Sunday's Regional Final of the 2024 Tallahassee Regional will be played at 6 p.m. at JoAnne Graf Field.

If necessary, Game 7 will begin at 8:30 p.m. or approximately 35 minutes after the conclusion of Game 6. Florida State will play Auburn.

What a badace ride!

Hence an indication of the performance of the Midsummer can be gleaned from a comparison with the 2024 BMW M340i which runs a 369 hp version of the same TwinPower Turbo in-line six engine used by the Midsummer and the Plus Six Morgans.

The Midsummer engine produces 335 hp but the BMW M340i weighs 1,792 kg. Do the math and that gorgeous car takes on a slightly different aura, because it has essentially the same M-Power engine pushing a car that weighs just 56% of the BMW M340i.

With Florida State dropping Saturday’s final game of the Georgia Tech series and Virginia completing a sweep of Virginia Tech Saturday night, the Seminoles have fallen to the No. 5 seed for the ACC Tournament next week in Charlotte.

FSU is in Pool D with No. 4 seed Virginia and No. 9 seed Georgia Tech. It will face GT Tuesday at 3 p.m. and then Virginia Friday at 11 a.m., needing to win both games in order to win the pool and advance to the ACC Semifinals on Saturday.

CARLSBAD, Calif. – Sophomore All-American Lottie Woad is in third place in the individual standings, and the Seminole Women's Golf Team is in 16th place in the team standings after two rounds of the NCAA Division I Championships on the North Course at the Omni La Costa Resort. Woad is just three strokes behind the overall leader as she plays to win the NCAA Individual Championship and the famed Augusta National Women's Amateur in the same season.

The Seminoles are just two strokes outside of the cutline to advance to the fourth round of stroke play after Sunday’s third round. Following Sunday’s play the top 15 teams along with the top nine individuals not on one of the advancing teams will move on to play in Monday‘s fourth round of stroke play. The NCAA individual champion will be crowned following the fourth round of stroke play. The top eight teams after the four rounds of stroke play will begin match play on Tuesday. Those eight teams will play two rounds of match play (quarterfinals and semifinals) on Tuesday with the winners advancing to the match play championship to determine the NCAA team champion on Wednesday.

Texas A&M moved into the lead in the team standings as the Aggies were one of seven teams to play under par golf on Saturday. The Aggies lead second place Stanford by five strokes.

“We didn’t handle the tough conditions today,” said Head Coach Amy Bond. “The wind kicked up, and the course got very tricky this afternoon. We will play in the afternoon tomorrow, and we’ll know what score we need to hit to advance. We are going to wear our Sunday golds for tomorrow and play Florida State golf.”

Florida State begins play in Sunday just two strokes outside of the cutline of 15th place in the team standings. The Seminoles are just 10 strokes out of the top-10 of the team standings.

Woad carded a second round score of 74 and has a two round total of 139. She is just three strokes behind Adela Cornousek of Texas A&M and only two behind Annabella Pancake of Clemson. Woad carded two birdies during Saturday’s afternoon round after tying her own personal record of 65 in Friday’s first round. With 10 birdies in the first two rounds of the championship, she is tied for second among the 161 golfers in the field for birdies made.

“Lottie continues to play great golf,” said Bond. “She was unlucky on her final hole today but will be successful tomorrow.”

Sophomore Katherine Cook was Florida State’s second-lowest scorer during the game with a 3 over par score of 75. She was even par on her back nine with one birdie and eight holes scored at par or better. Cook played her best golf of her second season as a Seminole over her last 11 holes of the round, as she closed her day at even par.

The Seminoles are scheduled to play with Pepperdine and San Jose State beginning at 3 p.m. ET off of hole No. 1.

Anyone seeing them?

@BrainVision I saw UCLA has an "encampment."

With an 8-3 win in hand Thursday night, the Florida State baseball team is set to close out the regular season with a Friday doubleheader.

The No. 10 Seminoles (38-13, 16-11 in ACC) start a doubleheader vs. Georgia Tech (30-20, 14-14) at 2 p.m. at Dick Howser Stadium. FSU needs to win just one of the two games Friday to take the series over the Yellow Jackets.

Game 1 will see FSU turn to junior lefty Carson Dorsey (4-3, 4.28 ERA) against Georgia Tech starter Cam Jones (3-1, 5.04).

Before the game, FSU is honoring its seniors with a Senior Day ceremony at 1:30 p.m.

Washington head coach wore a new shirt that seemed to trigger some folks. Maybe the old logo is coming back. We can hope anyway.

Reporting by Yahoo's Ross Dellenger:

Florida State is petitioning the NCAA to rescind penalties imposed on the school for NIL-related recruiting violations after a court this spring enjoined the association from enforcing its own rules, according to a letter the school sent the NCAA earlier this month.

The three-page letter, obtained by Yahoo Sports, was sent this week to the chair and managing directors of the NCAA Division I Committee on Infractions. The letter outlines reasons for a reconsideration of a subsection of penalties, including an imposed fine, scholarship reductions, recruiting restrictions and a disassociation of a booster.

I have Miami 10-2/7-5. UF 7-5/4-8....FSU 11-1/8-4...I would go with Miami finishing 9-3...UF 6-6. FSU 10-2

Florida State struggled to adjust to the change-up for most of the night. But in the sixth inning, the Seminoles identified it and drove in some much-needed runs.

Devyn Flaherty had a two-out triple to score the game-winning run as FSU rallied to take a 3-2 win over Chattanooga in the Tallahassee Regional on Friday evening.

UNC Trustee Dave Boliek said he wants UNC to join a higher-revenue league.

"I am advocating for that," he said. "That's what we need to do. We need to do everything we can to get there. Or the alternative is the ACC is going to have to reconstruct itself. I think all options are on the table."

"The conference is not acting as if it is representing the best interests of the member schools

CARLSBAD, Calif. – National Player of the Year Finalist Lottie Woad is in first place, and Florida State is in a tie for ninth place in the team standings after the first round of the NCAA Division I Women's Golf Championship on the Champions Course at the Omni La Costa Resort and Spa. Woad carded a career-low and program record tying 65 and leads the individual standings by one stroke over Isabella Rawl of Clemson.

Woad carded a 7 under par score of 65. She tied her personal record for a low score in a single round, tied the school record for a low score in a single round, and set the school record for the low score in a single round in the NCAA Championship Finals. Woad came within one shot of tying the all-time record low score of 64 in the NCAA Championship finals event. The best score in relation to par in NCAA Championship Finals history is a 64 by Megan McChrystal of LSU in 2010.

"We had a good round after getting off to a tough start," said Head Coach Amy Bond. "There were certainly some nerves and some questions about this golf course which is being played for the first time. We hung in there and gritted it out through the hard holes. We were able take advantage of the front nine and make some birdies after starting on the back nine."

Woad was on fire from the start of her round as she began her second appearance in the NCAA Championship. She carded birdies on her first, fourth and ninth holes and made the turn at 3 strokes under par. She birdied five of her nine holes on her back nine to finish her post season masterpiece. She totaled eight birdies and nine more holes scored at par to tie her career best.

Woad was never over par, was as many as seven strokes under par, and closed her round with two birdies on her final three holes. She is now a total of 62 strokes under par for her 19-tournament career as a Seminole. Woad is now six strokes under par in four NCAA Championship rounds.

"I drove the ball well and left myself in pretty much in every fairway," said Woad following the round. "I'm feeling really good. I'm going to keep those lines off the tee for tomorrow."

Senior Alice Hodge also played outstanding golf as she carded an even par 72. Following an uncharacteristic double bogey on her first hole of the round, Hodge closed her final 17 holes at 2 under par. Hodge immediately regrouped after her double, birdied her second hole, and finished her round with three birdies and 13 holes scored at par. She closed her round with two birdies and nine holes scored a par. Her scorecard was clean on her final nine holes – a string of nine consecutive holes scored at par to close the round.

Florida State’s freshmen have needed to be productive. In what has been an up-and-down season for the Seminoles, how the freshmen perform in the postseason spotlight will determine how far the team advances.

While FSU returned a core of veterans in the lineup, freshmen have made a major impact. Jaysoni Beachum leads the team in nearly every major hitting category, Isa Torres is third on the team in hitting while flashing an impressive glove at shortstop, and Ashtyn Danley has often been the team’s most effective pitcher.

Florida State will play host to Chattanooga in the Tallahassee Regional on Friday afternoon. The 4:30 p.m. start has been delayed as Auburn-UCF is running long.

Our softball preview for the regional is on FSU's freshmen, notably Jaysoni Beachum, Isa Torres and Ashtyn Danley, who have helped fuel the Seminoles in 2024.

We'll have notes and updates in the thread below.

An eight-run third inning was more than enough for FSU baseball to crush Georgia Tech 11-3 and clinch the series. The Noles are 39-13 and go for the sweep at 5:55 p.m.

Crazy morning in Louisville. Scheffler arrested on multiple charges heading into the golf course this morning. 2nd degree assault of a police officer, reckless driving, not taking instructions from a police officer.

It is going to be interesting to see if this was the act of an overzealous police officer, a misunderstanding on Scheffler's part because of the chaos (rain, traffic, etc. after another unrelated accident) or a mistake by Scheffler that he shouldn't have made. ESPN's Marty Smith apparently has been hired as part of Scheffler's damage control team in any case.

Two of Florida State's top offensive line prospects, Max Buchanan and Ziyare Addison, have already begun to take official visits. Buchanan visited Ole Miss at the end of April and Addison headed out west to visit UCLA this past weekend. Both prospects indicated that they enjoyed their trips immensely and left impressed by both programs.

Addison said that the visit with the Bruins had indeed change the pecking order of how he ranks the programs he will be taking official visits with. He said the vision and culture that first-year HC Deshaun Foster is creating are what stood out most to him. Addison still has visit to Florida (May 31), Oregon (June 7), Penn State (June 14) and Florida State (June 21).

A couple of things to consider here. It was his first official visit, and he was always going to leave impressed, UCLA has a beautiful campus and some new energy around the program with a new head coach. Secondly, some guys take trips just to take trips even when they know where they are going. I didn't get the sense that was the case with Addison and UCLA. Clearly the fact that the visit has changed his pecking order is indication that UCLA is getting serious consideration from Addison. The newness of the visit will have a lingering effect because he doesn't take another visit for two weeks. But UCLA has set the bar, for now, from an OV perspective with Addison. Still think it will be hard to get him out of the Sunshine State though.

Buchanan had a similar experience at Ole Miss. He said his visit to Oxford was "amazing, loved everything about it" and when asked if it changed his pecking order, he said that it "definitely" had and that while the visit to Ole Miss had not help him rule out any of the other five schools he will visit, it had improved the Rebels stock with him. Buchanan still has visits left with UCF (May 17), Clemson (May 31), FSU (June 7), Miami (June 14) and Penn State (June 21).

I still think FSU is in a really good spot with Buchanan think that the recruiting process has been an eye-opening experience for him, and he is probably more open to leaving the state of Florida than I thought he was two months ago when I thought he was a lock to become a Seminole in December. Again, this was his first OV, and the newness will wear off and he continues to go through the process but for now the Rebels are trending up with Buchanan for now.

FSU seems to be in a holding pattern with wide receiver prospect Naeshaun Montgomery. He told me yesterday that he has not set an official visit date with the Seminoles and that if he does make a trip to Tallahassee that his official visit will likely come during the season in the fall.

Running back prospect Shawn Simeon also indicated that as of right now, if he makes a trip to FSU for an official visit, he will do so during the season.
