I’m so thankful for all your support, and I could not be in a better situation than I am in with TMH, Florida State Athletics, my team and my staff. I’m ready to go through this journey together👊
Go Noles🍢
@ThisDayFSU@GarnetandGreatA Our AD, Howard Danford, added Volleyball and Gymnastics as varsity sports. The gymnastics coach, Hartley Price, came from Illinois. Even though we didn’t have good equipment or good competition, gymnasts loved Price. He was the reason we had good teams for about 10 years.
On this day 74 years ago, Florida State men's gymnastics won the NCAA Championship. Bill Roetzheim claimed individual titles in the all-around and high bar events. He also finished third in the parallel bars, side horse and sixth in the flying rings.
@ThisDayFSU@GarnetandGreatA Bill almost won this national championship by himself. He scored 23 points. Second place Illinois and Southern Cal each scored 23.5 as a team. Carmine Regna scored 3 points which won us the national championship.
@ThisDayFSU@FSUHoops@FSUCoachHam@chuckwalshfsu@EasyVeazeyNG@GarnetandGreatA I had the privilege of watching King in person. He was some shooter! He played before the 3-point shot was enacted - many of his buckets would have been 3 pointers. He was injured at the beginning of his senior year. We had a pretty good team that year until the injury.
Happy 73rd birthday to former Florida State men's basketball star Ron King! Born July 11, 1951, King still holds the FSU single-game record with 46 points. An All-American during the 1971-72 season, he also holds the FSU single-season record for made field goals (262 in 1970-71).
@DoubleFriesPod In the NCAA tennis doubles competition #13 Antoine Cornut-Chauvinc/Joshua Dous-Karpenschief (FSU) d. #40 Jacob Bullard/Murphy Cassone (ASU) 6-4, 2-6, 1-0(6) - they are now in the semi-finals. First time in FSU history this has happened.
Results for May 23, 2024:
Track and field: NCAA East Regional Championships
Softball: (15) FSU 3, (2) Oklahoma 11 (NCAA Tournament - Norman Super Regional, 5 innings)
Some more notes from FSU's game notes:
- FSU had 7 SBs on Sunday, most in a game since 2016. Most from '17 and on was four.
- DeAmez Ross has a 14-game hitting streak dating back to last season. Ross was 8-14 (.571) with 6 runs scored vs. JU last season.
It’s an ugly day for democracy when a sitting U.S. President running for re-election uses the Department of Justice to indict and arrest his leading opponent.
For years, I have been a minor contributor to Bob Perrone's FSU stats site, nolefan.org. I kept that status alive by creating an interactive dashboard on FSU football stats. Check it out and let me know if you have any suggestions. It's a new link on the front page.
@jbf1755 Wow, that’s interesting. I guess their father didn’t teach them. I allows get out of the way for the ladies, and open their doors, and when I walk with my wife she’s always on the inside so she doesn’t have to bump into anyone coming the other way.
