Florida surf fans riot as beloved state university left out of college football playoffs

"Lets blame DeSantimonious!!!"

Florida’s panhandled surfers love, in order: Hooters, baby shark bites and Florida State football. The last a passion from Pensacola all the way east to Jacksonville, the only part that matters according to august surf photographer Jimmy “Cane” Wilson. Tomahawk chops all day long. And it was with much excitement that this gaggle came into the weekend. Much like professional surfing, at its highest level, college football is an absurdity with a group of elderly men meeting in Gaylord, Texas to decide which four teams will be included in the playoffs.

This year, the Seminoles were an unblemished 13 – 0 for the season. A perfect record and in a Power Five conference to boot with the ACC. Never in the history of the college football playoffs had an undefeated Power Five team been left out.

Until this year.

For this year, University of Texas, part of the Big 12, and Alabama, part of the SEC, each 12-1 leapfrogged Florida State leaving panhandled surfers, first, utterly depressed and, next, absolutely rage filled.

Florida’s Governor Tim Scott, who finds his office in Tallahassee where the Seminoles play, lashed out declaring, “While I doubt the committee’s decision will be reversed to rightly reward FSU for its hard-fought, undefeated season as the committee has done for other undefeated Power Five conference champions in recent years, I do believe that total transparency regarding how this decision was reached would do tremendous good for the committee, the CFP as a whole, and the college football community.”

Former United States President Donald Trump, now a Florida resident, added, “Florida State was treated very badly by the ‘committee.’ They became the first Power Five team to be left out of the College Football Playoffs. Really bad lobbying effort…Lets blame DeSantimonious!!!”

Surfers, energized, pulling pitchforks out of board racks and ready to march on Gaylord.

Will you join them?

Do you care about the World Surf League-ification of collegiate ball?

Should you?

More as the story develops.

The Trump quote would be funny if..
1) if he didnt sound like a idiotic 3rd grader with the name-calling…..2) if blaming DeSantis wouldnt be something Trump wouldnt actually have done.

Dude has been in the sun too long. Doesn’t know the politicians he is writing about! Tim Scott is a US Senator from South Carolina. The governor of Florida is Ron DeSantis!!

Was a tough hunt this year. Weather unseasonably mild, causing game to delay typical seasonal movement. Animals were remaining in the timber bc they had no reason to leave (still able to access grasses). Really wanted an elk this year. No clean shots happened. Glassed some wolves, even a grizzly. That was cool. Did harvest a white tail. Enjoyed some back strap in the back country on the cast iron skillet. Was a great adventure as always. Good times with good people, roaming God’s country.

It was cold. Just little snow. And when it rained, that moisture froze overnight. Makes for quite the crunch under your boot. Not ideal for stalking an animal.

A game where the ball is kicked only infrequently can’t really be called football can it. It’s closer genetically to this https://youtu.be/7Uibp7GOQG…

The CFP is no different than the WSL as both offer a questionable voted decision to determine participants. YES, after the CFP carefully votes and places the teams as they see fit then we have our almighty voted playoff which leads to the latest iteration of the Mythical National Championship aka the Tainted Natty!

I couldnt watch the live stream of Haliewa event so I watched football instead. Grown men fighting like two legged Rams is as cool as watching Brazzos do claims.

Gosh, I hope so. Much like NFL careers, crack smoking careers tend to be short-lived.

I’m sure he did as his eyes look pretty clear these days. He was a wild menace during his playing days and some of the stories I heard from his ex-business associates still leave me in tears today.

But Alabama beat the #1 ranked team in the country. There’s a lot of buts. The one thing both didn’t do is go undefeated. It’s all about the money – ESPN could not have a CFP without an SEC team.

I think it unfortunate the committee placed too much consideration on FSU losing Jordan Travis for the season.
