2010 Athlon Preview: Florida State
From CNN.com and Athlon Sports:
The handoff might have been a little sloppy, but Jimbo Fisher insists he was running full speed when he took the baton last January from legendary Florida State coach Bobby Bowden. In the end, Fisher says, that’s all that matters. Yes, the Seminoles’ highly publicized “head coach-in-waiting” plan was awkward at times. Yes, the administration had to ultimately push Bowden aside a year earlier than he would have preferred. But once those unpleasantries were out of the way, Fisher was indeed able to hit the ground running this past spring.
And he believes that will be the key to a rapid turnaround in 2010. While a normal first-year head coach still would be figuring out his players, getting to know who he could count on in different situations, Fisher says he already is in second gear.

He did a lot of damage to his SEC opponents as well as Florida State during his time as the QB for the Florida Gators. And being an avid Denver Broncos fan I now get to sit and watch him each Sunday as he takes the field playing for my favorite professional team as well. Is this karma playing a cruel joke on me? What have I done to deserve this?

Trying to out-retire Michael Jordan? A personal message from me to Brett: Quit toying with my emotions. I get overjoyed every time I hear that you're leaving the NFL only to have those dreams shattered upon your return. I won't shy away from the fact that I've never liked Brett Favre. Is it because of his career with the Packers?

Yesterday marked the official beginning of the season for FSU as the Noles took to the Al Dunlap Practice Fields. Everyone was in high spirits as this was the first time since 1976 that the annual Fall Camp was coached by someone other than Bobby Bowden. “It was a good moment, but you had to put it behind you and go coach,” said head coach Jimbo Fisher.

While I try to stay neutral when writing about various sporting events, I still have a bad taste in my mouth when reporting on Tim Tebow.
The votes are in and the Preseason 2010 
Early reports are beginning to come in stating that Brett Favre, the current Minnesota Vikings QB, plans to call it quits for the third time.
No, not the retirement of Brett Favre. The beginning of Fall Practice for the Florida State Seminoles.
The season has long since ended. The confetti swept away and the cowbells have gone silent.
