Look at all these smiling Noles - we're happy to be back together!
Played a little 'Fear the Spear' bingo, Seminole trivia was on the big screens, and lots of food, fun, garnet and gold on a sunny Sunday afternoon...

We are pumped for the new football season 🏈
here are some of SCGO members' favorite FSU memories...
    
Coach Bowden is signing the shirt of Katie Duley at a Marion County Spring Banquet. Katie's dad Bill Duley was a punter on Coach Bowden's first FSU team. She is now Katie Duley Sawyer and a mom of two girls. She married Brian Sawyer who was a FSU long snapper - his dad was the long snapper for Bill Duley at FSU. - Melanie from Ocala, SCGO fan
   
Our boys anticipating the start of the 2013 Orange Bowl vs Northern Illinois. Next morning with Orange Bowl MVP Lonnie Pryor. Great season but follow up year was even better 🏆 - Shelton, SCGO member

The Best Mascot of all time Chief Osceola and Renegade right in front of us!! Chills every time they are on the field! ♥️💛♥️💛 - Blair, SCGO member

 

 

On 13 November 2010, I was eating a meal at Harry’s Seafood in Tallahassee with my father before the Clemson game when I saw FSU legend Derrick Brooks walk in. Jumping at the opportunity in a respectful way, I approached him and asked for a photograph. He was very gracious and took time to speak with me. I tried not to take up his time as he explained he was picking up food for family in town. I thanked him and wished him the best….hours later, I was surprised to see him walking on the field as his number was retired that night in front of his family…he is a great Florida State Ambassador. - Bo, FSU Class of ‘2000, SCGO member

My Son and I meeting Coach Bowden back in October 2013 the night before the NC State game. What a great weekend/season that was. When it was our turn to walk up and meet the legend…I told the guy behind me “I feel like I’m about to meet Elvis Presley or something" lol! Coach Bobby was awesome in person. Exactly what we expected. Go ‘Noles!! - Shelton 🏈 SCGO member

 

🏈  The balloons we let go before the games, I know it’s insensitive, but all those garnet and gold balloons were awesome - Linda, SCGO member
