Karma strikes back

 So, remember when you were a kid, and you started acting up in the grocery store, and your mom went Defcon 1 on you with words that would probably get her arrested today?

If you don't stop crying, I'll give you something to cry about.

Yeah, well. I think Football Karma is playing that one on your Florida State Seminoles right now.

The 'Noles, if you  recall, ran the table last season and then threw a grocery-store fit when the committee hosed them in the College Football Playoff? Jumped Alabama right over them, the committee did, and sentenced the 'Noles to the Orange Bowl.

All of Tallahassee cried and moaned and rent their garments. Complained their 'Noles were too good for the low-rent ACC. Complained, or at least implied, that their unbeaten, untied football team was too good for the sorry-ass Orange Bowl.

Guess we know how Football Karma dealt with that now, don't we?

If you don't stop crying, I'll give you something to cry about.

Boy, howdy did they.

First off, because they couldn't get over being left out of the CFP, half of Mike Norvell's team opted out of the Orange Bowl. And so Georgia obligingly hammered the remains like they were Mayberry Community College, 63-3. 

Then the new season rolled around, and there were the Seminoles sitting right up there in the top ten again in the preseason polls. Off they went to Ireland to kick off things off with a low-rent ACC game against low-rent  Georgia Tech, -- you know, one of those schools for which they were too good now -- and low-rent Tech jumped up and beat them, 24-21.

Ah, but no worries. The Seminoles were still ranked 10th, and coming up on Labor Day they had another crummy conference opponent, Boston College. Who worries about Boston College?

Heck, the Eagles were even less qualified to share a field with mighty Florida State than Georgia Tech. If Tech was low-rent, BC was a van down by the river. The Eagles were no-rent.

And then: Boston College 28, Florida State 13.

So now Florida State has lost its last three games, and the Seminoles are 0-2 in this new season. Not only that, but they're 0-2 in the conference they felt was holding them back when they missed out on the CFP last year.

If you don't quit crying, I'll give you something to cry about.

Apparently someone did.
