Unconquered

Eric Ryan #62 OL78-82 passed away today.
For any of you that played with Eric or if you knew him you would attest he was a great Seminole. A die hard fan until the end. Each game some of us old timers would get on skype to talk while we watch the game together regardless of where we were in the world. The last game we saw together was this year against UF. Eric Ryan hated everything there was about the gators.

He grew up in Sarasota, He loved Bobby Bowden. Eric was so proud when he and i stood together to talk with coach Bowden as he entered the Gator Bowl for his last game I think we were the last to talk with him before he entered to locker room with the team it is a moment we both will always remember.

You hear alot about the FSU Dynasty if you really want to know how it started ask some of the guys from the 79-80 team that went to the first Orange Bowls for FSU or the 81-82 Road Warrior team that put FSU on the map as the team that would play anyone anywhere. My friend Eric Ryan is part of those great FSU teams and a proud Florida State Seminole Warrior has fallen.
