Apparently the people who develop all those sportss video games (EA) wised up and decided to include the coolest part about FSU football game openers into their games now.
Score for Chief Osceola and Renegade

How sweet it is....
I'm in a super awesome mood today. Why? Because FSU Men's Basketball just won and are going to the SWEET SIXTEEN in the NCAA tourney. They haven't made it that far in 18 years! It makes me proud. Even though them winning kinda ruined my bracket a little....but totally worth it. I guess its not all bad though considering everyone else in my fantasy bracket did what I did, so I am STILL the overall number one. Boo-ya!
Great job Guys! Can't wait to see you play VCU Friday @9:57pm.

Money, money, money
I know I am not the only one who feels professional athletes are overpaid, and most of the time pretty terrible with their millions of dollars made. But then i read a story like the one below and I don't feel such anger about how much money some people have when they use it for a great cause.
Seven years ago, former Los Angeles Clippers head coach Kim Hughes was diagnosed with prostate cancer, and the ensuing aftermath will change the way you feel about several NBA types significantly.
Up until Tuesday afternoon, the only functional knowledge I had of former Los Angeles Clippers head coach Kim Hughes was that he was, in fact, a former Los Angeles Clippers head coach, and that he once touched his elbows on the rim in a lay-up line at a high school tournament in Illinois, which really impressed my father.
Beyond that, nothing. Until Tuesday afternoon, when Howard Beck brought this column to Trey Kerby's attention, and he brought it to our attention. And now we're passing the feel-good savings on to you, in the form of an anecdote that reveals that NBA players Corey Maggette(notes), Marko Jaric(notes), Chris Kaman(notes) and Elton Brand(notes) all chipped in to pay for expensive life-saving surgery for Hughes, after the Clippers organization (read: Donald Sterling, noted worst person in the world) declined to cover the costs.
Declined to cover the cost of a surgery that would save their employee's life. While playing rent-free in an often sold-out arena in America's second-biggest television market. Unyieldingly evil.
Gary Woelfel has the original story:
And Donald Sterling? You remain a terrible, terrible person.

Players chip in to save coach’s life after Clippers decline medical coverage

Gary Woelfel has the original story:
"Those guys saved my life," Hughes said. "They paid the whole medical bill. It was like $70,000 or more. It wasn't cheap.
"It showed you what classy people they are. They didn't want me talking about it; they didn't want the recognition because they simply felt it was the right thing to do."No, you're good, Corey Maggette. You're pretty fantastically good. And so are you, Marko Jaric, Elton Brand, and Chris Kaman.
Hughes said he will be forever grateful to Brand, Jaric, Kaman and Maggette. In fact, Hughes said every time he runs into any of them, he thanks them from the bottom of his heart.
Maggette said that was indeed the case, laughing how he has repeatedly told Hughes over the years it wasn't necessary.
"Kim thanks me every time he sees me; he does that every single time," Maggette said smiling. "I've said to him, 'Kim, come on. You don't have to do that. You're good.'
And Donald Sterling? You remain a terrible, terrible person.

Friday, fun day
As I eagerly await opening day of FSU baseball in a mere 7 hours, I decided to bring more enjoyable videos to the public. Like most people here in Florida we are ALL ready for Spring to officially be here and swimming/bathing suit/beach days to be back. Have I mentioned how pasty pale I am? It's scary and you may be blinded by my glaringly white skin as of late.
Apparently Florida is not the only state eagerly awaiting the Spring, and a one "Professor Splash" from up north decided it was time to go diving......from three stories up....into a kiddie pool with 12 INCHES of water in it.
Yeah, Don't try this at home, folks.

Alright, enough of that - GO NOLES!!!

My favorite Super Bowl Commercials
As per usual there were some very funny ads this year and some very not funny ads, but here are a few that I loved.

Well, there's always next year
Sad to say, but FSU was eliminated from the CWS. The boys are heading back to town as we speak. The looks on the faces were heartbreaking. I, of course, was a nervous wreck watching the whole time and was a little heartbroken as well.At least we were able to eliminate the evil Gators from their chances at the Championship, haha.
Okay, maybe evil isn't the correct term, but they are biggest rival that FSU has and I will always take great joy in beating them in whatever sport.
To be honest I felt the worst for this man:
Poor Coach Mike Martin. 14th trip to the CWs and still has yet to get a championship. I have to say that he has been very gracious and humble the entire time. You would be hard-pressed to find a classier coach in baseball. He has a large amount of poise and respectfulness that most would only hope to achieve. I also have to give it up to the boys who acted like men after their tough loss
We love you boys, thank you for keeping Tallahassee classy.
