First, a disclaimer: I’m absolutely aware that yes, this is petty, and that it’s not actual, serious analysis, journalism or even news in the slightest. All of this is meant in good humor, but by no means, unless I indicate otherwise, am I joking at any point about how much I loath North Carolina State University.
I was but an innocent, hopeful freshman at Florida State in 2012, blinded by the promise of witnessing a primetime, top-ten showdown win vs. Clemson two weeks prior. To me, and to anybody else who hadn’t had witnessed or chose to forget Virginia in 2011 or North Carolina in 2010, the rest of FSU’s schedule seemed extremely manageable, so long as it could handle Florida at the end of the year (nope) and whomever in the ACC Championship (yep).
