In my endless quest to cause pain to myself I've read all I can find about the FSU/USF game.  In my reading I stumbled across AC's mailbag and this question in particular.

Trey (Orlando) writes: So how are school officials and decision makers viewing Bowden’s future? Is there any talk around Tallahassee about it? I love Bowden, but it may be time. Do you have an opinion on this matter?

Andrew Carter: I knew this question would be coming this week. Here’s the deal, Trey: I think we’re in a holding pattern at this point. Certainly, the 2-2 start has raised significant questions about the direction of this program. I think people thought that, worst case, FSU would be 2-2 right now. Well, the worst case has happened. If that continues, then there will be all sorts of questions about Bowden’s immediate future. And there are now, to an extent. But the thing is, FSU can still right the ship. It can still win the Atlantic Division, play for the ACC title, go to a BCS bowl, etc. But if the Seminoles lose this weekend, it could interesting – and ugly – in Tallahassee. As for my opinion, I do have one, but I’m waiting to see what happens this weekend.

In the wake of FSU picking up its 10^th commitment (Holmes Onwukaife) I began to think about the importance of the new efforts in FSU’s recruiting.  Most of the praise goes to Fisher and Coley, and rightfully so, but Bob LaCivita should get an assist here.  As you may or may not remember LaCivita was hired in ’07 to the position of Football Director of Player Personnel, a position he previously held at NCState and, more recently, UF.  LaCivita’s job entails overseeing administrative duties relating to recruiting and assisting on day-to-day football activities.

As we all know a sac bunt is not worth much unless you need just one run.  I'm watching the OSU/UGA game and OSU has cashed in on a few sac bunts.  One was actually an E-1 so they had runners on the corner.  Just curious about the responses to the following question.

I wish I could tell you that Andy fought the good fight, and the Sisters let him be. I wish I could tell you that - but prison is no fairy-tale world.
