Recently while reading Andrew Carter's Chopping Block, I came across this post titled ’99 Seminoles: Best team in ACC history? in which AC analyzed another blog entry written by Andrew Jones of Buster Sports counting down the All-Time 10 top teams in ACC history.
In his countdown ACC Gridiron Legends, Mr. Jones proclaimed the ‘99 Noles as the All Time #1 team in ACC History, followed by the ‘93 Noles in second place. Here are Mr. Jones’ All-Time ACC Top 10 Teams.
1. 1999 Florida State
2. 1993 Florida State
3. 1981 Clemson
4. 1990 Georgia Tech
5. 1953 Maryland
6. 1992 Florida State
7. 1955 Maryland
8. 1996 Florida State
9. 1997 Florida State
10. 1998 Florida State
Since I had the privilege to witness first hand the road these two teams took to becoming the National Champions, I thought it might be fun to see if the TomahawkNation members wanted to jump into the '93 vs '99 debate. I will present pertinent information on both of these FSU National Championship teams, and ask you the TN readers to settle this debate once and for all. Unless of course you would rather discuss the appeal some more and in greater detail.

Getting Ready for 2009!!! A preview of the wide receivers. A group loaded with talent but yet still have to prove themselves. Reed, Easterling, Fortson, Goodman, Givens, and Piurowski. Go Noles!!
No Playmakers? Think again!
Glades Central CB Greg Dent to camp at FSU
Yes! Dent is a beast of a CB. He is tearing up the camp circuit at the position. Miami has already offered. Tomahawk Nation is very happy about this. Let's hope he impresses and gets an offer. If he performs, he could mess up many mock classes.

Loss of additional scholarships not likely for Florida State
NCAA spokesperson Stacey Osburn said the Infractions Appeals Committee does not have the power to increase existing penalties or levy new ones against Florida State. If the appeals committee reversed the vacation-of-victories penalty, it could not, for instance, cut more scholarships.
While this has been my position all along, I do acknowledge some others here who have said that the NCAA "reserves the right to do so."
While anything is possible, this does make me feel a little more comfortable, but I am still anxious to put this miserable PR nightmare to bed once and for all. However, let us remember the NCAA can and will do whatever they feel like doing, because they think of themselves as invincible.

The Road to Eligibility

[Written by SWFLNole]
With Willie Downs and C.J. Mizell not making it to campus this year FSU again doesn't complete a recruiting class through enrollment. This is a hot button issue with FSU fans, because the team South and East of us seem to always make sure they get their players eligible. A 90% enrollment rate is still pretty good, however. I want to talk a little bit about the eligibility process and how it works for the students. Because there is only so much that is important for the average fan, I will focus solely on Public/Private school and disregard the home school students (Insert Tebow SAT joke). Also it will focus on D1 only; D2 has a whole different set of standards that are lower.
First of all a student must have completed 16 core classes:
"4 years of English.
3 years of mathematics (Algebra I or higher).
2 years of natural/physical science (1 year of lab if offered by high school).
1 year of additional English, mathematics or natural/physical science.
2 years of social science.
4 years of additional courses (from any area above, foreign language or non-doctrinal religion/philosophy)."

Florida State Alumni & Supporters Release Response to FSU's Response to NCAA COI's Response to FSU's Appeal

As I sit here writing this, a mixture of emotions are running through me. Emotions like embarassment, shock, horror, and disbelief. Each day I watch FSU's name being dragged through the mud in a sequence of appeals that serve absolutely no purpose other than to protect the win's of an 80+ year old egotist. Today, it was FSU's response to the COI's response to FSU's appeal (download the document and read the comments in the comment section of an excellent former appellate lawyer here).
Even on his way out the door, we are once again subjected to the enormous middle-finger of TK as he barrels down a selfish path with no reservations or thought given to the University whatsoever. Just when we thought we had seen it all, from the Jeff Bowden debacle along with the fall of the Dynasty right down to the biggest academic cheating scandal in the history of FSU (under TK's watch) here we have yet another blatant example of stupidity and ignorance.
I was waiting for the punch line there on page 19 of the "reponse" when we actually compared our current punishment to a hypothetical ban on the post-season, which will by far outweigh ANY current punishment we have received would actually be more FAIR to the University than taking away a few wins from an old man who doesn't even coach anymore. I mean that is a joke right? To even make the comparison is dangerous public relations, as an FSU opponent could suggest that the FSU appeals team is seriously suggesting that just that- forfeiting hundreds of thousands of dollars in revenue, (much less national exposure for future recruiting) is a worthy price tag for the pride of a man who has been milking the University for every penny he can get for the better part of this decade...
Time to step away from the keyboard for a second before I owe my workplace a new monitor.
