He supposedly wanted a ship "kept open" for him while he looked around and made sure that he was sure about his choice of where he picked.

Don't know why the concept of not holding open a 'ship is so hard to understand. Had he felt warm and fuzzy elsewhere, we would be left holding a ship and he would be like "What?....I said I wanted to be sure, and never committed"

Two way street Zeb. Best of luck at the Clown College. Seriously, it is a good move for both.

Northmont grad tunes out Florida State drama
By Sean McClelland, Staff Writer
Saturday, October 17, 2009

With a university trustee saying 79-year-old football coach Bobby Bowden ought to be put out to pasture and other officials probably thinking it, the situation at Florida State might seem a bit chaotic.

Northmont High School graduate Zebrie Sanders doesn?t see it that way.

?There?s no distraction,? said Sanders, a starting offensive tackle. ?Everybody?s together, including the coaches. I don?t know where the rumors are coming from, but as far as we?re concerned, nothing?s going on.

?Like the coach always says, you can only handle what you can control.?

Sanders, a sophomore, has found a home on the right side of the line after arriving at FSU as a left tackle. He was switched last season and has started five of the Seminoles? six games.

A hot commodity coming out of Northmont, the 6-foot-5, 297-pound Sanders chose FSU over a variety of other traditional powers and has not regretted it.

?It?s going pretty good,? the business major said. ?Just trying to take one step every day to get better.?

Sanders started last season as a true freshman. After struggling early, he learned fast. In 466 snaps spanning his final eight games, he was not flagged for a single penalty. He made the Atlantic Coast Conference?s all-academic team, too.

?He?s a great kid,? said mentor Eric Wright, the ninth-grade Trotwood boys basketball coach and an Arise Academy truant officer. ?Whether he goes to the (NFL) or directly into business, he?ll do well. He?s a pretty level-headed young man.?

Making high-profile acquaintances doesn?t seem to be a problem. Florida quarterback Tim Tebow, who Sanders met on a recruiting trip to Gainesville, is a Facebook friend.

?It was just a request and I accepted it,? Sanders said, downplaying the connection. ?Florida State is where I wanted to go.?
