I've been making the Fulmer/Bowden comparison for two years now. I lived in Tallahassee from 2000-2005, listened to all the radio shows, read all the papers, and I can tell you that we're about three years behind the FSU timeline. It was always an argument between two camps--the pragmatic "what have you done for us lately" crowd and the bleeding heart "but he's won us two national titles and a bunch of conference championships" group. You can see which one won out, and you can also see the sad state of FSU football these days.
WAKE UP, PEOPLE! That's exactly where we're headed if we don't make a change NOW.
