Former FSU linebacker out as "GM" of Denver.

If I get this right, the incoming class of 2016 will have the same requirements to enroll, but if they fail a higher minimum (so many of the core classes completed before their senior high school year and a higher GPA), they can practice with the team but must redshirt. If they meet minimum first semester rules (9 credit hours passed and in good academic standing) then they can practice the second semester.

Supposedly had this year's freshmen been under these rules, 40% of all freshmen across all sports and schools would have been redshirted due to the rules.

What makes this different than the old "partial qualifiers" rule is that rather than having only three years to play after the first year, all would have four to play four after that first year if they are in good academic standing.

One pundit has him as #2 overall in next year's draft (going to Buffalo), while many others have him outside the first round.

Also contains some interesting quotes from Fisher. Upshot is, Fisher thinks the rest of the offense needs to step up - a good year next year for the offense is more on the supporting cast of Manuel, not EJ having a "player of the year" type of season.

Reliford was at the Redskins rookie mini-camp this past weekend as a tryout invitee, and was signed afterwards.

Somebody stop the wind.

Not all peachy this week for Denver. DT was a priority area for improvement via free agency for the Broncos. This is a step back for the Manning sweepstake winner.

For us older farts who may remember when Mike Kruczek was FSU's QB coach. Actually began his coaching career at FSU back in 82. Stayed two years before getting the QB coaching job for the Jacksonville Bulls of the old USFL.

Of FSU interest as his Jacksonville Episcopal coach says FSU has shown interest in him. Along with Alabama. Dad, now the Broncos DC, played at USC.

Former Seminole and Packer great Edgar Bennett, who was shifted from RB coach to WR coach at Green Bay before this season, could end up being the OC at either Green Bay or Miami, depending on what happens to Green Bay QB coach Clements

FSU has as many alum as Division I football coaches as anyone but Iowa, according to the WSJ. Can anyone name them?

Austin Golson up for Alabama 6A lineman of the year - only offensive lineman that is a finalist, and only junior up for it. Award to be announced Jan 18th.

[A. Taylor played at a 6A school, and was not a finalist]

Terry Bowden moves on from North Alabama to a FBS school in Akron.

Besides being a son of former head coach Bobby, Terry was a grad asst at FSU, and current FSU head coach Jimbo Fisher was the QB coach for Terry at Auburn.

THought all articles on this site were subscription, but for a moment anyway I could read it. FSU is seventh of the 97 schools studied in football asst salaries - basically all but the private schools who can hied salaries.

Report on revenue producing sports in the ACC.

Report admits that it can be apples to oranges compariing programs. FSU reported a "jump" in football profit, but it coincides with a change in the way FSU athletics did its accounting.

Bunkley talks his recruiting to FSU within. Talks of how he was working out in Miami gear when his future position coach (unnamed in the article, but it would have been Odell H.) arrives within an unexpected guest - Bobby Bowden.

ACC DEFENSIVE ROOKIE OF THE YEAR

Think Powell is draftable? Most punters are UFAs. His 47 per punt average would be 10th in the NFL, his 43 percent inside the 20 would be top 5, and his season long of 69 would be 6th (one punter with a 73 yarder, four others tied with a 70 yard).

Add in his skill as a holder, and I could see him as a 6th or 7th round pick.

Seems Stoops should have been nominated. Or even Odell, for the way the DTs played this year.

FAU was talking numbers less than Mark makes at FSU as DC. Even if they came up, I'm sure so would FSU.

FSU alum Bunkley came to the Broncos with the expectation of providing depth, but instead has started (initially due to injuries ahead of him). He's quietly putting together a great season.

"I honestly don't pay much attention," Tebow said when asked to respond to Elway's comments. "I don't try to focus on anything that doesn't affect me personally

Um, how does his boss' opinion of hm not affect him personally?

If you go back to 2002, it would end up restore Bobby Bowden as all time major college wins leader

Former FSU cross-country walk-on, after time off, looks to return to big time.

White apparently made the 'Skins. Had seen an earlier report that he was expected to go to the practice squad., but appears he'll be on the regular roster.

About 12-15 of these involve FSU commitments, including three "bold" defection predictions (one to MLB, one to pro track, one to ugh Florida). Not many among 100-51, but keep going. About half of the final 12-15 are FSU related, including #1.
