...verse Zombies, really?

Glen Arthur Krause Davis

Tallahassee, you never seem to disappoint me. If you have not seen the grown adults playing Humans vs. Zombies, where they attack each other with Nerf guns, then you must be living under a rock. If you have not seen HVZ leader Glen Davis, then you are about to be in disbelief. Many people begin exciting hobbies such as running, knitting, or drinking. But Glen leads and participates in Humans vs. Zombies, with participating being an understatement. He takes it to a whole new level, way above your typical-everyday HVZ participant. I first met Glen through my neighbor Josh, who also plays HVZ. I walked into his room to find a large man wearing some of the oddest clothing I have seen in awhile. His outfit consisted of the following items; a Scottish kilt, a beret, gas mask, tall strapped black leather boots, a wireless walkie-talkie headset, and a satchel. Not to be forgotten, he was also loaded with weapons. Nerf “bombs” and automatic Nerf guns were apparently his weapons of choice. I have got to say, Glen was a nice guy, but the outfits and HVZ want to make me think otherwise. Thanks to the local Tallahassee FOX10 news station, even those who had not seen him in person, were able to see him during a feature on the six o’clock news. I can see Glen sticking around in Tallahassee for awhile, becoming an even bigger staple of Tallahassee culture.

Taking Back Doak

Jimbo Fisher

It is always tough to follow someone that had a long career and who was very successful, in any profession. Here in Tallahassee, we all get to watch every moment of the transition from Bobby Bowden to Jimbo Fisher as head man of the Florida State football program. Bobby Bowden is a household name in Tallahassee, as well as around the country. Bobby has been a longtime resident of Killearn Estates and has been an integral part of the Tallahassee community for decades. With Jimbo previously being the offensive play caller for the Seminoles the last few years, he has some notoriety but is still unknown to many. That will soon change. With a product on the field that has left a lot to be desired for the football team the last few years, the atmosphere at Doak Campbell stadium has been lacking what it had during the 1990’s. That is why in his first press conference as Florida State head coach; Jimbo stated that he wants to help “take back Doak”. I think that Jimbo has been doing just that already. He himself promoted the annual spring game, telling fans that he wanted them in Tallahassee and at the game, just like schools such as Alabama and Florida do. Tallahassee and Seminole nation responded favorably, with more than 51,000 people showing up at Doak, far exceeding previous attendance numbers. If Jimbo can keep it up and keep building excitement, he will be a part of the Tallahassee community for many years to come.
