FSU football is looking to get back to postseason play after taking the year off, and one website has them going to a destination they have never played in.

As the FSU football team was going through their struggles at the end of the 2018 season, there were plenty of people in the fanbase for the Seminoles that would have – just using an example here – sat outside in a baseball stadium in the middle of New York City two days after Christmas if it meant the Noles would be playing in a bowl game.

Well, if the Seminoles are going to get back to the postseason for the first time after having a losing season in 2018, that might end up being what head coach Willie Taggart and his team have to end up doing.

As we enter the dog days of summer with just over two months to go until the FSU football team kicks off the 2019 campaign against Boise State, plenty of predictions will be made about what will take place in the coming year. While we won’t be giving ours until the end of August, some have already been published.

One of the latest came from College Football News, which released its bowl predictions for the upcoming season that – shocker alert – has the Seminoles back in the postseason for the first time since the 2017 season.

Where will the Noles be playing according to the people in charge over there? Well, they have the FSU football team hitting the road to take on the Nebraska Cornhuskers – who also had a losing season in 2018 under their first year coach – in the Pinstripe Bowl on December 27th inside Yankee Stadium, located in The Bronx.

Now, I’m going to say that if this was going to take place that I would love it for two reasons. First, as a biased diehard fan of the 27 time World Series champion New York Yankees, for my alma mater to play inside their home would be amazing even if it means that there would have to be plenty of sweaters and thermal underwear to make it through the game.

Second of all, the Seminoles have had plenty of success against the Cornhuskers all time and lead in the series between the two schools with four straight wins – all coming in either the Fiesta or Orange Bowl games, including the end of the 1993 season in Miami that brought the first national title to the FSU football program.

It might be weird to say considering the history of the Seminoles, but at this point we would take Christmas in the NYC in a heartbeat.
