FSU PRESIDENT'S STATEMENT ILLUSTRATED

Dear God…should have sent a poet…

This proves that even the greatest football coaches can be humbled by rabies.

Where’s the Michael Scott’s Dunder Mifflin Scranton Meredith Palmer Memorial Celebrity Rabies Awareness Pro-Am Fun Run Race For The Cure when you need it?

That opening photo says it all!

Even the five second version has me all emotional. Fuckin’ dog….

I know Bobby’s senile and everything, but it’s interesting to look at how expectations have changed. Here’s the record of College Football Hall of Famer Bobby Dodd, the guy Tech named the stadium after, in his last 10 seasons: 4-4-2, 5-4-1, 5-5, 5-5, 7-4, 7-3-1, 7-3, 7-3, 7-3-1, 9-2. With a 3-7 record against UGA. Plus taking Tech out of the SEC. And people were screaming, “No, please don’t go!” when he retired after losing the last two games of the 1966 season.

What have you done for me lately, dadgummit?

Good to see that guy found a use for his old pog tube in his Team Fortress 2 Halloween outfit.

I have a prediction as to one potential winner in all this. TK’s gonna retire without actually having The Talk with Coach B… leaving that mega-uncomfy job to the acting president (assuming that they put in an acting president and form an Executive Search Bureaucracy of some sort). I’d further assume that this would be Provost Abele (maybe this is already a stated fact, I dunno).

So Abele gets the turd job of having the security guys box up Bobby’s stuff and change all the locks at the sports complex. He subsquently (and unfairly) gets ridden out of town by the populace. (I’m picturing a paper mache clown head and a donkey [80S POP CULTURE ALERT].)

Result: A decent lifelong academic turns to the classified ads in the Chronicle of Higher Ed, and says, “Dumb Southern Football School Rejected Me: Make Me Your Next President.” I bet he looks really good to a non-football college of reasonable academic stature, somewhere in the Carolinas or Virginia.

So… good luck, Larry. Enjoy the cooler weather up there.

That explains the foam around Bobby’s mouth after the ‘97 game in Gainesville. Seriously, I respect the old bugger for creating the fearsome adversary that them dadgum ’Noles became. I’m old enough to remember when we could be 0 and 5, FSU could be 5 and 0, and we’d still kick their butts. I wish they’d kept this discussion “in the family”, instead of leaving everyone’s pantaloons out on the line, blowing in the breeze for all the world to see. What the hey. If they pull off the upset in Gainesville this year, the alumni should make Jim Smith pose for a photo kissing the ass of Bobby’s statue, or resign hizzone dam seff.

Gator Vince

I wonder what the chances of TK getting the boot and Bowden taking the AD role…

Another TF2 reference makes me all tingly down there. We need an EDSBS clan.

I still remember when we (FSU) beat the gators in a nice string of years from 1987, 1988, 1989, 1990, 1992, 1993,1995, and 1996. I remember all the moaning about those losses from gator fans. These things are cyclical – FSU will be back. No worries.

Old Yeller would like to call bullshit on any comparisons between itself and Bobby Bowden.

Who is editing the PRESIDENT of FSU’s press releases? The first two sentences have grammatical errors. Buffoonery.

Dudes, when you are a coach, and your boss tells the press that your job is safe, it isn’t. That press release is like finding a horse’s head in you bed, or the Godfather giving you that big, slobbery kiss.

It’s all over but for the cryin’

What would make that Old Yeller video complete, is JoePa pulling the trigger….because you know JoePa is behind all of these here shenanigans…..I’d say Bobby should do the same for JoePa anonymously suggest that JoePa should step down, especially after losing to Iowa…AGAIN…then they could meet at the 50 yard line, step 10 paces, turn, and shoot…..

Bowden should put a horses head in JoePa’s bed Godfather style…thats his only hope…

FSU Dude, you lost in ’95, and counting ’96 is disingenuous at best. Either that, or we beat you twice in ’97. Your call.

Somebody’s sappin’ mah football program!
