Florida State Running Back Demonstrates How To Run Over A Defender

Man, College Was Awesome: Your Clemson-FSU <i>GameDay</i> Sign Roundup
It's once again time for the Saturday afternoon tradition of oak-tag-and-sharpie bons mots. Today we are back in Death Valley where Clemson hosts Florida State this evening on ABC. Before we get to the signs, I'd like to just take a moment, for the adults here, to reflect on how fucking radical coll...

FSU Pulls Off Flutie-Like Hail Mary Against Boston College
Sure, it's not a game-winning touchdown, but it's hard not to think about Flutie when you watch this. With time expiring in the half, Jameis Winston scrambled away from BC defenders and launched a desperation jump ball from right around the 40-yard line into the endzone for a touchdown to Kenny Sha...

Former Florida State OT Just Got His 2012 SEC Championship Ring
Conference realignment is definitely confusing these days, but we're pretty sure Florida State is still in the ACC. In fact, yes, Florida State is still in the ACC; the Seminoles beat Georgia Tech 21-15 last year to win the ACC for the first time in seven years. According to this ring FSU won the SE...

It's Official: Somehow Florida, Of All Damn Teams, Was Thoroughly Underrated This Year
So the near-impossible has actually happened: The national media and coaches really, truly underestimated Florida this year. Any chance that wasn't the case evaporated as the Gators ripped off 24 straight points near the end of their 37-26 win over rival Florida State, a team that spent nearly the e...

Florida State Didn't Cover Against Savannah State Because They Played With A Running Clock And Ended The Game Halfway Through
Yesterday, we talked about Savannah State football throwing itself on the altar of an increased budget for the school's athletic department; today, we see the absurd fallout that can result from a cupcake game no one is particularly invested in. The Tigers had been slaughtered 84-0 by Oklahoma State...

The Savannah State Athletic Director Sure Does Hate His Football Team
Or least that's the way it looks in the short-term. Partly as an investment in the future, Savannah State has offered itself up as a cupcake to far better teams this season, and has proven itself thus far a rich, artisanal cupcake, with delicate pink frosting and cinnamon accents. The program's fir...

What Is On The Syllabus for Florida State's Class On How Not To End Up Like Bobby Petrino?
It's an important class for college students these days, so thank goodness for Dr. Jason Pappas. The course is named "Issues in Sports Management," or perhaps more accurately "How To Avoid Crashing Your Motorcycle While Joyriding With A Younger Female Employee Who Is Not Your Wife." Its course code...

Your College Football Afternoon Games Open Thread
Skip Holtz will try to beat the team Daddy Lou used to coach! How awesome is that?! So awesome that it's a network game! Oh, pretty much every Notre Dame game is on NBC, you say? Of course it is. Because that's how it was foretold....

At FSU-Florida Tailgates, Beer-Bonging May Be Interrupted By An Ass-Jiggling Gal Falling Off A Pick-up Truck
Hopefully, the poor girl in the huge sunglasses got to finally suck down that funnel she'd been diligently training for all day. She seemed rattled. [YouTube]...

Your College Football Early Games Thread
For potential heart-attack fetishists, there's Illinois at Michigan State. For sadists, B.C. at Florida State or Minnesota at Purdue. For the righteous/godless, Western Michigan at Notre Dame. For college-football addicts, there's Missouri at Texas A&M and Vanderbilt at Georgia....
