I'm a NOLE for life but ya gotta love Ole Spurrier. I miss him he'd always say something before the game to start hype it up another level lol . We called him the evil genius!!!!!
As a young lad, my favorite football memories were every 2 years in Tally I got to see Spurrier toss his visor in rage, raising the proverbial white flag of defeat against my beloved Noles Edit: visor, not hat
I can't speak for all FSU fans, but I always like to watch competitive games. Hard fought victories are what make this game special. I also miss the Spurrier v. Bowden years.
Seminole here, class of '82. I have always loved Coach Spurrier and his style of coaching. I love how he speaks his mind! Too bad he retired! Great video!
Thanks for the joy you brought to the Gators. All the best for you and your family going forward. Go 🐊. Wax Miami. Rinse and repeat, throughout the season.
As an LSU fan, I wouldn't mind having FSU and Clemson in the SEC. Just think about some of the big-time matchups we would get to see, Clemson vs. Bama, FSU vs. Georgia, Clemson vs. Texas, FSU vs. Oklahoma would be some fun games to watch.
This Nole for life has nothing but the utmost respect for the HBC. I totally agree with him here. I think Clemson and FSU are no brainers. And stop the madness please...in the decades of football that all teams have played, FSU and Clemson have just as respectable of a winning percentage as Bama, AU, UF, UGA, LSU, OU, Texas, and Tennessee. Oh...finally, the pie will not be divided...ESPN will bake TWO fresh pies!! And having that budget raise for FSU and Clemson scares the hell out of a lot of SEC fans as well as a few SEC administrators.
@@williambyrd2149wrong. Traditional markets no longer matter. The numbers of eyes FSU and Clemson would add far surpass the eyes any if the Carolina schools would bring. Hell they already do in the ACC
I’m a Seminole, class of 67. I live in Johnson City, TN, Spurrier’s hometown. Steve’s response to that question has earned him new found respect in Nole Nation. Gud Job Coach.
My respect for Steve has grown steadily over the years. To the point that I have been a fan of his for several years now. The only time I ever really disliked (hated?) him is when he influenced the referees before the 1995 Sugar Bowl. lmao...
Die hard Nole fan but really miss Spurrier. College football gentleman the likes of which we don’t see anymore. The damage being done to college football by the likes of ESPN is immeasurable. Really sad state of affairs.
It’s a damn shame we ever let superior go in the first place. Hell, he might still be coaching here to this day. Guy proved at uSC that he still had what it takes.
FSU has an all-time winning record against Spurrier and the SEC at large. Norvell is a stud of a coach and it shouldn’t be a surprise that FSU is positioned to succeed - be it in the B1G or the SEC.
Thats a given I hate realignment I hate Portal NIL I hate OU going to the SEC I will never chant SEC 16-20 teams makes 0 sense I'm already tired of this Sh** I believe OU Texass will do just fine We have already beat these teams
Why wouldn't FSU and Clemson do well in the SEC? They play a couple SEC schools every year anyway, why wouldn't the SEC want them in? Florida plays them every year anyway... let other SEC teams knock heads with them. This shouldn't be about screwing good schools. FSU is one of the most watched teams in America, good brand, would solidify the SEC as the best!
When dual sport athlete Tommy Polley (a 90's player for FSU) was being recruited by the ole ball coach, Tommy told him by phone that he was going to commit to Bobby Bowden, the ole ball coach said "well that's ok, i thought you were a better basketball player anyways" and hung up on him! As an FSU fan ya got to love it!
@@tomspitler3353 - I was a Big East boy , from way back when Doug Flutie played at Boston College , so I rooted against Miami. I liked Coach Bobby Bowden & the FSU uniforms- so I rooted for FSU !
🤣🤣🤣 FSU is little brother, that'll never change. If you're gonna compare football Conference championships, of course yall have more because you KNEW going into the ACC you would dominate it as it was weaker, Bobby Bowden admitted to that. All-time win series, Florida is ahead...Total National Championships in football, tied (which is actually embarrassing for FSU considering they went to weaker conference to get to the Natty game easier and they STILL only have the same number of football nattties as Florida 🤡). National Championships across all sports Florida 48 vs FSU 20. Olympic athletes that have won medals, Florida too many to count, FSU too minimal. Florida has triple crown status (Football, Baseball, Basketball natties), FSU only football natties. Florida is an AAU school and flagship, FSU is neither. Florida's endowment is almost as much as FSU's entire budget. All in all, FSU little brother. It's also funny that you're trying to flip the narrative about joining "little brother's conference" when Florida is a charter member of the SEC and FSU just wants to bandwagon for the money. The easy route to the Natty was great until the money stopped being as good, you reap what you sow and FSU is getting what it deserves. Can't have your cake and eat it too. Yall turned away the SEC invite back in the 90s, so enjoy the smaller paycheck.
@r.guardia9107 CRAZY we lost 2 years in a row. When before that Florida had won 4 years in a row. Not saying FSU can't win a football game against Florida. It wouldn't a be a rivalry if Florida won every time. Doesn't change the fact yall are still little brother when it comes to overall athletics, facts are facts. And even with yall winning the last 2 years, guess what...Florida still holds the lead for the All-time series. Sit down little brother.
Well, FSU is the only program who played UF on a seasonal basis to have a winning record vs the boy…8-5-1. Of course, he didn’t do so well at South Carolina. Several programs have winning records against him during his time there.
Can't wait to see the remaining videos! Loved the series with Urban, and really value their opinons about the program. Down the road...would love to see Tim on this channel!
Great job with the interview. Big shout out to the Ole Ball Coach. Gator Nation does - and always will - love you man! Unfortunately, in this game of realignment I believe competition and fan perspectives take a back seat to market share and contract enhancement. I totally agree as far as the product on the field - FSU and Clemson produce quality teams. SEC matchups that included them would be competitive and fun to watch. If the SEC decided to expand, it's pretty clear both UNC and VA bring more to the table with respect to market share (all sports being considered). Both bring new, attractive markets to the table where SEC currently lacks (and desires) footprint. I think the only way the SEC adds FSU and Clemson is in a situation where they want to prevent them from going to the ACC. Clearly the SEC is in a "wait and see" mode, and likely will not make any moves until the fate of the entire ACC is determined. Likely the same for the BIG10.
I don't know what kind of financial research you have done to back up this statement but FSU as of Spring 2023 would have been the 6th largest revenue producer in the B1G and 7th in the SEC, just below UF by a piddly 6 mil....that's value far and above 1/2 of each conference. This being with the shit contract we have with the ACC that was completely misrepresented by John Swofford and continued by Jim Phillips. FSU and Clemson have for decades been the largest revenue producers in the ACC and had to share with basketball schools like Duke, Syracuse, and UNC along with far inferior football programs like Ga Tech, NC State, and BC....what a joke. So sir I suggest you do a little research in the future before opening your swamp hole.
I personally want us and Clemson go to the SEC… those games would be fire 🔥.Go NOLES!!! Also the travel will be much easier as I’m from Tallahassee. GoNOLES!!!
FSU fan here. I'd much rather be in the SEC than the B1G. Nothing but respect for the Ole Ball Coach, super entertaining rivalry (but LOTS of mutual respect) between him and Bobby during their years at the two programs.
Oh yea, the consolation game because they can never win the real game of the year. Choke again. 1-5? How many national championships can Uga piss Way? Do less with more than anyone. But hey, “63-3” Btw, didn’t FSU beat LSU two years in a row and UF?
@@r.guardia9107 you’re saying that a program that won the National Championship in 2021 and 2022 and has a 5-1 record in the CFP is a “choker” 😂🤦♂️ ok Bubba
FSU and Clemson do not bring new TV markets to the SEC. UNC and UVA would bring new TV markets to both SEC and Big 10. Big 10 reps recently said they don't like FSU being uncooperative partners ( lawsuits). TX and Oklahoma did not do hostile lawsuits to join SEC. Big 10 also likes AAU schools which FSU is not a member of.
FSU year one in the SEC would be 5-7 Its not so much the teams as it is the marathon of teams Its something Texas and Oklahoma are going to find out Having a schdule with Tennessee Florida Georgia Ole Miss ALABAMA SOUTH carolina Back to back to back to back with little to no cupcake in between is hard even for the best teams
I don’t think there’s a question if fsu/Clemson would do well or compete in the sec. The concern is more about expanding the market of the conference. Furthermore what’s a super conference? Is it defined by number of programs? The more programs you add the more you get away from the purpose of a collegiate conference. It’s really good to see coach Spurrier and that’s coming from a Texas fan.
And here is the best college football coach ever and it's not Nick Saban. No one had the schedule this man had and he would put it on u. By the way, it was This man Steve Spurier that was offered the job at Alabama and he turned it down. Nick Saban was their third choice.
As a long-time Gators fan, it pains me to admit this: fsu would do well in the SEC. Probably stronger than they are now because it would be easier to recruit top athletes to play in the SEC than in the ACC.
Well he did surprise me with that answer but however I think that FSU would struggle especially in the beginning but time will tell glad you had the old ball coach on and go Gators
FSU would do well IF they played like last year. Big IF. The country may be on the way to only four large conferences. Hopefully the SEC stay as is for awhile to see how the current bevy of teams works.
They didn’t replace what they lost in the draft at all. The rest of college football caught up to them in terms of the portal which hurts the recruiting philosophy tremendously. They’ll fall back to what they were before this season
FSU has improved every year under Mike Norvell...remember we had a 10 win season in 2022. Not such a big "IF" after all....more like a good possibility.
@@jamesb0255 that’s not true. They had a 3-6 season his second year including a horrendously embarrassing loss to Jacksonville state at home. They have improved the last 2 years, but, they were one of the only schools abusing the portal during that time. Look at their portal classes the last two years and compare that to this year. It’s a large fall off.
I thought FSU should have been in the SEC back in the mid 90s. FSU plays SEC football...Defense first. They had high flying offenses thru out the 90's except when they played peer and near peer competition. It was usually Nole's Defense that got them thr vs equal talent lvl Teams...And there was generally only about 10 teams per year during the 90's that could legit play with the Noles or beat them. Most notably...Miami , So, Yeah, I believe FSU and Clemson make more sense in the SEC than Texas and Oklahoma. But, Texas and Oklahoma were all about money...What its all about now...
The lead is only nine games now Ms Ali 😂 and dwindling every year. Each team has three national championships so I would hardly call that little brother status. Go Noles!
@@bryanfletcher6388 HTF should I know dude do you really think a commenter on youtube would know that? gayturd fans are the dumbasses of the sec I swear
You wouldn’t have liked that slick…Fsu beat UF 8-5-1 during that span…UF would have placed second to a girls school in your own conference the majority of the time.
@@r.guardia9107 hmm well I know the clown college enjoyed only having 2 games to play each season during that time span ( canes and gators ) as the weak little acc was the choice to play in. The great Bobby b ( god rest his soul , such a good man) was quoted saying the acc was much easier for us to win than joining the sec. I will take that 38 -27 all time series advantage Florida has over clown u , so you enjoy that 8-5-1 stretch .
Oh, my bad… That’s your excuse for losing to a girls school with no money? Btw, what happened to the Miami game? Talk about the Sec being so tough….Guess Miami was just too tough….UF just couldn’t handle it any longer..
ESPN has a clause in their media contract that they would add more money to pay for any new schools that are added so it wouldn’t take away from any teams
FSU has always belonged in the SEC. I mean why would UF really care one way or the other? They are still going to play FSU annually anyway either as an OOC game or a conference game. Seems to me making it a conference game would take the rivalry to the next level of hate and that's great for college football.
FSU has ALWAYS belonged in the SEC! Yes, Bobby was talked into joining the ACC by Goins and Sliger. He rationalized that it would be an easier path to the National Championship in the ACC. Which was absolutely the truth considering FSU played for 5 National Championships in 10 years after joining. What most SEC fans of today, younger then 40 anyway, do not understand that this love/hate affair between the SEC and FSU in nothing new. It has been going on since the 50's. In fact at one point UF even supported and lobbied the SEC to add FSU. Georgia did the same. The notion that the SEC does not want to add more teams is nothing new as well. That has always been said by someone in the SEC right before they expand. 😂I offer this as an example, "1966 and 1967, no motion was even made. Florida Head Coach Ray Graves reversed his position on sponsoring Florida State, citing that even though FSU would be a good fit, the current allotment of 10 teams (with Tulane having departed) was perfect, and just what all current SEC teams really need" Gee, does that sound familiar? They have expanded 3 times since then and twice in the last 12 years. I could continue to wax poetic on this subject but i will give y'all a chance to educate yourself. A good start would be the following article I read in 2010 which explains quite a bit. I thought it was originally published in the Tampa Trib but found it on Bleacher Report. bleacherreport.com/articles/389570-the-seminoles-and-the-sec-a-sordid-love-affair Go Noles!
Florida has no respect can’t even name the stadium or field after this man I can’t stand Florida but I got a lot of love and respect for coach Spurrier . Go Noles
The swamp has been named Steve Spurrier field since 2016… but no worries , I don’t know there’s a field named after Bobby Bowden either. If not , there should be…
Have always heard how fsu could not make in the sec and I know they should have joined back when they joined the acc but I believe fsu should accept them and clemson
As an FSU fan I never trust Spurrier to comment even remotely positively towards FSU,so if he gets a lot of ribbing about this interview from his fellows,he'll probably walk it back or say something negative in a follow up...that being said,if he spoke truly and stands by it,that is nice to hear regardless of what happens. Also,he is UFs best coach of all time, not Meyer. Meyer had the stars align for him at UF,everything went right for him and the warts were hidden until he was gone. Spurrier had to go through the 90s FSU teams+ SEC,and he humiliated Peyton Manning teams.
sec/espn deal clearly states espn will pay any new comers the same amount as they are already paying teams in the sec there is no split of the pie lol. once a teams in espn pays more money they do not split it up between the teams.
Well, you have to admit that SEC-type television money would help FSU do better in recruiting, not to mention that Mike Norvell is clearly one of the top 10 coaches in the game. That said, I'd prefer that the ACC stay afloat in CFB, but that would require that the conference somehow bring in a LOT more television money. That's only going to happen if you happen to believe in miracles. I really do not like the idea of two super-conferences and three or four also-rans, but that seems to be where this thing is headed. Ugh.
Texas and Oklahoma BEING GEOGRAPHICALLY IN THE MIDWEST (I meant the southWESTERN) have absolutely no business in the SouthEASTERN conference. This has been my humble opinion brought to you by your friendly neighborhood Rocco 😎
@@al73r3g0 Oklahoma is generally considered part of the Southwest region of the United States. Texas is considered part of the American Southwest by the National Geographic Society. Therefore NOT QUALIFIED to be in the SouthEASTERN conference. Not to mention they bit off way more than they can chew. High school teams playing in the PROFESSIONAL league of the NCAA
FSU had their chance back in 1992 and blew it because Bowden wanted the easy path to compete for National Championships. It seems that is the only thing they value down there. They got a little taste of what the SEC is like in the Orange Bowl last year. You have to show up for all your games even when you are disappointed, like Georgia did.
Crazy that he was at SC for 10 years. Why wouldn’t FSU do well in the SEC. They’ve been playing the best teams since Bowden was coaching. College football is a joke now. Bowl games are a mess compared to what they used to be. I used to love sitting around all New Years Day watching game after game while finishing off the keg.
If you look at TV ratings, then you’d know that FSU would be a top 4 team in TV ratings. That’s excellent ratings while playing in the so called weaker conference. The reality is that Vandy, Kentucky, Miss State, Mizzou, and Auburn will never be able to contribute to the SEC at the same level as FSU. Even on the lowest point of their program’s modern history they net better ratings and are broadcasted in more desirable markets.
@michaelcarroll8570 you're right on FSU having higher TV ratings than those schools but Vandy, Kentucky, Mississippi State and Auburn are all charter members of the SEC. College football and conferences are definitely trying to get more money where they can BUT tradition and pageantry are just as high in the pecking order for College athletics. And kicking out charter members is next to impossible unless those members themselves request to leave which they won't.
Because Steve Spurrier Florida Gators 🐊 always had a losing record vs Bobby Bowden during his tenure that’s why Ole Ball Coach respect FSU so much. Ole Ball Coach couldn’t beat Bobby Bowden especially in the 90’s
Andy Staples said the FSU did not get in the playoff this year because it's conference leader did not complain enough. WRONG. FSU played the 55th weakest schedule and did not deserve it. Georgia crushing FSU confirmed it.
If the SEC wanted Clemson, UNC or FSU, is Vanderbilt, Miss. ST or SC safe? How easy can they kick them out? because as Spurrier said it’s all about money.
The Bowden/Spurrier years were so fantastic.
We were living in the best of times…
Yep
we will never see college football like it used to be
@@6gatornation no doubt, it's sad.
As a Nole, this is the absolute truth. They 90’s FSU-UF was one of the greatest rivalries in all CFB, and the coaches were a huge part of it.

I don’t think there’s a question if fsu/Clemson would do well or compete in the sec. The concern is more about expanding the market of the conference. Furthermore what’s a super conference? Is it defined by number of programs? The more programs you add the more you get away from the purpose of a collegiate conference. It’s really good to see coach Spurrier and that’s coming from a Texas fan.
Coach still looking good, college football is big business!
Spurrier press conferences were legendary.
I do not know if the SEC is the best conference but they sure do treasure football above all. Good to see Coach Spurrier enjoying retirement.
And here is the best college football coach ever and it's not Nick Saban. No one had the schedule this man had and he would put it on u. By the way, it was This man Steve Spurier that was offered the job at Alabama and he turned it down. Nick Saban was their third choice.
As a long-time Gators fan, it pains me to admit this: fsu would do well in the SEC. Probably stronger than they are now because it would be easier to recruit top athletes to play in the SEC than in the ACC.
Good job getting the old ball coach on your show.
Well he did surprise me with that answer but however I think that FSU would struggle especially in the beginning but time will tell glad you had the old ball coach on and go Gators
FSU would do well IF they played like last year. Big IF. The country may be on the way to only four large conferences. Hopefully the SEC stay as is for awhile to see how the current bevy of teams works.
They didn’t replace what they lost in the draft at all. The rest of college football caught up to them in terms of the portal which hurts the recruiting philosophy tremendously. They’ll fall back to what they were before this season
@@djLagwayEnjoyerlol nope keep watching
FSU has improved every year under Mike Norvell...remember we had a 10 win season in 2022. Not such a big "IF" after all....more like a good possibility.
@@jamesb0255 that’s not true. They had a 3-6 season his second year including a horrendously embarrassing loss to Jacksonville state at home. They have improved the last 2 years, but, they were one of the only schools abusing the portal during that time. Look at their portal classes the last two years and compare that to this year. It’s a large fall off.
Good to see the HBC. Great interview Ali !! Why did the chicken cross the road ? To join the ACC !!!
I thought FSU should have been in the SEC back in the mid 90s. FSU plays SEC football...Defense first. They had high flying offenses thru out the 90's except when they played peer and near peer competition. It was usually Nole's Defense that got them thr vs equal talent lvl Teams...And there was generally only about 10 teams per year during the 90's that could legit play with the Noles or beat them. Most notably...Miami , So, Yeah, I believe FSU and Clemson make more sense in the SEC than Texas and Oklahoma. But, Texas and Oklahoma were all about money...What its all about now...
Great interview and coach.
Spurrier has been pro FSU to SEC for years now… This is no surprise
🐊✅🐊‼️
They would not struggle they would be very, very good in the SEC
0:35 correction - Texas is historically ok. Unless of course one is just talking about historical hype. OU is more “very good.”
The lead is only nine games now Ms Ali 😂 and dwindling every year. Each team has three national championships so I would hardly call that little brother status.
Go Noles!
Just to set the record straight for everyone FSU 76 SEC 73, 6 ties and that's including the scrimmage against our 3rd string in the Orange Bowl.
Yo go girl!!!CHOMP CHOMP GO GATORS🐊🐊
FSU should've been in the sec instead of the acc
Then why did fsu run from the chance to join in 1992?
@@bryanfletcher6388 HTF should I know dude do you really think a commenter on youtube would know that? gayturd fans are the dumbasses of the sec I swear
You wouldn’t have liked that slick…Fsu beat UF 8-5-1 during that span…UF would have placed second to a girls school in your own conference the majority of the time.
@@r.guardia9107 hmm well I know the clown college enjoyed only having 2 games to play each season during that time span ( canes and gators ) as the weak little acc was the choice to play in. The great Bobby b ( god rest his soul , such a good man) was quoted saying the acc was much easier for us to win than joining the sec. I will take that 38 -27 all time series advantage Florida has over clown u , so you enjoy that 8-5-1 stretch .
Oh, my bad… That’s your excuse for losing to a girls school with no money?
Btw, what happened to the Miami game? Talk about the Sec being so tough….Guess Miami was just too tough….UF just couldn’t handle it any longer..
ESPN has a clause in their media contract that they would add more money to pay for any new schools that are added so it wouldn’t take away from any teams
FSU has always belonged in the SEC. I mean why would UF really care one way or the other? They are still going to play FSU annually anyway either as an OOC game or a conference game. Seems to me making it a conference game would take the rivalry to the next level of hate and that's great for college football.
FSU has ALWAYS belonged in the SEC! Yes, Bobby was talked into joining the ACC by Goins and Sliger. He rationalized that it would be an easier path to the National Championship in the ACC. Which was absolutely the truth considering FSU played for 5 National Championships in 10 years after joining.
What most SEC fans of today, younger then 40 anyway, do not understand that this love/hate affair between the SEC and FSU in nothing new. It has been going on since the 50's. In fact at one point UF even supported and lobbied the SEC to add FSU. Georgia did the same.
The notion that the SEC does not want to add more teams is nothing new as well. That has always been said by someone in the SEC right before they expand. 😂I offer this as an example, "1966 and 1967, no motion was even made. Florida Head Coach Ray Graves reversed his position on sponsoring Florida State, citing that even though FSU would be a good fit, the current allotment of 10 teams (with Tulane having departed) was perfect, and just what all current SEC teams really need" Gee, does that sound familiar? They have expanded 3 times since then and twice in the last 12 years.
I could continue to wax poetic on this subject but i will give y'all a chance to educate yourself. A good start would be the following article I read in 2010 which explains quite a bit. I thought it was originally published in the Tampa Trib but found it on Bleacher Report.
bleacherreport.com/articles/389570-the-seminoles-and-the-sec-a-sordid-love-affair
Go Noles!
Virginia & North Carolina would be close behind I think... BIG MARKETS.
Wow I actually disagree with the Ole Ball coach for a change.
BTW Texas & OU are much bigger programs across the board than FSU & Clemson.
Period!
Florida has no respect can’t even name the stadium or field after this man I can’t stand Florida but I got a lot of love and respect for coach Spurrier . Go Noles
The swamp has been named Steve Spurrier field since 2016… but no worries , I don’t know there’s a field named after Bobby Bowden either. If not , there should be…
Have always heard how fsu could not make in the sec and I know they should have joined back when they joined the acc but I believe fsu should accept them and clemson
Asked how to win on the road. Bring a good team
I agree the realignment is ruining College Football and the Rivals
As an FSU fan I never trust Spurrier to comment even remotely positively towards FSU,so if he gets a lot of ribbing about this interview from his fellows,he'll probably walk it back or say something negative in a follow up...that being said,if he spoke truly and stands by it,that is nice to hear regardless of what happens. Also,he is UFs best coach of all time, not Meyer. Meyer had the stars align for him at UF,everything went right for him and the warts were hidden until he was gone. Spurrier had to go through the 90s FSU teams+ SEC,and he humiliated Peyton Manning teams.
sec/espn deal clearly states espn will pay any new comers the same amount as they are already paying teams in the sec there is no split of the pie lol. once a teams in espn pays more money they do not split it up between the teams.
Excellent interview Peek
Well, you have to admit that SEC-type television money would help FSU do better in recruiting, not to mention that Mike Norvell is clearly one of the top 10 coaches in the game. That said, I'd prefer that the ACC stay afloat in CFB, but that would require that the conference somehow bring in a LOT more television money. That's only going to happen if you happen to believe in miracles. I really do not like the idea of two super-conferences and three or four also-rans, but that seems to be where this thing is headed. Ugh.
Always great to hear from the HBC
Until Florida gets Napier out of there, they will never come close to competing in the SEC for a championship.
It probably will never happen but I believe Vandy needs to move on from The SEC. Just my opinion.
sec should add: miami, fsu, clemson, unc (20 teams)...B1G should add nd & stanford (20 teams)...than you have your 40 team nfl light
I wanted FSU to be in our conference along time ago They always had it too easy
Yea, they did…Too bad UF could never take advantage of it…
Spurs should be the new UF president. He's the most important man in the history of the school.
We play them every year so it's not much different than it has been. Fla State and Clemson make more sense than OK and Texas as far as travel
HBC should run the SEC! Go gators!!
There is only one beautiful Gator and Ali is it 😅
I think Steve’s losing his mind, it would be a tough road to the playoffs for them! Good luck 😮!
Gators with Sunbelt Billie winning the SEC…Funny. Geaux Tigers!
FSU needs to wait until 2 super conferences form which could take many years.
Texas and Oklahoma BEING GEOGRAPHICALLY IN THE MIDWEST (I meant the southWESTERN) have absolutely no business in the SouthEASTERN conference.
This has been my humble opinion brought to you by your friendly neighborhood Rocco 😎
Midwest?
@@al73r3g0
Oklahoma is generally considered part of the Southwest region of the United States. Texas is considered part of the American Southwest by the National Geographic Society.
Therefore NOT QUALIFIED to be in the SouthEASTERN conference.
Not to mention they bit off way more than they can chew. High school teams playing in the PROFESSIONAL league of the NCAA
FSU had their chance back in 1992 and blew it because Bowden wanted the easy path to compete for National Championships. It seems that is the only thing they value down there. They got a little taste of what the SEC is like in the Orange Bowl last year. You have to show up for all your games even when you are disappointed, like Georgia did.
FSU has lost 5 of 6 to NC State and just broke a 3 game skid to the Deacs so I don't know about this move. The grass ain't always greener as they say.
Crazy that he was at SC for 10 years. Why wouldn’t FSU do well in the SEC. They’ve been playing the best teams since Bowden was coaching. College football is a joke now. Bowl games are a mess compared to what they used to be. I used to love sitting around all New Years Day watching game after game while finishing off the keg.
If you look at TV ratings, then you’d know that FSU would be a top 4 team in TV ratings. That’s excellent ratings while playing in the so called weaker conference. The reality is that Vandy, Kentucky, Miss State, Mizzou, and Auburn will never be able to contribute to the SEC at the same level as FSU. Even on the lowest point of their program’s modern history they net better ratings and are broadcasted in more desirable markets.
@michaelcarroll8570 you're right on FSU having higher TV ratings than those schools but Vandy, Kentucky, Mississippi State and Auburn are all charter members of the SEC. College football and conferences are definitely trying to get more money where they can BUT tradition and pageantry are just as high in the pecking order for College athletics. And kicking out charter members is next to impossible unless those members themselves request to leave which they won't.
the old ball coach!!
FSU deserves to be in the SEC.
Because Steve Spurrier Florida Gators 🐊 always had a losing record vs Bobby Bowden during his tenure that’s why Ole Ball Coach respect FSU so much. Ole Ball Coach couldn’t beat Bobby Bowden especially in the 90’s
honey.... bless your heart you're tryin
Andy Staples said the FSU did not get in the playoff this year because it's conference leader did not complain enough. WRONG. FSU played the 55th weakest schedule and did not deserve it. Georgia crushing FSU confirmed it.
It's ok Ali and you uf fans. Even though the HBC Visor Warrior gave praise to FSU, FSU is going to the B10. Move along...
If the SEC wanted Clemson, UNC or FSU, is Vanderbilt, Miss. ST or SC safe? How easy can they kick them out? because as Spurrier said it’s all about money.
