#FSU RB Tre Wisner has already been ruled out for the trip to Pittsburgh…
Looks like true freshman Amari Thomas will make his first career start. #Noles
Florida is loaded and going to be great this season.
With that being said, you have to leave this game as an FSU fan excited about what’s ahead for this team.
Highly competitive keeping it a game all throughout with poor shooting.
Let the team build its chemistry.
Great true test against a top team.
Both @EasyVeazeyNG and I will be live right after FSU takes on No. 1 Florida tonight.
If any FSU basketball fans are looking for a postgame show, come hang out! https://t.co/SmtPsKYdoJ
FSU AD Jeff Purinton on hiring a head coach that fits Florida State’s principals:
“I think a Florida State guy can mean a couple of things. We want to get the best coach and the best person to lead this program and I think our leadership would agree that could be somebody with a degree from somewhere else, it could be a Florida State person, but we want to get the right one and build this thing back the right way and win a bunch of football games.”
FSU has its new AD: Jeff Purinton.
• FSU alum, bachelor's and master's from Florida State
• Worked in FSU athletics from 1994-2006 under Bobby Bowden, part of the 1999 national title team
• Spent 15 years at Alabama under Nick Saban, rising to executive deputy AD and football sport administrator, part of six national title teams
• Ran Arkansas State as AD from 2022-25, then EVP at Learfield
Early links to watch: he overlapped at Alabama with Georgia DC Glenn Schumann (2008-15) and Memphis HC Charles Huff (2019-20). Manny Diaz overlapped with Purinton at FSU under Bowden in 1998-99.
