[QUOTE="Old South Stands, post: 110480, member: 1036"] Don't particularly hate them... For many years they were one of my favorite college teams after Tech (along with Michigan State, the 1970s USCw and the late 70s/early 80s Pitt Panthers). Very entertaining to watch with some fast, gifted athletes. Their teams had so much depth, their third-stringers could have started most anywhere else. My old hall mate from Tech used to call them the 'Criminoles' because they were a thuggish-looking team and had a reputation for not being too ethical, which unfortunately, might have been true. But I really looked forward the games back in the '90s when Tech faced them on a yearly basis; looked forward to playing them every bit as much as UGA. O'Leary never beat a Bowden-coached squad, but Tech always played them hard and nearly beat them one year, in a game where whoever had the ball last won. They were three and four deep, rotating in and out while our first-stringers stayed on the field the whole game. Bowden was so exasperated at halftime, he said Tech was like a machine... He didn't know how they were going to stop them. FSU were a truly dominant team when they joined the ACC, and we were really the only team in the conference that regularly offered them any competition, except maybe Clemson.
