Ranting on a message board may make us feel better, but it ain't helping to solve the problem. Blaming the coaches, administration, players, former coaches, and ex-wives of former coaches may be good for chatter on a message board, but it ain't helping to solve the problem. Turning your back on the program may help your blood pressure, but it ain't helping to solve the problem. As fans of FSU, there are things we can do to help solve the problem.
The administration has a difficult job ahead with handling the finances of a faltering program. The coaches have a difficult job to figure out how to turn around morale, win games and recruit. The players have their job and position to focus on. We as fans have a job as well.
We need to support FSU, now more than ever. If you care about FSU football, which I assume you do otherwise you wouldn't be here, you need to support the team. Go to the games, if you can. Contribute to the Boosters, if you can. Increase your Booster membership, if you can. Donate to the FOF, if you can. Show the young men that chose to be here and dedicate themselves to FSU how much you support them.
Trust me, I have yelled and screamed and ranted and broken things because of FSU football. Not that this matters, but I graduated from FSU, my wife graduated from FSU, our first kid graduated from FSU and our second kid is a junior there right now. My point is, I have no choice but to support FSU. I take these losses personally, as I'm sure all of you do as well. It has ruined a lot of my Saturdays/weekends. I hate having friends ask me, 'hey, what's going on with FSU?' It's mainly why I come back to this message board...to commiserate with like-minded people.
We now need to dust ourselves off and get back up. Let's focus on our job and let the others (admin, coaches, players) focus on their job. Ask yourself these questions. What have I done lately to help solve the problem? How can I support FSU football? Is there anything else I could be doing?
Until my last dying breath...GO NOLES!!!
