  • Seminoles in the Nfl Draft
    137 PRO FOOTBALL HALL OF FAME All-time Florida State gridiron greats Walter Jones and Derrick Brooks are used to making history. The longtime NFL stars added an achievement that will without a doubt move to the top of their accolade-filled biographies when they were inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame inAugust, 2014. Jones and Brooks became the first pair of first-ballot Hall of Famers from the same class who attended the same college in over 40 years. The pair’s journey together started 20 years ago. Just as Brooks was wrapping up his All-America career at Florida State in 1994, Jones was joining the Seminoles out of Holmes Community College (Miss.) for the 1995 season. DERRICK BROOKS Linebacker 1991-94 2014 Pro Football Hall of Fame WALTER JONES Offensive Tackle 1995-96 2014 Pro Football Hall of Fame 138 PRO FOOTBALL HALL OF FAME They never played on the same team at Florida State, but Jones distinctly remembers how excited he was to follow in the footsteps of the star linebacker whom he called the face of the Seminoles’ program. Jones and Brooks were the best at what they did for over a decade in the NFL. Brooks went to 11 Pro Bowls and never missed a game in 14 seasons (all with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers), while Jones became the NFL’s premier left tackle, going to nine Pro Bowls over 12 seasons with the Seattle Seahawks. Both retired in 2008, and, six years later, Jones and Brooks were teammates for the first time as first-ballot Hall of Famers.

  • The Daughtry Times Identification No
    Volume 3 Edition 6 | 2013-14 Academic School Year SUBSCRIPTION: 16 of 38 | The Daughtry Times Identification No. 258 Alabama Kicker Cade Foster Sent Death Threats and Hateful Tweets After Final Second Loss Monday, December 2, 2013 | Tyler Conway, Bleacher Report Suffice it to say, this wasn't how Cade Foster saw his final Iron Bowl going. Sure, the biggest play of Alabama's 2013 season came on a field-goal attempt from an impossible length. Fifty-seven yards for a chance at Crimson Tide immortality and a victory over rival Auburn. There was just one second remaining on the clock. The Alabama kicker held a possible three-peat on his right leg. It was frankly every kicker's dream scenario. Only Foster wasn't the kicker. Nick Saban had pulled him after a nightmarish evening of missing three field goals and passed over for a fourth-down conversion attempt on another. With Alabama and Auburn tied at 28-28, Saban sent out the seldom-used freshman Adam Griffith to kick the game-winner. I'm sure you all know how that played out. If not, view here first: http://youtu.be/8GKmkD1pUG0 With one second remaining on the clock, Auburn defensive back Chris Davis returned Griffith's short kick for 109 yards, giving the Tigers a 34-28 upset of No. 1 Alabama and likely ending the Tide's bid for a third straight national championship. It was one of the greatest endings in college football history, but it could not obscure the fact that the senior was benched in favor of the freshman.
