Prime Time, Uncle Luke and the story of Seminole Rap 30 years later

Thirty years ago, Florida State was atop the college football world. The Seminoles were coming off an 11-1 season the year before, had one of the country's biggest stars in Deion Sanders and, for the first time in program history, opened the season as the No. 1-ranked team in the nation.

"There was a lot of enthusiasm," said Griff Siegel, who served as the director of development at Seminole Productions at the time. "And I was tasked with building that enthusiasm around Seminole Nation."

The result was a legendary song, an unforgettable music video, a brutal loss and three decades worth of stories, laughs and clips of John Brown taking a bite out of a 45-pound weight.
