FSU Humiliated by Louisville & I have had ENOUGH of This ADMIN Not CARING about Seminoles Football · ACC Football Addiction (Atlantic Coast Conference)

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: 1,050 days. That's how long it's been since Florida State
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: won a road game. 4-15. That's FSU's ACC record the
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: last three years, 24-25, and now here in 26. Mike
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: Norvell and the Florida State Seminoles fall to Louisville 44-20.
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: That 44-20 score is somewhat deceiving because to start this game,
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: the Seminoles were dominating. They led 14-0. They had a
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: drive down to the Louisville two-yard line. And one thing
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: goes wrong and the bottom completely falls out. TJ Pittenger

• 0:57
  Speaker 1: I did a live watch along last night for the game.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: It might be the first one I've ever done over
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: on Double Fries No Slaw. I'll link that channel here
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: so that you can go back and watch it if
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: you want. It got a little rowdy afterwards because I
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: was certainly not thrilled with the way that things continue
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: to go at Florida State. And I want to talk
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: about the game. I want to talk about big picture.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: And then I want to get off here and enjoy
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: actual good football tonight. As a Florida State fan, we've
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: gotten very little of that over the last couple of years.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: We did certainly get a glimmer of it. We got
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: a glimpse of it against Alabama last year when Florida
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: State fooled everyone into thinking that they were a good team.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: They started that season 3-0. But since then, the good
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: has certainly far been outweighed by the bad. And last night,
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: when they weren't able to get that fourth down, a
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: lot of people think they should have kicked the field goal.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: I want to very much go on record and say
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: that Mike Norvell and this program are losers. And the
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: administration at Florida State has allowed them to become losers.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: But it really did not matter if Florida State kicked
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: the field goal there. Got the fourth down to go
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: up 21-0. 14-0, 21-0, 17-0 if they just kicked the
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: field goal. All of it was the same. Louisville was
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: going to win this game. In fact, they were always
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: going to win this game for a couple of reasons.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: Number one, it was on the road. Florida State, over
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: the last three years under Mike Norvell, has shown a
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: very consistent pattern. In fact, you can set your watch
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: by it. There is nothing more consistent than a Mike
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: Norvell team falling apart on the road in a football game.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: In fact, they've never not done that. They are, what's
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: the opposite of undefeated? Defeated. They are conquered, to use
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: a similar word, when they go on the road. They
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: cannot find a way to win. It doesn't matter who
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: they play. They could play Stanford. They can play Duke.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: They can play Louisville, who was reeling going into this game.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: They can play Florida, who was a three-win team last
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: year in Gainesville, had just gotten blown out by Tennessee,
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: and it does not matter. They always find a way
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: to fall apart on the road. One week from today,
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: they will fall apart on the road again. I'd imagine
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: it happens much earlier than it happened tonight. It might
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: happen later. Florida State very well could go down to
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: Miami and have something like a 10-0 lead. Maybe they
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: get the opening kickoff and Mike Scripps up a drive.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: Maybe from there, they surprise onside kick, get a short field,
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: kick a field goal, go up 10-0. And I can
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: guarantee you that if Mario Cristobal wants to, they will
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: score 50 points on the Florida State Seminoles defense because
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: it is atrocious. Last night, Louisville had 400 yards rushing.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: AI tells me that that's only happened twice in history.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: once against Georgia Tech running the triple option, and then
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: once back in the 70s. 400 yards rushing. Now, I
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: will say, little silver lining there for Mike Norvell, so
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: he doesn't officially make history. They did kneel the ball
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: down with two minutes to go a couple of times,
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: and that brought them just behind 400. Sorry, so only
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: give up 397 on the stat sheet. If you watched
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: the game, you understand that they were above 400 before
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: those kneel downs. Louisville nut the ball down. They could
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: have scored more. They could have put over 50 on you.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: You were not stopping them. They were an absolute knife
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: through hot butter. The mental composure of this team, this program,
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: this administration, honestly, this fan base that deservedly so is
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: melting down over the fact that Mike Norvell, as of 7.57 a.m.,
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: is still their coach, is completely shot. The trust in
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: the administration, the trust in Seminole Boosters, the trust in
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: the president, in the board of trustees, and certainly the
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: trust in this god-awful staff. It is all eroded. It
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: is all gone. I've seen more tweets this morning about
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: canceling people's booster membership, not paying another dime, not buying
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: another piece of gear, not getting another outfit, not going
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: to another game, not tuning in and watching them on TV.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: I've seen more of that this year than I've ever seen.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: I've seen more of it just over the last... 16 hours,
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: 15 hours that I've seen in quite a long time.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: Florida State is at an absolute crossroads. And I could
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: talk about the game and we could go line by line.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: What you need to know is that whether you think
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: it was the right decision, the wrong decision to kick
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: that field goal or go for it on fourth down,
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: it did not matter. This team is coached by a loser.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: This program is run by losers. who put their hands
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: into too many things. This team, I think they're mostly
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: good kids. They're full of losers. Three stars and kids
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: that could not cut it at other Power 4 programs
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: with the status of Florida State, and they lose games.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: I'm telling you, it did not matter if Florida State
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: was up 21. I don't think it would have mattered
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: if they were up 28. Louisville went on a 44-6 run.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: The final score might have looked a little prettier, but
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: let me tell you something. This is exactly what Florida
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: State needed. They need to be embarrassed every single week
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: until this administration that does not seem to have a
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: clue will make the right decision and move on from
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: Mike Norvell. I will just quickly give a shout-out to
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: our Top 25 poll. If you haven't seen that, go
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: to cfatop25. com. I hate the AP poll almost as much
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: as I hate what they've done to my football program.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: You can vote in the CFA poll. and we'll get
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: a better poll going than the AP is. Eventually, I'd
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: like to just reference this instead of the AP poll
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: every week. You'll find out it's a lot of fun.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: It is free. You just log in, create an account.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: In about three seconds, you can put your email in,
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: and you can vote on the top 25 teams. I've
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: gathered some media that I really trust, too, some national
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: guys that watch all the games, not just a local
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: beat writer that's on a college campus for 10 hours,
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: but guys that actually watch all the football games online
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: Go check it out, cfatop25. com. You would hope that over
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: this weekend, at some point, or first thing Monday morning,
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: Florida State will make the tough decision, the very easy decision,
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: but the tough financial decision to move on from Mike Norvell.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: We'll see if they do that. At the end of
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: the day, if the decision makers and the power brokers
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: that run this program do not care enough about FSU football,
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: do not even come close to caring about it as
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: much as the fans do, as much as the boosters do,
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: as much as the people who love this program, who
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: are still wearing FSU gear the Saturday after an embarrassing
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: Friday night road performance. If the people in charge don't
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: care as much as us, it will never change. Nothing's
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: ever going to get any better. Nothing's ever going to
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: get any different. We will continue to be faked out
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: and fooled and juked and absolutely run amok. after games
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: like Virginia last week. I probably went on five or
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: six shows throughout the week, whether it was Louisville people
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: previewing it, whether it was just national shows where people
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: had me on to talk about the Seminoles, whether it
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: was radio in Nashville with Bill King. And people asked,
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: was that Virginia game something of a turnaround? And I said, listen,
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: if Mike Norvell has been one thing for his entire career,
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: he has been inconsistent. 13 wins one year to two
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: the very next year. The only thing you can count
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: on is Mike Norvell not duplicating performances, and they lost
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: in a very new way last year. They had a
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: defense that was rolling. They had an offense that was rolling.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: They had things rolling, and they had Louisville up against
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: the ropes. Louisville had lost three games coming into this game.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: They were 0-2 in their last two ACC games. They
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: were an absolute dumpster fire. Their defense is atrocious. Their
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: offense had a quarterback that was banged up, a running
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: back that was averaging nine yards a carry who could
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: not play, and you still could not hold on to
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: a two-score lead with a ball on their two-yard line
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: going in for a third score. I talked about the
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: mental composure of this team, of this staff, of this administration.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: As soon as one thing goes wrong, they absolutely wilt.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: They have no mental composure. They have no I think
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: the effort is not really what I want to call
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: out as much. It's just the fact that they have
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: no confidence. They have no confidence in their coach. They
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: can say they do all they want. They can say
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: they're playing for his job. They can say they're playing
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: because he's a good guy or they like him. I
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: don't care. I don't care how good of a guy
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: he is. I don't care about the GPA of the program.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: I'm not standing outside of their classrooms cheering them on
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: as they take tests. We didn't come here to play school.
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: We honestly built this program to win football games. And
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: Mike Norvell does not do that enough. Mike Norvell is
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: not a good coach. He should not be employed by
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: Florida State University. He should get that buyout very, very soon.
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: But we'll see if Florida State has any balls to
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: do that. As of now, 8 a.m. on Saturday morning,
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: after another embarrassing loss where you get blown out, In
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: a game you were dominating, it's not enough. Losing to
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: Duke for the first time in program history is not enough.
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: Two wins is not enough. Five and seven to follow
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: that up, not enough. Three and six your first year,
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: not enough. Five and seven your second year, not enough.
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: And now staring down the barrel of another losing season,
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: I wonder if it's enough. He finds a new way
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: to embarrass this program four times in his tenure. They've
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: been scored. There's been 50 points put up on him.
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: He continues to set records. He continues to show what
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: a loser he is, what a loser this program is
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: under him. And as an FSU fan, supporter, booster, I
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: drink out of an FSU coffee cup every day. I
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: wear the clothes. I drank out of something a little
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: stronger last night that was FSU. I just, I can't
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: take it anymore. I've screamed and yelled and cussed and
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: been frustrated. And at the end of the day, I
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: care more than the people in charge. And until that changes,
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: until Peter Collins stops sending me marketing emails for political candidates,
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: until Richard McCullough starts giving a damn about football, none
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: of it is ever going to change. And I have
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: no clue what they're going to do, when they're going
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: to do it. They're probably pretty soon going to make
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: some kind of announcement. That announcement, hopefully, is that they're
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: going to fire him. But I've got no clue. It
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: could be that they have faith in him and they're
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: going to bring him back. I've got no idea. I
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: don't think this administration really cares about the football product.
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: I'll teach you. How can you say that? How can
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: you say they don't care? Look at their actions. Don't
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: tell me what you believe. Show me. And they've shown
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: me that they do not care. When Richard McCullough was hired,
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: he said he didn't care about football. Didn't go on
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: record and say that. Didn't go on record and say, hey,
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to do anything for our football program.
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: But he said that in private meetings. He said athletics
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: was not his focus. He's obviously very worried about acquiring
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: a hospital. And a lot of things academically, I got
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: no problem with any of that. That's not why I
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: give money. I think the well is going to dry up.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: I think people are going to stop donating if they
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: continue to invest in a product that's terrible. And guess what? Good.
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: They should stop giving. They should stop doing all of that.
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: You don't invest in a product that you know is
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: terrible and you know is miserable. You move on and
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: you do better things with your time and money and
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: effort and energy. It is an absolute disgrace what they've
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: done to this football program. And when they put Coach
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: Bowden in the ground, I think they buried the standard
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: of FSU football with it because it is completely eroded.
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: It is completely gone. And until people get in power
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: and in leadership positions that care about the standard at FSU,
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: it will never change. Let me know your thoughts down
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: in the comments. I'm exasperated. I'm tired. I'm ready to
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: get on with this regime, all with this program. and
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: I'm ready to watch real good football today that's not
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: coached by Mike Norvell. There is a lot of it,
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: so I do appreciate that. Make sure you are on
