That seems more like a boo boo curseI blame the voodoo curse becuase of @321nole
When the buyout is that large, but the record is this bad, the end-of-season move almost always follows the "fire the coordinators" model.
I would expect several of the position coaches are toast as well.
I don't think I've ever seen an offense turn the ball over on three consecutive plays.
Speaking of shit, has the dog shit guy followed through with his promise to break the curse?
I thought he deleted his X account like the typical ballless/gutless SemenHole fan would do??!
It appears a sacrifice has been offered to the football gods to atone for the delinquent shit eating:
I slept through the entire game. It looks like I didn’t miss anything. Other than a couple dozen plays on the film breakdowns, I have not watched this team play all season. CSB
Orrrrr…it’s purposely worded so they would never have to “pay up.” Damn, the curse will continue.
I don’t actually want to see someone eat dog poop again (I watched Pink Flamingos back in the day), I just want to know that a loudmouth jackass got what was coming to him.
Speaking of not paying up, what are the odds that we have multiple private investigators either following Norvell when he is off campus or combing through every aspect of his life looking for evidence of criminal wrongdoing?
I am still hoping he resigns😂
The body of work 4.5 seasons suggest he is a bad coach and has literally the worst offensive scheme in all of college football when J-Trav does not start. The magic of 2022 and 2023 was mainly due to J-Trav and hand full of leaders like Benson and Verse. But the reality when looking at 2020, 2021, and 2024 is without a generational type playmaker who could hide the flaws of offense by improvising, FSU was, and now is again, one of the worst teams in all of football and certainly the worst offense in all of football. And there have been plenty of QBs we have tried and they all look the same: shell shocked and unable to consistently move the ball or score. Blackman, Milton, Rodemaker, Purdy, Brock, DJU, and Luke all looked the same (awful) and had same results. It’s about the coaching and offensive scheme not working.
Holy shit. You could have been a poster on the Iowa football board the last 3 years.
The oline is evidence numero uno, followed or even surpassed by WR play. Dang boys, did you suddenly forget how to play ball?
Several positives to praise.
Tackles for loss are ticking up.
Kick blocking as well.
Sam Singleton Jr with the kickoff return.
The kickers, thanks for the kicking teams.

I was looking at the stats post game, and looking at their numbers before. The D did a very solid job. This is very reminiscent of the Slim Reaper? era and it all started with the OLine being the worst FSU had seen. Until now.....
We all can agree that the WR’s are dropping way too many balls. Are any of the INT’s possibly on them running wrong routes?
The INTs this game weren’t on them. You would have liked some OPI on the first one to try to prevent the defender from getting it. That’s immaterial. A bunch of DJUs were on the receivers.
The offensive line is straight garbage. Every team is in our backfield every play. We have to use misdirection and the option just to get a basic run game going.
Previous games… possibly, but certainly not the first INT last night. Took too long to throw and even longer to get there. That was effectively a 35-40 yard throw from the far hash to the opposite sideline. Brock doesn’t have that type of arm/velocity. The second INT I would put money on a bad pre-snap read. Never saw the backer, or didn’t expect him to drop into coverage. The third, which was ruled incomplete, was a brain dead throw. Should never have been in bounds.
