Political Quotes

“this resolution awaits unanimous consent by the Senate, which I assume will occur today. We tried it for last Thursday night before the Senate adjourned, but I think everything has been cleared now. The resolution will commemorate the fact that Florida State is now the BCS champion. Senator Rubio and I have submitted the resolution. It commends the university for the 34-to-31 championship game, which the Senator from Alabama and I have just talked about. It caps a remarkable season of 14 and 0 for the Seminoles, led by head coach Jimbo Fisher and his Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback Jameis Winston. This Senator will concede to the Senator from Alabama that he is originally from Hueytown, AL--which is not too far north of the Florida line. So, for all the players, the coaches, the students, the staff and indeed the fans--all of those of Florida State have made the university and the entire State of Florida very proud by winning this game in such an exciting, hard-fought and well-fought game. I am grateful to our Senate colleagues for helping to agree to this resolution today.”
