Im new to the NCAA Football & have ALWAYS been a NFL fan. My husband is a HUGE Florida State fan (Since we live rght down the street from FSU LOL) & Im slowly but surely learning everything about NCAA. I was wanting to know other people's opinion about FSU, coach Fisher, & the team this year. I think our defense is strong & we can get into the red

I totally agree with that from what Ive heard about the past with students, etc... I do give Fisher credit for actually stepping up to the plate as far keeping his team in check & actually suspending the players when they screw up! As far as Bowden goes, I thought/think he was a joke. This season, I think it was the Gators first game he was at the school shaking hands with the orange & blue students to promote his new book. Of course, he was interviewed & he kept saying he didnt care about FSU, was never going to attend another game, didnt want to speak to coach Fisher & only has once since he took over as the coach & that he only said hi to him cause he had to. I thought that was pretty crappy on his part after the school had named so much after him, put a statue of him in front of the stadium, etc... He showed his true colors, & I have no respect for him. I always pull for FSU regardless of who they are playing (thank you hubby for turning me into a fan lol) but I do agree that they have a long ways to go. My mother in law is a

LOL Thank you we're excited to bring another Nole into the household lol! I just couldnt believe he would do & say all that after everything that FSU did for him. He wanted one more year when they told him they were done with him, & because they said no, we want to win a championship, & put someone in the head coaching position that can do that he got mad & the interview guy said that he mentioned that he stormed off, didnt take the offers they offered him, etc...

Um, I am a diehard FSU fan and the fact that you think Bobby Bowden is a 'joke' shows that you really don't know what you are talking about. The way that the school/president/boosters/etc... treated him near the end was just shameful. Bobby Bowden put FSU on the map and because they named the field after him and put up a statue he's supposed to go quietly? And shaking hands with the Gators? It's called sportsmanship.

Honestly, learn something about the history of college football before you start regurgitating what others have told you.

LOL Im not worried about it, people have their opinions. Bobby did alot for FSU Ill give him that but that doesnt mean that he has the right to bash the team just cause he didnt get what he wants... what sportsmanship! :D My point is for a school that has done just as much for him as he has for the school (before he stopped caring a few years before they canned him) he has a funny way of showing his appreciation for everything. Like I said, "Sportsmanship" right? lol

I don't really think you can be a fan of Florida State if you think Bobby Bowden was a joke.
