You might not believe me when I say this, but I don’t even feel joy anymore when pointing out the follies of the Florida State Seminoles.<\/p>\n
Sure, I grew up in the midst of the Bobby Bowden era, when FSU was the biggest thorn in my Gators’ side, and I was around for the Jimbo Fisher years too, when the Seminoles would routinely eat Florida’s lunch on the field as well as on the recruiting trail.<\/p>\n
I was ridiculed, mocked, and humiliated by many of my FSU friends during those years, so you would think I would be reveling in their downfall.<\/p>\n
But this is just sad.<\/a><\/p>\n The Noles can’t seem to get anything right when it comes to their football team, and head coach Mike Norvell is essentially a dead man walking<\/a> at this point.<\/p>\n He sure is acting like one, too, because a recent practice clip has been making the rounds that has prompted many on the internet, both FSU fans and otherwise, to say, “What the hell are these guys doing?”<\/p>\n “Okay guys, this drill is called \u2018let the roaming middle linebacker decapitate our running back as he adjusts to a ball thrown behind him on a wheel route.\u2019 Ready, BREAK!”<\/p>\n In fairness, this is probably going to happen to them a lot this season, so it’s good to get some reps in of your play getting absolutely blown up now, just to get used to it ahead of time.<\/p>\n You know what they say, practice like you play.<\/p>\n As expected, Norvell and his staff are getting absolutely raked over the coals by a majority of fans online for practicing hospital ball drills.<\/p>\n
