2:34 into Korn's "Freak on a Leash" is the most accurate description of what is going on in my head 24 hours a day.

Good day to be a hockey Dad. My boys are absolutely buzzing. Both want to play for Team USA. They’re also listening to Free Bird on repeat.

Can’t get over a SB winning team not having a *single* starting OL past their 4th year in the league yet. Can’t ever think of a unit being that inexperienced at the position group where experience is arguably the most important. The supposed veteran leader is 25 years old!

Calling FSU “broke” because of facilities debt is how you tell on yourself. That’s deliberate leverage on fixed assets, not panic spending on players. You can shit on where the program is today without being dumb about how capital works.

Hey, I’m the first guy to trash FSU for being a dumpster fire of a program right now. Coaching decisions. Roster construction. On field results. All fair game. But this ain’t it.

People are assuming the goal is to look clean today, I guess. But FSU’s goal is to still exist at the top tier 5 to 10 years from now. That requires fixed assets, not short term roster splurges, not pretending the model hasn’t changed.

Listen… Miami has definitely earned the right to talk a little shit, but let’s clear a few things up regarding the money situation.

FSU took on debt before revenue sharing fully hits and before conference economics change. That’s not reckless. That’s front loading capital costs while money is cheaper and flexibility still exists.

“Most debt in America” without context is meaningless. The only thing that matters is debt service relative to revenue and growth trajectory. High leverage with growing revenues is normal. Low leverage with capped revenues is dangerous.

Facilities are one of the few expenses you’re still allowed to amortize, control, and lock in. Players are now variable, short term, and inflationary. Choosing buildings over bidding wars isn’t avoidance. It’s risk smoothing.

FSU isn’t “out of money.” It’s intentionally levered. Those are revenue bonds backed by future cash flows, not payday loans taken because payroll was missed. That’s how capital intensive organizations fund fixed assets.
