miami and florida state, i wanna see this rivalry get back on track...
i think the 2009 nfl draft will be the first in a while with no miami players drafted in the first round...
3. Florida State vs. Miami – - Miami leads the overall series 30-21. During the 1980s and 90s, the series emerged as perhaps the premier rivalry in college football. Between 1983 and 2002, the Hurricanes and Seminoles combined to win 7 national championships (5 for Miami, 2 for Florida State) and play in a whopping 14 national championship games. The rivalry was a television ratings bonanza, accounting for the two highest rated college football telecasts in ESPN history. The 2006 game between Miami and FSU was the most-viewed college football game, regular season or bowl, in the history of ESPN, averaging 6,330,000 million households in viewership (6.9 rating). It was also the second-highest rated game in ESPN history, behind only the 1994 game between Miami and FSU, which notched a 7.7 rating.
Damn striaght I want to see both schools get back on top so that it would be the great rivalry it once was. I believe that once Bowden retires, FSU will be on it's way to getting back to where it once was, if Jimbo Fisher is a good head coach.
Randy Shannon is great at recruiting and preaches teamwork, but he isn't a proven head coach. I do respect the man and he's the right man for the job, but he needs to prove he's a head coach. I believe that he will be a decent head coach. He made a mistake on promoting his friend, Walton, to the Defensive Cord. He was horrible at this and was fired becausde of this. So he replaced him with Bill Young, who's one of the best D-Cords in the business. He made something out of nothing at Kansas. Plus he ranked in a top recruiting class with both bluechip players and 2 and 3 star players. Butch Davis wasn't a good game day coach, but he knew how to hire the right staff and recruit great players. Almost every player from 2001 to 2004 was Butch Davis. Jimmy Johnson was a decent head coach, but knew how to maximize the most out of his players.
Yes, this might be the first year we won't have a player drafted in the first round. Unless Javariss James has a great year and Sam ''Sticky'' Shields gets his shit together and if Anthonny Reddick has a great year even with his 2 ACL surgeries.
As a coach, i feel he is not up to par. However, he is a fantastic recruiter.
Ty recruited all those players that Charlie the Fraud Weiss won with. Seriously, Ty needs to work as a recruiting cordinator at a different school and stay away from coaching.
