Sports Addict- So what now for FSU? November 10, 2009The devastating news that Florida State quarterback Christian Ponder will miss the rest of the season seems unfortunately like a fitting end to this dismal season for the Seminoles. Without their top offensive player, it seems all but certain that FSU will be unable to muster the 2 wins it needs in order to become bowl [...]flsports
- Tim Tebow vs. Christian Ponder: Who should be a Heisman contender? November 2, 2009While Tim Tebow had a masterful dominating performance on Saturday, let me ask you a question. What should matter more when it comes to the Heisman Trophy and other honors – the number of wins you rack up, regardless of your performance, or how well you play week in and week out? That’s because I think an [...]flsports
- BCS remains a scam October 26, 2009Well, now. Bet all the Gators fans are feeling better now. Despite another blown call in a close game, the Gators have recaptured the No. 1 position in the AP poll and remain atop the Bowl Championship Series rankings. Too bad the BCS is nothing but a farce. While some people may bemoan politicians spending time wading into [...]flsports
- Gators shouldn’t let No. 1 ranking fool them October 20, 2009I’m probably not going to say anything Urban Meyer doesn’t say constantly. But that No. 1 ranking bestowed on the Florida Gators in the BCS standings means next to nothing right now. And I will go one step further: The Gators don’t really deserve it. But for a couple of questionable calls - one of which the SEC [...]flsports
- Bad start for Jags and Bucs is so predictable October 12, 2009In the wake of yet another debilitating loss, the rah-rahs for new coach Raheem Morris and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have just about faded away completely. Instead we now have columnists wondering if Morris is up to the job as head coach. Psst. It’s a bit too late to ask this question. This train wreck of a season [...]flsports
- Will FSU fans show their displeasure on Saturday night? October 7, 2009So it would appear from media accounts that Florida State Coach Bobby Bowden may get a reprieve and may in fact get to decide when he will step down despite the disappointment over this year’s 2-3 season. There’s no doubt that Bowden – who met with FSU President T.K. Wetherell on Tuesday – has gotten his [...]flsports
- FSU president must decide if it’s time for Bowden era to end October 4, 2009On the same weekend that the University of Miami upset Oklahoma and completed an impressive four-game stretch, it is clear that the end of an era is coming for Florida State. When head coach Bobby Bowden is forced to defend himself as vigorously as he did in the moments following the loss to Boston College, you [...]flsports
- Anger boiling over as some FSU fans say it’s time for Bowden to leave September 30, 2009The Seminoles stunning 17-7 loss this past weekend to the University of South Florida is reverberating through FSU fandom. One columnist has already called on head coach Bobby Bowden to pack it in. Meanwhile the Tallahassee airwaves were sizzling as Tallahassee radio host Jeff Cameron has gone on a tear the last two days, attacking many aspects of [...]flsports
- Gator bashing heats up in wake of Tebow injury September 27, 2009Well, that didn’t take long. The news that Tim Tebow got knocked out of Saturday night’s game with the University of Kentucky Wildcats quickly morphed into a raging debate into whether Coach Urban Meyer should have had him in the game. By Sunday morning the talking heads on ESPN were taking sides on whether Meyer was [...]flsports
- A No. 1 ranking means next to nothing right now September 25, 2009If there was anything to be learned from South Carolina’s dominating win over No. 4 ranked Ole Miss on Thursday night, it’s that once again poll rankings in the month of September mean next to nothing. Oh, I know that the Gators fans will soon be frothing at the mouth. That doesn’t mean that UF doesn’t [...]flsports
