To the guys that competed, cheers!

UGA fan here, wanted to let anyone who reads this know that I was one of the folks who felt like this team was snubbed. I loved the fight this team showed & I rooted for you guys all season long. This game won’t matter come next season & I’m hoping to see this coach’s teams in the playoffs for many years to come. Special group of guys and a lot of memories from a great season from the Noles! Will root for you guys any time you’re not playing my Dawgs! 😜 this definitely won’t be the last time y’all’s boys will be competing for championships!

Hats off to FSU from a UGA grad. You guys had a fantastic season and you played us undermanned due to the portal and opt-outs. You know it and we know it. Maybe we can do it again next year with both teams at full strength. Respect from this side.

To see Coach Norvell emotional the way he was tonight. Shows the character of who he is as a man and a coach. Thank you Coach Mike Norvell. For showing each and every Nole. Student, player and fan. That you are sincere in who you are as a person. All we got! All we need! Keep climbing. I will keep climbing with you. Go Noles!!

Coach Norvell is all class.

This Clemson Tiger has tears in his eyes. The amount of RESPECT that I have for these guys is without measure. Coach Norvell worked his ass off today. God Bless you guys.

From a UGA alumnus, a tip of the hat to the FSU players who came out and played and fought. Put this game behind you; remember the season, and go build on it next year. Hope to see you guys in the championship game next January!!

I wish you the best moving forward Kaylan you’re a true Seminole, one of my favorite ever!

I have total respect for Coach Norvell, his coaching staff and the players who showed up tonight! ❤️

Through thick and thin, I love this football team. Great heart in spite of unfavorable events.

Tremendous Respect for Coach Norvell and FSU - MemphisTiger

Not an FSU fan by any means, but for some reason I like Coach Norvell. He's a class act and his best has yet to come. Keep your head up coach.

I've been a Noles fan since 7th grade and now I'm a 62 yr old grandmother and a Seminole Booster Mom for Life.. I'm so Proud of what you all accomplished in the 2023 season...this game won't take away what you all have done...13 games won and ACC Champs so Congrats to Georgia...enjoy your Citrus Bowl Trophy and your Florida Oranges! Go Noles! Fear The Spear PeriodT. ------------------> ❤❤❤

Coach Norvell, you have done a tremendous job with these young men. Looking forward to next year and what is to come in the future!! GO NOLES!!

Coach of the year didn't do a good enough job? BS. Mike is the guy for FSU.

Man this season unequivocally showed me we in fact found our coach there’s no if ands or buts this guy loves Tallahassee he stands on moral ground and as long as he wants to coach and is wanted in Tallahassee he will have a job. Norvell gives me a sense of security from coaching standpoint more than Willie AND Jimbo could ever supply.

Coach Norvell brought us back from losing seasons to winning seasons. Like he said, "we are still climbing". Also can't even begin to mention how much class that Jordan Travis has to want to be on the sidelines helping anyway he could. JT is a perfect example of what FSU stands for.

We got very lucky as a program to get coach Norvell. He is a man of character and is building an incredible culture at Florida State!

To coach Norvell our best days are ahead, I promise that. We didn't have the depth to complete. You are a great coach and no we didn't go backwards I promise. Thank you Coach Norvell and staff for a perfect season.

Thank you Mike for an awesome season! Ready for tribe24 ♥️💛

Thanks to Coach Norvell, the coaching staff and especially the men who represented over and over again, not only on the field but in the FSU and Tallahassee communities. We are forever proud. NOLES!!

UGA fan, my respect for the guys that played in the game. Didn't see any quit in any of them the whole game! Hard to get past the emotional blow of being screwed over by the committee! Us UGA fans feel the same way.

Great season, great job, great team. So easy to root for. Well done Coach and players. Go Noles!

Go Noles! I am so proud of our team and our coach. NOLE FOR LIFE ❤💛

So grateful for Coach Norvell and this staff. Thanks to all the players who played this year and represented this program with pride!! What a year, can’t wait to see what the future holds!!! Let’s continue to climb!! Go Noles

Class coach good season. These big bowl games suck due to so many key players sitting out for the draft.

Congratulations on a terrific year FSU! Go Dawgs!

You have done a great job coach! Thank you for a wonderful season!

Much respect to the Coach and players for even doing the postgame press conference.

FSU has a real coach now. The future will be be bright. Go Dawgs!!

those who opted out of this game turned their backs on their team, their school and their coach. what a shame!

I’m so proud of Coach and those guys! And so grateful for all they’ve given. Noles Forever! ❤️

Love Coach Norvell! Class Act all the way!!!! He is hurting along with the fanbase tonight and these past month, and it shows how much he cares about the kids! GO NOLES!!!! 2024!!!!

If it was a true brotherhood. There wouldn't have been so many opt outs! Just shameful! Deloach is a real one.

We gonna get through this it can only go up from here 🔴

Roll Tide Fellas!!!! GA is no joke but you gave it all you had. Heads up. You had a fantastic season.

Go Dawgs. That said, FSU was hosed by the playoff committee. I hate that happened to your team.

Coach I’m an Alabama Fan, but I just want to say your an amazing coach and with a great team. Please don’t say you didn’t do a good enough job. Please don’t let tonight’s game reflect your season. Keep Your Head Up. At the end of the day, no it didn’t end how you wanted it to, but your still champions.❤Always Remember That.

Coach Norvell is obviously taking this loss hard. From a a diehard Dawg, take heart...the sun will rise again. Florida State has a coach who does things the the right way, but more importantly he cares deeply about his players. This was a loss, but it's also a springboard. I personally have more respect for Coach Norvell who is building something than a guy like Ryan Day who was given the keys to a Ferrari and turned them into a Chevy ( no offense to Chevy) while he whines and moans and makes excuses. Best of luck going forward.

Coach Norvell is a class-act as are most of the players & staff. Eff the @CFP @ESPN & Herby.

Bobby had his share of gut wrenching beat downs and last second losses. Norvell’s working through the same challenges but in a new uncharted era of semi pro football

Still will be and always be Go Noles 🍢🍢

He won't say it. But, the players who quit on the team and had the audacity to stand on the sideline and watch your team mates/freshmen get their face kicked in while you stand around in a t-shirt had to have felt like complete cowards. Georgia's players didn't sit out. Last year Alabama got left out and played their guys in a bowl game vs K-State. That included #1 pick Bryce Young, #3 Will Anderson Jr, and #12 Jahmyr Gibbs. Those programs have players who care about their legacy and the team. This was a really poor look for FSU culture. You didn't opt out. You quit and bowed out. I'm sure your team getting battered while you watched earned you loads of respect from them. Cowards.

This season will very memorable but this loss won't be. I'm very proud to where we are today as a Nolefan this season was a unremarkable journey. We will never forget how the CFP screwed us over and the players who opted out for this game. We still have our heads high after this loss but we will get more stronger through the offseason. The future still in the hands of FSU, Coach Novell will lead that. GO NOLES!!!

Takes a lot of class to get up there and answer questions after that type of game

FSUs program is night and day better from what he had to take over. The opting out really sucks. I understand the climate and trends of college football but man seeing the majority of the UGA players in the bowl game really made me envious of their players commitment to the program or coach which ever it is. As a fan the totality of this situation was hard to watch.

Keep your heads up! You have the exact same season record as the Georgia Bulldogs!! "13-1" !! Great Year!!

Mike is the coach that we need and want. He has us going in the direction and you can tell his players will run through a brick wall for him.. Go FSU

You are an amazing coach and an amazing team! You have brought all of us so much joy this year and i can't wait to see you all soon and all the players you have helped to groom into being true gentlemen, scholars and NFL players! I hope everyone goes with the Pack!❤

If someone had told me fsu would be 13-1 with the one loss being to the back to back champs, I would’ve slapped them silly. Huge accomplishment by norvell

Amazing the amount of people that are clueless of the situation. Sadly, they live amongst us.. You could explain it to them and they still wouldn't understand.

Go NOLES and we had a great run and great year. Proud of our team and proud to be fsu fan!!!! Thanks coach norvell and our guys. We know and wont forget what was taken from us. >>>-------->

It is hard to watch Coach choke up. You can tell his heart breaks for his young men. His character and dedication is second to none. I hope each and every member of the CFP watched this game and maybe will realize that their insane decision broke this team. These young men played their guts out and were tossed aside because of MONEY! Some of them couldn't take it. Mike knows it, we know it and I hope they (CFP) knows it too. Maybe they'll find it in their hearts to move forward with some motivation other than money so this never happens again to another group of young men. It's unfortunate it had to be the team I've loved, and will continue to love, for nearly 50 years. We're 13-0 and ACC Champs! NOONE can take that from these young men. I hope they and Coach can put this mess behind them and celebrate their accomplishments. Keep climbing. Always a Nole. Go Noles.

Just crushes me what could have been… Florida state forever ❤

Proud of this team! Go Noles!

that smile from norvell at 6:50 when deloach corrects him to "5 years at FSU" lol. so clear he loves the kids

Looking forward to next season. We obviously didnt have enough fire power tonight. But i saw some things i liked. A lot of young guys got some serious run and showed some promise. The climb continues!

First, congrats to UGA for the win. Y’all had a great year. As for FSU, hats off to a great year. It’s clear that the snub had a major impact on the team and one can’t blame players for not being “up” to playing in the Orange Bowl. Fact is, the team from last year bought in and came back for a reason and as Norvell said - they did literally everything they were asked to do. To do that and STILL get robbed of an opportunity is going to be extremely hard mentally for 18-24 year olds. I personally can’t blame the team for basically falling apart with the transfers and opt outs - to them it was playoffs or bust and when they got snubbed I think mentally there was nothing to play for anymore - hell, most of us fans felt the same way. Reality of the situation though is this - ESPN was lobbying against FSU in the playoff, even before Travis got injured. They, like everyone else saw the very real possibility that Alabama, despite their poor showings against multiple teams, mainly Texas, USF and Auburn, could possibly beat UGA and that if it happened, there was no way to justify a #8 SEC Champion in Alabama over Texas, because they lost to them, or even worse, an undefeated FSU team. Travis getting hurt sealed FSUs fate, though it’s highly likely even if he hadn’t got hurt, FSU still would have been snubbed and the reason switches from his injury to something else like SOS. FSU wasn’t gonna be in no matter what and when you consider that the ACC had 5 people on the committee, to include the chairman, it only adds fuel to that fire. This game meant nothing and the result in no way defined the team that went undefeated. That team will always remain undefeated. The team that lost by 60 is a completely different one. Go Noles

Congrats on a great season and respect to the guys that stuck it out with their teammates! ❤

I’m so glad this team wasn’t in the playoff. In making the argument to be in the playoff, FSU relied on this being a team game, that the absence of personnel shouldn’t and doesn’t matter. So I don’t want to hear Norvell talking about how young his guys were in the Orange Bowl, how inexperienced they were,etc. Either missing players means something (and you don’t belong in the playoff) or it doesn’t. If it doesn’t, you had no excuse for losing by 60 points. Can’t have it both ways. Just admit the loss of significant players negatively impacts your team, just like it does every team.

You have to appreciate the young men who hung in after the CFP snub and showed up today. Unfortunately, there were several players who weren't invested in the team and bailed on their brothers. I think that's a main difference between the FSU and UGA programs. As a Georgia fan, I want to commed the FSU team that showed up and gave it their all. They are a class act. Mike is a great coach and will have continued success at FSU.

Thanks Coach N. And thanks to all our Noles who showed the nation who we are tonight.

Coach and Kalen’s emotions showing through in this video got me tearing up at 6am on a Sunday mornin 😭 💪 😅 Unforgettable season, shouts out to the whole tribe. 2024, here we go!

Go Noles! Amazing season of work translating to hard-fought success, we appreciate you for giving us special memories and camaraderie! Climb on next year!

much love to coach and the team. lot's of us still believe!!!!

Standing ovation for all the kids that played in this game that meant nothing. Don't give up. Build on Norvell coaching expertise. Outstanding commitment from such young inexperienced players

Mike Norvell thank you for successful season (13-1) yes the Orange Bowl did not do like we wanted to go keep your head up focus on the transport portal

"We all love each other." ~Brock Glenn FSU players didn't love each other enough to NOT opt out and demonstrate their commitment against GA on the field.

You a good coach man and seem a great person..coming from a sound hurricane fan

Norvel looks like he is going to explode when you watch his expressions.

So proud of my Noles. Thank you for all you do

Keep Your Head Up Guysreally crazy how they can do

So this we should have been in the playoffs is put to bed now. Good night!

I love this team and my respect for Norvell has only increased after seeing how he’s handled dick kick after dick kick in stride. I hope he gets a vacation.

That was hard to watch! My heart has broken for Coach, the players, the staff, AND the Nole fans everywhere. So proud of the accomplishments of this special team that will be remembered for many years to come. 13-1 is amazing and hard earned for a team that never gave up and continued the CLIMB!

Now and forever a Seminole! FSU is my Alumni and I will always bleed Garnet and Gold ❤

let's take a moment to appreciate the committee's decision

This xfer portal is killing ncaa..Disgusting guys quitting on team mates so easily

From Georgia, Heads up FSU We love you, It was a rough night but you guys had a wonderful season.. Beat the Gators and the Cains next year and let's do it again in the playoffs..

That boy literally stated of staying and learning and learning to be something he sounds like a Georgia boy I'm proud of him and I wish him well

I would like to add that Brock has talent. With more experience he could be a great QB.

This is entirely on the players. Norvell can only coach, they have to catch, run, block, and tackle, and they did a piss-poor job of all of it. They should apologize to the coaches and the fans

Kudos to the FSU players who opted to play!

Bless you Coach! Kalen! Brock! Noles will be back!,🍢🍢🍢

I am proud of the NOLES! I love how hard the team competed all night long, even while being blown out they kept fighting. It wasn't pretty, but they showed character and resilience. Go NOLES!

10:07 as a fan of FSU since I was 16 years old and then a student all through the 90's I'm proud of the players that showed up to play, conflicted about the ones who didn't suit up but stood there and watched the game. I'm always a Seminole and will always be a Seminole. At this time, I feel college football is broken. Between the Portal and the NIL the game is broken and needs to be fixed. However, those in charge brought the things that broke the game and I can not trust them to fix it. Go Noles.

Nothing but respect! ☝️🍢🍢🍢

We have a great coach on mike Norvell!!

The last month hasn’t taken away from a great year. Looking forward to see how we build from this season. Go Noles!

13:05 "we'll never know..." Heartbreaking.

Never liked the Noles Wide right was my two favorite words Just thought they had no class BUT I was absolutely wrong The entire program has represented its city and state with pride and dignity and will be remembered long after the score You will be back Kudos to you all

To the players who played, all props and thank you for playing. To those players, like VERSE, who QUIT on the SEMINOLES, your coaches, and your teammates, your numbers should never be retired, and in all honesty, all your stats should be erased!!!!! YOU NEVER, NEVER, NEVER QUIT on your TEAM, and ALOT of you did!!!!! NOLES fan for life.

With or without starters, UGA was the better team, just being honest. UGA is the one who is 1 of the best 4. Committee blew it.

Didn’t hear the coach congratulate Georgia and recognize how great they played. Talk about disappointment etc. Talk about 13 games and something they will never know. What we know is FSU got drilled in a game they earned the right to be in.

This team will be remembered as the team that quit on their fans when it didn't go their way where they could've proved that they deserved to be in the CFP

I’m still a Seminoles!!!

For the most part the UGA players didn’t quit the team and played 🤙

Oh they definitely looked special out there, coach

Lifetime Dawg fan here. Nothing but respect for this coach and his players who showed up and saw their season to fruition. They were definitely snubbed, unfairly. But, these players took the high road and didn’t let their fans down….. I hope the fans remember them and appreciate them….

You see the pain in his eyes, this was tough. Thankful for you Coach! You coach a great team with great culture. Excited for the future! Go Noles!
