2022 Seminoles debut in Garnet and Gold Spring Game

Seminole fans got their first chance to take a look at the 2022 Florida State Football team on Saturday as the ‘Noles offense racked up 38 points at the annual Garnet and Gold Spring Game.

The format included two traditional scrimmage quarters followed by the “Main Event” which featured guest coaches Danny Kannell and Peter Boulware calling plays against EJ Manuel and Bryant McFadden. FSU’s offense started slow but its first signs of life came in the form of Trey Benson. The Oregon transfer running back led the way for Seminole ball carriers with 77 yards on seven touches including a long of 22.

Jordan Travis led the passing attack for Florida State, going 7-13 for 71 yards but backup Tate Rodemaker fetched the game’s only touchdown pass on 5-11 passing for 64 yards. As the offense found its groove so too did the playmakers with Lawrence Toafili, DJ Williams and Mycah Pittman all finding the endzone.

“Seeing the response from the offense and being able to create some of the explosive plays there in the second quarter, it’s what you want in a spring game,” remarked Head Coach Mike Norvell of his team’s performance. “[There were] good things on both sides of the ball and I like seeing some of our newcomers have that first experience in front of our fans.”

Defensively FSU was led up front by Jared Verse and Malakai Menzer who both registered two solo sacks with LB Stephen Dix Jr. also recording six tackles (three solo).

The ‘Noles will hold one more practice on Tuesday, April 12th before heading into the offseason.

UCF beats UF at the Thrilla’ in the Gaspirilla

UCF coach Gus Malzahn received two celebratory Gatorade baths following the Knights’ 29-17 win over the Florida Gators in the Gasparilla Bowl on Thursday night.

“Some wins are worth two,” Malzahn said with a smile on his face. “And I think that was worth two, especially with the way that the season went. Our guys showed unbelievable resiliency, toughness and character.”

UCF receiver Ryan O’Keefe did just about everything in leading the Knights to their first win over the Gators.

The junior from Texas finished with a bowl-record 251 all-purpose yards, catching a 54-yard touchdown that put the Knights in control with just over a minute remaining in the third quarter at Raymond James Stadium.

“I don’t know how times he touched the ball, but our goal was for him to touch the ball 15 times,” Malzahn said. “He’s one of the best playmakers in college football and he proved that tonight on this stage.”

O’Keefe ended with 110 rushing yards on just 4 carries, 7 catches for 85 yards, and 2 kickoff returns totaling 56 yards. True freshman quarterback Mikey Keene finished 14 of 22 with 144 yards and the 1 touchdown pass to O’Keefe.

Jackson Mahomes Gets Blasted On Social Media With Epic Post By Kansas City Bar

Jackson Mahomes is developing a reputation for being unlikable everywhere around the league, and it might be a problem when it’s coming from close to home where his brother is the city’s golden boy.

Jackson has been called out numerous times for things he’s done at games including pouring water on an opposing fan, dancing atop of Sean Taylor’s memorial to film a TikTok, and now he’s pissed others off, this time a local Kansas City bar.

SOT Cocktail Bar was visited by Mahomes and a large party this week, to which he was turned away due to capacity restrictions. Mahomes proceeded to call out the bar on social media to his millions of followers. The bar responded with a post of their own, sarcastically apologizing to Jackson, and it’s incredible.

Jacksonville Jaguars fire first-year coach Urban Meyer

The Jacksonville Jaguars fired head coach Urban Meyer, according to a report from ESPN’s Adam Schefter. He finishes his tenure with the franchise with a record of 2-11 and spent not even a full season with the franchise. Meyer signed a five-year deal with the franchise last year, and did not last through his first, tumultuous season in the NFL.

“After deliberation over many weeks and a thorough analysis of the entirety of Urban’s tenure with our team, I am bitterly disappointed to arrive at the conclusion that an immediate change is imperative for everyone,” said owner Shad Khan. “In the spirit of disclosure and recharging our players, staff and fan base, I will not comment further until some point following the conclusion of the NFL season.”

‘So Easy I Was Cruising’: Teammate Says Penn’s Trans Swimmer Boasted After Destroying Competition

A second member of the University of Pennsylvania’s swim team has reportedly come forward to speak about the calamitous effect teammate Lia Thomas, a biological man, has had on the team while Thomas smashes women’s records in competitions and leaves the women far behind. The teammate told Outkick that Thomas bragged after winning the 200 freestyle at the University of Akron Zippy Invitational, “That was so easy, I was cruising,” and after winning the 500 freestyle but disappointed with the time, boasted, “At least I’m still No. 1 in the country” in front of teammates.

Trans Swimmer Lia Thomas

In November, Thomas smashed the record in the 200 free time and the second-fastest 500 free time, with both times breaking Penn program records. Over the weekend, Thomas won the 1650 free by a whopping 38 seconds, the 500 free by 12 seconds, and the 200 free by seven seconds.

“Well, obviously she’s No. 1 in the country because she’s at a clear physical advantage after having gone through male puberty and getting to train with testosterone for years. Of course you’re No. 1 in the country when you’re beating a bunch of females. That’s not something to brag about,” the teammate commented.

The teammate said her fellow women teammates were crying on the Akron pool deck because they knew they had no chance of winning with Thomas competing. She said, “They feel so discouraged because no matter how much work they put in it, they’re going to lose. Usually, they can get behind the blocks and know they out-trained all their competitors and they’re going to win and give it all they’ve got. Now they’re having to go behind the blocks knowing no matter what, they do not have the chance to win. I think that it’s really getting to everyone.”
