FSU professor: Winston not the only problem


I wonder how may major programs have those same types of situations?

The inferiority complex at FSU is huge.

But well-deserved. Consider back in the day how many BIG, BIG games they lost like to Miami, wide left... wide right... They know the SEC is their best fit, but they'd stop being the big fish in a stagnant pond and have to really work for any championships they might win. I'm not saying they aren't good - I'm saying for FSU the ACC is a short-cut, and bashing the SEC is an excuse.

Rustled?

Nope. You're gonna need to make a lot more shitty posts before you come close to rustling me, junior.

The bad press is a result of Jameis being a completely unlikable individual. All that preaching and those clown faces on the sidelines...

Wow, I read this and felt sick.

"It was just me and him in my windowless office on the fourth floor of an empty campus building," Robert says. The player submitted his essay and went down the hall for a drink, while Robert read it and promptly "freaked out."

The paper was "a very graphic, very detailed, very proud telling of how he basically got his high school classmates together to beat the shite out of this 'fig'"—a word used often in the work—"and literally kick him in the teeth to teach him a lesson." They were sick of their mark "acting like a girl," Robert recalls, and so they went about punching him in the face, emptying his gumline. The tone of the player's essay was that "he was very proud of himself. He had taken the initiative to organize this beating."

Robert panicked. The essay's victim "talked sexually, had tight clothes, and had feminine features—some of which could be certainly be said of me," he says. "Why would he give that to me? I took it in the moment as a personal threat."

When the player returned, Robert faked getting an important text and begged out of the conference, then ran down to a mentor's office to report the paper. The situation was handled well, he said: He never had to see that student again. Still, he had no clue as to the player's motives—or his rehabilitation. "Who knows if he learned anything?" Robert says. "It would be nice if a coach or someone from the Athletic Academic Advising Program said something to him."
