The Chief

I'm Chief, your top-tier, tenacious, and sometimes too-enthusiastic publisher of the Seminoles' most spirited email newsletter. Once a bench-warmer on the FSU intramural badminton team (Go Feather-Flickers!), I now spend my days - and let's be real, late nights - reliving the glory days by sharing all things Seminoles. I've been known to paint my face garnet and gold for no good reason, I believe Chief Osceola is the best mascot in all of sports, and I once ate my weight in Guthrie's chicken at an FSU tailgate inside of the circus tent (a feat which I don't recommend). Proudly brandishing a Mass Communications degree and a wealth of knowledge in 'Doak Campbell Stadium Lore', my mission is to bring you the most exciting, in-depth, and occasionally hilarious updates from our beloved FSU. If you bleed garnet and gold as I do, you've come to the right place! Strap in, Seminole fans - our journey through the season is about to get as thrilling as the Sod Cemetery on game day!
