I lived on Mahoney 4Long my freshman year in 1997. The football players all lived on 4 and 5Long. Baseball was on 4Short, Basketball was sprinkled in the middle (but some were also on Pearson 7Long - the infamous 7th Floor).

Yes, we are all very, very glad social media didn’t exist back then. 🤣

I used to live on the 7th floor of Pearson, the ceilings are higher. That's very smart to put the basketball players up there.

When I was a freshman and most of the athletes lived in the old apartment area along ****inson, I had a work study with Student Housing. Sometimes I had to go out on the truck that would deliver replacement furniture to apartments and dorms, and I remember that all of the athletes (particularly football and basketball) got extra-long beds.

Good lord, I still remember dumb **** from almost 40 years ago...

Pike is Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity. The Pike house at F$U is pretty impressive (at least from the outside, I've never been inside).

A lot of fraternities have abbreviated nicknames, particularly the ones with three letters. Pilam is Pi Lambda Phi. Sammie is Sigma Alpha Mu. TEP is Tau Epsilon Phi. Teke is Tau Kappa Epsilon and Deke is Delta Kappa Epsilon (George HW Bush and Dan Quayle).

I’m starting to think FSU does have the money more and more, but it makes zero sense to wait because the best candidate may be off the table already. I really have no clue what they are doing, other than hoping Norvell can win out this season and then let him take the drumming of next years schedule.

If the Franklin to VT smoke is real, I genuinely don't understand it from his perspective. He said, on gameday after he was fired, that his goal remained the same: winning a national championship. VT is about one of the worst places to do that. Franklin has one more chance for a solid P4 job. If he underperforms at his next stop, he's done. VT is a complete top-to-bottom rebuild. They also don't have the $$$ or resources to compete with the top of the ACC.
 
He did well at Vandy. VT is a similar gig to Vandy. He also recruits VA well. I could see his style doing well in Blacksburg. Not sure he wants any part of Tally drama

FSU isn't as easy or glamorous of a job as their fans think it is. Sky high expectations, a ceiling on resources/donations/NIL, and direct competition with the top programs in Florida and the south. At VT, Franklin would have time.

SMU showed up and has been a top ACC because coaches like Mario **** down their own leg and leave the door open.

Don’t blame him for thinking he could F around and sneak into the playoffs and maybe go on a run

Because he may want to win a championship but he really wants a job where he can be good not great and get paid for it. If he has a run anywhere near what he had at PSU at VT, they’ll build a statue of him.

Frank Beamer is a god there because he went 9-3 every year and finished second to Miami in the BIg East.
 
I think it’s time to give cornrows his due.

That was an amazing win yesterday and undoubtedly justifies not only him retaining his position, but extending his contract.

From his prancing out to the field extending his pinky in the air, to his great coaching and recruiting, to the back rubs, the holes need not look elsewhere for a long term coaching solution.

Can definitely see why he thinks his team will win a national championship after that dominating win

He's going to get them bowl eligible again.

Man deserves more time.
