no new outlets reporting on dorsey yet?

It's possible they don't want to burned like Matt Elam.
Urban Meyer has an in-home with Dorsey today, so anything could happen with the best recruiter in college football in your home.
SCALP 'EM SEMINOLES!
I am going to listen to Jeff Cameron for a little more info.
Hopefully he will talk about it.
Go Noles!!
Couple things
Cobbled together from a few sources:
“Though, the first report from Senior Bowl practice noted that Rolle was "rusty" and that his "footwork was inconsistent." The National Football Post added some positive news about Rolle’s physical condition. Wes Bunting noted that he had "by far the most chiseled body of the day" and came in at a shade over 6′1″ and weighed 217 pounds. While he probably won’t go in the top 50 of April’s draft, Rolle could end up being a quality contributor in the NFL.”
Myron’s Site:
“On Monday afternoon the South Team held their first practice. Myron did very well according to the feedback he received from the NFL Teams in attendance, in his first action back on the football field since the Champs Sports Bowl in 2008 for the Noles’. He had an interception on 1 on 1’s and one scout told him after practice that "he looked physical and had really good feet".”
Raven’s Scout:
“By the way, they must have a heck of a workout program at Oxford because Myron Rolle was the most impressive physique BY FAR”
"He went into this whole spiel about Shaolin monks or something like that, how we need to be like Shaolin monks and how they don't talk for 15 years and stuff." - Caz Piurowski about Coach Coley
yes
Mangum would not have seen the field.
Not sure how many more games we would have won. Anywhere from 0-2, but our defense would have been better. Still a poor defense, but not nearly as bad.

I was kinda surprised by something I saw on Myron
One site I was reading gave Myron a “2” for intangibles, with 1 being the best. It has like a paragraph saying he won the Rhodes Scholarship, opened clincis, etc. Except for maybe shooting laserbeams from his d!ck, I’m not sure what else someone can do to get the top grade in that category.

on field leadership and passion
i loved rolle but they might not see that passion in him that some of the better players have. possibly evidenced by the fact he went to oxford. i’m not saying that was the wrong decision but he clearly picked that over football so it probably keeps him from getting a “1” for intangibles.
2010 AD = 1 AB for FSU
I see your point
I think Myron is a leader. But I can only base that off what I see and the quotes I read. It seemed like he commanded his teammates respect. Either way, you’re probably right in your reasoning.

Does anyone know if Oregon offered little Dungy?
And if so, is it a greyshirt or a regular scholly?
Make sure Meyer is not carrying bag full of money with him
" Fisher’s approach to building a winner is lifted from Saban’s playbook. Right down to the terminology such as becoming more "process oriented" as opposed to "results oriented."
" Nick and I are friends," he said. "That guy is one of the best football coaches I’ve ever been around. God knows he’s brilliant. … A lot of the things he believes are a lot of things I believe. We’re very similar!
The process begins!
More than likely Will Tye
Isn’t Werner in Ft. Lauderdale for the world game
Hmm yes that's possible
I’m not sure how many practice days they have for that or what his exact situation is

What NFL offense do you think Ponder would work best in?
You're so wise. You're like a miniature Buddha, covered in hair.
Any West Coast offense
He is smart, accurate and mobile enough to buy time. He could turn out like Steve Young IMO.
by osceolafan850 on Jan 27, 2010 12:46 AM EST up reply actions
All of them. He doesn't have huge arm restrictions to be forced into a West coast system however that may be his best system due to his smarts.
365 days, until I change my ways.
Interesting thoughts
AZ would make a lot of sense, especially with Warner most likely retiring on Friday.
I don't see Arizona willing to pay 1st round money to another QB
Unless of course Lineheart sucks it up again this year and they send him packing.
Leinart's been there what, 3 or 4 years now?
He may be a stopgap for the year or 2 it takes Ponder get up to speed, but like Rays said I doubt he is their long-term solution…
Interesting that you mentioned this..

I <3 Lost.
I just blasted through the 2nd season and started the 3rd today. Doesn’t mean it’s not confusing.
2010 ~ The Year of the Spear
Good. That would've been disastrous.
Lost is a way of life. You officially have 50 hours and 15 minutes to finish seasons 3, 4, and 5 before Tuesday’s premiere.
This is actually my first time seeing it all.
It’s crazy – there’s people from FlashForward and V in here!
2010 ~ The Year of the Spear
For the first 3 weeks of FlashForward, I was fundamentally convinced it was a tricky spin-off of Lost.
But that we wouldn’t be able to figure out the connection until the Lost finale, which would’ve been a year after FlashForward began.
I kinda gave up on FlashForward when they started focusing too much on the main couple.
I can’t wait for V, though.
2010 ~ The Year of the Spear
I have it worse
I pause the TV & take notes while watching Lost. I take it a little further MattDNole.

I saw that Cal is spening millions to make their stadium smaller, but making imporvements to make it louder...
How you feel if Doak was reduced to 70,000 seats but they changed the acoustics to make it twice as loud on gameday??
"If lessons were learned in defeat, our team is getting a great education." -Murray Warmath
I think they should
add those bleachers up on top of the press boxes like LSU has and change the bleachers on the sidelines to actual seats. It would increase capacity, but only slightly since many bleacher spots would be changed to seats. I also think the higher and steeper bleachers would help contain the sound.
Hypothetical ?
IF the Noles enjoy the kind of success we hop they will, would any stadium improvements be in order? I’m not an engineer and have never seen blueprints of DCS. What else is possible given the right amount of $
Are you talking improvements or capacity additions?
Because I definitely think we can upgrade the “concourse” under the stadium (concessions, restrooms, lighting, flat screen tv’s, etc.). I don’t think it’s necessary to increase the number of seats. The only change to the inside of the stadium I would make is below the main scoreboard. You know where that sheet hangs with all of our accomplishments? Just make it a solid wall or something with the accomplishments actually painted on. Feel free to repaint it every year with an updated design like we do each year with a new sheet. Either that or just get rid of it. There are many times when you can’t even see what’s on it because of the light shining through from the other side.
I don't necessarily think adding more seats would necessarily make sense until we see attendance ....
consistently rise. I was speaking more about what structurally would be possible if the need arose AND the money was there. I agree completely about the concourse area. It just doesn’t give that “awesome” first impression like the facade. Brick, statues,stained glass etc. really impress IMHO.
What the hell are you guys talking about?
The only good reason to waste money on the stadium to to improve the acoustics to capture and reverberate the sound back toward the field.
Other stadiums are louder
Changing the sheet to a solid wall might help.
Improvements to the concourse are a luxury that do not translate into on-field success. Making it louder helps the game atmosphere for recruits. Agree that packing the stadium helps a lot too. If we have the dough to spend on the concourse, I’d rather spend it on things that either help the team like an indoor practice facility, support personnel, or things that help recruiting. Seems like we are on a hamburger budget compared to bigger schools. I am still unclear about the difference between the facilities and support.
We're talking about visual aesthetic pleasantries
Not functionallity in any sense of the word! This is hypothetical, for instance having all bills paid and having enough for either a hamburger or a cheap hooker. Can ya dig?
I can dig.
I started off with the main topic which was modifying the stadium to make it louder, functionally.
I saw that Cal is spening millions to make their stadium smaller, but making imporvements to make it louder… How you feel if Doak was reduced to 70,000 seats but they changed the acoustics to make it twice as loud on gameday??
Adding seats up high to make it more like a cylinder than a bowl, can help to trap the noise, then someone started talking about improving the concourse or whatever.
Putting a wall instead of a sheet will also help bounce sound back toward the field.
All they need to build are big brick walls around the edge.
Jimbo needs to add an acoustical engineer to his support staff
2010 AD = 1 AB for FSU
I'd like to see them move the sideline and endzone walls closer to the field.
Closer to the action, too much room down there.
They're doing it because the stadium is literally falling apart.
And it’s built on a fault line. I would rather keep our capacity. It’s not like our stadium is quiet when full and the team is winning…

All I know is:
The typical strength of the Earth’s magnetic field at its surface is around a half a gauss. So those are everyday units of magnetic fields. There are 10,000 gauss in one tesla. The magnets that we have here at the Magnet Lab range anywhere from 20 tesla all the way up to to 45 tesla for DC fields. In pulsed fields, they can go as high as 100 tesla, and even higher.

What do you guys think about Tebow's ad?
Obviously it’s a free country and he can say or represent (Focus on the Family) whatever he wants.
What I’m asking is how will the media react if it airs? What kind of backlash will it have amongst college football fans?
I think the feedback from it could be pretty interesting if it actually airs…
Compliments of Wide World of Jorts , which is a must visit for Nole fans. It is the perfect companion to Wyatt Sexton’s Wasted Days. WSWD is pro Nole, whereas WWOJ just pokes fun of the Turds. WWOJ also has a nice shot of a Bama chick on the left.

My concern now is...
we have discussed the need for depth along the DL ad nauseam yet we list all three true freshmen DT’s were bring in (Jacobs, Erving and unnamed commitment likely to be Smith) as redshirting next season. Does that mean we are gonna roll with just 4 DTs? Doesn’t that seem exceptionally thin? I’d be surprised if all three of them were to redshirt in this situation.
Also, now it appears we might bring in as many as 4 more DL (Werner, Smith, Lemonier and God willing, Ferguson). That puts us at or near 17, now if we count Jackson as an casualty of the program and then think of Markus’s graduation, we’d be at 15 players. Are we going to be able to sign anyone from the deep talent pool in next year’s DL class with that many DLmen on roster?
and we don't know whether there will be medical, grades, character attrition
we the damn dumb@$$ D-linemen being more apt to suffer grades attrition than any other position.
Worry about next year when it arrives.
Yeah that’s essentially how I resolved this in my mind, “Cross that bridge when we come to it” but it’s just something that hit me. I’m guessing the flex will be the ever understanding Dawkins (team player of the year). I’d say that him moving inside on third and long situations where rushing the passer is the chief concern could be a plus.
Is playing in the 2012 Championship Game optimistic or pessimistic?
I have been reading articles/threads on this great site for weeks now. While driving this morning to my cold site in Kings Mountain, NC, I started thinking about how all this great information comes together for our upcoming seasons. I came up with my best realistic outlook of our national championship chances without getting bogged down in stats and keeping the overall picture simple.
A) 2010 – DEFENSE. Inexperience and a new defensive coordinator will keep us out of national championship contention. Ponder will be remembered as the QB who helped bring our offense back to national recognition though. I see an improved record wtih a chance to play in the conference championship. Top 20 final ranking.
2) 2011 – OFFENSE. Inexperience of E.J. will hinder our chances of making it to the national championship game. Our defense should start to come into their own with bigger and better coached players. Same outcome as previous year. National acknowledgement that FSU really has returned with a very good 2012 preseason ranking.
D) 2012 – VERY POSSIBLE. A mature E.J. should be a fine field general with many weapons at his disposal. Defense continues to become the dominant force in the conference. Very possible shot at playing in national championship game.
Again, this is just my best conjecture for our future…
Agree for the most part that it is a very distinct possibility, but...
…the schedule (as it stands now) in 2012 scares the poop out of me
I agree about the schedule
Home: UF, BC, Clempson, Air Force, Wake, Duke
Away: UM, NCST, VT, Maryland, WVU, USF
That is a murderers row. Since Jimbo has state his preference is easier out of conf matchups, I wonder if he will try to back out of some of these. If so, Air Force or WVU would be the likely culprit. I doubt the school would drop USF since it could be a “revenge” game for the debacle at Doak last fall. I do think we will be a very deep and excellent football team, but if this schedule stays the same…WOW. I would be thrilled with a ACC title and a BCS game.

I guess I'm also trying to say that 2012 would be realistically the earliest chance
of us playing in a national championship game….although anything can happen as Matt points out.
I agree with that talent wise
I think our team will be very good in 2012, that schedule is just crazy.

I can see a 2012 where FSU tried to drop both WVU and Air Force...
"If lessons were learned in defeat, our team is getting a great education." -Murray Warmath
Air Force
Only lost to TCU by 3 and Utah by 7. I believe they also had the #10 D before the bowl games. They lost at Navy by 3 and beat Houston in their bowl game, holding Houston to just 20. They run the wishbone option similar to Navy & GT. Not an easy O to prepare for.
It would be a “should win” game (like USF was this season), but not a game where we would be pulling our starters at the half. I’m not scared of them, but they are in the same class as WVU and USF. It’s a team that has everything to gain and nothing to lose. There is no good reason to play those sort of OOC games.
I put USF higher up than Air Force.
Maybe that’s just me. I wouldn’t drop them. Something about “being afraid” of a service academy and how dropping them would look. I’d have no problem with dropping WVU for an FIU, though. I want to pound USF back into the 20th century, so I wouldn’t end the “series” with them until after that.
I'd keep USF if we could drop WVU.
We owe them…

ex Bobby Bowden show
FSU has one of the top motion picture colleges in the nation and It blows me away to sit and watch what we knew as the Bobby Bowden show and how lame the production is. I really hope FSU can redo this programming next year and put forth some effort into making it a real informational and marketing tool. We have have this huge opening to reach out and we produce this. It’s a gator review as this is the only review I could find and to me is pretty much spot on. Here’s to hoping we get something new this year…..
Actually it is state of the art.
The special effects, the editing, everything. Problem is viewers suffer from a severe optical allusion. This is because the show features Gene, Bobby, and Burt. That is about 215 YEARS (seriously…if you add all of their ages its around there) combined of acting, announcing, and coaching awesomeness. Nothing short of bringing in James Cameron with some Avatar effects would help get rid of the dusty illusion. But even then it would still look like a local news program.

Being a Booster is not a requirement for season tickets
Although the more money you donate the better opportunity you have for better seats.
It's a beautiful day in Tallahassee
yeah Im tracking that, I am a booster and Im trying to figure out how to buy the season tickets online but ethier me or the site is retarded. Probably me, so I was just trying to see if anyone else had done it before so I could get a little bit of direction.
Call them up.
I would think that’d be the easiest way if you have questions or aren’t sure what to do online.
No, it's not,but
I’ve seen it written on this site many times that we are not an SEC type program. Why do you think that is? Because many here want the perks but don’t want to pay the freight.
Join the Boosters…whatever small amount you can afford, and help this program move to the next level. That’s how we’ll become an SEC type program.
Let’s see…80000 seats times $20 per seat per year. It adds up. I believe it takes only $60 to be a Booster. Think about it. Let’s level the playing field.
Yes...
I don’t know where my tickets originally came from, but they’re good and I’ve been a Booster for 14 years…join
Schedule
I didnt think this was big enough for a Fanpost or a Fanshot, especially since I can’t back it up with any linkable evidence, but I wanted to let people know I recently received word that the ACC Sched comes out on Thursday. Outside chance it comes out tomorrow, but most likely not. It definitely won’t come out on Tues or Weds. Regardless, the schedule kinda resembles the one we played in 2008.

Holy smokes!
UNC losing big at home again on the hardcourt. This time to UVA. It’s 59-43 with 6 minutes left in the 2nd half.
Judging by the reaction to her performance and picking up 4 awards, it appears that Taylor Swift might be about to receive the unfair backlash that comes with success.
I thought the performance was good. It’s hard to sound good with the Stevie Nicks goat bleating in your ear and when she was singing her own songs they sounded fine. I appreciated her putting a different spin on “You Belong With Me” and not playing that song the same way we’ve heard it 1000 times.
\Apologist
Don't think she was comfortable with the Nicks song
Both of hers were great. 4 for 8 in her first nominations including album of the year. Not bad.

Definitely not. Their voices don't go well together.
I would’ve preferred a duet with Callait on “Breathe.” At least make Colbie earn the Album of the Year Award she’s about to receive.
I thought that was funny
She’s on one song on the album and you can’t even tell it’s her unless you’re really paying attention. I agree and would like to have heard it.

I know he was a long shot but was there any word on his supposed visit? He will probably end up somewhere in the Pac-10 but I would LOVE to open up some kind of pipeline to those beastly Samoan kids.

from what i gather, which is bits and pieces of free info. he seems to be leaning towards oregon st beavers. wish he would take official and just commit to us.
would be nice mesh with our current kids imo
For what it is worth
I am going to take a chance on a comment here because I think it is noteworthy, they are saying over on gatorbait that Dorsey has committed to USC. Has anyone heard anything which substantiates this? I thought he was a silent.

2010 ~ The Year of the Spear
Random thought.
You know the Sunday Morning QB article here?
I keep thinking about how many players on those All American teams that are O-Line. Every All American team has a two deep, correct? Then I think about how few O-Line kids rate above 3* on rivals. Very few. I think this screws up the distribution even more than the authors recognize.
Would be interesting to do the same analysis they do by position group.
Did what I could
Took out the OL, Ks, and Ps and found the rankings I could.

I guess I'm only aware of it due to the special rules we had for yesterday...
but it is really starting to amaze me how many simply can NOT post more than 1 word replies.
And the fact that the actual rec versus typing rec or +1 wasn't just a special rule.
It was a rule trying to be implemented anyway.
The problem is that people who do the +1 want others to know they agree, where “rec’n” them doesn’t allow anyone to easily know who did it.
"I am the way, the truth, and the life...no one gets to the Father but through Me"
I agree that it is nice to now who REC your comments, but it is also very nice to see your comments lit up green. Please, if you are just going to type rec or +1, take a moment and actually click the rec button and at least do both.

Any chance that Urban’s dinner with Christain Green could constitute a recruiting violation? Somehow forcing a recruit to forefit an official when knowing that said official was planned prior to the current unofficial? Or something like that. You know what I mean.
I bleed Garnet and piss Gold.
Forgive me. I am sleep deprived.
Yes, I meant Mr. Jones. Obviously Urbie knows the rules of what makes a visit official. I don’t know if I would expect a recruit to know it quite as well. So for Urbie to do that to him knowing he was going to USC… Is that a violation of some kind?
I bleed Garnet and piss Gold.
SID department
Is it just me our is Jimbo and/or our SID department working overtime. ESPNU on NSD. ESPN.com reporters and warchant guys in the War Room on NSD. I think they let some reporters from Fanhouse.com in there too. I can’t remember the last time FSU had a positive media blitz like this.
This just in.
Corey Lemonier LOVES HIS GUNS and cars, but mostly guns. Just funny pics. Don’t think he is a bad kid and still wish we got his signature.
I really hope Jimbo locks down facebook for our players. I don’t think Corey’s pics are that bad honestly. I used to think that players should be allowed to have Facebook accounts. I’m starting to think otherwise. Maybe it should be a privilege of jrs and srs that have shown they are responsible enough to not post dumb stuff? I don’t know. I am aware that FSU players have posted some pretty bad/dumb/irresponsible stuff. Kids have to realize, people are paying attention (sometimes way, way too much attention) to the crap they put up.

Does anyone know if Coach Fisher is going to change the format of the spring game?
What about keeping mat drills and such?
spring game will be an actual game
as I understand it, thus much more fun for the fans.
The problem is that it’s still hard for we who are fans but who must travel a good distance for a practice game. It would require a 2 night hotel stay for us, e.g., which is hard to justify. I think that if they had other events going on – a baseball series, e.g., they would have better attendance.
There's often a baseball series.
This year there is the FSU/UF lacrosse game in the stadium before the Spring Game. Always exciting. (No, not being sarcastic. Lacrosse is sweet.)
I know the games during the season require a 2 night stay, but I would think that the Spring G&G game does not. Spring in Tally, aaaahhhh! Maybe I will come up too.
>-----:----:------>Spear 'em then Scalp 'em
Lots of hotels have relaxed their 2 night minimums due to these economic times
It's a beautiful day in Tallahassee
Why? You drive up, spend the day/night and watch the game, then leave the next day. Of course you can always make a weekend out of it if you want, but not necessary IMO.
>-----:----:------>Spear 'em then Scalp 'em
I suppose we could get up very early
You’re still talking about a 12 hour round trip (if you don’t stop) just for a spring FB game, not to mention a hotel stay.
I could justify it if there were some other event going on, but a spring game, probably not.
I agree, not worth it just for a Spring game. But 12 hour round trip from Broward? Your nickname must be Trixie, because you're probably Speed Racer's girlfriend.
I have never broken 6.5 hours from South Broward, and usually closer to 7. Congrats, Trixie.

Ive made it in 6 1/2 from Pinecrest area.
Only when Im doin the drive alone. One bathroom/gas stop and off to the races.
Will the new nutritional programs for football also be applied to other sports?
Men’s Basketball for example eats at restaurants on the road like Boston Market and Cheesecake Factory. I’d love to see Solomon Alabi get in a top quality nutritional program and build up his strength some more.
I would imagine they change the on-campus dining hall that is for athletes only
It's a beautiful day in Tallahassee
Alright guys
I have to say that you failed me utterly over the weekend when I was in my apartment due to 2 ft of snow being on the ground. Not nearly enough activity in here. Work is closed tomorrow (potentially), as we could see another 2 ft of the stuff. I’m looking forward to some good conversation on here.

Not exactly snowed in
here in Florida. I have seen some video. Amazing amounts of snow. Stay warm.
But if there isn’t enough conversation for you, just start a Fanpost filled with definitive statements based on zero facts. Make sure you throw in “According to my friend NextLevel” and I’m sure you will have plenty of responses and healthy debate.

It's back on now, thankfully.
If I’m not on tomorrow, my power probably went out.

I know what you are going through, it is going to drop all the way to the mid 40's tonight in Broward Co.

We're not going to hit freezing for a while.
But work is closed again tomorrow! Party time!

Not gonna lie, I kinda want to see "Valentine's Day" this weekend.
Looks a bit like an American “Love Actually” which was an awesome movie. Plus it’s got Taylor in it.
But how is a self respecting 25 year old dude supposed to go see that movie on this of all weekends?
Hope this doesn’t shatter the image you people have of me. I had to get that off my chest and I’m banking on the fact that no one will read this since it’s not on the front page anymore.
I didn't see that one.
When you think about it though, Love Actually had a ton of stars too. It’s just that they were all British and un-threatening. It didn’t have someone like Julia Roberts trying to gobble up the scenery.
Sorry but...
Note: Shattered is a funny word to say out loud a bunch of times.

"Love Actually" was pretty good.
Have to admit, though, Matt, I didn’t peg you as a romcom kinda guy. I may have to find a new internet boyfriend.

Great.
First my internet girlfriend dumps me, now some douchebag absolutely destroys my Offbeat Friday post.
*hug*
I was just kidding. I’m still not seeing that movie, though.
Television Without Pity’s review
Because clearly we should listen to TWoP in all things.

Also...
Some of the guys in the basketball thread thought I was a dude. Clearly we have not been flirting enough.

I would look at it as a way to score
major points with somebody. “I’m not that into it, but if you want to go, I’m happy to do it for you.”
I can't believe TWSS
I would look at it as a way to score

Somehow I knew the TWSS would rear its ugly head.
I even figured it would you!

Hey, the KY thing is gone!
Apparently they’ve given up on us for Valentine’s Day already. Good riddance.
