Hello WARCHANT!
Can I get a HELL YEAH for these Seminoles, my friends? I guess this is my first post, although I've been a Warchant fan since the early days (6'6 Phenom, Chop-city, Chester Copperpot, regular appearances from Erie...) and have seen this site and this forum go through many changes over the years. I'm excited to finally officially be a part of the family and participate in what, I honestly believe, is the best FSU site out there. Between Gene's integrity and connections to any of the latest/most legit information, to the work of Michael on the recruiting side, the writing staff with Ira and the rest; this is just a great site and I'm glad to be here.
I went to my first game at Doak with my Dad when I was 3 years old, back when it was still mostly erector set. I will always remember sitting on the metal seats and how loud I thought the band was. I was in the Sugar Bowl the night we won our second National Championship, seeing Pete Warrick dazzle us all. I stood in Death Valley when Jameis Winston arrived in spectacular on the national scene, amid all the doubting and questions about his legitimacy as a player of interest on the national stage. I camped out on the last row of The Swamp with my Dad, our backs (literally) against the wall, and watched Chris Rix shove a dagger into the heart of Gator Nation via P.K. Sam. I was raised on Bobby Bowden and lived through the dark times as well, taking my fair share (and fairly shared) lumps for our mostly offensive ineffectiveness in those years. I watched, in awe, with the rest of our Seminole family as Jaboo gave us our storybook ending under California lights. I'm a huge, huge fan and will bleed Garnet and Gold until I die.
Jimbo Fisher is the Truth. This guy is a legendary coach and we're getting him in (at least the beginning of) his prime. I hope we do whatever it takes to keep him, because we owe the vast majority of our success to him, above any other. What he's built here is remarkable on its own, even without considering what he's had to overcome in a personal and professional sense. I wouldn't trade this guy for any coach, college or professional, in America.
Jimbo Fisher IS Florida State.
The looming 2016 season is so exciting, I'm seriously eating up all of these updates. September 5th can't get here soon enough. My favorite thing about football is how almost anything can happen on any given day. That said, I really feel we have a chance to come out and make a huge statement in this game. Obviously, the "experts" are drinking the Kool-Aid with top-5 rankings in both main polls. If Trickett can get this mammoth OL to just run over everyone, Dalvin Cook could just win the 2016 NCAA season by himself. Assuming good health (and winning the coin-flip game against Clemson, of course), this team will be in the playoffs, where it belongs.
I'm so stoked, Seminole Nation. Let's see just how good this team can be. I'm trying to tell you, Florida State bringing that swag back.
GO SEMINOLES!
