Sorry about your luck. I love the old ragtop Goats.

My post listing the FSU -UF series results from that time period were in direct RESPONSE to this false statement that you made. Nothing more, nothing less. But, feel free to keep changing the subject as it suits you. I'm done with you.

Unlike you, I can acknowledge another teams' accomplishments and am capable of complimenting other teams, even our rivals. UF is having a fine run right now. How come some of you gators feel the need to disrespect everyone else in order to support your team? I suspect the mouthy ones are probably the young bucks, and that's cool. Age will provide you with perspective. I know it did for me...

1987 - FSU 28, UF 14
1988 - FSU 52, UF 17
1989 - FSU 24, UF 17
1990 - FSU 45, UF 30
1991 - UF 14, FSU 9
1992 - FSU 45, UF 20
1993 - FSU 33, UF 21
1994 - FSU 31, UF 31
1995 - UF 35, FSU 24
1996 - FSU 24, UF 21
1996 - UF 52, FSU 20
1997 - UF 32, FSU 29
1998 - FSU 23, UF 12
1999 - FSU 30, UF 23
2000 - FSU 30, UF 7

15 games, 4 UF wins, and only one by more than 11 points. When, exactly was this "routine" interruption of getting the crap beaten out of us by UF? Take a long look at this my friend, UF was little more than a speed bump for FSU for 15 years. You might want to check your facts before saying something THAT stupid again.

Wrong. FSU joined the ACC instead of the SEC for one reason, and one reason only. Joining the ACC instantly gave credibility to our basketball program, which needed it.

Joining the SEC would have done nothing for our hoops program, and we certainly didn't need the SEC to raise the profile of our football team. Competition? We were already beating their best team on a regular basis. The SEC needed FSU far more than FSU needed the SEC.

My advice was sound, your "Stripes" quote notwithstanding.
Posted Wednesday November 25, 2009, About: Why Bowden won't be head coach in 2011
Why, yes I do. That followed our regular season beating of then #1 UF. So, even little stevie's finest hour was tainted by the fact that he split with his biggest rival. Couldn't quite win 'em all...sad.

Nice post. Good points and no venom. Kudos.

You may not be aware of this, but the powers that be have stopped asking fans for their opinions when trying to determine who should be National Champs. In keeping with this policy, we've decided to keep our '93 Title.

BTW, we beat Nebraska for that title. I'm SURE gator fans remember how hard it was to beat the Huskers in the 90's...DON'T YOU?!

If this is true, then you're a bigger idiot than I thought. If you were a UF fan back then, then you of all people should respect what Coach Bowden has done. UF's run of dominance lately is now almost HALF as long as ours was. So, if Urban stays at UF, AND wins 10 games a year for the next 7 years or so, AND learns how not to be a arrogant ass, THEN he can be in the same discussion as Coach Bowden and some of the true legends of the game.

In 7 or 8 years, you MIGHT have something to talk to me about. Right now? You should just shut up and enjoy your time in the sun. All that arrogance will be hard to swallow when UF loses, whether it's to us or someone else...

Amazing how many fans UF has picked up in the last two years. I wonder who you were rooting for in the 90's when The Doak was a House of Horrors for UF and little stevie.

You want me to be impressed? Let's see Urban go to a school with a losing tradition in football and build them into the most feared team in the land, which FSU was for more than a decade. Let's see Urban continue to win, at the SAME SCHOOL, for more than 5 years. Let's see Urban show some loyalty and stick around after his team stops being ranked in the Top 5, or when the NFL comes calling, as Coach Bowden has. Let's see Urban show some respect and humility, as Coach Bowden ALWAYS has.

Regardless of the National Titles, Urban Meyer has a LONG way to go before he's in the same league as Bobby Bowden.

Can't lose if you've got The Man in Black on your side, but shouldn't you guys be overlooking us and concentrating on the SECCG? Please?
Posted Wednesday November 25, 2009, About: Why Bowden won't be head coach in 2011
OK. I've got your opinion of OUR coach. Now I'm ready to have some fun. What team do YOU root for?

(Note: If your team's coach doesn't have a resume to match Coach Bowden's, this will be a lot less fun for you than it will be for me.)

Don't know how I missed it, but that is some funny sheet, svt.

While Jackson is in the foreground asking, "What's in YOUR wallet?", in the background they need to have a few people sitting in a car with three guys in Creamsicle-Orange ski masks firing BB guns at the car while screaming "Gimme everything you got!"

Lol. Nice.

Be careful, G-i-e, he might bust out the "I'm rubber and you're glue" argument next.

I don't know why, but to me, he looks like Jackie Gleason from Smokey and the Bandit in that pic. I like the pic, he has that "I'm the HNIC" look.

33 years in a row without a losing season...28 consecutive bowl appearances...National Championships...ACC Championships...Heisman winners...etc., etc.

Salary: JUSTIFIED.
Posted Wednesday November 25, 2009, About: Miami: Less Gators, more Bulls
Money, or the desire for more of it, ruins everything.
Posted Wednesday November 25, 2009, About: Miami: Less Gators, more Bulls
My interest is in football. I'll leave the revenue questions to the bean counters.
Posted Wednesday November 25, 2009, About: Why Bowden won't be head coach in 2011
There really IS no issue here. Bobby Bowden will coach the Seminoles for one final season, 2010. After next season, Jimbo takes over. This is what Coach Bowden has been asking for, and it IS what's going to happen. Bank it. Nobody will tell him he can't coach next year, and he will not hold FSU hostage and force them to fire him or pay Jimbo the buyout.

This is all very simple, but I guess sports writers have to justify their salaries somehow.
Posted Wednesday November 25, 2009, About: Miami: Less Gators, more Bulls
Interesting that nobody has yet commented on the fact that Florida State somehow manages to play Florida AND Miami, EVERY YEAR...and we have done so since well before Miami was in our conference. If our AD had adopted the same policy as UF's AD has, I wonder how many more National Titles FSU might have today...
Posted Wednesday November 25, 2009, About: Why Bowden won't be head coach in 2011
Why, yes, we have, but you would know that if you'd bothered to gather any FACTS before you started running off at the mouth.

If you HAD bothered to get any facts, you would also know about our relationship with the Seminole Tribe of Florida. It ain't about money, it's about respect. I would lay out the history of our relationship with the Seminoles of Florida for you, but I get tired of re-posting the same information every time ANOTHER dumbass, like yourself, spouts off about something they have no understanding of.

Now, continue to wallow in your ignorance.
