Were the trophies stolen, or the national championships?

What was he planning no doing with them?

Hood ornaments? Earrings for the lady?

The mind boggles

Go gators, I might add.

fugyeah

You mean like the Gators in '96 after losing their last regular season game to FSU, and getting a free pass to play them again in the title game?

Stolen, like that?

No FSU sucks. Big time. I cannot wait for FSU to close the season with 4 straight losses.
 
2005-11-17 06:13:15 PM
Watching FSU's offense flail around hopelessly the last couple of weeks has been pretty amusing.

Go Gators.

Hmm, I fixed this guy's PC back when I was a techie at the PSC. Weird.

Congrats, Bowden. At least something is going right this season.

Anybody else tired of the "DUKE SUCKS" thing yet?
 
2005-11-17 07:48:48 PM
It figures that it was a couple of Gators that stole the trophies. They won't be getting any more of their own anytime soon; not with Urban Myth and his stupid spread option garbage.

Nothing like that ever happened in Nebraska! Give us time, we will be back!

GO HUSKERS!

No. It's the oldest headline cliche that regularly gets the greenlight, and there's a reason for it - Duke sucks. It appears much more frequently during basketball season or when enough Douche fans make dumbass posts like yours.

THis is comedy gold!1eleventy1 Gee, who would have suspected Florida Gators to be the culprits of the theft of two FSU national championship trophies. If I were U of Florida, I would be putting extra security around all your trophies, because you know it will only be a matter of time before some of those wacky zany FSU students try to jack them up. I would even venture to say that FSU will not rest until they do get ahold of some UofF trophies.

It's like Springfield and Shelbyville over there.

I don't even watch sports or like any teams, and the duke sucks thing is lame as hell and getting pretty damn annoying.

I figured whoever stole those trophies was probably a future F$U standout.

Just Ignorant: So what's FSU's record this year?

Same as the Gaytors.

Watching FSU's offense flail around hopelessly the last couple of weeks has been pretty amusing.

And you're saying the Gaytors offense is better? You guys are delusional. Always have been.
 
2005-11-17 08:30:58 PM
I told the guys at the University of Miami that they should have melted them in to slag.

Oh... wait... Never mind.
 
2005-11-17 08:33:08 PM
Just Ignorant: So what's FSU's record this year?

It's the same as UF's. Of course, UF was supposed to be in national title contention this year with their "Heisman candidate" quarterback and new "savior" of a coach. FSU has a freshman qb, a much younger team overall, and was expected to sputter, albeit not as much as they have.

SuperCMC: No FSU sucks. Big time.

Nice. Stomp all over the school that's giving you your education. I suppose you won't hang your diploma on the wall.

I never understood that. Don't like it? DON'T GO TO SCHOOL THERE!

CastorTroy: And you're saying the Gaytors offense is better?

Where did I say that? The Gators O has been terrible this year.

FSU_Erik: Of course, UF was supposed to be in national title contention this year with their "Heisman candidate" quarterback and new "savior" of a coach.

AP UF Preseason Rank: #8
AP FSU Preseason Rank: #11

Wow! Huge difference, huh?

not_your_friend: How much money does the Duke medical school get to research lung cancer every year?

I know that FSU is one of the nation's leaders in cancer research, and developed a way to synthesize Taxol.

But chem genius SuperCMC could have told you that.

What's the over/under on the number of times Bobby Bowden craps his pants per week? I'm setting the line at 3.5

As a Florida team who has actually fulfilled their potential so far this year...and about to get a make good on our only OOPS of the year, we Miami Hurricanes fans would just like a chance to prove one of the top two teams are posers

I only came here because of the chemistry going on here. Here's an idea: people go to schools based on more criteria then just the football team.
 
2005-11-17 10:28:27 PM
Wetherell says he would consider reducing the charges if the men are prepared to make restitution to the university for the replacement trophies and investigation expenses. ????

only one was returned?
 
2005-11-17 10:29:49 PM
or is it one the school had made to replace the stolen ones? let the dudes have these, you already got replacements.

hm, FSU stole the championship from Nebrasaka in 93 (you know it's true), so i guess it was just karma. as for 99, Nebraska gave the championship to FSU. they picked it up in Austin, where it was left laying on the 3 yard line, or somewhere right around the 3.

i'm surprised the trophies were not found in a Dillard's bag.
 
2005-11-17 11:40:04 PM
FSU grads would not be smart enough to figure out how to steal unguarded trophies.
 
2005-11-18 12:07:22 AM
I always figured FSU stole the 93 championship from Notre Dame - a team with the same record that wiped the field with FSU the second to last week of the season and finished #2.
Of course, that's after the season. I can agree that after the loss to ND they stole it from Nebraska with the help of pollsters who figured it was FSU's "turn" and agreed to given them another chance after blowing the one they had. Bowden and several key players all specifically asked for another chance after the game.
Had they been dropped to 4th, behind undefeated Nebraska and West Virginia, then ND's loss the following week to Boston College would have led to an appropriate Nebraska - WVA Orange bowl and a very likely Nebraska championship.
So, yeh, I can go with them stealing it from Nebraska, although, you know, Nebraska COULD have made that last field goal as well...

When I was in college, I worked for the Athletic Department. One day I was using my keys to snoop around some of the storage closets in the basketball arena and found our I-AA National Runner Up trophy in a pile of other junk that had probably been sitting around for at least ten years. So yeah...I took the damn thing back to the house and set it on top of the TV. This guy I went to high school with lived around the corner and his dad was actually the coach of the team who earned that trophy. I told the guy to come over and see what I'd found in the pile of junk. He was shocked. I let him take the trophy and give it to his dad. As far as I know, it's still sitting on the mantle in the family's home.

I wonder if they looked for the trophies in the basement of the Alamo?

Even if you win the ACC championship game, let it be known we destroyed your chances for a NC this year.
