Dear Readers, After 7+ years, I’m putting ScalpEm.com into “Archive Mode” and, for all intents and purposes, closing the site. No new content will be added in the future. After many years of blogging about the Noles, it’s time for me to move on to other formats. Where can you find me in the future? [...]
With Spring Football almost finished, I thought it would be time to once again come out of hibernation. There has been plenty talked about for Florida State’s 2011 campaign. The Sept 17th game vs Oklahoma has already been circled as another “Is FSU back moment”, while the tin foil hat crowd thinks the ACC is [...]
Many moons ago, in the days of yore, ancient cavemen made their mark on the walls of caves. They carved what they did, what they thought, and what was happening to them over however long they were in the cave. Some cavemen marked for years, some for months, and yet others maybe only left one marking. And while [...]
Although I don’t watch much basketball, I’m very happy for the Noles and Coach Hamilton. Perhaps some of the people that like to scream for his head all of the time will shut up now? Probably not, but for a program that will always be 2nd fiddle to the football team and viewed as a [...]
I made it out to the Saturday blowout, but watched the Sunday game from the confines of ScalpEm.com headquarters. Tallahassee provides some of the most pleasant baseball weather you’ll find anywhere in the country, especially this time of the year. That will probably last about another 2-3 weeks and then it’ll be hazy, hot and [...]
Now THAT’S my kind of game! Scheduling has kept me away from the last few games down at Dick Howser Stadium, but last night was I was back and it was one of those nights that I love as an old-school baseball fan. I was never a fan of the 15-14 “gorillaball” scores, so a [...]
Here are some random thoughts from my head regarding FSU Baseball: FSU Baseball will frustrate you at times, but overall it’s not worth complaining about teams that win so many games each season. Face it, you could be a Mets fan and really suffer. Mike Martin is frustrating at times, but not nearly as frustrating [...]
Last weekend, I was a happy man. FSU Softball is back in action for 2011. This week, I’m happy too, because FSU Baseball opens their 2011 season against VMI tomorrow at 4PM down at Dick Howser Stadium. I’ve been going to baseball for years, and there’s not a better value for a ticket in town. [...]
Lots of people are whining about the 3 days between N.C. State and at Boston College. Same with Clemson on the road following the OU game. My feeling is that it’s really not that awful of a schedule and they have to play what’s dictated anyway. Welcome to the world of ESPN dictating a lot [...]
What an interesting weekend. First off, I was happy that I was able to attend all 5 of Seminole Softball’s games this weekend. Granted, it wasn’t always pretty, but it’s a rare occasion that I get to stick around for all of their games in any given weekend. Many times, baseball plays at the same [...]
