Despite end of six-game grind, FSU still faces daunting schedule

in Sports/Top Headlines by

The six-game grinder in the Florida State men’s basketball schedule is now complete. No ACC team in 24 years faced the challenge of so many consecutive games against top 25 teams. It says a great deal that FSU was able to win five of those games. With Saturday’s wire-to-wire 73-68 win over No. 12 Louisville, the level of competition diminishes somewhat. At least on paper. While the next three games are against teams outside the top 25, all three are…

Florida State star Jonathan Isaac has the talent to overcome rare mistake

in Sports by

Jonathan Isaac is a unique talent in the world of college basketball. Unfortunately, those talents are likely to be on display in Tallahassee for only two more months, or however far Florida State goes in the NCAA Tournament. Isaac is destined for the NBA, where he will likely excel. The 6’10” 5-star forward from Naples and the IMG Academy would be there now if the league did not require at least one year of college (that’s another story). His talent…

Have we reached the point of ticket scalping for FSU basketball?

in Sports by

It is January, when the Florida State faithful like to talk about the impending National Signing Day for football or spring practice, which is nearly three months away. We have breaking news. People are actually talking about basketball in the state capital. The FSU men’s basketball team has the attention of Seminole Nation. It took a top ten ranking (No. 9), a packed house and a spanking of seventh-ranked Duke, but the FSU bandwagon is now fully loaded. Going into…

Gators, ‘Canes on the way up, FSU headed down in AP Top 25

in Sports/Top Headlines by

The top two teams in the AP Top 25 football poll remained the same this week, but Florida teams were on the move. Only two of those teams are moving in the right direction. Alabama and Ohio State kept their No. 1 and No. 2 positions, respectively, but entering the Top 10 are the Miami Hurricanes. Miami climbed four spots from last week after their impressive win at Georgia Tech. The Florida Gators, despite a less-than-awe-inspiring win over Vanderbilt, claimed the No.…

Two huge college football showdowns on tap Saturday

in Sports by

Saturday’s college football schedule is short on marquee matchups and high-stakes showdowns. Of course, the Florida teams have important games on Saturday, but outside of the state, only two games are generating national interest. Even casual fans are pointing toward the huge showdown at Clemson between the fifth-ranked Tigers and the third-ranked Louisville Cardinals. This is the ABC prime-time game for good reason. Not that long ago, the winner of the FSU-Clemson game was a virtual lock for representing the…

Louisville clobbers No. 2 Florida State behind Lamar Jackson

in Sports/Top Headlines by

Defeated? Yes, some people might have believed that Florida State’s football team would be defeated on Saturday. But dominated? This kind of result would have been impossible to conceive. The Louisville Cardinals administered a hard-to-believe 63-20 thumping on the Seminoles Saturday, dominating them from the coin flip. Louisville rushed for 314 yards and passed for 216 more in the lopsided victory. FSU, ranked No. 2 in the country coming in, was within 14-10 in the second period. However, the Seminoles…

Football flashback: FSU still remembers comeback versus Louisville

in Sports/Top Headlines by

Back in the day, Louisville jumped all over FSU. Back in the day, FSU managed to come back. Back in the day, FSU retained its national rankings. If it doesn’t seem long ago to you … well, it wasn’t. This week’s Football Flashback happened just two years ago, on the day of the comeback. As victories go, it was one of the Seminoles’ most memorable. It was Oct. 30, 2014, and FSU was 7-0 and ranked second in the country…
