FSU Football Fight Club

I knew this would be a good weekend when I got my hotel reservations for Gainesville, but hot damn the celebrating is starting early!

Several of Florida State's top receivers were involved in a fight on campus today at the student union, but early reports from sources indicate the players involved were defending a teammate who was sucker-punched by an unidentified student.

First of all sucker punches are never fun. But riots between football players and frat brothers are freaking hil-arious. (This is what got Ron Zook on Jeremy Foley’s bad side. That and losing to Mississippi State.) Some websites are reporting this stemmed from a chance encounter with a young lady at a club (same thing happened to me when I was in my riots at Reitz Union). In that case, we’ll take the side of the FSU player (reportedly Taiwan Easterling) who was jumped because that’s what a GDI would do. Although, the best line comes from our friends at Tomahawk Nation;

I forgot that Wednesday is "Market Wednesday" in the Union.  Market Wednesday basically consists of local merchants peddling their goods.  Some student organizations demonstrate, and some African American fraternities do their step routines as well.  All on Wednesday.  The place is pretty rowdy.

My goodness, what the hell is going on in Tallahassee? The FSU Union is “rowdy”? Again, like I said, hil-arious. Of course, please note that Myron Rolle is a Rhodes Scholar candidate. No seriously. Please. FSU insists.

(By the way, I am aware that Ronnie Wilson fired a gun like he was an Iraqi celebrating the fall of Saddam, Jacques Rickerson tried to choke out his girlfriend and Jamar Hornsby stole a dead girl’s credit card. But those were all sad, not hil-arious. Ok, maybe Ronnie Wilson was funny.)

Who was he firing at?

Might help decide the issue.

Also, doesn’t Tony Joiner get in that list, but as someone that did something kinda funny that was actually cool?

Wilson ran out of a bar downtown and felt he was being threatened, so he decided to not only pull out his gun (first crime) but also fire it in the air to scare people off (second crime). Actually, out of all the UF football crimes, this is the most serious because of Florida’s 5-10-20-Life gun crime laws. Joiner had previous problems but the tow truck thing is tame compared to Hornsby and Rickerson. Also, at the time I defended Wilson on AM850 in Gainesville by saying he was just blowing off steam. I was very much being a homer.

The Joiner thing was stupid

The guy at the towing company told him he could do what he did (go in and take the car) but the guy who reported him didn’t know it. He was totally in the right and they didn’t press charges.

I could be wrong though

But, he helped out his girlfriend.

Respect should be given when reporting that story

Oh. Good for you.

He shoulda ran to the nearest firing range though.

Jermaine Cunningham’s assault with a deadly sandwich story….

http://withleather.uproxx.com/?p=4504

I agree with Jermaine, he probably bought a combo meal and the dude tried to charge him extra for chips. He must have taken the “Big Grab” instead of the regular size! Bastards.

I concur...

…one of the greatest stories in a long time.

I love blogs...

“Hmm… today, I shall report the arrest of a football player for using a sandwich as a weapon, then somehow steer it towards hot chicks. Wait, I did that yesterday…”

The thing about Myron Rolle is tight

Good for him. I mean, he’s a good DB, but to be a Rhodes scholar nominee is impressive. Especially for a Seminole.

I could be wrong though
