No, not the retirement of Brett Favre.  The beginning of Fall Practice for the Florida State Seminoles.

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.

The session lasted just over two hours in the 90-degree Florida heat, but that didn't stop the high spirits and the desire by all 103 Seminoles present to get the program back to a national level of prominence.

“Everyone was excited,” said senior quarterback Christian Ponder. “Everyone’s ready to start the year off. There was a little anxiety in the beginning and it was a little warm, but guys pushed, worked hard and were excited. Finally the season has started. … It’s going to be a long camp but we’re going to do a lot of work to get better.”
