As first reported by FBSchedules and confirmed to the Osceola, FSU will host Kent State during its 2025 season, giving the Seminoles just one more spot on the schedule to fill.

Any insight to the reports that the project has terminated the contract with the original GC @JerryKutz ?

Florida defensive tackle Chris McClellan jumped in the transfer portal on Thursday morning and quickly picked up offers from Florida State, among a number of Power 5 schools.

I’m guessing things cooled off or he was interested. However, he was committed to Gophers. I was really big on his size and style of play with sideline to sideline motor he reminded me of Blake Nic. Can’t recall his name?

Invite FSU and Clemson....that would blow pass ESPN/ABC/SEC.......imagine Fox Sports (Game Day) with NBC/Notre Dame with FSU/Clemson WOW! Jump the ACC NOW and let the legal battle begin BUT FSU has to get out, period!

John Pak is currently qualifying for his next season. Through his place on the PGA Tour Canada, he has some status on the Korn Ferry tour in 2024. He just made it through the 2nd Stage qualifying tournament.

The Finals for Q-School will be played Dec 14-17.

Here are a couple of links:

He claims some sort of exit announcement Thursday?

Regarding the Committee, we all know there are political camps. IF this was true, and the ACC knew we were leaving, they would say F FSU - just like Paul Finebaum said they would.

I also heard there was a large group of ACC teams not including FSU speaking with the Big 12 the day after the snub. That would explain that meeting too.

If College football is about who gets the higest ratings...FSU vs. Michigan would have gotten just as good of ratings. They need to look at what FSU vs. LSU did. I guess basketball should just have Kentucky, Duke, UNC and Kansas in the final four automatically every year.

The TQBC welcomed Joe Tessatore and Jimbo Fisher and the audience has been very receptive.

I’ll feed you content as night progresses.

Corey Fuller, “We’re hurting but the foundation is very solid. He honored what Bowden did and what Fisher acopmplished in winning a championship.”

He mentioned need to rally troops for Miami.

FSU needs to leave ACC
^^In the Tally Democrat

Former Florida State President John Thrasher believes the Seminoles’ exclusion shows the school needs to leave the Atlantic Coast Conference.

Thrasher also believes the CFP committee caved in to pressure from ESPN and the Southeastern Conference when it announced its four playoff teams Sunday.

Florida State redshirt junior Johnny Wilson has accepted an invitation to play in the Senior Bowl, the game's official Twitter announced in a post on Monday night.

Wilson has not formally declared for the draft, although this clearly signals his intentions. It's also not immediately known if Wilson intends to play in the Orange Bowl against Georgia on Dec. 30.

She had a 6 minute+ rant yesterday on college sports on Sirus/XM that probably made Kanell cry tears of happiness and made him proud. She was spot on and recommend all to listen to if available somewhere.

Even RGIII spoke harsh words to the committee how leaving the players and coaches out of playoffs is a travesty

If you can't beat em, join em, right? Curious if current events have changed opinions. Assuming there's no GOR and we could freely choose, which conference is your preference?

FSU WR Johnny Wilson is declaring for the NFL Draft and will opt out of the Orange Bowl after recording over 1,500 receiving yards the last two seasons for the Seminoles.

Where we are outbid for top tier talent like a Patrick Payton or a KJ Bolden, and have to out coach/out scheme/need some luck to be a regular playoff contender?

let's hope he follows through!!

FSU sports information:

No. 20 Florida State Women’s Basketball (6-2) battles Jacksonville (3-4) in an Education Game held at 11 a.m. on Thursday at the Tucker Center.

Several elementary and middle schools will be in attendance as the Seminoles hold their third Education Game since 2018. FSU last hosted several area elementary school kids at the Tuck in a 113-50 win over Bethune-Cookman on Nov. 7, 2022.

Balanced scoring highlighted Florida State’s win last Sunday vs. Kent State, getting five players back in double figures. Sophomore Ta’Niya Latson led FSU with 15 points - the third time she has led FSU in the points column this season.

Despite being a high-octane offense, the Seminoles have gotten downright defensive. FSU ranks 13th nationally with a 28.3 percent field goal percentage defense. In three of their past five games played, the Seminoles have held the opposition to under 30 percent shooting, including 24.7 percent last game against Kent State.

FSU is 51-10 over its last 61 games played against schools from the state of Florida. The Seminoles own a 79-75 road win at rival Florida on Nov. 17 - a game where Latson scored a career-high 35 points including a 17-point fourth-quarter explosion.

The Seminoles are averaging 16.1 points per game off turnovers, out-scoring their opponents in six of eight games this year. FSU out-scored Kent State, 21-6, last game in the category.

Junior forward Makayla Timpson is off to an All-America level start, ranking fifth in the country with 26 total blocks. She has at least three blocked shots in seven of FSU’s eight games played, and is averaging 3.3 blocks per game.

FSU continues to finish strong against the opposition, averaging nearly 23 points per game in the fourth quarter (22.5) and out-scoring opponents collectively 180-125. FSU is shooting 36-of-71 (50.7 percent) over its last four games in the fourth quarter.

Junior guard O’Mariah Gordon has three games this season playing 30 or more minutes and not recording a turnover.

Following Thursday’s morning matchup, FSU faces No. 2 UCLA in a nationally-televised game on ESPN2 on Sunday at noon. It is part of the Basketball Hall of Fame Women’s Showcase, which FSU is playing in for the second straight season.

For the fourth consecutive season, Florida State women's soccer has a MAC Hermann Finalist - college soccer's most prestigious award - as Onyi Echegini was named a finalist for the award on Wednesday afternoon. Echegini was one of three finalists joining Eleanor Dale (Nebraska) and Brecken Mozingo (BYU). The winner will be announced in St. Louis, Mo., at the Missouri Athletic Club on Jan. 5.

The ACC Offensive Player of the Year put together one of the best seasons in FSU history as she helped lead the program to its fourth National Championship and its first undefeated season. Echegini scored 16 goals in 23 games this season which is tied for the eighth-most in school history and is the most goals scored by a Seminole since Deyna Castellanos in 2017. Echegini's 16 goals led the ACC and her 37 points were tied with teammate Jordynn Dudley for the most in the conference and were also top 10 marks in the NCAA. Echegini scored three goals and tallied two assists in six games in the NCAA Tournament.

Echegini will be looking to secure FSU's fourth MAC Hermann Trophy as Jaelin Howell won the award in back-to-back years in 2020 and 2021 and Mami Yamauchi in 2007.
