Seminoles’ Comments The future looks good with Jimbo Fisher. Give them another year to start competing with UF. I'm still mad about them not giving Bobby that final year to do a goodwill tour while Fisher basically ran the football team. I've been a Nole since before I was conceived, but reality dictates that two years from now (with Heisman winner E.J. Manuel at the helm) will be our best shot at a national title. F.S.U. has a great opportunity to be a very good team this year, however, it may be up to depth in the defense. Can they be healthy most of the year?? Ticket Prices are too high. Rows and seats are too close together. Attached seats are a pain in the butt. Too many people want to stand up the whole game. Parking is unreal. Too many games scheduled (dictated) by TV at unfavorable times. FSU is a year or two away from returning to the Bowden glory years.

Will Tim Tebow become a starting quarterback in the NFL?

Will Christian Ponder win the Heisman Trophy?
