In 1993 #1 FSU played at #2 Notre Dame in what was billed as the "Game of the Century."
A group of us from Seminole Boosters, Inc. flew up to Chicago on that Thursday then drove over to South Bend to take in the sights as I recommend you knuckleheads do next year....If you can definitely book this game you won't regret it.
We went to a Friday press conference in this small room...we thought for a game of this magnitude the conference room would be much larger.
Anyway I end up standing barely inside the double doors and I look down and there's a dang Cotton Bowl Trophy being used as a door stop....they had a Cotton Bowl Trophy holding the door open.
Tell me you're a big time football program without telling me you're big time.....using a major bowl trophy as a door stop....I got all of my buddies attention and pointed down to the trophy and we were all starting to realize we were on the holy ground of college football for sure.
Unfortunately FSU lost the game 24-31 on that Saturday but went on to win their first National Championship a few weeks later.
Anyway all of our trophies are on display under security glass with LED lights on them including a Cotton Bowl Trophy....I hope FSU gets back to winning big again and I live long enough to see us use a Cotton Bowl Trophy as a door stop.
Happy New Year Ags
