2014 College Football Thread: The Will Muschamp Memorial

[Anoat]

Going to the Jimbo Fisher call in show in about an hour, I'm sure it's going to be a circus. Winston SHOULD be suspended for a full game, and make no bones about it, if FSU was playing Wake Forest this week or something, then he most certainly would be.

Oh give me a break, he was quoting a meme. Let's not get too outraged, it was a fairly funny thing to say until he killed it.

Yeah I don't see what the big deal is. Yelling terrible jokes and memes is what college kids do.

[noblemountain]

It is obviously short sighted on his part because of the alleged rape, but let's not forget he's a dumb kid playing football. Long term planning isn't going to be his specialty.

It isn't a big deal for most kids, but he has to realize that his life is an 24/7 job interview. If you want to be drafted #1 and be the face of someone's franchise, you can't do "what college kids do". The choice is his to make, and he's making it. Intentionally or unintentionally.

Sure but that's an NFL problem for the most part. From the university's perspective if some random lineman did the same thing no one would care.

No one would care enough to broadcast or report it either if it was a random lineman. Can't punish something that you aren't made aware of.

[Arvin]

It's stupid as fuck to punish him. Are you kidding? Especially because he isn't in the NFL. He's still a kid in college, its bullshit. I'm on team jameis

[Headspace]

I'm all for Jameis' suspension. Fuck him right in the pussy

[Bregor]

Well that's two points actually. If the university was aware of another random football player doing the same thing, they might suspend him, they might not. But since it's Famous Jameis it's a big fucking deal.

The other point is we only know about it because of Twitter. Which is also stupid. In before rival schools making hundred of fake accounts saying star players did stupid shit.

So glad I went to college in the dark ages.

[Anoat]

The fact that without Twitter this would be a non-story is absolutely crucial. Things like this have been happening for years at any major college program (kids being dumb, saying stupid shit), and getting away with it. For example, in 2004, FSU had a QB on the team by the name of Wyatt Sexton. Sexton started most of the 2004 season and things were generally looking up in his favor. Then shortly before the 2005 season started, he got HIGH AS FUCK on some bad shit, went out into the streets naked and laid down blocking traffic, and told everyone he was God. Cops pepper sprayed him and took him to the hospital and he was later released to his family. But you wouldn't know that story if you didn't live here and know people involved with it. Shortly after, he was removed from the team. The "official" story was that he had Lyme disease and left the team to focus on his health. But today? If that shit happened it would be up on Instagram in a second and ESPN would be live on the scene that night while Paul Finebaum calls in to tell everyone how he KNEW he was a bad guy, fuck everyone else, and Roll Tide.

So I don't understand... you guys want to go back to the stone ages so college kids can do kid shit without getting caught in a media frenzy? Evolve! Get with the fucking times. There is a camera at that intersection now, so stop running it. dealwithit.jpg

So everyone will know everything someone famous does, you have nothing to fear if you have nothing to hide. And that's progress. That's what I'm getting from this post.

To answer your question, I tend to think college is the perfect time to do dumb shit, so long as it doesn't hurt anyone else. Shouting memes in the quad doesn't hurt anyone else.

That kinda how, ya know, fame works. I don't make the rules, nor do I agree with them, but that's what comes with everybody knowing your name. Cue the cliche, it comes with the territory. That's the trade off. That's the cost to be the boss.

College is the perfect time to do dumb shit, but he's not just in college. He's the face of a brand. A multi-million dollar brand in a billion dollar industry. He had the option to just be a college kid and free to do all the dumb shit he wants, but that's not the road he took. You hurt the brand, you pay the consequences. Not saying I agree with it, but I definitely understand it. You can't tell me that you don't understand it. Safe-face/damage control. That's was these brands have to do to keep the money rolling in and remain in the public's favor. Corporate 'Murika.

it triggered me, actually

[Valisk]

LMAO! The category could have been better though. Like Activity or Favorite Pastime

[Mertron]

it is probably what he is doing though

[noblemountain]

it is 1000% what he is doing right now as he screams it.

Do you actually think he hurt the Florida State brand? Or the college football brand? For shouting something dumb in public? The only thing he damaged is his own draft stock, which won't matter if he owns bones the rest of the season.

it triggered me, actually

This triggered me, take it down plz

Anyway in conclusion sitting out one half is fine with me, anything more would be stupid. Let's not get our panties in a bunch over inane bullshit.
