If your team is Florida State, the last five years have to be painful. Bobby Bowden who left West Virginia in the 70's and built the Seminoles into for a fifteen year stretch the best program in college football.
What three or four years ago it was announced that Jimbo Fisher was the head coach in waiting. Since then Bowden has just been a figure head and Florida State is no longer a top five football program. Bowden gets credit for the wins trying to stay close to Joe Paterno at Penn State. Already this year the Seminoles are 0-2 against other Florida teams and haven't played Florida yet.
I know we have a long way to go in the high school football season but the Tarboro and Southwest Edgecombe game probably needs to be moved to Rocky Mount to hold the crowd that will be there for that one. I think every person who can walk from Edgecombe County will watch that one.
There was a time in college football where the haves would beat the have nots by a 65-10 score. If you look at the scores this year the field has leveled off somewhat. No longer does a Troy show up at a Alabama just for a $300,000 pay day but they expect to win.
You can credit the 85 scholarship limit for that. No longer can the Alabama's horde all the good players just so Auburn can't get them.
Even though they lost today, I sure do like the way Mike Singletary has the 49's playing.
Monday night football will feature the Carolina Panthers against Dallas. One big problem the TV schedule people have is they can only guess how well teams are going to do. After winning 12 games last year Carolina lost their nose guard the first week of the preseason and their season has only gotten worst.
Under John Fox it does seem the Panthers have come up big when they were at their worse. Fox needs to get it turned around, Bill Cowher is sitting in Raleigh.
