Located in the Sod Cemetery Plaza (between the Bowden Statute and Dick Howser) and sometimes shamelessly imitated but never duplicated, the Sod Cemetery is in its 54th season of celebrating momentous FSU football road victories.

Now in its second season, SodTalk (sponsored by the Tallahassee Democrat) enhances, preserves, and celebrates Florida State's tradition of away game excellence by bringing Seminole Legends to the Sod Cemetery for a discussion about historic victories and unforgettable moments in Florida State Football history.  Last season, SodTalk Legends included, Charlie Ward (video below), Derrick Brooks, Ron Sellers, and Peter Boulware.
