FSU Names their Booster AD 😅

[TheEye]

I'm actually pretty sad about this. College football was so good when UM and FSU were relevant at the same time. Those matchups in the 80's, 90's and into the early 2000's were legendary. Sad to see how far they (and we) have fallen. At least we are digging ourselves out.

They wore their Sucks to Be U shirts when the Shapiro story broke. They raided Miami for talent during the Golden years. Jimbo embarrassed Randy in their last matchup. F$&@ their streak. F$&@ their hypocritical BS. Let them have multiple bad coaching hires like we did and the school cry poor mouth.

And to add more injury

Shame on them in the 1st place trying to take tax payer funds to use on their stadium. If they want to upgrade that old dump, then get the boosters to pay for it!!!!

**** Tally!!! UM paying nearly as much in buyouts as FSU is trying to steal from the locals for their stadium. Bunch of broke *** ******* trying to steal from the poor folks in Tally.

Don't ever Troll us for playing in a $350 million dollar upgraded stadium!!!

Excellent fundraiser = She's got a great personality

Isn't that exactly what everyone is saying about Rad? He is mainly just an elite fundraiser who will have our facilities on par with SEC teams?

If you really think about it, other than a short period where Jimbo won them the title, they have not been bad, they have been atrocious. They were before Jimbo took over and went right back to it even before he left.

And funny ****, their stadium funding about to be rescinded. Watch FSU and imagine thats how we been for 20 years. Life comes at you fast. Same exact thing. Loading up on project 3 stars and it inflate their recruiting ranking. G5 coaches. Crazy.

How embarrassing that they even tried to use tax payer money designated for local empowerment projects towards their **** *** stadium.

Those clowns trolled us when we fired James and Lashlee went to SMU as though our program was falling apart firing coaches every 3 years. Meanwhile we just hired our homeboy Mario, fleeced Clemson of their AD, and have increased our athletic budget by #25 million annually.

The nerve of their media and fanbase to suggest our program has fallen when those fools haven't been to a bowl game in 2 years with back to back losing seasons. They somehow think their program is on the way up.

With rivals' futures cloudy, FSU's victory shows its moving in right direction | Fernandez

Florida State's 31-28 victory over Miami showed, despite its struggles, that it's moving in the right direction under second-year coach Mike Norvell.

We're laying the foundation for the next 20 years. The architecture blueprint has been put into place and now we're building.

Nevin Shapiro was their backup #2

 

[Number1CanesFan]

Uh, who 8s "yours." We all Canes. You have the wrong post homey.

 

[TheOriginalCane]

They were trying to. In their defense the city/county has done the same thing for TCC and FAMU. But this time people complained. The money is to bring Doak up to code apparently.

Coach Ham is actually going to the capital to talk about it.

Only a fraction of the overall proposed $120M renovation is for "bringing Doak up to code". Most of it is for premium area upgrades.

Erector set is laughingly accurate.. good call.

Trust me, I was in that stadium multiple times in the 1980s. I was afraid it might collapse.

 

[TheOriginalCane]

It's actually worse. At least Blake had athletic department experience. This is some random booster.

Clearly you haven't read his resume. He is a former Athletic Director at another university.

It's not the worst hire ever, but the Louisville AD was more qualified and accomplished.

Lol. I couldn’t believe my eyes when I first saw this. Then I said to myself……good.

Sad F outa here with that. FSU are masters at beating and bragging about beating bad Miami teams. I hope they stay in the garbage and we pile up a 10 game win streak against them and national titles. I think thats fair. Them and the Lizards. Hope they go bankrupt.

willie taggert and his buyout is the gift that keeps on giving

I had the misfortune of going to high school in Tallahassee from 82-86, then moved back to Miami in 88. I went to a bunch of games there also, including a 10 year stretch or so where I traveled back and forth for the Miami games. Erector set brought back the memories of cutting thru the tunnel under Pensacola st and coming out to see the stadium. It's surprising how much that stadium and area has changed.

May they forever be mired in lower-class mediocrity.

 

[QuattroCane]

Yeah...but did you see that epic win vs Miami bro!! 31-28, WoooHooo,

Was 2017 the start of the Dark Ages for FSU?

Worst two year stretch for the program since the 70's Multi-million dollar budget deficit for the athletic program Willie Taggart on a $5M/year salary with 5 years remaining Buyout is 85% of whatever is left on his contract Jimbo left them with nothing at QB or OL --- I knew things were...

Does UM have a comparable "Booster Club" so large that it requires its own CEO to run? And, that takes in so much $$$?

Yeah, even a few years ago, I went in one particular entrance, and they had those metallic aluminum ramps, the ones that are usually used for high school bleachers (not to mention every grandstand at every NASCAR race). I tried to explain this to people, all that F$U did was slap bricks up around that crappy stadium. They didn't rebuild anything, they didn't improve on the structural soundness of the old stadium.
