    Would of been interesting to see what they did if were home this weekend. But chainlink doesnt take long to replace. Told cousin maybe they should consider upgrading to a real 'monster' wall. ;)

    Someone died in that storm and others lost homes and businesses.
    More than enough tally jokes out there to not do it here.
    Jmo.

    FSU is currently determining whether to renovate Dick Howser Stadium or build a brand new facility where the IM fields currently reside across from CollegeTown/Doak Campbell Stadium.

    Number 1 seeds in a Regional have played away before. Usually because the #1 seed's facilities did not meet NCAA standards. Correct me if I am wrong but when we had a hill in left field I think that we couldn't host because our field didn't comply with NCAA standards.

    I remember the hill but dont know its last year.. Looks like UF first host was 89.

    Dont think it will be an issue for Noles if just the fence.. Shouldnt take long to repair replace.

    It is a shame. I dislike the Noles a lot but never wished for something like this.

    I think "The Hill" was removed in the mid-1980's.

    My comment on the chainlink upgrade really wasnt a joke about it being damaged, Other than good time too. Ive been giving Nole fam & friend crap about it for years. Looks cheap imo.

    Taked to few of them about it ,none have mentioned the death, so Im not sure the 2 have to be related. Wasnt intention of my post either way.

    Cuz said today, plan of now is to repair fence hopefuly in time for this weekend. But still no power at stadium so could cause delay.
