Florida State Seminoles
· 2026-06-25
The Florida State Seminoles' 'Sons of the Sixties' reunion took place at the Lodge at Wakulla Springs, where former players and coaches gathered to reminisce about their time at the university.
The reunion brought together notable figures such as Johnny Crowe and Ron Sellers, who played under Coach Bill Peterson in the 1960s.
The 'Sons of the Sixties' reunion was a chance for former players to reconnect and share stories about their time at Florida State.
Coach Peterson's decade in charge at FSU laid the foundation for the young program, which was just entering its second decade in existence.
The era produced future giants of the game, including three-time Super Bowl winning Head Coach Joe Gibbs, who worked under Peterson as an assistant.
Gibbs appreciated the opportunity to work under Peterson, saying it was a big deal for him to be hired at 26 years old.
The bonds of brotherhood formed during that time are still strong, with players like Crowe and Sellers cherishing the memories of their time together.
The Florida State Seminoles are set to face the New Mexico State Aggies on 2026-08-29, marking the start of their new season.
The team will look to build on the foundation laid by Coach Peterson and his 'Sons of the Sixties' in the upcoming season.
With the reunion serving as a reminder of the program's rich history, the current team will strive to make their mark on the college football scene.
The 'Sons of the Sixties' reunion was a heartwarming occasion, with players like Ron Sellers saying "Florida State is my heart".
