FSU being 2-7 before they play us, and then 4-7, before they play their final game vs UFailure, is not far fetched at all, in fact these are very likely scenarios.

My dream scenario is both teams being well under 500 in this final game, with neither vying for a postseason bowl. It will be the epitome of hate watching. A game which I will thoroughly enjoy under these circumstances.

I really want them to be a 4 win or worse team when they play ULL at the end of the year. If they've already thrown in the towel on the season, they'll get roasted by the Ragin' Cajuns.

We don't want that to happen. I've been very vocal in this thread in saying Norvell cannot be fired, that they can't afford it. And I maintain that stance. HOWEVER...nothing is out of the question, and if they're 3-7 headed into ULL and lose that game, he will be fired before the gator game. We don't want that.

Ideally, the perfect scenario, is they're 5-5 headed into that game, and they lose to ULL at home and then the gator to end the season, finishing at 5-7. I think that "optimism" of him actually being .500 into late November will prevent him from being fired. Remember, the perfect season for us is for FSU to be terrible, but just good enough for them to have to retain Norvell. Because the last thing in the world they want is to HAVE to fire him. And they don't have to if they go 5-7 or 6-6, but they'd still suck on the trail and the program would continue to decline.

Having them 3-7 and losing at home to ULL, while wonderful on the surface, almost certainly kills Norvell and maybe they actually hire a good recruiter to replace him.

0-12 is what I want. Idc who they hire or fire. 0-12 every single year until the day my body is in the dirt.

Haha I hear you. No doubt. I can't say you're wrong. But I'm just choosing to look more "big picture"...that's all. But I definitely understand your post and can't disagree with it, on the surface.

My hatred for F$U being what it is, I have pondered on this quite a bit. 5-7 with losses to us, UiF, and ULL is, IMO, a very great but not quite perfect scenario. Here's what I came up with...

I want F$U to have a 6-6 regular season and lose a weak bowl game to a G5 team just before the early signing period (12/21-23 this year). This will almost certainly be "good enough" to keep Norvell at Forfeit State for at least another season to do even more damage to them, but not good enough to help recruiting.

On the way to 6-6, I need to see losses to L$U, Clem$on, UM, and Florida University. I'd prefer their other two losses also come against ACC schools so that they are buried in the ACC rankings and potentially get a worse bowl game. With a 6-6 record, there is a chance they get the call to show up at the Wasabi Fenway Bowl on 12/17 against an AAC opponent (or some other irrelevant bowl game before the ESD period). In my cherry-on-top dream scenario, UCF spanks them on E$PN on 12/17 just days before ESD and F$U accomplishes the truly rare feat of losing to 3 Florida schools in the same season, hurting recruiting momentum at the worst possible time.

Man that final game would be the battle of who could suck less!

This is said considerably better than I could say it. Nail on the head. If it plays out this way, it's a dream for us and a nightmare for them. Great post.
