This is the kind of publicity you do not want

but is well deserved.

From 13-0 to 1-9: How historically bad has Florida State's collapse been?

Bill Connelly puts the Seminoles' free fall in perspective and looks at other teams that have had similar drop-offs.

Stunning to say the least. Frankly, they're a hair's breadth from being 0-10. If not for 2 missed FGs by Cal (< 40 yards each), they would be winless right now.

If only.

I hope CSB can keep us going and not fall like FSU.

I feel pretty sorry for the program. The way the team quit and guys jumped ship. People like to poke fun at Free Shoes U but it really is a microcosm of college football as a whole now. Every team can relate to it on some level.

Last June, one of my best friends, a 1956 graduate of FSU and a huge Seminole fan, passed away in Melbourne, Fl. I went down there to help with the funeral.

Just months before, in January, I had been down there discussing with him FSU's great '23 season and his disappointment at their exclusion from the playoff. He was disappointed but not incensed, as he had final preparations on his mind.

He was in his late eighties and finally succumbed to pancreatic cancer, having survived four years after surgery, a lot with that disease. He got all the life he had coming to him.

I wonder about my occasional thought that he was blessed in not living to see this horrible season. I know that's perverse, and it embarrasses me to admit having those thoughts, but they run through my mind occasionally.

I do miss my friend, though.

I think a real fear is that most teams could have it happen to them, too, albeit on a less spectacular scale.
