I am almost done traveling for the summer. The Florida State camp July 16-18 will be my last, and then I am off to ACC Media Day July 20-22. After that, we'll be in full preview mode. I expect the talent at Florida State's camp to be some of the best it has ever been. Almost every elite target I spoke with at The Opening confirmed they'll be in town. I'll have a preview of the event Wednesday morning.

— TomahawkNation.com (@TomahawkNation) July 14, 2014-Here is a neat story by the Orlando Sentinel on Jameis Winston day. Winston speaks at length about his ups and downs.
-Bruce Feldman and Stu Mandel are now both at Fox Sports, which is apparently really throwing around its TV money. And they have a great new podcast called The Audible.
-What a cool story about Mark Richt and his humanitarian efforts for former players.
-Phil Steele says that Florida State is the team that, based on yards/play, is most likely to have the same or worse record. Of course, it's impossible to improve on a winning percentage of 100 percent.
-Miami may finally have hit on a JUCO defensive tackle. The Hurricanes badly needed it. We'll see if it shows up in games.
-Florida State ended the SEC's run of National Titles, and its run of media guides reflecting such.
-Florida State has seen some movement in the Vegas lines. Our "On The Line" podcast returns soon.
-Andy Hutchins looks at several scenarios for Florida.
-Remember the hubub about the new logo, which was supposed to be easier to embroider, looking poor on some embroidered merchandise? Turns out that was probably a hoax.
Remember the new logo botched polo (left) from a few wks back? Looks like it was inside out & reflected in a mirror. pic.twitter.com/0HX7Yd8ct5
— David Block (@davidraider88) July 14, 2014The guy who originally posted the "botched" logo got called out last night and and made his twitter account private. He got busted.
— David Block (@davidraider88) July 14, 2014I can say that the new logo and uniforms are not changing. Absolutely not. And further, it was FSU that came to Nike to ask for the change, not a suggestion by Nike.
-Mack Brown is now an analyst for ESPN. That will suck. He'll never criticize a coach or offer anything resembling analysis. Hooray platitudes.
-As always, I'll add to this throughout the day, so check back in.
