Noles OL Ineligible

Right off the heels of OLB Marcus Ball's departure from FSU, the Seminoles have lost another important starter in Daron Rose. It's been a pretty rough 6 months from a Noles standpoint, what with the academic scandal going around and all. Poor Geno Hayes leaves early for the NFL and gets drafted in the 6th round. Oops.

Don't forget there are several players suspended for the first two games of next season. FSU will be hard-pressed to keep up in the ACC with all of these issues looming over their program. However, things will probably be fine in Tally in the long run. They just finished locking up a decent 2008 class and so far have one of the top 2009 recruiting classes in the country.

I look forward to the day when we can see another 6-0 Miami vs 6-0 FSU matchup that actually means something. Beating the Seminoles is that much sweeter when they are relevant.
