FSU WR Rashad Greene on what players from city of Miami have in common: "They all talk too much."

From a man whose actions speak a 1000x louder than his words, I agree.
So I said to him: Arthur, Artie come on, why does the salesman have to die? Change the title; The life of a salesman. That's what people want to see.

Lake...is that Category 5 thing a veiled reference to the number of fingers Miami fans like to hold up after they lose the FSU game every year?

Man, you guys are STILL whining about the Fiesta Bowl?

That was like forty years ago.

Bad calls happen.

Champions push obstacles aside and do what it takes to get the job done.

Take me, for example. I woke up with a head cold this morning, and I'm still here at work, producing beautifully. Like a champ. It's like the Jordan Flu Game, only in an office, and without Scottie Pippin here to cradle my head in his hands.

After the pass interference call, the Canes could have brushed it off and finished OSU off.

Instead, they just curled up in the fetal position and died.

Miami had multiple chances to put that game away. The U's defense gave up two touchdowns following the pass interference, and then OSU pulled out that epic goal line stand to end the game. Game was Miami's to lose, with the ball on the two yard line, 1st down. And your boys got stuffed FOUR times in a row to close it out.

Next you're going to cry fowl on Florida State pushing Winston's hearing back to the end of the regular season...

Haha. A selfish champ. You should have stayed on the bench, keeping your germs to yourself, and let your backup have a chance to rise to the occasion. That's what team depth is all about. Spreading that nasty ninja around will only take down teammates, truly resulting in a significant loss of overall production! That's a win for the opposition!

Would love some fried gator tail, but Missouri cleaned house in the dried up swamp a few weeks back. Chief Osceola will have to work for now!

Oh boy, today's fun news:

QuoteNew York Times reports new case where FSU athletics appears to supercede the law
Posted: November 14, 2014 - 2:36pm  |  Updated: November 14, 2014 - 3:08pm
By The Times-Union   

A New York Times article published Friday -- titled 'For an F.S.U. Football Player, a Hit-and-Run Becomes Traffic Tickets,' – documents yet another case in which legal issues intersect with high-profile college athletes.

The lengthy investigation brings the roles of Florida State University and the Tallahassee Police Department question.

The Times' story tells of Seminoles' starting cornerback P.J. Williams, who allegedly drove into the path of a vehicle being driven by a teenager heading home from a shift at Olive Garden. Williams and two passengers, including teammate Ronald Darby, abandoned their wreckage and fled on foot in the early hours of Oct. 5, according to the Times.

Hours earlier, the Seminoles had secured a 43-3 home victory against Wake Forest.

An excerpt from the article states, "The New York Times looked into how the police handled this case, reviewing law enforcement records and interviewing witnesses, lawyers, the police and a university representative.

The examination found that Mr. Williams, driving with a suspended license, was given a break by the Tallahassee police, who initially labeled the accident a hit-and-run, a criminal act, but later decided to issue him only two traffic tickets. Afterward, the case did not show up in the city's public online database of police calls — a technical glitch, the police said."

According to the story, "By the next day, it was as if the hit-and-run had never happened."

Love the Noles, but this is really starting to get disgraceful. I have no interest in autographs or crab legs, but the way that the Tallahassee Police Department and the university have covered up, sidestepped, and generally minimized some very serious allegations is pretty disgusting, and a black eye on both the football program and the university.

I reallly hate to say it, but it's gotten to the point where the NCAA really needs to step in and do something. It should have happened the second they found out that the TPD was tipping off Jameis Winston and his legal team about a rape case.

Will still enjoy every moment of the ass-kicking on Saturday, but I'm really starting to feel conflicted about supporting what's going on over in Tallahassee.

^ what is really sad is this is the norm for the revenue-generating sports at most of the big schools

Don't make excuses for this bad behavior. Nothing that a NCAA death penalty can't fix!

Haha. That's nothing. You must have never saw the Barrow hit on Tamarick Vanover. I think he's still laying on the field.
