Tears Nole Tears (“Offcial”)

This is my favorite delusion. They’re talking about their NIL being $12M roughly and obviously the results off that speak for themselves. But I’ve seen a bunch of posts like this.

A bridge year to what, exactly? Their entire team is seniors. In two games, they’ve had TWO freshmen even get into a game. Two. In 2 full games. What are they bridging to? Their 5 total kids on the roster who were Top 100 recruits? This **** is so funny to me. This is NOT a bridge year. They’re gonna be sooooo young and inexperienced next year with no HS recruiting to save the day.

One aspect of Mario that’s he’s done wonderfully is give freshmen PT. These kids take notice of things like this. As opposed to FSU, yes, while we are “all in” this year we have a lot of young talent with experience to step in with more portal additions to fill depth/starter spots needed. Nothing like FSUs approach. We had a freakin freshman CB start game 1 on the road at UF.

How is DJU still STILL throwing behind guys...with no pressure...

The guy is just terrible. And if his dad wants to fight me over that, so be it...

Its mental now. I think his dad probably is all over him, Norvell is probably rubbing his shoulders, and fans are now berating him. I used to feel bad for these kids in these situations most were just that...kids. But with NIL and social media now I have zero sympathy.

FIVE guys (out of 17) who are barely "above average". And DJU is "one of the best"...

Dont forget we had posters on here crying that we were not doing what they were doing when they kept bringing in elite school rejects as if it made them magically good simply by being there.

FSU could lose to Memphis. Memphis just shut out North Alabama 40-0 and really didn’t give up many yards defensively. However, Memphis struggled to run, gaining just 59 yards on 26 carries. Their starting RB, Anderson, is a South Carolina transfer who ran for over 700 yards last year, so maybe it was just a bad showing overall on the ground.

Given FSU’s run defense has been absolutely gashed by GT and BC, I think the key will be Memphis’ ability to run. And if they can, it’ll show just how awful FSU is when North Alabama clamped down and held Memphis to just 59 yards rushing in a blowout loss. If I had to guess, Vegas will open with FSU -9.5 with the game at FSU and the Noles off a bye.

Exactly. And their schedule is arguably more difficult next year. They open with Bama, and are also @ Clemson, @ NCSU, and @UF.

Barring striking gold in the portal again, They are at least several years away from being “relevant” even if things go well.

Yes.

And people wonder why I rip the SemenHole writers/posters apart for their horrible logic.

They just...keep...repeating...the same mythical false phrases and statements...

A BRIDGE YEAR. A bridge to what? A bridge to where?

If they had some AMAZINGLY TALENTED high school class from a year or two, maybe I would understand where this bridge will end. BUT THEY DON'T. They even admit that they took a bunch of multi-year Portal guys, which means that they are NOT "bridging" to the high school talent.

I recall seeing a similar "bridge" in a movie one time...

Rumor has it they did this to keep us from making it ours when we play them the way we stole "Won't Back Down" from the gators.
