I *will* get well soon, Bobby Bowden!
A buddy of mine met up with FSU Coach Bobby Bowden at a golf event last week and the two of them put together a care package for me. I opened it today and was floored! There was a note, a signed picture from Coach Bowden, and a signed golf towel. Awesome!

Attn: College football fans - the Charity Bowl
Orson & I have organized The Charity Bowl this week to raise money for the American Red Cross to help for devastating cyclone in Myanmar, the tornadoes in Oklahoma, Missouri and the Midwest, storms in the Southeast, wildfires in California & Florida, and earthquakes in China, not to mention the everyday needs in our own communities.
We're organizing donations by school… so go show your support!
Update: I'm proud to say that we raised over $3,000 today. There are two more days left… maybe we can get that to $10K?!
Update: Wow. I don't even have the words…. We've raised over $10,000 in donations in two days. The Charity Bowl wraps tomorrow with a big twist!

Fisher is the future at FSU
Florida State has scheduled a Monday morning press conference to announce that 'Noles Offensive Coordinator Jimbo Fisher will be named the successor to Head Coach Bobby Bowden.
Bowden will continue at the helm for FSU until he elects to retire, and then Jimbo will be named the new Head Coach.
I think everyone is tempted to do a little reading between the lines here and that's understandable. Bowden essentially has a lifetime contract at FSU, but will likely coach for only another year or two. Naming Jimbo as the future king gives the Seminoles a big advantage with players, fans and recruits.
I can't even begin to tell you how glad I am that things are working out this way. We get several more great years with Bowden and while our next coach is already at work building the future.

Tag - you're it
Just got a call from the county tax office that my license plate request has processed. I'm not terribly excited about pulling the Texas plates off, but… at least I got something I like! Go Noles!

You noticed that?
Yes, I've updated the colors on my blog. Why? Because it's hate week, of course.

There's always that one kid…
It's almost that time of year, although hating the Gators is pretty much a year round hobby!
Go Noles!

FSU downs UCLA
It's been a long, long, long year, but it is always nice to finish with a win.
FSU beat UCLA 44-27 in the Emerald Bowl.
Jeff Bowden, who was forced to resign, called a great game last night and was able to do it his way - without too much intervention from Bobby. Bobby did keep calling for the same play over and over though - the lob pass to Gregg Carr. Eventually it worked, but I think we went to it five or six times unsuccessfully. Eh.
The good news: Two offensive coaches are out for next year - OC Jeff Bowden and RB coach Billy Sexton. That's a start. Now we just have to find someone to replace them.
How far has this team fallen? We went to a bowl game where we had to share the sideline with the UCLA players.
Odd trivia: The Emerald Bowl (San Franscisco) is the farthest FSU has ever played from Tallahassee.
All in all, this was the best possible bowl outcome: a win, plus a glimmer of hope for next year.
