Parting Thoughts

Listen, Dabo Swinney wants to be what FSU football was when it was elite. That’s what every program wants.

I’ve always said no college football program moves the needle-like FSU. Think about all of the storied programs that don’t receive the coverage.

The media hates the Noles when they’re winning, and loves to write about them in the few years they haven’t been elite.

ESPN spent the last four months writing an article detailing how FSU football went from elite to where they are now.

In a year that has been the worst record-wise, FSU still has gotten more attention than Clemson, who’s ranked top-five in the country.

If I were Dabo, I’d be upset the standard is so high too! However, Dabo knows FSU isn’t Clemson and wants a chance to face them every chance he gets while they are down.

He knows FSU isn’t going to be Clemson, a program that stays irrelevant for three decades. There’s a reason FSU has as many national titles in half the amount of time compared to Clemson.

There’s a reason FSU came in and dominated the ACC that Clemson had been apart of for 40 years. There’s a reason FSU football has more bowl wins, Heiman winners, consensus All-Americans, and higher overall winning percentage.

Next. The Standard Is The Standard In Tallahassee. dark

I could go on and on, but you get the picture whether you’re an FSU or Clemson fan reading this. It doesn’t matter if Clemson beats FSU by 100 the next time they play, they’ll still never be what FSU football is to college football.
