Mr Francois seems to be following in Crab Legs Winstons footsteps.

Hope it's really not true that he beat her so much she had a miscarriage.

My sister told me about that. {she never misses a chance to talk bad about the Noles, yet I hold my nose and let her come over to watch the Bronco's, who wear orange and blue}

It looks like Willie won't tolerate bad behavior like Jimbo did. I'm glad to see it. Too often if the player is good enough, he can get away with anything.

The fact he is a drop back passer, and Willie is a hurry up coach made it easier I'm sure.

willie doesn't have any problems there. the talent pool at FSU is huge no matter who's the coach. will take him a bit, but they'll be tops in the ACC with clemson soon enough.

Three wins brings up back to .500 in the ACC. Slightly better in AP and Coaches Polls, NET, Ken Pom and bracketology. But the big talk in Tally is the odds of us landing Ant Man. Seems he's the #2 high school player in the county, and still has FSU on his short list.

He will be at the game on Saturday and make his decision public on Monday.

As he gets his coaches sorted, and players who are suited to his game, we will return to the winning ways. But Clemson is on a roll right now.

i'm a clemson grad so i'm a bit a biased but dabo has figured out to win there all the time. hire good coaches for def and off ,pay them a bunch and be one helluva recruiter.

Keeping your coaches are key. I don't really follow FSU football like I do hoops, but I see Willie is still tweaking his staff.

I never made it to FSU. Joined the Navy after Chipola Jr College. But we were pretty bad back then anyway. Games were on the radio more often than not. I did listen when it was possible. Later on my neighbor had 4 seats on the 50 yard line. Went to a lot of games to drive her. But my work is mainly on weekends, so had to stop since it was costing me money.

FSU hoops and F1 are the only sports I plan my time around these days. I have my Dish set to record them both automatically. F1 is always Friday, Saturday and Sunday, {except for Quiet Day in Monaco} so it's easy. Hoops is on so many different channels, or not on TV at all, so you have to stay on top of it.

Oh well. It was a fun few days dreaming. But Ant Man is not taking his official visit on Saturday and it looks like he's going to sign with UGA.

We did steamroll the Orangemen though. Got a 22 point lead, let it get down to one point, then did it again. Fi made himself some {future} money. He was 4-4 from 3. Some of them real long range.

Chris Mack has the Card's playing well. They are 8-4 in the ACC while the Noles are just now getting back above .500 at 5-4. Vegas has us by 2 and KenPom had them by 1. Here's the game thread.

Coach Ham's pre-game comments and Gene's call. {it's on now, sorry I was so tardy in posting}

It's good to be playing at home. We really need to keep climbing the ladder. The game is on ESPN2 at 3:00 Central.

If I were to say Phil Cofer, PJ Savoy, and Christ Koumadje {3 of FSU's 5 starters} combined for zero points, you would naturally think we got our asses handed to us. At times it looked like that might happen, but. . . .

Fi came up big again today. Led with 22 points. He has just the right amount of swagger. {he's the nephew of Mutombo}

It's hard to express how poorly we shot in the first half. We were cold, but the Card's D is for real. Our D, especially in 2nd half and OT is what won this game for us. Between turnovers and OR's, we had 20 extra possessions. And needed everyone of them.

Fi and Mann both had huge games. But Trent did some stat sheet stuffing of his own.

He had 15 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists and 5 steals. All while still dealing with turf toe.

I missed posting a couple of games. The Big Fellow {CK} showed up at Wake. Fi played well, but didn't get as many minutes as usual. CK got his first double double, 22/12.

The main guys got some rest in the form of playing time for the walk-ons. The so called Green Team. {someone on the game thread called them the All White Team} For the non basketball folks, the walk-ons main job is to "play" the other team in practice. So with each game, they have to learn a new offense and defense. Very rarely do they ever see the court, so it was neat as hell to see them out there. Moon Shadow* even had a nasty dunk.

*not a walk-on, just a seldom used freshman

Saturday's game against Georgia Tech was a logistical nightmare for me. We were on the road and scanning for stations. Glad it was another blowout. Walk-ons got more PT, and another Moon Shadow dunk.

The guys showed flashes of Ham's old Junkyard Dog D. Our best game in several years as far as the numbers go.

Another big game for the Big Fellow. Fi got more rest as CK was hot and played more than usual.
