The Final Score: Florida State Seminoles 62 - Jacksonville State 35

In less than 23 hours and 30 minutes, the Jacksonville State 'Cocks will rear their ugly heads, 

Cocky

and also the ugly head of the 'Cocks ugly mascot Cocky, here in Tallahassee.  Please do not confuse this Cocky with the other 'Cocks Cocky.   I am refering of course to the University of South Carolina 'Cocks more famous mascot, also named Cocky.  (It feel's like 5th grade all over again). 

Before we get to the upcoming game, I am just wondering if everyone else had the same type of miserable week as I had.  Every cane I have ever known must have crawled out of the walls and out from the baseboards, like the roaches they are, to call or email just to see how I was doing, oh and by the way they would ask, did I happened to catch the game, and then proceed to tell me how da u was back.   I am very thankful it was a short week, but it was not a fun week at all, nor will it be a fun year, especially  whenever I see these "special scUM" friends. 

Later in this story, I will share a personal email sent to me by one of my scUM friends, and while it is spiteful, mean, and hurtful to us Nole's, it is still pretty funny even in defeat.  I am saving this email in hopes that I can change the wording and use it on my Gaturd friends, should there happen to be a miracle in the putrid swamp come the last weekend in November.

All week I've had this sick feeling, not because of the insults being hurled my way, but because I felt like my team had kicked me in the gut once again.  But even worse, you the readers of Tomahawk Nation really let me down because I was forced to present the first Shiny Award of the 2009 FSU Football Season, for having the closest prediction of the final score, to a cane.  That was just adding insult to injury.

Which brings us to this week's game against the 'Cocks.  FSUncensored will present his final preview and analysis shortly.  However, we are very eager to learn what the most knowledgeable Nole experts on any of the FSU boards expect the final score to be for this game.  Once again, the grand prize will be a Shiny Award which will be given for the closest prediction (not spread) to the final score.  At the end of the season, the reader (or author) with the most Shiny Awards will receive a very large shiny prize.

Here is what us self-proclaimed experts from the Tomahawk Nation staff are predicting as this weeks final score.

I  think most of us agree that we can't afford to have a letdown or a poor showing this week, that we have put last week's defensive crap fest behind us and prove we have moved on.  Also, I am confident and I think most of us will agree, that FSU will beat those 'Cocks real good (last one I promise).

Oh yeah, and here is the copy of one of the email's I mentioned that I received from one of my scUM friends.  This is just a small sampling of how my week went, and what I can expect for about the next 12 months or so.

WHY, OH WHY DO YOU PUT ME THROUGH THIS NOLES?

Subject: Dead Man Found in River

Frank, Saw this in the newspaper this morning and thought of you. Very sad story. 

The Lexington, KY Police Department reports finding a man's body in the Kentucky River,  just west of the Clay's Ferry  Bridge . The dead man's name will not be released until his family has been notified.

The victim apparently drowned due to excessive alcohol consumption. He was wearing black fishnet stockings, a red garter belt, a strap-on d*ld*, and an FSU t-shirt. He also had a cucumber stuffed up his anus....

The police removed the FSU t-shirt to spare his family any unnecessary embarrassment. 

 I have the feeling it's going to be a long year. 

IF YOU CARE TO CONTRIBUTE TO THIS STORY, WE ARE VERY INTERESTED IN KNOWING WHAT YOUR PREDICTION OF THE FINAL SCORE FOR THIS VERY IMPORTANT BOUNCE BACK GAME IS.

 Remember a Shiny Award is at stake for the closest prediction.
