Hold Your Horses, Seminoles Fans! Florida State Isn't Playing Today (But We Can Still Talk About Them Wearing Their PJs)
Did you wake up this morning with a bowl of cereal and an inexplicable urge to do the "tomahawk chop" (it's contagious, we get it)? Did you rummage through your drawers only to find an embarrassing amount of garnet and gold clothing (because comfort over fashion, right)? Well, hold onto your floppy hats, because the Florida State Seminoles are not gracing the gridiron with their presence... today.
That's right, folks. It's June, which means college football is still blissfully nestled in the cozy cocoon of the offseason. Unless you're one of those die-hard fans who's already practicing your cheers in the mirror (no judgement, we see you).
But fear not, fellow Seminoles! This doesn't mean we can't celebrate our favorite team. Here are some perfectly acceptable ways to spend your Florida State-less Thursday:
QuickTip: Read with curiosity — ask ‘why’ often.
- Binge-watch old game highlights: Remember that epic comeback against Clemson in '14? Or that game-winning touchdown catch by ... uh ... (frantic Googling ensues)? Relive the glory days, baby!
- Dust off your jersey and pretend you're going to the game: Who needs actual opponents when you have a willing imagination (and maybe a helpful spouse who agrees to play the role of opposing quarterback)?
- Work on your "War Chant" karaoke skills: Because let's be honest, belting it out in the shower just isn't the same as joining a stadium full of fans.

Ah, the million-dollar question (or at least a question worth a whole lot of bragging rights at your next tailgate). The good news is that the wait is almost over! The Seminoles kick off their season on Saturday, August 24th against the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets. Mark your calendars, set your alarms, and prepare your livers (responsibly, of course).
