Around SBN: Nevin Shapiro Vows To Bring Down Miami

WHAT IT MEANS TO BE A TRUE FSU FAN!




First off my name is Alex Schrock and i was born in Blountstown, Florida and grew up right off of 319 in Crawfordville. I have bled Garnet and Gold since i was born and still bleed to this day. To be a true fan of any sport, whether it be college or pro you must stick with your team through thick and thin. Yes that means wearing your gear even in our bad years. Every FSU fan that has jumped ship in the last few years in my opinion can stay the hell away because i don't want you back as a fan when we dominate again. We don't need fairwhether fans. I have alot of family that still resides in Tallahassee and even though i don't live there anymore i keep track of everything FSU. Alot of my family has informed me that alot of fans that live in Tallahassee have jumped ship and that really ticks me off. The sign of a true fan is going out in public after a bad loss, aka the last 6 to the gators, and still be proud to wear those beautiful colors of our school. It's easy to wear it when your team is winning all the time, it takes a real fan to stick it out no matter what.

Ihave a 7 year old son and he loves to watch and root for everything FSU. I have taken my son to last years scrimmage and a couple of games and i'm taking him to this years spring game April 10th. He's so excited just like his daddy when he sees those awesome helmets and those garnet and gold uniforms, we both get goosebumps. And just like daddy he hates those gators with a passion. He goes to u-tube and watches all of his FSU videos and his favorite one is i've got a feeling video and he watches it over and over. His favorite player is Christian Ponder on offense and Greg Reid on defense. We tivo all of FSU'S games and have quite a collection. I hope all FSU fans are as passionate about this team as we are. My son keeps asking me when are we going to beat those gators and i keep telling him soon and to just keep the faith it will happen soon. Ieven took him to the Warparty here in Sarasota and we got to hang out with some diehard nole fans.

Anyways it is sounding positive about the new booster numbers and i hope we can get back over that 20,000 mark again. I was very impressed with our last recruiting class and no not just because we were ranked 6th nationally but because we hauled that class in after coming off a 6-6 regular season record. Ican't wait to see the competant new coaches develop these new players and the players we have already. So if your a true FSU fan, support your team no matter how bad or good they are. Everybody make time on April 10th and show up and lets try to sell this spring game out. LETS GO NOLES!!!!!!!!

Please be kind and use good grammar.

I don’t know why you posted this here. Also, +1 to skigator’s I-10 comment. I fucking hate I-10 (at least between Lake City and Tally).

Since you're boy's favorite player is free shoes' qb ponder....I would like to congradulate you and Ponder

on him setting the NCAA record for the most tackles by a QB in his ‘09 campaign. Since you’re a true fsu fan maybe you can give the rest of us some stats on why (or why not) you believe ’ol CPond might be able to break his own record in 2010. Oh by the way, those license plates do stand for UF “Still the King” right? Maybe in your next shot you can explain what 0-6 really feels like to free shoes fans. ;-)

Have fun with all those UF rejects you just recruited.

Hopefully they’re better than the ones you already got on the team…wont happen tho.

Are you lost? This is almost as stupid as wearing a FSU jersey to the Swamp. Dont post comments here idiot. Do you need me to post a link to your garbage teams blog?

Good for you.

Being a true fan of a program through the good and the bad is great, but what makes you think anyone here on a Florida blog really cares? Post this at Tomahawk Nation and make these words matter by trying to convince some of your own to be more like you.

On the plus side

While I think this was clearly just posted in the wrong spot.. it makes me feel good that that I went to UF and not FSU. Mercy.

It’s so poorly written, it’s almost as if a UF fan was just doing a parody of an FSU fan’s blog.

by alexnole on Feb 15, 2010 10:11 AM EST reply actions  

Any publicity is good publicity....right Lane? Oh...my bad...I mis-took you for UT fan but....

we’ve only beaten them 5 in a row. I read somewhere that Gary Brown was just out celebrating UF’s Recruiting National Championship when the party was ransacked by fsu players who were trying to steal his BCSNC ring (they thought that everything was free like their shoes) when he accidentally slapped that poor woman. Don’t worry free shoes fan, your boys will start getting into some trouble when ya’ll get something to celebrate other than kicking Bobby to the curb. Admit it, free shoes follower, being a “true fsu fan” really sucks. It sucks to the point that you have to make shots on your rivals site because you are bored with the other things…..fsu. I know you’re lonely but the f$u fans that are now wearing bama colors will be back in a few years when nick jumps ship and then you’ll be able to "con"verse with the people of your same intellect. Good Luck

Gary Brown

Was recruited heavily by, and also offered a scholarship by FSU. He was a 5-star recruit who couldn’t crack the UF lineup and was handed a redshirt last season. FSU can’t even get the convicts to come play for them anymore, even though he was promised a starting spot as a freshman just like every FSU recruit.

by skigator93 on Feb 15, 2010 12:56 PM EST up reply actions  

Theres a Caps button on your keyboard you know.

He never wore seminole gear you goon. He verbally committed there for a week and went back to the BEST school in Florida.

 Your entire team is UF rejects thats why they play for that crap team up north instead of UF.

It's a shame, FSU fans don't have anything left than

a one sided rivalry with the gators and a weak conference.

i still contend that of all the sites i am a part of on SBNation

that this one is the only one that consistently gets these kind of posts and people. on the bills site no one from miami comes over, on the lakers board, hardly anyone comes over for the sole purpose to be annoying, same with the red sox blog. you sir give nole fans a bad name (as if that wasnt already apparent.)

and im pretty sure no one reading this is gonna go to the FSU spring game…..

This is one of the few where the editor chooses not to govern the fanposts/shots/comments either. Unless there is spam, people spouting rumor as fact (which people did with Meyer in December) or just being a total jackass (does “the phenomenon” ring a bell?), I figure people can do what they like. I’ve seen people banned on other sites for not following exact rules set by editors, despite falling in the range of polite society.

i get that

and i would like to add that i like the way you give people freedom on this blog.

i still think its funny that people do this here more than there. (i would notice on the bills blog cuz im on that site almost all the time). but maybe it does happen more often and im just shielded to it….

Thank You!

I have noticed that as well. I have even responded with a rude comment to you, and yet I had no punishment. You are what blogging is all about. As long as someone is not being REALLY BAD, you let the “REGS” own them any ways, such as now. THANKS.

Pick a comfortable place, take a deep breath and try to imagine how little I care. I’m all for family memories, yours and mine but I don’t share mine on your blog. One of my best friends (like a brother) was from Blountstown and I am from Gainesville. He and I knew when it was time to part company. Be aware of current events and make sure your own porch is clean before you start sweeping someone else’s. Try to make sure your son has some good memories and positive role models.

Wow...

I’m glad that you support your team and that your son is following your footsteps in that regard, but to think that FSU is anywhere near UF at this point is lunacy… I swear, I worry more about South Carolina and Mississippi State now than I do your boys!
