We had someone get arrested by the FBI. We had someone nearly OD on gummies on the team plane. We lost prime LeBron James. We gave the keys to Hassan Whiteside. We struck out on every star for 10 years. We lost 2 finals. We had a franchise legend quit on us. And STILL we rise

For all the attention Miami gets from the national media, it’s interesting that FSU still generated 20.1M viewers compared to Miami’s 13.4M. That’s nearly a 50% advantage with both programs appearing on ABC/ESPN four times.

Think about that for a second. Even with the current state of our football program, FSU remains the ACC’s biggest television draw. We outpaced Clemson by 29%, UNC by 43%, and Miami by 50%.

Miami might be the media’s favorite storyline, but the actual television numbers tell you which brand still commands the larger audience.

And that’s what makes our next coaching decision so important. FSU doesn’t have a brand problem. We have a football product that isn’t remotely maximizing the commercial value of that brand.

With the Big Ten potentially on the horizon, this isn’t simply about finding someone who can win eight or nine games. It’s about understanding the economics of conference realignment, media valuations, recruiting infrastructure, and the importance of entering a new conference with a championship-caliber roster already assembled.

We cannot afford another three-year rebuilding experiment.

There’s something to be said for a proven championship coach who understands the expectations in Tallahassee, knows what it takes to recruit nationally under the FSU logo, and has already demonstrated he can build a program capable of competing with the SEC’s best.

Sometimes the smartest investment isn’t chasing the next big thing. It’s recognizing the value of someone who’s already delivered the very thing you’re trying to get back to.

The logo still sells. The audience is still there. The national relevance hasn’t disappeared.

It’s time we put a football program on the field that reflects it.

Giannis Antetokounmpo says he LOVES playing with Bam Adebayo:

“I love playing with Bam. I just love interacting with him. He has the same personality as my older brother. They were born on the same day. His personality is familiar to me. I love being around him. I love playing with him. I think the more we get to know one another, the better it’s going to be”

Saying a guy who has a 10-21 record the last 3yrs “can’t catch a break” is definitely a choice..

I have a message for the FSU administration

As has been mentioned, Shannon Sharpe’s rant on Isaiah Thomas and the 2018 Cavs is probably the most iconic moment in the history of Undisputed.
