During his 11-year pro career, FSU great Sherman Johnson spent a few weeks in the majors w/the Angels.
Today, on Opening Day, he is back in the bigs as the Baltimore Orioles’ assistant hitting coach.
I caught up w/ Sherman recently to discuss his journey back to MLB.

After coaching his final game at FSU on Tuesday night, Leonard Hamilton said it will be up to others to evaluate his 23-year tenure and legacy with the Seminoles.
So I gave it a shot.

I thought Luke Loucks did a nice job with his introductory press conference today as FSU Basketball Coach.

Corbin Burnes pleeeeeeease.
Per @feinsand.bsky.social, the #Orioles were “in” on Blake Snell before he signed with the Dodgers, as were the Yankees and Red Sox. The 3 AL East teams should remain active on the pitching market.

A public service announcement about joint replacement: If you’re putting it off out of fear pain and length of recovery, don’t. If you’re miserable enough each day to be considering it, put up with the initial misery the procedure and recovery entail. It’ll be worth it.

Yesterday was only the second time this season FSU went into halftime with a lead. And the first time was 7-6 against Cal.
So this was the first time an FSU QB went into halftime with even a hint of confidence. And I think that was really big for freshman Luke Kromenhoek.

The one positive to FSU being bad this season is we don’t have to spend one second stressing about the College Football Playoff scam and the bullshit reasons the committee dreams up each week to justify their nonsense rankings.

I appreciate the tone. Thanks!
As far as the D-Line goes, I don’t think that’s too hard to explain. You brought back a 2nd-team All-ACC guy in Farmer and a DE with 7 sacks and 14.5 TFLs in Payton. And MJJ and Darrell are as physically impressive as anyone you’ll see at their positions. (Con’t)

I can’t recall a situation where the collective completely misidentified what they were looking at.
Sorry it’s so long, but I wanted to have exactly what you mentioned, a rational conversation, and not brow beating without context.

Looks like more are starting to make their way over. … I’ll be honest, I stopped posting much about FSU on the other app because it was just a tidal wave of negativity. Would be happy to have rational conversations about what’s gone wrong and where things are headed if anyone is interested.
Please get more FSU media folks on here

I would subscribe to a service that keeps a camera on Brian Kelly the entire game … just to see all the wild stuff he says to and about his players.
