If I remember correctly, Toafili saved our butt in the ACC title game last year out of the wildcat. With immobile DJU why hasn’t Norvell run the cat this year with Toafili or Cam Davis. Our formations and play calling are bland, boring and predictable.

Let's note who was disappointing on defense. Darrell Jackson, Joshua Farmer, Patrick Payton, DJ Lundy, Shyheim Brown. Oh look, it's a list of all the guys who extorted us for more NIL money this off-season. What a surprise! Defense played like they just got paid up front and mailed it in. I think we have a serious culture problem with this roster, specifically on defense. They play for money. Once they got their money, what else do they have to play for? GT looked hungry, like they were playing to win the football game. We looked lazy. We need to completely overhaul our recruiting and NIL process. Something is very wrong here. I sense a culture of greed and entitlement. There was no firey leadership like we had last year with Verse, Bethune, etc. No leaders on this defense.

since Danny White was the starting QB. I went through the late Tom Landry years which were very learn 3-13 in his final season. I was beyond happy when Jerry was hired and he brought Jimmy in from Miami. I was beyond happy when Troy was drafted 1st overall. I enjoyed the three super bowls in the 90's. Jerry did the one thing I said enough to today...He gave Dak 60 milllion per year. I am sorry but Dak is never winning a Super Bowl. I am done...Who should I cheer from. I am done being a Cowboy fan as long as Jerry Jones in the owner of the Cowboys. Who you got.

I spoke with Linton last night about the offer and where the Seminoles sit with him.

Won’t mention his name without his permission but he was a DB in the early 80’s. (Pretty good golfer, too)

He told me FSU does not have a talent problem but they have a chemistry problem.

Take it for what it’s worth but I thought his take was interesting.

FSU has released its participation report ahead of today’s game vs. Memphis.

The good news? Hykeem Williams is set to make his season debut today.

The bad news? Veteran DB Shyheim Brown will miss today’s game.

Construction crews worked day and night on Doak Campbell Stadium ahead of the football team’s opener last week. There’s also a crane and work crews nearby as the early stages of the football operations building are taking shape.

With all of the activity and more than $400 million being spent on the two football projects, as well as requests from all of the coaches on Florida State’s campus, why would the athletics department launch another sport? The Seminoles will add women’s lacrosse, which is set to play in the spring of 2026, and have already hired coach Sara Tisdale.

The answer is Title IX, a law that requires universities that receive federal dollars to make strides in its offerings of women’s athletics and expand the number of scholarships or opportunities for women to compete in athletics.

“We did a comprehensive Title IX review of where we were when I became athletic director, working with (FSU general counsel) Carolyn Egan,” FSU athletics director Michael Alford told the Osceola. “And just looking at what our numbers were, what our facilities are, the opportunities we provide our student-athletes, so it was a comprehensive Title IX review. After that review, it was obvious we needed to add a sport because we want to always make sure we’re in compliance with Title IX.”

It’s not there. No particular player to blame. It’s just not clicking.

Why isn't this an obvious wrinkle in this offense...dude has a rocket arm

Keon Coleman had one of the best days on week 1 of any FSU players in the NFL, hauling in four receptions (on five targets) for 51 yards in Buffalo's week 1 win over Arizona:

Kind of poetic that now Memphis is coming to town to push our in. This is the worst three game stretch of my life(when you throw the playoff committee in the mix). Just pathetic and I don’t think it’s too early to start playing for the future, if there is any on this roster.

The latest on a lot of big names:
