Florida State, Vanderbilt, And Michigan State Are Going Dancing, But They Would Have Been Anyway

Florida State Upset North Carolina, But What We Really Learned Is That Walk-Ons Are Expendable
When the clock hit zero at the end of Florida State's shocking 90-57 upset of #3 North Carolina, none of the Tar Heels' star players were on the floor. In fact, they were already in the locker room, as they'd been pulled out of the arena along with the rest of UNC's scholarship players—leaving fi...

Here's That Nice Lady Getting Her Boob Licked At The Florida State-Florida Game (LEGAL UPDATES)

Miami-FSU Fans Settle Differences With Punches To The Head, Incomprehensible Yelling

Taxpayers Fail To Unsoil Bowden's Legacy
The legal costs for FSU's fruitless fight to overturn those 12 forfeited games? $102,000 in tax dollars, and $70,000 from the boosters' fund. [Florida Times-Union]...
Andrew Jackson's Least Favorite Team Vs. Everyone Else's: Florida State-Gonzaga

Meanwhile, Florida State Oh So Quietly Vacates A Bunch Of Bobby Bowden's Victories
FSU, in a fit of Super Bowl Sunday housecleaning, throws out 12 football victories, 22 men's basketball victories, a track championship, some old Sam Cassell photos, and a bunch of expired Foot Locker coupons. [Orlando Sentinel, Daily Fix]...
Let's All Question Myron Rolle's Priorities

Bobby And Me: Remembering College Football's Grand Old Coot

Even Inanimate Objects Think It's Time For Bowden To Call It A Career

I Don't Think Coach Bowden Got The Message
It's only the beginning of the third quarter and Florida is already thrashing Florida State 30-0. This will only end in tears. I'm just not sure if it will be Tim Tebow or Bobby Bowden producing said tears. Maybe both....
Your Late Afternoon College Football Viewing Open Thread
The big game this afternoon appears to be Florida State at Florida. Tim Tebow will play his final game at the "Swamp" and Florida State head coach Bobby Bowden will try to remember he is coaching in a football game....
Bobby Bowden Acts His Age, Forgets Score
