Jameis will miss the entire game against Clemson now.

 

Lol...  One thing social media has done is indict teams/organizations on their bullshit.

[Hollyw00d]

Yeah I'm personally looking forward to the day when the masses on twitter and facebook are making the decisions

[Vegas Halo Fan]

It's not a matter of making the decisions. It's a matter of a university's commitment to accountability being made public no matter how much they try to hide it. It is becoming increasingly difficult to conceal things. The Jameis Winston incident at FSU might never have come to light had it not been recorded by students in the area on their smartphones.

[Lou]

Social media is absolutely influencing these decisions.

The twits and facers should be commended for bringing such a heinous criminal to justice.

... and yet: FIRE SCIOSCIA! FIRE BUTCHER!

645 yards offense and a 21 point win isn't too badd.

Oregon tied with Wazzu at halftime.

How are they ranked so high?

I never said that.

I think its incredibly disingenuous that all these sports programs and organizations, pro and college, only decide to do the "right" thing after there is huge public backlash and they start losing money. You honestly believe these schools give a rat's ass about player conduct? The only thing that matters to them is money and wins. Depending on these people to be some sort of moral compass or any kind of role models is barking up the wrong tree, big time. Depending on them to influence kids properly or help show them the right way to do things is just foolish and naive.

like Charles.barkley said, these guys shouldn't be role models. They shouldn't even be part of the university imo. Many of the big time programs, the term student athlete is a joke.

what jameis Winston was stupid and obnoxious, no doubt. And he got what he deserved. But compared to some of the other thugs and knuckleheads in college football, he is small fish.

[Hollyw00d]

Washington state is actually playing well, and at home.

Florida looked like crap and hung with Alabama for three quarters in their house.

[Lou]

they were down 14 pts after 3 quarters and had scored all their pts off Alabama turnovers. 

bama outgained them 645-200

 

it was an ass-kicking

the reigning heisman trophy winner from the reigning national championship team (and current #1 ranked team) is a small fish?

 

ok

Try reading that again, using comprehension.

I watched this game from start to finish - and bear in mind that you're hearing this from a Florida alumnus: Florida's apparent competitiveness in the first half of this game was a total mirage. Three Alabama turnovers accounted for all three scores, one directly (a fumble returned for a touchdown). Florida's two touchdown drives (31 and 16 yards, respectively) combined covered 40 yards less than the touchdown throw on Alabama's first play from scrimmage. The Gators' offense was an absolute disaster (as it has been ever since Will Muschamp arrived in Gainesville), and the defense, supposedly the strength of the team, set a school record for yardage allowed in a single game. Florida's quarterback completed less than a third of his passes, and his QB rating was 23 on a 1-100 scale. Florida did not have anything resembling a sustained drive all game long, and the only thing between them and losing this game 63-0 was four Alabama turnovers.

 

The surprising thing to me about this season was the apparent optimism of some going in over Florida bringing in Duke's offensive coordinator (our third OC in four years, with the same results every time) and the delusional belief that Muschamp would keep his mitts off the offense. If you listen to Muschamp speak about offense, it is clear that he sees it as little more than a mechanism to rest his defense. He talks in terms of the number of plays the other team runs, time run off the clock and so forth. Never anything about yardage, scoring or sustained drives. If he could figure out a way to win a 0-0 game, that would be his wet dream.
