No, we were inducted into

FSU was considered a woman's school for years and was always playing second fiddle to Florida. It takes time, wins and championships for perceptions to change.

I hear this all the time, it's a great story.  Was it a girls school in any of our lifetimes?

Time??????  We need to be in the SEC and better than Alabama right now!!!!!!!!

 

Patience is not something this board is good at.

1947.  Probably some of our lifetimes.

You?

It would be an interesting odyssey for a girls school in 2013 to become a solid football member of the ACC.  

 

We could probably beat them.

 

Any candidates?

 

I can see it now....

A couple of us Bullspenners were prolly around in 1946, but not me. Cousin Ricky might have been in diapers back then?

Bryn Mawr, Speilman , Barnard ,Mount Holyoke, are all rumored to be going to the Big Twelve, which means that when St. Mary's College and Sweet Briar move to the ACC we should be first in line out of Conference TBA. I'm just glad we won't have to contend with Thursday night games against Speilman. Atlanta's nice...but those Speilman fans leave a lot to be desired...keying cars, turning over trash cans...and the players, gouging eyes! I won't be missing it.  

 

And just to be clear...when you're in your fifties, that "long term view of the program" doesn't really pay dividends. Hard to get enthusiastic about the 2060 Bulls when you'll be running a worm farm.

Like Wooly, my long term perspective started back around 1995....

 

We're half way through it!  Seen rapid progress and rapid decline.
