DEFENDING HEISMAN TROPHY BENCHED FOR VULGARITY
Defending national champion Florida State University – the No. 1 college football team in the nation – will be without its star player for the first thirty minutes of Saturday’s Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) opener against No. 24 Clemson.
Last year’s Heisman Trophy winner Jameis Winston was suspended for the first half of the game by school officials for yelling a vulgar phrase on campus.
According to multiple witnesses, Winston stood on a table in the middle of the FSU student union and yelled “f*ck her right in the p*ssy” – referencing a (NSFW warning) fake video that quickly turned into an internet meme.
FSU issued the half-game suspension after a flood of tweets referencing Winston’s outburst were published by the website Deadspin .
“As the university’s most visible ambassadors, student-athletes at Florida State are expected to uphold at all times high standards of integrity and behavior that reflect well upon themselves, their families, coaches, teammates, the Department of Athletics and Florida State University,” the school said in a statement. “Student-athletes are expected to act in a way that reflects dignity and respect for others.”
Winston’s outburst probably wouldn’t have been as problematic save the allegations of sexual assault leveled against the 6-foot-4, 230-pound Bessemer, Alabama native last year.
Prosecutors declined to press charges in the wake of the allegations, citing issues with the investigation and the unlikelihood that the evidence collected would be sufficient to result in a conviction.
Winston completed 22 of 34 passes for 444 yards and three touchdowns en route to a 51-14 dismantling of Clemson last year in Death Valley.
The Seminoles (2-0, 0-0 ACC) were 21-point favorites over the Tigers (1-1, 0-0 ACC) prior to Winston’s suspension being announced. Within minutes, the betting line had dropped to 17 points.
The game is critical because for the last five seasons, the winner has gone on to represent the ACC’s Atlantic Division in the conference championship game. FSU enjoys an all-time 19-8 edge over the Tigers.
Clemson and FSU are scheduled to kick off at 8:00 p.m. EDT on Saturday at Doak Campbell Stadium in Tallahassee. The game will be televised nationally by ABC.
UPDATE
Winston has now been suspended for the entire game …

What do we expect out of a guy that steals crab legs? If he weren’t playing football, he’d be slinging rock or snatching purses or some other low form of life activity.
Winston,Rice,Peterson etc….typical Democrat Party voters…lawless frauds
Seriously, your desire to immediately insert party politics is nauseating.
The truth hurts, huh?
Hell you just described 90% of NCAA Division I football players.
And all the taters now think they will win. No, it will be just like every other “big game” they play. Close or even tied at the end of the 1st half, then The other teams pulls away in the 2nd. Then they claim “Well we were in it for the 1st half” as if that is a win in any way
And all the taters now think they will win.
Not all of us, Chief.
Zackly, who the eff are “all the taters” that are saying this? Noone, thats who.
So rather than being a 20.5 pt game, its a 14 pt game. A loss is loss in my book. JW not being there won’t change the ass beating Clemson will get this weekend.
So “Same story different day”, stick that up your cock ass.
TBG is a realist and I don’t know about you but go read your brethren over on Coots Beak or Tigetnet claiming it will be a landslide. So E Norma Scok (cute you make your tiny penis reference their you child) 2 people of fitsnews comment section claim it will still be a loss and somehow you think your argument is correct, go stick it up your own ass little man
I took a quick look at Tigernet and many there seem to think Clemson would have won regardless.
How do you think Clemson will do Saturday if the players think they won’t win?
Hell..if you’ve been a Cock fan for more than 5 years, you already know the answer to that question, but won’t say it.
And you can stick that up your ass, fat boy.
And can you translate “cute you make your tiny penis reference their you child”?
WTH does that mean?
Awww, that’s cute peewee. catch talk to text on 1 mistake and focus on that to try to lessen the point. you know exactly how that translates “tiny”. Only a child makes a penis reference his screen name. You are right about one thing, if you don’t think you can win why play, but with that said why does Clemson keep showing up to play USC this decade. They aren’t playing so they aren’t winning so I guess they know they cant win.
There’s no lessening the point of your dooshiness.
Maybe you should start typing. More intelligible bullshit:
“They aren’t playing so they aren’t winning so I guess they know they cant win.”
WTH does that mean? Oh who cares.
I guess you know you really cant win this debate, so you must point out one word. WTH does your whole argument mean when you do that? Oh you don’t know, so you act like a bitch crying with your fingers in your ears. “I cant hear you, I cant hear you……”. Later dumb fuck, you made everyone’s point. Thanks for playing peewee, you almost made it to half time. Better than your team I guess.
What is YOUR point?
There’s not one Clemson fan (that isn’t the internet equivalent of an AM sports talk caller) that thinks Clemson will win. Noone has said anything about “winning the first half” either. Thats a Cock thing to do. That, and blame the refs when you lose.
So what I get out of this is you’re not too smart and you can’t operate a cell phone.
Last time Clemson played Texas A&M, Clemson won.
And this germane to the conversation how?
actually it was a reply to same story different day. This site is doing strange things. I replied to that post and then magically that post disappeared and my reply turned into a separate post. Now same story is back. Unfortunately Nancy Mace is now doing real estate so this site won’t be fixed anytime soon. IRT what is behind my post, I was merely reminding same story that USCe is not perfect in “big” games.
And it reminded the rest of us that you are an idiot. Good luck to Pickens Tech this weekend.
I would finally win against USC before you say anything. You already said stupid enough talking about a game from 9 years ago that had nothing to do with this story. At least my point has relevance.
you know its funny. You were quiet as a school mouse after you got beat by UGA, even more quiet after USC beat UGA, now Winston gets suspended and you are back talking out of your ass again for some reason. You must be proving my point that all of a sudden you think you are going to win.
65-42-4 still exists.
65-42-4 still exists.
Word.
so you came out of your hole for that? you haven won in so long the incoming freshman class on your team has in middle school and yet you talk trash. “my grandpappy saw Clemson win back in 43. Just go hide under your rock again and wait for tennis or something. Big boys are playing football and it has nothing to do with your dumbass
All the tater fans have a notebook full of scribbled “gets and stats” that they pull out any time they’re feeling 1) butthurt about something or 2) like they want to try to puff their chest out.
It’s a junior high school level tactic and it’s funny to watch. They’ve been feeling the burn at the state championship game for a long time now.
The smart ones plan to keep their mouth shut until they win again.
But as you notice, there aren’t many of them doing that.
Well, I didn’t do my part, but by God, it’s still a fact.
Impressive. The 1 time you beat A & M, by 1 point, was 9 years ago. Well, you rednecks do like living in the past. Last 5 times The USC played Clemson, The USC won. Seriously, you orange boys aren’t all this stupid, are you?
It’s an appropriate punishment. It should give Clemson a bit of an advantage at least, though I’m not sure if that’ll be enough. I think if Clemson can keep up their performance throughout the game it should be a close one, though.
lol..as if.
Clemson will get some momentum, turn the ball over deep, then get demoralized the rest of the game. Its the same story every big game.
“every” I assume that includes last year’s Orange Bowl.
Hold up a sec…Texas A&M just scored again.
You mean on USC?
And you cocks talk about Clemson fans liking history…
Interesting coaching decision. Fisher knows they have not looked like the best team in the country, and he is putting his team in a position where they will need to step it up against Clemson.
Also shifts some pressure to Clemson to take advantage of a half without Winston.
Boy, you don’t know much about coaching do you?
What is your point? Are you saying Clemson is so bad that FSU will not need to step it up?
That’s what I’m saying, I’m not sure about him.
I’m sorry. Perhaps I was unclear.
You don’t know shit about football or coaching.
You mad, Brah?
This was not Fisher’s decision. It was the administration.
Free Shoes University and their ‘ethics’ strike again.
Free Shoes University
Forced Sex University.
Please try to keep up.
I thought Free Seafood University came after Forced Sex University.

Touche’.
TBG will try to keep up in the future.
A) TBG thought Famous Jameis was very religious. (Maybe he’s a co-congregant with Mark Sanford?)
B) FJ has always set TBG’s GAYDAR pinging like a Publix Loss Prevention alarm…
Wonder what would have happened if he had yelled “F*ck him right in the a$$!”
Lol…Buz Martin would have interpreted that as a *mating* call and put on his best dress.
I’ve always wondered about his sexual orientation. Doesn’t really matter but he does come across as gay.
Let’s see, accused of rape, stealing crab legs, shouting obscenities, destruction of property, true pillar of the community. Give the man another heisman.
Heisman, hell…wait a bit and let the NFL shower him with a few million bucks…
I’m hoping he and his invincibility will try to write a check he can’t cash in the next coupla years in a bar or an alley somewhere and somebody will put a bullet in his head and shut him up so we don’t have to see him flappin’ his dis and dat jaws in the NFL.
Or maybe some coed will dispense of him if he tries to get something she doesn’t want to give him.
As a die hard tater till I die, I think Mr. Winston should be able to say whatever he wants on his campus and not be punished. This is PC nonsense writ large fueled by the passive-aggressive racism of our dear friends in the liberal media/academia complex. Let the kid play. He was not brought to Tallahassee to be a priest. If you have a problem with him, you have a problem with the corrupt institution of college football in general. Don’t hate the player.
Please don’t say Famous Jameis is shooting for a Communications degree. That presser made him look like the Special Needs Teaching students could use him for a crash test dummy. Oh, and have the added benefit of getting “#ucked right in the pu$$y”, whether they asked or not.
Really, just a 2 quarter suspension…what a joke! At least make it appear legit by giving this purloiner of shellfish a full game suspension…that would be seminal…
