On September 15, 1973 I attended my first FSU football game as I had just gotten out of the USMC and enrolled as a student at FSU. I drove to Wake Forest to watch FSU lose 9 - 7 ( Wake's only win that season 1-9-1) FSU went on to lose every game in the mists of the 0 - 20 losing streak compliments of Larry Jones and Daryl Mudra.
Twenty seasons later I began my current streak of not missing games at home, on the road, bowl game and Covid (yes I made every game last year ) of 350 games at Wake Forest this Saturday. That is 10,171 consecutive days not missing an FSU game,
When I say the Jax State game is not the worst loss I have ever seen because Larry Jones's teams were like the 1962 Mets who could get thrown out from right field to first base. President Kennedy said there would be a man on the moon before the Mets won the World Series and that came true on July 20, 1969 Neil Armstrong walked on the moon and on October 16, 1969 the Mets beat Baltimore to win the World Series.
I will continue to support and cheer on FSU as long as we are the Seminoles. We may be down, we may be hurting, we may be frustrated, but as Annie would say, "The sun will come up tomorrow..." and it will. It did for us under a young Alabama guy by the name Robert Clecker Bowden who turned around the fortunes of FSU. Now I don't know if Mike Norvell will or won't but to get there we have to at least start the turn around with him.
So please if you can make the trip to Winston Salem, N.C. or if your in North Carolina please make the short drive and join me and other faithful FSU fans and lets do our part supporting this team now, and here's to seeing a win 48 years after my first FSU game.
Go Noles and my God Bless us all!!!
