Mickey Andrews deserves a farewell chant!

November, 21st, 2009. That will likely be Mickey Andrews’ last game as the FSU Defensive Coordinator. I feel it would only be appropriate that a “Mickey Andrews” chant should echo through Doak Campbell Stadium during the final home game this year against the Maryland Terrapins. If anyone else is interested, I would love to sit in the same general area as others for the final home game, with the sole intention of starting a “Mickey Andrews” chant towards the end of the game.

Obviously everyone is hung up about the Bobby Bowden situation right now. But regardless of whether you think he should stay or go, there is no question that Mickey should be sent off on a high note. The man could have left to be a head coach at many other schools during the 20+ years he spent here. Instead he stayed loyal to FSU, and is largely responsible for the unprecedented success FSU had throughout the 80’s and 90’s.

I don’t know if the best way to insure this chant takes place is to start a facebook group, gather a few people from Tomahak Nation, or simply start it myself and hope others join in. But I do feel this gesture towards Mickey is unquestionably warranted. Years from now, when Bobby is no longer around the program, people will reminisce about how Bowden turned the program into a powerhouse. Many casual fans will forget that Mickey Andrews’ role was tremendous in our success. For these reasons, let’s show the man that we do appreciate all he’s done for us as fans!
