The Year Of The Seminole

For those of you who haven't heard I am high on FSU sports this year. This is the best our sports program has ever looked. I predicted an undefeated regular season for our football team, but even I am impressed with how good we have looked. Even I am impressed with this freshman QB that has been so impressive. However, it isn't just our football team that is turning heads.

I predicted at least two national championships for Florida State Athletics for this school year. My prediction might be exceeded at this point. While we have yet to clinch our first, the championships could start rolling in. Our first chance comes later today. In a few minutes our Seminole soccer team will take on the UCLA Bruins for the National Championship in girls soccer. How incredible is that? One of the most consistent teams in the country, FSU Soccer looks to impress today. No matter what happens later, it has been an awesome season for the Noles. That goal that Fields hit to put us in the ship was incredible. Three victories over a final four team in Virginia Tech is unheard of in any sport. This has been a dream run for the ladies and will hopefully result in national championship #1 for the 2013-2014 school year.

The other team still alive for the Seminoles in tournament play is the volleyball team. FSU volleyball defeated the hated Florida Gators Friday night to advance to the Sweet Sixteen of the NCAA tournament. A 23 game losing streak @ Florida was snapped with the victory and has given the school a great amount of national prestige. FSU will play next Dec.13 when it looks to move onto the Elite Eight of the NCAA tournament. This Friday our Seminoles will look to pull off another upset in Madison, Wisconsin over the Badgers. Hopefully, they can keep the magic alive.

Finally, we can talk about this great football team. The team that has won every game by at least 14 points. Every game except one of these contests was decided by at least 28 points. FSU has scored 40+ points in all, but one game. The latest victory brings the Seminoles to 13-0 and sends them to Pasadena. This Seminole team is so unbelievable that the 45-7 win seems like it wasn't the best FSU could do. It deserves to play for the title and will be exciting to watch on January 6th. Jameis Winston deserves the Heisman and Jimbo Fisher deserves all the praise he has gotten. FSU is back!

It doesn't end there though, FSU has more to come. Two national championships will be played for and that's just the fall. We still have winter and spring sports. Those sports include a powerhouse baseball team that will feature star Seminole Jameis Winston. The sports also include a basketball team that pummelled #10 VCU and took Michigan to the wire. We still have a track team that has won multiple national championships. No the Seminoles aren't done, we are just getting started.

Oh and Jimbo just signed a 5 year extension so this might as well be the decade of the Seminole. Go Noles! So Proud!
