There seems to be a lot of conflicting opinions about the quality and potential of the 2009-10 Seminole men's basketball team. They currently have posted a record of 14-4 overall and are 2-2 in conference play. The Seminoles took care of business for the most part during non-conference play, winning the Old Spice Classic Tournament and easily dispatching most of the lower tier teams they played. They did have two disappointing non-conference losses against Florida and Ohio State, where the team looked outmatched and struggled with shooting and turnovers. The team started conference play on a high note with an overtime win against Georgia Tech on the road. That was followed up with two frustrating losses to Maryland and NC State where the Noles could not find an answer to hot three point shooting. A win at home against Virginia Tech stopped the hemorrhaging and the conference is currently a free-for-all. With the parity thus far, the conference title is still up for the taking.

                                                    

There are still many unanswered questions about the 2009-10 Seminoles. The team has a week between games before facing Georgia Tech at home on Saturday and it provides us an opportunity to look ahead and gauge our expectations. Does this year's team have what it takes to survive the grind of ACC Conference play? Can it improve upon, or even match last year's performance? Will this team make the NCAA tournament, and if so at what seeding will they get? This is your chance to go on record.

If you haven't heard about the choices made by Bill Belichick in the waining minutes of last Monday night's game between the Pats and Colts, welcome back to Earth. For everyone else, I'm sorry to burden you with another story on the subject. The decisions he made scream of process vs. results and there subsequent analysis.

Let's face it, Mickey Andrews did not retire and he is not suddenly going to have a defensive strategy revelation between now and August. Actually, at this point, either one of those situations would hurt our team.

I have decided that's is time to start drinking the Kool-Aid. When the season is over, it will be time to start drooling over potential defensive coordinator and linebacker's coach candidates, but until then I will pulling full-on for our current coaches. We are all aware of the inherent weaknesses in our defensive scheme. While most of us will admit it is not ideal, it does have strengths and we will win some games as a result of it. So get out your frosted mug and pour yourself a half-full glass of that sugary sweet ignorance. We are going to take at the reasons we can expect a better defense in 2009.

I understand that a lot of times these kids come from difficult situations, but having sex with a 14-year old while your brother and a friend rob her house is not a lapse in judgement. It is a complete lack of moral character.

Watson filed his NFL Draft paperwork, but then said this-

“I’m going to be back,” Watson said. “I still want to be a part of this team, be part of something special.”

Asked if that was a guarantee, Watson replied: “A guarantee. No problem.

“I feel like I lose a lot of money if I leave right now.”

Watson said he needs another year to give the NFL scouts more film to watch.

Talk about a super utility player. Facing two batters and getting two K's is pretty good for a catcher. Granted they were playing Savannah State. It is a pretty neat accomplishment considering the players that have come out of FSU. J.D and Stephen Drew are a couple recent examples.
