Winston pushing referee before the snap

They should but they won't. The ACC wants a team in the playoffs

^^^this^^^ FSU is the ACC's only shot to get a team in the playoffs. Whoever plays them in the ACC will have to beat the ref's too. You saw the terrible calls against Miami last week, now this.

I can't wait until he's the NFL's problem.

As an athlete, Winston is very gifted and is a NFL caliber player but I hope every NFL team passes on him. There is too much baggage with him. I know it's not likely because the NFL has no soul but one can dream.

FSU is pretty much a harmless team on the field. I don't see a Top 10 team they can beat and most certainly they are going to lose big in the playoffs, if the Gators don't eliminate them.

It will be interested to see if the Committee will have the guts to move MSU ahead of FSU if for nothing else to see the continuing angst about FSU fans who think the Seminoles are getting screwed by the committee.

Fisher's statement about Winston shoving of the official being an accident is well.....infuriating. Right now FSU is walking on very thin ice and eventually the ice will break.

Wow, pretty crazy. I'll be honest. I don't think it's not fair to put Cam Newton in the same group as Winston. He's truly in a category by himself. Winston is completely out of control.

They are not a good team. Last year, their SOS stunk but they were dominant. This year, I'm pretty sure Vandy would hang with them for a half.

This is ridiculous. So let's see what he will get away with next.

And with every passing moment, Jimbo Fisher further channels his inner George Costanza...
"Was that wrong? Should he not have done that? 'Cause I gotta plead ignorance on this. I mean, if you had told me that this kind of thing was looked down upon..."

They will lose one of the next two games. Count on it.

The sickest thing is seeing FSU fans defend him. They have completely lowered their standards for this thug and for championships. I would have no problem calling out one of our players if this happened with our guys.

Fisher had the gall to say that the contact was "unintentional." I think Winston should be sat for the next game by the ACC or by FSU. The school is failing him by their blatant disregard for the rule of law.

I wish the official had fallen backwards and on the ground to make the incident look even worse! The ACC needs to suspend Winston for at least one entire game, maybe more.

It probably will, but like the delay in the FSU student conduct hearing until after the playoff games, the suspension will be for the first game of the 2015 season. Of course Winston will already be in an NFL rookie mini-camp.

Jimbo Fisher is the one who needs admonishing for continuing to defend Winston.

Or Urkel... "Did I do thaaaaaat?"

I think the ref was so relieved that he stopped at just pushing him that he forgot to call the penalty.

Great posts and spot on.

It's really sad and interesting to watch Penn State 2.0 play out in front of everyone like this. You wonder how something like that could happen, what it takes, how people have to behave... well, here it is. No, this isn't as bad, even if you total what Winston did, but it does involve alleged rape and it does involve cover ups. Mostly, it involves a lot of denial, a lot of looking the other way, a lot of forgiving things that shouldn't be forgiven. That's how you get from normal, sane behavior to this.

It really makes me wonder what did Ukeme Eligwe do to get kick out of a "fine institute of higher learning" like Florida State?

But I do hear Florida State is the Carnegie Hall of Thuganomics.

Unless something drastic changes soon, FSU will be off-limits for my children in the college selection process. I don't like the dangerous education they would get there.

I have never seen anything like CrabLegs pushing the ref. His sense of entitlement knows no bounds. Disgusting.

There are no rules for really good players. Don't you know that?
