with new FSU QB DJU who is publicly campaigning for Lolohea to join him in Tallahassee on twitter.

He was second team All-Pac12 in 2023 and 8.5 TFLs among his 47 tackles this past season. Lolohea is 6-3 and 240-pounds.

Tapped out

I’ve been a Nole since I was around 8 years old and my Grandpa got me to watch Osceola spear the field on one of our visits to Chipley from Mississippi when we lived there. That day changed my life I thought forever. I dreamed of playing there, going to school there and everything around it. The latter 2 never happened, but nonetheless the love of all things Noles stayed true to this very day.

I never in a million years thought I could ever stop loving college football as a sport. It is apart of our DNA. College Gameday was like a holiday all in of itself thru the ‘90’s and on. It’s something we all looked forward to. Now it’s all become a money grab and I just can’t stomach it. Nobody has loyalty anymore. It’s who is going to pay me more. Commitment doesn’t mean commited. It means hold my spot until someone bids higher then I’m out.

We all know players have been getting paid for eons so that’s no surprise. It’s how much they are getting paid off the fans backs is what’s bugging me. And then to top it all off it seems to be unappreciated truly. Just look at the portal. The portal and NIL has killed the game we all know and love and I’m just done. What happened this year has killed recruiting for us. The SEC will most definitely use it against us and we all know it. Norvell can no longer sale anything to recruits anymore nor any future coach. I’ve never been so angry about something for so long. I will always love my Noles and will always pull for them, but I will no longer with my wallet. My subscription here ends on the 27th so if I don’t talk to you between now and then it was great chatting with you all over the years. Nole for life but no longer a fool!

Timpson scores 22 points, pulls down nine rebounds in FSU's win at Clemson

FSU sports information:

No. 22 Florida State Women's Basketball was put to the test on Sunday at Clemson, but big offensive possessions in the fourth quarter and key stops on defense allowed the Seminoles to escape with a 78-72 win at Littlejohn Coliseum.

The Seminoles (12-4, 3-1 ACC) trailed 65-64 early in the fourth quarter, but finished the game on a 13-8 run. Junior forward Makayla Timpson had seven huge points down the stretch and finished with 22 points on 10-of-11 shooting along with nine rebounds. Timpson was enormous in FSU's 17-point fourth quarter.

Fifth-year senior guard Sara Bejedi added 19 points and made a career-high five 3-point field goals, adding five rebounds in the win. Sophomore guard Ta'Niya Latson totaled 15 points with five assists.

FSU out-scored the Tigers 15-4 in points off turnovers and had the edge on the glass at 40-39, out-rebounding three of its first four ACC opponents. FSU also had 36 points in the paint.

FSU women's hoops faces Clemson

FSU sports information:

No. 22 Florida State Women’s Basketball (11-4, 2-1) prepares for its 65th meeting with Clemson (8-6, 1-1) on Sunday at 4 p.m. at Littlejohn Coliseum in Clemson, S.C. FSU leads the all-time series 36-28 and has won four of its last five matchups with the Tigers.

Sunday’s game will air on the ACC Network, and can also be heard locally on 96.5 FM and through the Seminole Gameday App.

Sophomore guard Ta’Niya Latson trails only Iowa’s Caitlin Clark among players over the last decade with the most 30-point games through their first 50 games played. Latson has 11 30-point games in her first 45 games played at FSU, a total that puts her ahead of Ohio State legend Kelsey Mitchell (10) and NCAA scoring leader Kelsey Plum (10). Clark had 18 30-point games through 50 games.

Latson’s next 30-point performance will break the FSU all-time record. Latson is currently tied with FSU all-time leading scorer Sue Galkantas (1980-84) for the career lead with 11 30-point games. Galkantas scored 2,323 points in her illustrious career with the Noles.

Two of the ACC’s best in the post face off in FSU junior forward Makayla Timpson and Clemson graduate forward Amari Robinson. Timpson is among the conference’s leaders in blocked shots, double-doubles, field goal percentage and offensive rebounding, while Robinson is the only player in the ACC with six games of 20+ points on 60 percent shooting.

In ACC play, FSU has outscored its three opponents (Georgia Tech, Wake Forest, No. 3 NC State) 129-107 in the second half.

Junior guard O’Mariah Gordon ranks in the top 10 in the ACC in assist/turnover ratio (4th), assists (8th) and 3-point field goals made (10th).

Florida State continues to keep its turnovers low on the offensive end. FSU’s 11.6 turnovers per game are the lowest in the ACC and the ninth-lowest in the country. Of its 15 games played, FSU has committed more turnovers than its opponent in three games.

Offensively, FSU ranks 13th in the country and second in the conference averaging 84.7 points per game.

Both Sara Bejedi and Timpson are set to play in their 80th consecutive games with the Seminoles on Sunday.

Following FSU’s game at Clemson, the Seminoles have two key home games next week. They host North Carolina on Thursday at 6 p.m. in a game where the first 100 students receive a free Fear The Spear T-shirt.

FSU then welcomes No. 13 Virginia Tech to Tallahassee on Sunday, Jan. 14, at 1 p.m. in an ESPN-televised game. The matchup is an FSU Faculty and Staff Appreciation game.

Cinematic Recap: Grab a tissue

These have been very well done all year and this one captures the emotion of what December was for Novell and the team really well. You are looking into the eyes of a young coach who had a decade worth of experience in one season.
Kudos to the Boosters and Athletics for producing these videos for the fans to gain insight. It's one of the nice benefits of membership.
