The Seminoles play Georgia this Saturday in the Orange Bowl, and it’s shaping up to possibly be a very ugly blowout.
The line as of publication is -19.5 in favor of the Bulldogs. Oddsmakers and many fans are expecting an absolute slaughter. I actually have a bar tab riding on this game, and I was foolish enough to take it when it +14.5 for FSU. Say a prayer for me. I’m going to need it.

Good morning, I’m Dan Gartland. If you haven’t seen it already, I highly recommend the new movie The Iron Claw, about the famous Von Erich wrestling family. I saw it last night. FANTASTIC.

The year’s signature baseball moment happened before the season even started. At least that’s how most fans and players usually look at the World Baseball Classic: It’s a fun preseason exhibition, but it lacks the intensity, the stakes and the star power of, say, soccer’s World Cup. Real baseball starts on MLB’s Opening Day.

This is Julius Peppers’ first attempt to enter the Hall of Fame, and he’s as close to a lock as you could possibly imagine. Peppers is fifth in the NFL’s all-time sack list with 159.5, and is surrounded on both sides of the rankings by players who have already entered the HoF.

“We’re desperately trying to win,” Payton told reporters on Wednesday afternoon.
It’s almost as if ticket brokers should’ve seen this coming with Florida State fans, but sales for the upcoming game are not going as planned. Maybe it was the college football playoff snub that gave it away, but it sounds like some scalpers weren’t taking the hints.
