Man, I gotta tell you about this little project I dove into the other day. I was feeling all nostalgic, thinking about the good old days of college football, and it hit me – I wanted to dig up the 1986 Florida State Seminoles football roster. I remember watching those guys play when I was a kid, and I was curious to see who all was on that team. So I started my little mission.
First thing I did was hit up the internet, just typing in “1986 FSU football roster” into the search bar. Lots of stuff popped up, a little overwhelming, to be honest. But I started clicking around, trying to find a reliable source.
I spent a good chunk of time weeding through a bunch of websites. Some were just general sports sites with a little info on college football summaries. Then I found some more specific stuff, like old NCAA pages, but nothing that really gave me the full roster. I even stumbled upon some random articles about some other team that called Mississippi State Bulldogs. It’s not my target, but those things happened sometimes.
Then I figured, maybe there’s something on those old school websites, like the kind where you can learn HTML and stuff. But nope, that was a dead end. I even thought about trying some social media sites, but honestly, who’s posting a 1986 football roster on there? Probably no one.
Finally, after what felt like forever, I found a website that looked promising. It had some basic stuff like “Starters are marked with an asterisk ().” That looked like the kind of detail I was after. It wasn’t the easiest site to navigate, but I was determined. I scrolled and scrolled, and there it was, the 1986 FSU football roster. I felt like I’d struck gold!
I started going through the names, some I recognized, some I didn’t. It was like stepping back in time. I even saw the name “Alan Kelly” and it reminded me of an old quarterback I used to watch. I decided to make a list of all the starters, just for fun. Here’s what I put together:
1986 FSU Football Roster – Starters (Partial)
- Alan Kelly
- … (and a bunch of other names I need to fill in later)
It wasn’t perfect, and I still have some names to fill in, but man, it was a fun little trip down memory lane. It just goes to show, you can find almost anything online if you’re persistent enough. It’s like a big digital treasure hunt! I spent maybe a couple of hours on this, but it was worth it. Now I’ve got this cool little piece of football history, and I learned a bit more about those old FSU teams along the way.
