Gov. Ron DeSantis isn’t holding back when it comes to college football, saying that despite the divergent fortunes of the University of Miami and Florida State University programs, they both share one accomplishment.
“The one thing I can say, Florida State, you know, unfortunately they’ve only won one game and they beat Cal Berkeley. Miami also beat Cal Berkeley. So whatever they say about the state of Florida, we say we are still winning the war on woke,” Florida’s Governor said at Coral Gables‘ Comber Hall, where he was with doctors for an anti-Amendment 4 rally.
Miami is in position to make the College Football Playoff, per the latest national rankings. The Seminoles were flying high last year, but have descended to the doldrums this season. That’s causing a problem in the DeSantis household with son Mason, who is unhappy with the Seminoles’ soggy performance this year.
“I have a diehard 6-year-old son who’s a Florida State fan and he’s really struggling with the 1-6 season,” the Governor relayed. “I said, ‘Son, I don’t know if it’s going to get any better this Saturday when we have to go play at Miami. We’ll see what happens.'”
DeSantis has weighed in on the mixed performance of college football teams in the state many times, though this may be the first where he has tied his hopes to a private university’s performance. He has said he believes that, had the College Football Playoff existed in the 20th century, in-state teams would have been competitive routinely.

Cal Berkeley. That football powerhouse? Ranked #2 scholastically in 2025.
FSU, ranked #23 scholastically in 2025, They are #1 for Greek Life so if you want to party with college girls, Ron, there ya go! It wouldn’t look as unseemly as partying with high school girls.
The U, ranked 63rd scholastically in 2025. Been on a decline the past decade.
You might want to concentrate on universities being scholastic institutions. That way, they can actually define what “woke” is. Lord knows, Ron, you can’t.

I essentially make about $9,000-$13,000 every month on the web. It’s sufficient to serenely supplant my old employments pay, particularly considering I just work around 10-13 hours every week from home. I was stunned how simple it was after I attempted it duplicate underneath web…..

Let’s see your college resume. DeSantis graduated from Yale and then received his law degree from Harvard.

Scholarship athletes are the second form of privilege at the ivies, after the Legacies.
Not that Dee needed the extra help on his classes or exams that jocks get at most schools.

FSU hasn’t been the same since men were admitted and a football team added.
It was once a pinnacle of female intellect, energy, and creativity.

Is Ron familiar with the hometowns of the athletes that he thinks are fighting his anti-woke battles (I don’t think these kids are all from Floriduh)? Does he have some non-public knowledge that they care about his fetishes or that all the kids playing for Berkeley (the only team that FSU has been able to defeat) are non-binary? Let the kids play; try to be a respectable grown-up.

DeSantis is certified racist POS. Keep your political BS to yourself. Not one coach or player cares about your anti woke BS.

Rona doesn’t have the right to redefine “woke” in the twisted manner that he trumpets over and over and over and over. That slogan didn’t work out for his wannabe presidential ambitions and we are all tired of his BS. Screw off Rona!

I think it’s pretty obvious that Ron DeSantis is at the end of his political career and that is a good thing for Florida and America.u
