Also, an easy way to spot faux-fans is that they don't hate their own team enough. Only through self-loathing & disgust can we find true college football enlightenment.

So it's time where coaches start making the rounds for Boosters events, where coaches go and pump sunshine to the hands that feed them/their programs. They tend to speak a little more candidly, but not too much more. Twitter helps deliver sound bites to the masses - here are FSU's from the Atlanta event, for all our 6 fans on TFF


Good stuff. I don't really know what to expect from this team but it's going to be a wild ride. If FSU ends up in the top 15 at the end of the year I think it will be a success. I can't wait to watch Dalvin run for a billion yards.

I like "conference solidarity" because it gives another arena to talk unwarranted trash in, usually somewhat ironically and awkwardly. Otherwise I have close to zero concern for anyone in the ACC except rivals and money it brings in.

WE ARE SMART
If conference solidarity means actively rooting for teams in your conference during non-conference matchups on principle then gently caress that, but if conference solidarity means retroactively taking delight in your conference beating the poo poo out of another conference during rivalry week then call me an ACC fan.

The question now is: Is Golson automatically FSU's #1 or will he have to win the job from Maguire?

And if Jimbo just makes that interception machine his automatic #1 for QB, how the gently caress can he look Maguire in the eye and ask him to play if Golson goes down? Also, how much does it suck to be Maguire right now? Poor guy.

Jimbo's gonna preen an offense especially for Golson, since our's is nuts and he'll have a summer to pick it up. It will probably look like something Christian Ponder ran when he was at FSU

He's not gonna beat Maguire out and will have to hope for an injury to start again. If he wanted to play he should have gone to a school like Wake Forest, or Syracuse, Boston College (assuming an ACC slant), really anywhere that has a severe lack of QB talent in comparison to FSU. If you want to be the walk in starter go somewhere that has had literally 0 luck finding anyone decent.

QUOTE IT GOLSON WON'T BE THE GAME 1 STARTER AT FSU. He wasted his transfer opportunity imo.

So I was talking to UGA's punter, Collin Barber, yesterday since I see him around from time to time. I was asking him about the new OC and stuff and he says that probably the biggest impact that will happen from all the offseason nonsense is the new S&C guy since Mark Hocke (via Alabama) got hired on to replace Tereshinski. The weight room mentality has completely changed from getting big with cardio and stamina as a secondary objective to making a much bigger push on pulling cardio being as important as lifting and things like yoga and other stretching exercises being seriously brought in instead of a neat offseason story. I know around here we can really appreciate the difference a good (or terrible) S&C coach can bring in, but sometimes it is surprising to hear someone kinda talk candidly about how much better the training is now with a new guy heading things up.

He should have gone to Virginia Tech since Brewer is one hard hit away from his brains shooting out like somebody dropped a watermelon

All they need from the offense is average, and that's probably what Golson should be shooting for

Much like with everything else in life, the Euros seem to have more sense on how to do things in a fun atmosphere without sucking the soul out of the event.
VT's notoriously good when they get average from their offense.

Speaking of, they've already started the press circuit for the Battle at Bristol. Had the ADs and some assistants from both schools down there this past weekend doing Q&A and whatnot. Expected crowd is 150,000 right now.

Tyrod Taylor was good especially his senior year. Logan Thomas' first year was awesome, but he had great weapons around him and regressed hard when they graduated. Bryan Randell was a fan favorite, and while not particularly flashy or dramatic was a consistent winner.

Basically Tyrod is the one one I'd call 100% competent.

Tyrod all the way. That 2011 team should have had him as his QB and I bet that team has a great shot at a natty with a 5 year senior Tyrod. Thanks Glennon the elder for not being able to hold it together for just 1 year.
