You know the drill. If you have a off-topic comment, or want to start a off-topic thread, please do it here instead of in an existing thread on another subject. If you have a non-recruiting question, ask it here.
- Please "recommend/REC" this post so it stays pinned.
- New Members, please read through the Tomahawk Nation Welcome Guide! We put a lot of work into that and it should enhance your experience here.
- New Members are also encouraged to read the Did You Know: A Guide to Better Using TN which contains some tips and shortcuts to make your experience here easier and more enjoyable.
- For information on recruiting prospects, please refer to the Florida State Recruiting Board 2012. Our recruiting writers work hard and do a great job of keeping the recruiting information as current as possible.
- We are asking our members to comment about recruiting on the current 2012 Recruiting Discussion Thread currently open in the Recommended Fanpost section on the right side of the page, instead of the recruiting board. There you can feel free to talk recruiting news, rumor, information, etc. Amateurs and experts are all welcome. No question is too simple. Have a projected class? That's fine as well.
- The SPECIAL PAGES AND GREATEST HITS section is located on the left side of the front page for your convenience. Here you will find the links to some of the most referenced stories from Tomahawk Nation, the Current Roster Sorted by Eligibility Year, as well as other TN favorites.
- If your fanpost is under 200 words or unlikely to inspire extended discussion, it will be deleted. It's not fair to have people take the time to write quality fanposts and have them pushed down by stuff that isn't fanpost quality.
- Links to articles or quick blurbs belong in this thread or in the fanshot area. This also applies to links to articles with your opinion attached.
- REMINDER: To recommend a comment, please click on the red actions button FIRST, THEN click on the red REC button.
- REMINDER: If you get lost following a long thread, you can click on the "UP" button on the comment you are wondering about, and it will take you up to the original comment that the member was replying to.
- REMINDER: When replying to a comment, please click on the red reply button FIRST, THEN type your reply.
- REMINDER: Comments such as "First" or "Second" (etc.) posted to start a thread will be deleted and you may face a 1 day ban (or more). If you can't think of something substantial to post, either don't post anything or please go comment on another site.
- WARNING: We don't allow profanity in non-game threads. Please don't do it.

Yeah, I laughed the most at the following points:
- - She’s “natural”. No the f_ck she’s not.
- - Anavar is a legal steroid. Only by prescription.
- - You can gain 50 lbs on anavar. LOL!!! It was designed to combat muscle wasting in burn victims, HIV & cancer patients. Very mild & not potent at all.
- - Ruptured Achilles didn’t make me laugh (I did it—it sucks), but it is indicative of stanolzolol usage…..as it is a common steroid for women to use, provides the type of ridiculously lean & full muscles she has, and makes your connective tissues weak & brittle.

They whiffed on JUCO day and DeAnthony Arnette left for Michigan State. That’s just this months news. I’m shocked JWJ, Jernigan, Goldman and Pender would remain Vol leans. What gives??

Though she came to the spring game with me last year...
I highly doubt she will go for it. Dont think either place will compare with a hotel on the beach. Oh well, at least she let me postpone it till spring instead of doing it last fall. Of course she had to pick the one day in spring that matters.
No one knows what it means but its provocative
oh well
at least this has been a cautionary tale for the rest of the unmarried: do not schedule your wedding between late August and early January, and not during April. that should cover it, right?

But he’s given up huge plays off of play action ever since he’s stepped on campus. He has improved on the little things though like playing far off his man and going for the kill when they catch it, then whiffing the tackle.

Thank You TN
I just want to say a big thank you to everyone here at Tomahawk Nation. Better website than WarChant, and it’s free. I’ve been on Tomahawk Nation frequently since about January 20th and I have thoroughly enjoyed my stay here so far! I look forward to some great discussion with all of you heading into the 2012 season, and past that point.

How'd that go, what all did he say?
Any reviews of the segment?
FSU, home of the Bandit! Enough said!
They played the entire post-signing day segment three times in a row, including Jimbo's interview.
It was the same as we’ve been hearing all along. Great quality, tribute to the entire recruiting staff, schedule is tough this year (Jimbo said he thinks the out of conference schedule is tough), he’s pleased with the players we got. The biggest thing I heard came when the interviewer pointed out that last year Jimbo was cautious and unsure about whether or not our team could live up to the hype and preseason rankings and asked him if he felt this year we could. Jimbo essentially said he feels that this year we should definitely be able to turn the corner and compete at the highest levels. I believe he actually said we should be able to compete with the top teams. Loved hearing that.
I wish he added
We will be able to beat the bottom teams. That’s where the problem has been.

West Virginia has cancelled their football game with Florida State that was originally scheduled for September 8th, 2012. Per contract stipulations, West Virginia will owe Florida State $500,000. A replacement has not yet been scheduled.
None of this is surprising and discussions with potential replacements were already in the works with a “if this happens, then would you be open to home game scenarios”

I like replacing WV with a legit D1 school. I know it’s the fashion to say otherwise, but I want FSU to play tough schedules.
I would prefer FSU playing the bowl game during the second week of January rather than September.
But hey that is just my opinion
A wise polish man once said: If you don't look out for #1, you get a hand full of #2
Does fashion = wise thing to better position yourself to win championships?
Official reader of Tomahawk Nation.
You guys have a right to your opinion, of course. Mine is that I’m not going to sit around on Saturdays if all we play are mandatory ACC scheduled teams and Whoevertheheck University. Great stuff. I want to leave a trail to the national title…
What about from the standpoint of the revenue that playing a legit team would bring in?
We could have potentially had another visit from gameday if FSU and WV played. One of the best offenses against one of the best defense, both being ranked in the top 10 preseason poll.
I am fine with replacing them with an easier school because our schedule is probably fine without a big game here but it would bring tons of money in from our program.
According to the article listed above, it looks like we can’t just schedule a cupcake team because it would hurt our BCS bowl bid.
“FBS and BCS teams like the Seminoles are only allowed to have one win over an FCS team per year count toward their bowl eligibility.”
What if we played a team like Texas or ND?
A game like this would probably sell out quickly and bring in good revenue to the school and we would be slated to win by at least a touchdown if we got them at home.
Maybe the worry is more about playing the same team the following year away or something, I’m not sure.
I do think there’s a difference between scheduling Middle Tennessee as a replacement and scheduling Texas. Someone else in this thread (couple of people, actually) have framed this as a patsy versus NC contender choice. I don’t think it is. When WV was scheduled, they were not projecting at a top 10 ranking. What about another South Florida-type team? What about Purdue (someone else’s unofficial favorite around here)? Etc, etc.
Wouldn't do it without a return visit
Playing a road game at Purdue is something Miami has to do, not FSU.

There you go, then.
I will bet the odds we beat Ol’ Miss as the replacement team or Connecticut or Rutgers or…
The schools we “reached out” to were OU, TX A&M, etc… a level above UCONN, Ole Miss, or Rutgers. And the odds are even higher we beat Tulane, UAB, etc… And we still get 4 or so of UF, UM, CU, UNC, VT, + ACC Champ game, BCS game. You could say that the OU game cost us a chance at the ACC Championship game and a BCS game with a straight face. So we have one cool game at the expense of two cool ones that make us more money and prestige.

Randy SAID he reached out to OU. We all know he's not really reaching out with the intent of landing one.
I think this issue is bigger than this one replacement game, as well. CornNole was right when he implied this has been hashed over a million times. It has. We just sit on the opposite sides of a divide.

There is still some conference alignment talk going on
Don’t know if it has credence. Speculation that TV networks might steer both Notre Dame and FSU to the big 12. I am skeptical but you never know. After talk of collapse Texas has eased up a bit on control and Notre Dame and FSU to this conference would definitely call for new TV rights. In fact a conference with FSU, Notre Dame, Texas and Oklahoma would rival any conference.

3.) Ron Cherry

think of the way the ACC treats us, compared to the NC teams
now consider how the Big 12 treats everyone but Texas. yeah, the ACC is remarkably the lesser of 2 evils.

Looking further
$35 mil is nothing to sneeze at and that is with just FSU and Clemson. If that is true I say let the good times roll.
“The Big 12 provided Clemson and FSU financial projections with estimates of each member’s share of annual revenues in excess of $35 million per team – more than double ACC projections — after the tier 1 TV contract is reworked.”

Question for all of the Doctors from FSU.
How long does it take for one to graduate from the MD program after they’ve gotten their bachelor’s degree? I’ve been hearing multiple things and was hoping someone could help me out.
Depends on how long your residency is, I beleve
4 yrs of med school, then at least a year residency, depending on what you want to do (obviously radiology isn’t going to need as much training as neurosurgery).
TrueCubbie is a physician. I’m sure he wouldn’t mind helping you out.

So, has anyone seen Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy?
Awesome movie. Awesome cast. And a brief appearance by someone from Downton Abbey. Perfect for an Anglophile like me.
Thanks for the recommendation. It looks really good, is showing locally and Gary Oldman can’t be beat.
I thought it would be great. I have to be honest
didnt like it. I can deal with slow, but that was ridiculous. Oldman was pretty good though.
"However, I say, let UM burn." -onebarrelrum
I respect your opinion on this, but I disagree. However, it’s interesting to note that the book and, therefore, the movie are loosely based on the real life espionage ring at the top of British Intelligence, known at the Cambridge Five. Maybe the slow pace derives from simply telling a true story that in real life would have played out from the 40s into the 60s. Now, Safe House, that’s a whole different tale…
I understand completely
I feel like I should like it more than I did, could be that I watched it on little to no sleep so the pace only made it harder to stay awake.
I thought it was well acted, and it is probably among the most realistic of spy movies in that it things can move at a snails pace in real life, not to mention that there isnt an explosion every 5 minutes. I just couldnt stay interested.

"A better ending could not have been scripted. Of course, if we had won, that would have been better." -Bobby Bowden
Random (I guess this is the place for that)
This is kind of a conference realignment type question, but it doesn’t fit within the scope of the many core rumors/ideas that drive those (ie money vs academics vs FSU somehow being a better school by being in the same conference as regal Duke). So I’ll put it here.
As much as has been made about ND’s necessity to join a conference, they don’t have an option that fits them like a glove. They have their own TV deal which drives their current independence and reticence to join another conference.
People have been talking about the move to “superconferences” for quite a while. As we see, either due to poor management/sales or poor choices of schools, the ACC clearly has made moves which didn’t increase their revenues. The main goal of the addition of schools has been primarily for TV contract leverage and renegotiations.
Why hasn’t an ND AD attempted to create a new type of superconference, a “minisuperconference” comprised of a smaller amount of teams with large national brands?
The minisuperconference would have to be schools with massive national brands, and no conference that it really “fit” well with. For example, Bama or UF would never leave the SEC. It fits excellently regionally, is football-minded, and has excellent resources.
Imagine a conference with FSU, ND, Miami, and a handful of select others. Large resources can overcome geographical diversity, and traditional powerhouse football programs will dot this conference.
Don’t criticize this idea, because it’s perfect, not naive at all, and beautiful.
Need some help, bros.

is metal and underground rap.
Rammstein is a good band since they have good beats to lift to. But they’re German.
Pantera, Lamb of God, Rage Against the Machine, etc.
Immortal Technique, Jedi Mind Tricks, Army of the Pharaohs, even Eminem is a good one.

Thanks, PhillyNole. We spent $450.00 at Le Bec Fin in 2003
and we only had a $50.00 bottle of wine. This was for two people. Not a cheap place but it was our 30th anniversary and was worth the money at the time. Also heard it was on the decline. I think we’ll go to Vetri this trip. Why we’re leaving Florida for Philadelphia in March is still a mystery. Thanks again.

I love Cam’s potential at DT if he can learn to keep his hands off of peoples face masks. I am on record as saying that I think Cam and Timmy are out 2 best DTs and there were several key situations where the coaches had that combo in which leads to to believe the coaches have similar thoughts on those 2. So moving Cam to OL is not an idea i am fond of at atll

What do you think about Derrick Mitchell on the OL? I think him and Cam could play on either side of the line AND be successful. I think we need a guy to move from DL to OL (barring anything that rhymes with schminjuries) this summer whether it is Cam, Newberry, or Mitchell.
I don't have a problem with 0-2 DT's going over to OL. Keep your hands of the DE's though.

I'm re-watching last years FSU-UF game from last season.
I really cannot wait to see this defense take the field next year…It’s scary how good they could be. I only hope the offense can put it together in 2012.
I think the offense will be good enough to capitalize on what the defense gives them.
And will in turn, put emphasis on not putting the defense in a rough spot. The gameplan next year should be very defense oriented. Of course, if the OL makes great strides..we could see an attacking, gambling offense if percentages dictate a payoff knowing the defense can bail them out. Speculating on ’12 is making me drool. I could EASILY see anything between 10-4 & 14-0. Closer to 10-4 the more likely scenario. Is it September yet?!?
Control the Sunshine State & sooner or later you'll control the country.
I think next years recruiting class will be very good again if we show a good product on the field.
Our final record should start to reflect how we have been recruiting.
This makes me laugh, a lot. Excited for Bracy.

All I have to say is that Joyner is by far the MVP.
After rewatching most of the games from this year now (two I have only highlights for). #20 is just an absolute beast. There isnt another player on our defense (which is saying ALOT) that I would rather start a football game for FSU. I never see him take a play off and have rarely seen him give up on one. He reads the play and reacts quicker than anyone ive seen in a long time. His closing speed and impact intensity are amazing. His intensity in general brings a smile to my face.
I could go on and on like im sure most could; but after I watch him play im honestly inspired.
Also an idea for our fearless leaders? Im not sure if its been done before but Id like to see a TN community vote on specific awards for our own players. Such as Off/Def MVP, rookie awards, most improved, most dependable etc….

He is putting out at around 150% trying to get to full stride. Puts everything into it.
A lights out safety who can also lock down almost any receiver lined up across from him. Plus I love his flying forearm/elbow he likes to sneak in on opposing players. Guy laid out two seperate receivers this year with a elbow to the helmet.

Joyner is a serious talent no doubt
Just speculating on Irving but Goldmon is coming in also. Can Goldmon play as a freshman like Tim Jernigan? If so Cam needed to compete for playing time against him, Dawkins, and others maybe even Jacobbi.
Irving has already proven to NFL scouts that he can play defensive tackle. It couldn’t hurt his market value if he proves he could also be a very effective offensive tackle and play that at a high level and the move just might keep him on the field more during his career at FSU.
The Seminoles are still America's team

Does this say anything about the injury status of the current OL? IMO, we have plenty of real good players on the DL and more in the wings, depth is not a problem.
In Miami’s heyday, they moved several DL to OL that became stars on the OL. The DL are usually stronger and faster, not usually bigger. However, in Cam’s situation he is as close to being as big as anyone.
One thing about his movement, and us going after two Jr. college guys, that we think that 2012 is the year, EJ will be a Senior, we have all but one receiver back, we have our nucleus of RB’s that played. Our defense is loaded.
When you recruit athletes that can play more than one position, it allows you to move someone to strengthen a position without significantly weakening the other position.

For all you gun hobbyists out there...
Me and my wife are looking to get 1 or 2 guns for sport. She prefers rifles for target shooting (less recoil), but has done skeet as well. I have done only paintball lol.
We don’t need anything special, but would like to get a shotgun and rifle to enjoy a variety. I sort of prefer the traditional break barrels as opposed to the pump action, though would consider a pump action for the sheer terror the sound would send through a would be robber.
Any suggestions for something to start out with?
All i've owned is Mossberg but i have zero complaints.
Control the Sunshine State & sooner or later you'll control the country.
That crack of a O/U or side by side is very distinctive too....
If you do use this shotgun for sporting (clays/skeet/wingshooting) you’re going to wish you have the semi-auto or O/U, however its like a Harley with out a windshield. If you start with the pump and its not a problem. You’ll get accustomed to a pump. I’m a huge fan of Stoeger shotguns, they’re a branch of Benelli. O/U and autos are significantly more expensive. The Remington 870 as far as cheap pump guns might be the most realiable shotgun ever made, you can burry that thing in a swamp, dig it up a year later and it will still fire and cycle….
I shoot a Stoeger model 2000 12 guage for anything and everything and it’s maybe 500 bucks out the door and its a pretty semi-auto.
As far as a rifle, a good old fashion 22, .17, or 22 mag will be plenty fun to shoot and has zero recoil. Any of the mainstream rifle companies make affordable bolt, semi auto, or level action rim fires. Remington, Savage, Browning, Henry, Ruger, etc. With this you can shoot plenty of small game and even pigs, i’ve taken out plenty of nussiance hogs with my 22 mag. Welcome to the addiction! You can never have too many guns and these are things you can pass on to your children. I got a little one on the way and i’m already planning what guns I want to get for it. This looks like a fine opp to purchase a nice 22-250.
FSU, home of the Bandit! Enough said!
Wow thanks for this!
Ok… it took me a while to decipher this with no prior knowledge lol. So your are suggesting I start with a semi-auto pump, over the side-by-side or over-under? Also, I don’t think we want to spend $500 on one. We were looking under $300. As far as the 870… there are tons of 870 variations!
We will stick to mainstream 22cal rifles if they don’t really vary. I imagine Dicks or Sports Authority are fine for these?
I’ve actually zeroed in on the Remington 770 and the Savage Axis XP in terms of fitting in the budget and bolt action, and also maybe the Ruger 10/22 semi-auto. Semi-auto might be easier for the wife to handle with a ten round capacity, and it’s cheaper/lighter.
Good Call
No such thing as semi auto pump, those are seperate, i’m saying that the transition is weird. Don’t start shooting semi-autos and then go to pump or vice versa, you’re going to get conditioned to what your shooting. When I first started shooting birds and clays i was using a 870 youth model, got it for my 7th or 8th birthday and it was 20 guage. Infact it’s still at my parents. Now i’ve sinced moved on to a semi-auto and everytime i use a pump, its like instinct to NOT eject the shell to go to number 2 and 3, because i’m used to shooting a auto now. Half the time i pull the trigger and say damn i forgot i’m not shooting a semi-auto or O/U. If you shoot a pump, you’ll be fine, just don’t go back and fourth. With a rifle it doesn’t matter, its not like your shooting multiple targets on one sitting, you shoot then adjust, or just kill your target. Make sense?
There are so many variations of the 870 because there are different editions for different purposes. They range from, home defense, waterfowl, turkey, wingmaster, etc. I would suggest you get a standard 3 inch chambered 870 with 26 or 28 inch barrel. Composite or Camo gun will hold up better to elements, but the wood grain and blued barrelled are a lot nicer looking. I’m not sure if you want 20 or 12, 12 is a lot mor versatile, because there are a lot more types of rounds, but it will be tougher on your wife. A pump gun kicks more than a semi auto, because the action absorbs a lot of the kick on a semi-auto, while its you ejecting on a pump. Sports authority would be good to shop and they seem to be knowledgeable. If you go to a gun shop, the selection will be better as will the knowledge but sometimes the price can be a little off. If you have an academy near by i would highly suggest going there and they’re really helpful and from what i gather have best prices.
Remington is tried and true, infact I have that 770 in a 22 mag caliber, its just a good old fashioned rimfire edition of the 700. It will last forever, I also have a cheap Savage semi auto and its a good little gun and right around a couple hundred bucks. Just go to the gun store, shoulder them both and which ever one feels and fits you best will shoot the best for you i promise. Also, word of advice, My Dad and I KILL it at Ducks Unlimited and NRA banquets, you can buy guns there and the proceeds go to the cause, its a good way to meet other enthusiast and buy a unique gun at a good price, over the past 5 years my Dad has picked up well over 5-6 guns there and if its not a pistol you can walk out of there with it. No waiting period on a hunting rifle/shotgun, in most non-wierd hippie liberal states. I imagine in Cally or Mass you’d have to wait the 24 or 48 hours like a pistol purchase.
You should walk out spending no more than 700 hundred on those guns. an 870 in 3 inch chamber with standard 26 or 28 inch barrell will run you anywhere from 280 to a few hundred bucks. (when i say chamber that means what it will shot 3 inch chamber will shoot 2 3/4 inch sheels up to 3 inch, they go up to 3.5 but they are more money as are the shells) That 22 will be 200-400. Good luck and enjoy, this is just the start. You start buying nice O/U and top of the line A bolts and your spending over a K per gun. But with guns you pay for what you get, the exception being the 870 its cheap and the best.
FSU, home of the Bandit! Enough said!
I understand now with regard to the first paragraph. Stick with one. Looks like I’ll have to settle for pump or semi-auto since they are more economical. I might go for the 12-gauge if it’s more versatile and likely cheaper rounds, and combine it with a semi-auto to compromise on kick force? Don’t care for wood grain in a shotgun, so i’ll probably look into a composite.
As for rifles, maybe semi-auto as well for reduced kick for the wife. .22LR cartridge seems most common and economical as well.
Thanks for helping me out! We’ll go feel some out now and find what fits best.
Good Luck!
Touching all the guns and shouldering will be of more help then me giving advice. Just tell the guy, i’m here for a 22 here is what i want to spend, i’m also here for a 12 here is what I want to spend. The used route is a nother good option.

I'm not so sure this Jimbo fella is the right man for the job.
Thanks!
I attribute everything to my dad. My whole family is musical because as kids he forced music upon us. Now we love it.

Very nice
You’ve got a Fleet Foxes vibe, vocally. Which is why I now demand a cover song.
Somewhere beyond the barricade, is there a world you long to see?

I'll keep that in mind
The Fleet Foxes are a great band. We usually record stuff on Fridays. Maybe we’ll do some Fleet Foxes song>

Gracias! Hopefully I'll have another song up by Friday or Saturday.
Really the only days I can record.

Odd.
Because ukulele’s have “frets?”
(Don’t they?)
I accept Process...as long as it yields immediate beneficial results.
woohoo
Nice, and I don’t really listen to a lot of ukelele music.
Are we going to have to have a TN talent show?
