Today we’re showing love to the Florida State Seminoles. Last year, FSU did not need PBHeartsJelly. The college football team received more love than they knew what to do. In the 2023 season, Florida State were undefeated conference champions.
But then they got left out of the college football playoffs.
Full disclosure: I am a huge Alabama fan. Jelly roots for Auburn. We are a typical house divided. Anyhoo, I mention this to acknowledge the fact that I do see the world through Crimson tinted glasses. However, my shades are not on now as I declare that Florida State was not bumped out of the playoffs for Alabama, but for Texas. The Tide rolled Georgia in the SEC Championship game; thereby, earning their playoff berth. The University of Alabama took the bulldogs’ spot. It was the 12-2 Texas who stole Florida State’s ticket to the playoffs, because they beat Alabama early in the season and the CFP selection committee felt obligated to make room for Texas. Anyway. It really doesn’t matter, because FSU was left out of the playoff and proceeded to lose 63-3 in the Capital One Orange Bowl against Georgia. Then Florida State began the 2024 college football season 0-3.
Sure, Florida State football is on a losing skid right now, but the Seminoles is still that team. They are three times national champions. FSU has won sixteen Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) titles. The coveted Biletnikoff Award was named after Fred Biletnikoff – a former Florida State football player. And there are a couple awards inspired by Florida State’s legendary coach, Bobby Bowden.
Florida State has simply hit a pothole while traversing their long, illustrious road. And it is times like these that the Seminoles players and administrators need their loyal fanbase most. Former FSU quarterback, Jordan Travis tweeted it best: “I understand the feeling, bruh, but we have been here before. They need our support more than anything right now. They are hurting more than us right now.” As I previously stated, Florida State football team did not need sympathy last year. They had more love than with which they knew what to do. But this 0-3 start to the season has cleared out the Florida State bandwagon. Because of this, the Seminoles need the love of their fanbase more than ever. We here at PBHeartsJelly are not fans, but we are showing the Florida State Seminoles some love. And remember, this unpleasant period is just setting you guys up for an extraordinary comeback.
