Jamis Winston

[GlennW]

Tuesday afternoon, rather than studying Ted Roof’s Georgia Tech defense, FSU quarterback Jameis Winston was again defending himself against a nearly two-year-old accusation of sexual assault.

Dressed in a suit and tie, Winston entered a university code of conduct hearing shortly before noon. It was January 2012 when a woman accused Winston of raping her at his off-campus apartment. After investigating the allegation, the state attorney decided not to pursue charges. Tuesday’s twice-delayed hearing, overseen by retired Florida Supreme Court Justice Major Harding, was called to determine whether Winston would face university discipline over the incident.

I think I read that the hearing could last 2-3 days......that would really disrupt the practice schedule.

Having been to something like this (for academics, not out-of-class misconduct), I would expect that even if the hearings ended today, findings would not be settled for another week.

Winston might be distracted by all this, but I don't see much chance that he loses his eligibility before the weekend. All the better: I want to beat the Criminoles with their Heisman-winning 'star' on the field.

Perhaps, but we want to take them down at their very best so there will be no excuses when we whoop them, which I believe is an extremely likely outcome. So... hoping the hearing is over and Mr. FSU can study Coach Roof's defense at length. Kickoff... T-minus 98 hours...

Have to agree with ya. The itty bitty percent of a chance that we have to make the playoffs would be nil if we curb stomped the criminoles without the crab man...... bring him on!

Speaking of which, who all is planning to have crab legs as part of their tailgate/ game-watching party?

Beating them with Winston is the only way we get a shot at the playoff.

I'm cracking up at my desk about your labeling of Winsten as the crab man! Maybe I need to make a sign with my son for the game!

I'm looking forward to seeing the big boy from down under put that crab in a sack!

Yes. I want to beat FSU when they are at full strength. I am not looking for any extra advantage. We are good enough to take them on and do not need any extra help.

I don't think lost practice time is going to effect Winston, a 2 year starter. Lost film time is another matter, but I'm guessing they'll take care of that.

I'd say the hearing would cause emotional tolls on him, but that would assume that he's feeling guilty. I sort of doubt that.

Which is why, if we had the chance to add a JW on our team, I'd say, "no thanks--I'd rather forfeit all our games than field a player of that 'calibre'.

I do not think he is losing practice time since they rescheduled the practice.......but those kinds of rescheduling can be annoying to the rest of the team as well.

I'm sure top priority is finding time to attend class and study.

My wife has been begging me to take her for crab legs for a couple of years now. We're gonna get some as a pre-game meal.

I think missing film time/practice time for him, and his teammates, is important in that it's such a short window before they play us so there wasn't much prep time available to start with and he/they could use the film time to work on films, etc. as our defense has been changing, depending on our opponents (like type of QB, RB's, etc.).

Also, just having this hanging over the team's head for so long takes a toll whether anyone wants to admit it or not. It frustrates you (notice some teammates refused to "testify" which may come back to bite him in the behind) and it distracts you and it's something that you just don't need to be having to worry about right before your Conference Championship.

C'mon, I just made a joke about JW not paying for his. I like the seafood guy at Publix too much to steal from him. We plan on actually purchasing our crab legs, and I am sure they will be delicious!
