SOMEONE GOT A SPECIAL PACKAGE

Barstool's Jon Gruden received a special care package from Florida State football's Mike Norvell and baseball's Link Jarrett. The legendary NFL head football coach decided to discuss what was in the box on social media.

The Seminoles' football program limped to the finish line in 2024, with a 2-10 record. However, Gruden continued to express the proud tradition of this university, which was filled with championship-level success. In terms of football, Florida State has had a very up-and-down decade that fans likely wish were different.

That said, this is still the place that legendary coach Bobby Bowden, even though he last put on the headset in 2009 (Gosh, it has been 16 years... Where has the time gone?).

This is still an important year for Florida State football, as they will have the Alabama Crimson Tide coming to town on Saturday, August 30th, in the newly renovated Doak Campbell Stadium.

JARRETT GIFTS GRUDEN

After Gruden showed the gear from the football team, the baseball squad had to send him a care package, too. Head baseball coach Link Jarrett is trying to get his team ready for the postseason, as they lost two out of three games to Louisville on the road this past weekend.

Adversity strikes the Seminoles, but they have to bounce back in a huge way next series against top-ten opponent Clemson at home. The Tigers were swept by North Carolina State on the road this past weekend.

Nonetheless, the pitching has to get better for Florida State as they look to be a top-eight national seed and host a Super Regional.

GRUDEN LOOKING SHARP IN THE GEAR

I am glad to see Gruden out of the dad shorts, but we have to work on the warchant for him as well as getting him more familiar with the fact that Florida State wears the color "garnet". However, I am happy that there is some positive PR from this.
