Top 9 Reasons Why You Should Hate FSU

As told by a Cane.

If there is one thing that Miami and Gator fans can agree on, it's their hatred of the Seminoles. Every Cane or Gator (or really any Non-FSU student) is raised and bred to despise FSU -and for good reasons:

1. Tomahawk Chop

The first thing that needs to be addressed is Florida State's famous war chant. The Tomahawk Chop just seems to be a lame response to the Gator Chomp or the Miami U. I heard they did same motion in 1930’s Germany, except they turned their arm 90 degrees counterclockwise.

2. QB Jameis Winston

Besides the fact that he steals crab legs from Publix, or that he obnoxiously yells obscenities on campus dining hall tables, FSU's beloved Jameis Winston also conveniently gets away with sexual assault. In 2012, a former FSU female student carried an assault case against Winston, which was later ignored by the University.

Florida State agreed to pay $950,000 to settle a lawsuit filed by the former student, who stated that the University violated her Title IV rights by ignoring the case. FSU also let Winston walk by without criminal or academic charges- sounds like a safe environment to me.

3. Talla-NASTY

It's called Talla-"Nasty" for a reason. Ask any Non-Seminole and they'll tell you that the only thing that FSU has going for themselves is the state capital.

4. The mascot

Fans show up to games in decorative and sacred Native American ritual attire while cheering on the semi-racist Seminole mascot. In addition to the mascot's implicit racism, games also include Chief Osceola and Renegade run out onto the middle of the field, and stab the Florida State logo. Correct me if I'm wrong but one school symbol stabbing another doesn't seem like a positive, sportsmanlike game tradition.

5. "Garnet"

Is there a reason why we can't just call their color what it is, dark red?

6. Crime Rate

In an Outside the Lines report that surfaced in 2015, over 10 different schools (Florida State, Florida, Auburn, Michigan State, Missouri, Notre Dame, Oklahoma State, Oregon State, Texas A&M and Wisconsin) were investigated for involvement with campus and local police.

FSU had the highest number of collegiate football and men's basketball players named in criminal allegations from 2009 to 2014. Florida State had sixty-six players who were involved with police overall, while twenty were involved in sexual assault or harassment against women. In 70 percent of those incidents, the athletes never faced charges, had charges against them dropped or were not prosecuted.

I guess this is what they mean when they say "Tallahassee born and raised".


7. The Uniforms

Th new uniforms are some nice ugly Christmas-sweater jerseys. Please stop wearing them.

8. QB De'Andre Johnson and RB Dalvin Cook

After Winston's debut in 2012, FSU swore they had changed their rosters.

Remember FSU's three-star recruit, Quarter Back in 2015? He was dismissed after throwing fists and almost knocking out a female FSU student at a bar. Right after Johnson's case, FSU's Running Back Dalvin Cook was charged with punching another woman in the face multiple times outside yet another Talla-nasty bar.

I guess there's a personality requisite that all Seminole QBs have to meet.

9. Their team

Despite once having a talented team, after losing Jameis Winston, FSU has suffered tremendously. In addition to losing Winston, losing 29 players to the NFL draft over a three-year span didn't do the Noles any favors.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
