Offbeat Friday: Move over, "I can has cheezburger", It's time for some lolFSU

PrintIt's been awhile since Offbeat Friday has come to you. To be perfectly honest, we've been quite busy in the past 2 months (Our day job as James Coley's personal Cuban coffee supplier has kept us swamped. We just woke up from a 76 hour nap.) So we'll try to bring the fun today. Or at least some distraction as you count down the hours till the end of the work week and a glorious SuperBowl weekend.
A certain poster on this site believes that we here at Offbeat Friday simply search for tired internet memes, and run them into the ground.
Well... of course we do!! That's the fun part!!
After the jump, we try our hand at one of the internet's most time-honored traditions: putting funny, frequently grammatically incorrect, captions on pictures.
Don't forget, Seminole baseball season starts in a couple of weeks. TNation's coverage is being led by RaysnNoles this year. It's sure to be a great season filled with sacrifice bunts with nobody out, horrible pitching decisions, and of course the Mike Martin Drinking Game. Get excited!!
Offbeat Friday hopes that our old friend Bobby Bowden doesn't hold any grudges as he travels off into the sunset. It's always been in good fun. Just like these:
Of course, another legendary FSU football coach announced his retirement this offseason. Mickey Andrews always presented himself with dignity and class. He was a great coach and is a great man. We will always miss him but we hope he has a wonderful retirement. Mickey Andrews is such a quality human being, it really makes me sad to post this next one....
We should probably move on without discussing that one any further....
With a competent president in charge of Florida State University, and a football staff that seems to have its act together, we here at Offbeat Friday are a little scared that there won't be any more terrible coaches to mock...
Leonard Hamilton!!! Thank you Leonard, for being just the kind of horrible gameday manager that keeps us in business. We salute you, sir!!
Lest you think we only mock our own, take a look at these messages from around southeastern football.
Above all else, Offbeat Friday remains a true fanboy at heart. We will always love and support FSU and the ideals it tries to stand for. We'll cheer for our team through good and bad, praise the good, and point out the bad. But we only do it because we care, and because we hope to help improve our program. We want to see FSU make full use of all its resources and be the best University and athletic program it can be. And yes, we've got a bit of a man crush....

UF DC Edwards hired by ex UF quarterback Chan Gailey
George there is one more favor I have to ask of you before the hire, stop in at the old alma mater and help Herban keep the recruiting class together.
" 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!
This is the second place you've posted this...
except Edwards was hired 2 weeks before Gailey was even mentioned in Buffalo.
And we know exactly how long beforehand Gailey had decided to take this job?

I assume
you were fired as Coley’s assistant? A nap is unacceptable. For crying out LOUD KIFFIN ALREADY HAS A 2015 COMMITMENT. BACK ON THE TRAIL PEOPLE… BACK ON THE TRAIL
CEO of ScalpEm.com
Saw that this morning....
and I think it’s a pretty dumb move. This kid isn’t even in HS yet, and Kiffin is giving him an offer. It’s not a committable offer as we all know, and who knows what will happen between now and 2015. This kid may be the next great QB, but he’s freakin 13…I hate Lane Kiffin.
Frankly I think Kiffin is on the right track
we should start getting kids in the womb… force super athletic couples to commit their spawn to us.

Too young?
Is 2 years old too young to have my son work on the blocking sled and make him watch film? I have no problem with Spongebob Square pants, but until he can demonstrate how the Packer sweep is run, he will have to wait…
Future prospects won't be coached...
They’ll be engineered(genetically).Whoa, I started to type LOL then i realized it’s not that far-fetched.
Lets just force our current players/commitments to commit their kids.
Debrale Smiley’s kids should be added to the 2026 Big Board immediately!

HAHA. Nice. Makes me laugh and be angry all at the same time.
I think if I punched Mr. Baldy really hard in the side of the head I could get a 2 for 1 KO. Ahhh…one can dream.

That's a great
picture of Jimbo and Bobby. Warmed my heart.

For your Tweeting pleasure
I will be making a trip up to Tally this weekend to hang out with the guys over at the Howser on Saturday during practice and then go to the BB game to yell racist obscenities at opposing players because that is what “every” Nole fan does.
From what I have heard practice has been really intense so far and they are focusing on what really matters – Video Link
…cutoffs and relays, obviously we are going to be bunting a lot, bunt coverages, ground balls everyday as usual, just stuff like that. – Sophomore Sherman Johnson
It's a beautiful day in Tallahassee
I can pretty much guarantee that just about every college baseball team in america
Is doing just about the same exact thing right now. It’s fundamentals, just like spring training in the bigs. You gotta do the little stuff before you can do the big stuff.

I'm just sayin...
What do you want 11 to have them doing. Home run derby? There’s just things you have to do to get ready for the season

Bunting should be the last thing should be worried about
They use metal bats and college defenses are poor

You are pretty far off on this one
Last year the acc’s average fielding percentage was .965, the highest was .979 (Virginia). MLB’s was .984. Defenses aren’t that bad. Especially considering we play in the best baseball conference in America. And bunting is an absolute must, especially the way our team is built. Were gonna hit for a high avg, not too many bombs. We don’t have B. Posey I’m the 4 slot everyday. We have to be able to move runners

Fielding % and BA are terrible metrics
But since you brought it up FSU was 2nd to UVA in the ACC in BA last year which is great.

i had at work. Sure was nice to get a chuckle from you guys!
Thank God for the men and women who stand tall in the night to protect this great country we love so much
More Friday News
We aren’t the only ones that noticed Miami’s Recruit Class sucked.
A Miami class with 28 commitments in it that has two more four stars than two stars is mindblowing, even given the ‘Canes current middling status. Making things worse are the classes of Miami’s two primary in-state rivals, which owned.
Miami picked up one top 100 recruit. It is in Florida. This is a very bad sign. Even worse: Baylor(!) is a notch ahead of them in star average on Rivals.
I hope Baylor becomes a better program than Miami. No joke.
