2014 NCAA Football Thread

Hahahaha.

"Florida State fans haven’t been shy lately expressing their displeasure towards ESPN for its apparently one-sided coverage of Jameis Winston and agenda to promote the SEC. Once it was announced that ESPN Gameday would be in Tallahassee for this weekend’s FSU-Notre Dame game, many fans on the Tribal Council message board and on social media have called for a boycott or other measures to let the country know they disagree with how the football program has been treated by the world’s largest sports network.

Should Florida State fans put forth an organized effort to make a statement against ESPN this Saturday? If so, what would be the most effective way to make that statement?"

Know how to not have "one-sided coverage" about your stupid antics? Don't do stupid crap.

Please...boycott Gameday. We all know it won't happen. But we also know that no one else would care if they did.

I can't decide who to root for in that game. I've got a buddy who is an FSU fan that has been talking sooooo much crap...which is his right considering they're the defending Champs. So if FSU loses that would be great to talk trash to him. But...I just HATE ND so much...

Maybe a 0-0 tie and then the whole state of Florida could break off and float far, far away? Or just sink. That could rid us of the Gators, Miami, the Heat, FSU, and ND all at once.

 

"Florida State fans haven’t been shy lately expressing their displeasure towards ESPN for its apparently one-sided coverage of Jameis Winston and agenda to promote the SEC. . I no longer watch esecpn, Too overzealous to the sec for me.

 

I don't even know that he's a bammer as much as a professional troll. I don't think he gives a shit what happens, so long as he can twist it in a way that keeps the idiots call in. I can't believe he's been given the platform that he has. I can't stand him.

 

The whole boycott gameday deal on Twitter was over about 10 minutes after ESPN announced it was in Tally. The new thing that everyone is supposedly going to do is just make #BlameJameis signs with things like the titanic or Miami's like of fans

 

The lines on Georgia vs Arky (3.5) & Clemson vs BC (5)seem real low.

 

Arkansas is good, and Gurley is a big part of the GA offense.

 

I didn't see anyone wanting to boycott ESPN back when Jameis was a freshman. The networks wanted to have his babies back then. Then they start reporting on all the bad crap he's done and all of a sudden it's a "boycott".

And I like the line on UGA/ark. We haven't proven that we're that good of a team yet. And Richt said on Twitter he doesn't expect Gurley back this week. If we can have multiple games with a defense like last week, then I'll believe we're a legit threat. Until then, we shouldn't be more than a 3 point favorite against anyone. (And really, we're at Ark, so they get 3 points for home field.)

 

Also this. They're probably the best team to ever have a 15 game conference losing streak.

 

The issue isn't that they report it. It's all they talk about. When they open cfb daily with "More off the field trouble for jameis winston. Also some big games in the Big 12 this weekend." there's a problem. It just gets old. I watched a girl yesterday on tv who knew every word from her segment talking about jameis problems off the field but then struggled through talking about the actual football game this weekend.

When the gurley story broke we heard about it for a day. They haven't talked about it since. They hardly even mention it when they talk about Georgia's football game.

 

Maybe because Richt suspended Gurley as soon as it happened and your 8 year old coach trapped in a mans body continues to defend his meal ticket

 

There's been no accusation of winston taking money yet. Gurleys story broke with the immediate accusation of him signing for money. Also I don't think it was right for him to be suspended immediately like that based on an accusation. After an investigation if they find him guilty then suspend him. You're giving these dealers and Vegas gamblers a lot of power if we start suspending players based solely on accusations.

 

Why suspend him when James Spence said he didn't pay Jameis?

 

You just asked why it wasn't being talked about

 

Never asked why gurley wasn't being talked about.

 

Yep, misread you there.

 

Interesting parallel between crablegs dominating ESPN and dominating this thread...

I don't want them to win and I hate Rudy...BUT Rudy might be the only shot at knocking FSU down at this point....

 

if ND wins this weekend they still have a pretty tough schedule. They could easily drop a game towards the end. This weekend is FSU's last big hurdle before the playoffs

 

Not to mention Gurley was never accused of RAPING somebody. There's a lot a of reason to dislike Jameis. It really shouldn't be a surprise that he's talked about so much, here or ESPN. He's dumber than a pile of bricks, and he can't get out of his own way.
