Everett Golson eager to see the view from Seminoles’ sideline

in Sports/Top Headlines by

Everett Golson was standing near one of the sidelines at Doak Campbell Stadium on Florida State’s campus on a sunny morning this summer, quietly taking a long look toward the empty bleachers. His mind wondered: What if? What if the offensive pass interference flag — one he still thinks wasn’t exactly warranted — hadn’t come out at the end of the game and denied the Notre Dame team that he was leading what would have been a huge win at…

Dalvin Cook back in big picture for FSU

in Sports/Top Headlines by

It’s official. Florida State now knows which team photo to use for 2015. Dalvin Cook is back in the FSU picture in more ways than one. Earlier this month two team photos, one with Cook as well as a provisional without him, were taken in the event the legal system threw Cook and the Seminoles for a loss. Following his acquittal on Monday of misdemeanor battery charges, Cook returns to an FSU squad ranked tenth in national pre-season polls. While…

FSU’s motion to dismiss lawsuit denied by district court judge

in Sports/Top Headlines by

The play stands as called. Florida State’s motion to have a Title IX lawsuit dismissed has been denied by U.S. District Court judge Mark E. Walker. The trial will proceed in July of next year. The university had argued that its response to the claims of accuser Erica Kinsman, a former student who says she was raped by Jameis Winston, was neither indifferent or unreasonable. The accuser has alleged that no one at FSU offered her safety precautions as she was…

Confident Jameis Winston ready to take over Bucs’ offense

in Sports/Top Headlines by

The large billboard standing on a major thoroughfare a few blocks from the home of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers suggests an offensive explosion is on the horizon. Jameis Winston is preparing to lead it. “Cannons will fire,” reads the sign bearing an image of the top pick in the NFL draft presumably poised to throw a touchdown pass. “Whatever it is,” a television commercial implores, “he’s got it.” Coach Lovie Smith and general manager Jason Licht are banking on their…

FSU, Florida look to transfer quarterbacks

in Sports/Top Headlines by

What they want is a ready-made quarterback. What they want is someone to win now. Perhaps that is why both Florida State University and the University of Florida have decided to forego their usual plan of growing their own quarterbacks. Perhaps that is why both programs are interested in buying used. Anymore, it’s a trend in college football, to find a one-year transfer who can help a program get over the hump. That’s why FSU has imported former Notre Dame…

Myron Rolle defends Jameis Winston, says Bobby Bowden wrong to criticize QB

in Apolitical/Top Headlines by

Former Florida State star Myron Rolle says Bobby Bowden was wrong to say Seminoles supporters believe Jameis Winston was an embarrassment to the school. Rolle won a Rhodes Scholarship while playing for Bowden at Florida State and has known Winston since the Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback was in high school. The 85-year-old Bowden said last week during an interview on “The Paul Finebaum Show” that he thought it is a “consensus among Florida State fans and boosters that (Winston) was an…

As Jameis Winston arrives in NFL, could E.J. Manuel be going?

in Apolitical/Sports/Top Headlines by

One is coming. The other one may be going. At first glance, there are a great many similarities between former Florida State quarterback Jameis Winston and former Florida State quarterback E.J. Manuel. Both are strong-armed, both won a lot and both were No. 1 draft picks. But while Winston’s time is just beginning in Tampa Bay, there are already murmurings that Manuel’s era may be closing with the Buffalo Bills. And, gee, wasn’t that fast? For Winston, the praise continues…
