Ugh...I don't know if I could handle FSU football being in this conference

1 week ago | chopchat.com | Taylor Devers

Greg Sankey makes me think twice about being in the SEC. TIME FOR CHANGE? FSU football wants to move conferences from the ACC to the SEC or the Big Ten. This is understandable because the Seminoles make significantly less than other teams in those conferences, and the league as a whole doesn't get much respect.
How many FSU football players have All-ACC potential in 2025?

1 week ago | chopchat.com | Kelvin Hunt

Lots of potential here. What a difference a year makes. FSU went from leading the ACC with All-Conference players in 2023 to only having two players make the All-ACC team in 2024. Both players were specialists, the placekicker and punter. Some of that is a by-product of only winning two games because there are at least 1-2 more FSU players who should have made the list. Nevertheless, a new season is upon us.
SEC bias aside, FSU baseball gets favorable draw as No. 9 seed in NCAA Tournament

1 week ago | chopchat.com | Kelvin Hunt

Not a bad path to the College World Series. FSU baseball (38-14, 17-10 ACC) will host the Tallahassee Regional for the second consecutive year, surprisingly just missing a top-eight seed. The Noles will be the No. 9 overall seed in the NCAA Tournament and will be paired with the No. 8 seed Oregon State Beavers if the seedings hold. Here's the fan reaction to FSU baseball receiving the No. 9 overall seed.
What does the coaching staff do with this running back during the 2025 season?

What should the coaching staff do with this talented youngster? HORRIFIC OFFENSE IN 2024Florida State football did not have a productive offense during the 2024 season. The coaching staff thought that they would be able to effectively establish the running game, but the offensive line underperformed severely, and it left fans searching for answers. Head football coach Mike Norvell and his coaching staff want to erase 2024 from their memory.
Big-time visitor coming to campus in the summer... Coach Knighton is picking up steam

An elite defensive lineman is coming to Florida State's campus in June. SHOULD WE BE WORRIED ABOUT 2026 RECRUITING? Florida State football has only secured nine commitments during the 2026 cycle, where they rank as the 24th-best recruiting class according to the 247Sports Composite rankings. They have only had four pledges say "yes" to the program during the calendar year.
Should FSU fans be worried about defensive line recruiting in the 2026 cycle?

1 week ago | chopchat.com | Taylor Devers

Is it time to panic for the Seminoles? TIME TO PANIC? Let me start by saying that this is not a direct criticism of the coaching staff by any means. The Seminoles did a phenomenal job of closing on some elite defensive lineman prospects during the 2025 signing period, securing pieces that they can build upon. The pickups of defensive linemen recruits of Kevin Wynn, LaJesse Harrold, Tylon Lee, Darryl Desir, Mandrell Desir, and Tyeland Coleman.
FSU baseball will host Tallahassee Regional, projects between No. 10-12 national seed

1 week ago | chopchat.com | Kelvin Hunt

Road to Omaha starts now. FSU baseball (38-14, 17-10 ACC) will host the Tallahassee Regional for the second consecutive year. The Noles learned the news Sunday night and will learn their overalls seeding in the NCAA Selection Show on Monday at noon ET. FSU was a top-eight national seed last year, hosting the regionals and Super Regionals before making it to Omaha for the first time since 2019. That likely won't be the case after losing three of four games against North Carolina late in the season.
Improving these 5 offensive stats could power FSU's 2025 rebound

1 week ago | chopchat.com | Kelvin Hunt

It must happen for any chance to change the narratives. In 2024, FSU football finished the season 2-10 after going 13-0 in the regular season in 2023. That's a catastrophic drop-off, but there are several reasons it happened. The loss of top talents Keon Coleman, Trey Benson, Johnny Wilson, and Jordan Travis is the main culprit. Not only were those guys NFL talents, but three had experience in Mike Norvell's offense.
The most important piece on the Seminoles' offensive line for the 2025 season

2 weeks ago | chopchat.com | Taylor Devers

I am excited for Herb Hand's position group during the 2025 season. FSU FOOTBALL IS ALL-IN ON TRANSFERSFlorida State football has many new pieces on its football roster for the 2025 season. That is expected given that the Seminoles finished with a 2-10 record last year. However, some of the fan base are not in favor of the program continuing to completely flip the roster with new transfers to plug and play.
Underrated... No one ever talks about this member of the secondary for the Seminoles

No one talks about this defensive back. BIG YEAR FOR NORVELLFlorida State is now fourteen Saturdays away from taking on the Alabama Crimson Tide in the friendly confines of Doak Campbell Stadium on Saturday, August 30th at 3:30 PM EST on ABC. As you saw this week, we will approach the game before you know it. We will wake up and think randomly in November (obviously, the Seminoles are thick in the College Football Playoff hunt), where the season has progressed at such a rapid pace.
