Front Page Story: Media's love affair with FSU not always a bad thing

Media's love affair with FSU not always a bad thing

July will be here before we know it, and that means the ACC Football Kickoff. Once again, expect Florida St. to be the media darling of the ACC Atlantic Division, but that isn't always a bad thing. Full Story »

while this annoys me we are better without the glare of the spotlight. let FSU have bullseye on their back. The way we ended there will be barely any defending champ , 2 pastings of VT talk from the media. lets do our talking on the field

I debated whether to get into the whole Ga. Tech thing in the story, but decided it was worth only a mention. The facts were still that Tech won it on the field. This wasn't meant as an official record, just a look at how the media treats the teams in the conference and how it differs from what actually happens, especially in the Atlantic.

You're right; the media's track record is pretty bad (unfortunately for us in '08).

The definition of awesome!


I understand and I would have felt the same way


Mar 20, 2012, 3:37 PM [ in reply to Re: Agreed - wish Hood would check his facts*** ]

probably spend more time explaining it in an article than it merits actually

badge-donor-05yr.jpgringofhonor-74tiger.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Exactly, GT won it then had it retro actively stripped later


Mar 21, 2012, 9:18 AM [ in reply to Re: Agreed - wish Hood would check his facts*** ]

Southern Cal won a national championship on the field and was recognized as the champion. Having that title stripped later changes nothing except the official record books moving forward.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Point is, they may not have won it without those ineligible


Mar 21, 2012, 12:42 PM

players. In fact, those players were a huge part of the win.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Very true but it's not just a media thing. I'm thinking all


Mar 20, 2012, 12:38 PM

God's chillun' would mostly pick FSU. I'd pick 'em next year because they have us at home. I picked us last year because we had them at home.

WRONG, a great program WANTS TO BE PICKED #1


Mar 20, 2012, 2:11 PM

each year, they want that challange

they don't want someone else being considered better than them

if Clemson or Dabo don't want to be picked #1 each year because of the target it puts on them, then we need new and stronger leaders

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Who cares?


Mar 20, 2012, 2:19 PM

Really.... who gives a dayum what the ACC beat writers think? None of that matters AT ALL. Show up on the field and WIN, and everything else will take care itself, just like last year. We weren't even ranked to start the season, and then before GT we were in the top 5 (IIRC), and had we beaten GT, we'd have been in the top 3, and been a lock for the BCSNCG.

Just win. That's it.

Really? I've played on a lot of good teams (every team thinks they're great, save "great" for multiple consecutive championships, please) and I LOVED being overlooked. ANYTHING that keeps you fired up is a good thing. And don't give me that BS about "challenge", that's like "not looking ahead", total, bogus BS. EVERYONE looks ahead. Those that claim not to have lied and if you bought it, you've been scammed.

Let's pray to be taken lightly and disrespected. Let them call every win ugly, lucky and aided by bad calls. Let them pick FSU to win the NC, us to finish last and lose to Furman.

Even a broken clock is right twice a day.


Mar 20, 2012, 3:40 PM

With Clemson breaking in a new OL (like 2008) and DL, and with what FSU returns, and with Clemson playing at FSU, I think FSU is a logical choice for the Atlantic.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Shocker!***


Mar 20, 2012, 3:52 PM



flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

I think winning at FSU will be difficult


Mar 20, 2012, 8:02 PM [ in reply to Even a broken clock is right twice a day. ]

but not an automatic win as some seem to think. By that point in the season they would have played a few games together and hopefully have gelled.

People continue to bring up 08 and what happened to us that year. I say that we didn't have Caldwell or Morris in 08 so things are very very different.

Heck people were bringing up what VT did to us in 06 aand 07 this year and said "here we go again" I think we sufficiently shut those people up.

So... FSU's back? Again? No really, we mean this time...

REMINDER: Dabo don't give a crap!

FSU is going to kill us in Tally this year. That Dfense is going to be unstoppable and their offensive line won't be hurt.

Mar 21, 2012, 9:25 AM

Of the 3 top running backs on FSU team none will be at spring practice. Guess with Manuals broken leg they just paln to throw on every down. FSU is setting itself up with unrealistic expectations b too much PR. Another year for recruiting classes to kick in. They will be competitive at the top but they are not Back as in dominant

Media sucks


Mar 21, 2012, 10:12 AM

Being from lowcountry in SC I can say that mo matter how good Clemson is, the news is always about them coots. The same goes with ESPN. All they talked about was waiting for Clemson to return to their normal form by failing apart in games we should have won. That has been our rep for the past couple of years and until we change that we will never get the media that we should.
