In a bold move, Florida State head football coach Jimbo Fisher announced earlier this week that he is banning his players from using social media site Twitter in order to keep them from embarrassing the program in 140 characters or less.
Fisher's move comes after Seminoles cornerback Tyler Hunter took to Twitter to complain about being pulled over by the police earlier this month for incorrectly wearing his seat belt.
Hunter tweeted lyrics from rapper Lil Boosie in a rap entitled "[Expletive] The Police." Part of the lyrics quoted included the refrain "kill the cops." Now Hunter's tweet is just the latest black eye for the program - last week, punt returner Greg Reid was arrested in Georgia for possession of marijuana and minor traffic violations. The tweets by Hunter led to Fisher's ban of the social media site.
"Twitter is a privilege. When you represent an organization you have to represent it very well or we don't represent it," Fisher told Rivals.com network site Warchant.com. "When we are responsible enough to deal with it, we'll deal with it [return to Twitter]."
Last season, Fisher temporarily banned his players from Twitter after a shocking Oct. 8 loss to Wake Forest. The players were bombarded with angry tweets following the loss and Fisher was disappointed with how his players responded on the social media network.
With the Seminoles head coach slated to speak on Monday at ACC Media Day, Fisher was away from campus and squeezing in a personal trip, but he still contacted his team to let them know of the new policy.
"They have to be very smart, they have to learn," Fisher said. "They just don't understand the ramifications of things. They don't realize how global those things are."
NCAA to announce "unprecedented" penalties against Penn State
the DP?
IDK that's already happened. "Unprecedented" would suggest something that's never happened before. Could be worse than that. They might cancel the program for good lol.
It any school has anything negative to announce about their program, 9:01 am Monday would be a great time to do it. I'm sure Clemsux will sneak in "Sammy Watkins to miss no games for his arrest" tomorrow.
dude trollin... he still got a whole year to decide for himself, but he gettin all his boys hooked up first. he gon fuck around and end up hard committing to one of them elite schools come national signing day
Since I was bored, that Smitty post got me to thinking...
What became of the previous consensus "#1" recruits in the nation?
Since #1 picks in the NFL get ridiculed, it's only right we shine a light on the CFB equivalents.
2002 - Vince Young, texass - Well, he did win a ring. But he also was the QB in texass' worst lost to OU EVER. Even tho his NFL career has been laughable, this aint about the pros.
2003 - Ernie Sims, FSU - Safe to say he's lived up to the hype. Ended up being a 1st round pick.
2004- Adrian Peterson, OU - I don't really have to answer this one, do I?
2005- Derrick Williams, Pedo State - Who? lol. Had to google this one. Not a complete bust, but nothing special either. Basically a slash player. Jack of all trades, a master of none. 3rd round pick in the NFL.
2006- Percy Harvin, Florida - Pretty much same as AP. Mission accomplished.
2007 - Jimmy Claussen, ND - lol. So basically this bitter-beer-face lookin' cracka was overrated on every level he played on. Go figure. Fail.
2008 - Terrell Pryor, Ohio State - Another lol. I remember the hype around him was almost reaching Lebron-in-high-school levels. Turned out to be just another long-legged WR playing QB. Rode off into the supplemental draft sunset in a sports car bought and paid for by THE Ohio State university.
2009- Bryce Brown, Tenn/K-state - Super LOL. There were rumors that this dude was "so good" that he was considering playing in the CFL for millions fresh out of high school. Flamed out at tennessee, trannied to K-state and then left for the NFL -- Just to become a 7th round pick. Fail, fail, fail.
2010 - Ronald Powell, Florida - Too early to say bust, but it's leaning that way. Led the team in sacks last year (6) but he's been outshined by plenty players in his same position in the same recruiting year. Also blowed out his knee in the spring game this year (shouts out to Emmith Smiff.)
2011 - Jadeveon Clowney, SCAR - First off, Malice, take a cold shower, second - He did have an impressive frosh year. If he stays out of trouble and improves his technique, he's an automatic 1st round pick.
2012 - DGB, Mizzou - Too early. Could go either way. Put it down in the Army game and all the recruiting camps he went to, but so did most of the above.
2013 - Dikembe Ibakachichi, (whichever program gives err-body an' his grandma a scholly) -- I'm not personally impressed with his highlights on the field or off. But to be fair, it's too early.
The funny thing is, as I researched all these, many of the TOP 5 players in each of those years were a bunch of niggas that I haven't heard from since. Something to think about as we high-five each other over a bunch of 16 and 17 year olds.

And by the way, Tom Wort was Austin Box's best friend on the team.
Great job, Noles fans. lmao

He doesn't have as much space between him and the rest like DGB or Adrian Peterson did.
