The weather has finally begun to hint at fall around these parts which means the contenders are called upon to rise. I used to wonder what it felt like to be a Florida State fan in the 1990s when winning the league was a foregone conclusion. Even in my childhood of the 1980s, the Tigers found a way to stumble more than they should have and won 3 to 4 fewer titles than they should have. Of course, three of those stumbles were to North Carolina State...in a row. 1987 was particularly frustrating because the Tigers had beaten Georgia, which was the best team on the schedule, and had the Pack at home but lost anyway.
