FSU Cancels Presser

Coaches and players allegedly and well obviously not happy. Rumor starting to swirl they may not even show up to the game to make a statement that the CFP can keep thier participation trophy. No discission has been announced so again just noise at this point. 

                13-0 unbeaten, they got screwed and I guess you can't have an injury with a key player and be invited to the championship playoff.

Been saying since the vote, I hope they refuse to play.

Punishing 70 kids because 1 got injured.

wish both teams would just show up and let the clock run and score be 0-0

Although it would be hard to blame FSU for boycotting the bowl, I think the ramifications from this move would haunt them for a very long time. Going forward, no bowl would select FSU.

@DrStrangelove

 Especially B/C ESPN Controls all the bowls.

To be fair guessing pretty much every starter on Georgia isn’t playing either.

@UGACLP1995

   With the +14.5 I have, I'm all for that idea. 

if it were me, and I wanted to make a statement, I would show up for the pressers, media day, go through the bowl practices, get on the plane, etc. etc. go through pregame warmups, do everything as normal. then...

a statement would be made if they dont come out of the lockerroom for the national anthem and when the game is scheduled to start they get on the bus in full uniform and go back to the hotel and go home. 

@steponaduck

 .....Orrrrrrrr, they could rally, then go out & play their asses off. Whining about it will solve nothing.

 Think about it.......they'd have most of the CFB world in their corner......

If I was Norvell, I'd do the 15 practices like normal.  I'd do all the bowl activites and make sure my players had a great time.  When it came time for the game, I'd stick all my 3rd string guys out there and let them have a blast.  I'd be calling fake punts, flea flickers, hook and ladder plays, onside kicks, try a 70 yard FG, maybe have the players do the hokey-pokey when they break the huddle, etc....  On defense, I'd have my guys jump offsides 8 plays in a row.  I'd make sure there were 12 guys on the field for half the plays.  I'd try and set a record for penalties that will never, ever be broken.  I'd also try and set the record for the longest game ever played - stretch it out to 4-5 hours.  I would intentionally make it the most entertaining, most outrageous, most cringe-worthy game ever. 

the SEC controls college football and putting FSU in means not putting in Alabama and that would have never been allowed

if FSU is as good as they think they are, go out there and kick the shit out of Georgia and give the CFP a big middle finger.

i guarantee you, the CFP wants Georgia to go out there and prove them right.

@Bruins4Life

 I think they got screwed, but not playing is a terrible idea.  First, they chickened out and canceled the game against Clemson in 2020 after Clemson's team was already in Tallahassee, so this would start to look like a trend.  Second, if they beat UGA, the coaches, poll might vote them national champions.

Who cares about FSU...

millions of fans apparently. 

Yeah Right...Good One. Literally noone cares about the ACC other than Clemson.

The Noles are bunch of F***ing P******...The CFP saved them from getting slaughtered...Good riddance...

There is no way they are going to chuck the 2-3 million dollar payday for the college.

I forgot Dave speaks for all of covers and America for the matter.  Got it. FSU is a more storied program than Clemson. Have you only been following college football for last 7-8 years?  Fk are you talking about? I did not say the ACC. I said FSU. 

Slaughtered by who? Michigan?? Yeah right. Just like they smacked TCU around last year?? They suck.  

..and kick Georgia's ass 

@jefff

 Alabama is in for what they did. FSU had two games to prove they were the same team without Jordan. They failed to impress. Their 2nd or 3rd string QB isn’t beating anyone in semifinals.

I wasnt saying by any stretch of the imagination that that is what I would do. I am not recommending they boycott or whine or whatever else. I was just simply stating a way they could make a statement, like the guy who discovers his fiance is cheating on him but still goes through with the marriage ceremony only to reveal photos of the cheater in front of all frients and family at the reception. that type of thing. make a statement. 

I am in favor of making that statement on the field, but we all know they arent capable of doing that against UGA and the setting is likely not going to call for a bloodgering type of game by FSU with a 3rd string QB...sentiments provided by head coach Mike Norvel also seemingly reveal that no one is excited about their current predicament.
