The Chris Rix Interview - Part One

Rix4 On January 1, 2005, Chris Rix took off his FSU uniform for the last time. Eighteen months later, Seminole fans are still talking about him. So we thought it was time to hear what Chris has to say. We sat down with him in the heart of the O.C. (trendy Newport Beach, California) where he makes his home with wife, Anita.

In Part I, Chris tells us how he got to Florida State, about his relationship with Chris Weinke, and the challenge of adjusting to a new Offensive Coordinator and QB Coach in 2001 — just when he was rushed into the starter's role (thanks to the sudden departure of Jared Jones).

Jamie Dukes (1982-85):
FSU's Four-Time All-American OL

Hosts_dukes_3 How did one of FSU's greatest offensive linemen end up in Tallahassee and not Athens?  What message does he have for today's Seminoles?  And guess who was the biggest hell raiser on the team during his years? (Hint: a mainstay of message boards)

Here's Jamie on everything from beating Nebraska in Lincoln to a promising freshman named Deion.
(Note: Recorded before the 2004 season.)
