I am 26 years old and live in Panama City Beach, FL. I have been a Seminole since I was a WEE Little Lad. I love FSU so much that back when we used to lose a game, it would ruin my whole week. 2001 was a ROUGH year, things have gottin better since then. I have been goin to all the home games since I can remember too. My Grandpa is a Booster and being he cant travel like he used to we make sure and either go see the games or if we cant make it, we give the tickets away for free. The way we see it, they were given to us so why sell them? I'de rather let someone go for free that cant afford to spend the money in this economy. If you like the Custom NCAA Football 09 Cover I made lemme know and i'll send it to ya. Workin on 2010 soon. Glad to be part of the TN!!!

Tomahawk Nation Playoffs for College Football?? Guess Who's Talking about it...

The BCS and College Football have seemed to have a few snafoo's in the time their contract started. Ask some teams and they will tell you they think the BCS is fair. Ask other teams and they will tell you there needs to be a change. The team that likes the BCS more than likely came out on the winning end of the computer rankings. And well I think you can guess where the other team wound up. Some people talk of adding a Playoff system to Division 1 Football. Is this really a good idea? One of the things I love so much about College Football, other than FSU, is the fact thats its not black and white like the NFL, or Division 2. It leaves room for talk about well this team should've went or Utah was undefeated and UF and OU both had 1 loss each. People talk about voters sticking it to their team or "If there was a Playoff we would've went ALL the way."

Another thing that had been bothering me is how this issue of a Playoff has made it past the media. Yes even our President has talked about College Football needing a Playoff in place. Even this past week the United States Congress was talking about adding Playoffs to D-1 Football. Question, if our Country is in this Rough of shape, why on earth are the President and the US Congress worrying about a Playoff System? Seems like there are much more important issues that need to be dealt with. Personally I like the way it's setup now. Makes for GREAT conversations about who shoulda, coulda and woulda... Id'e like to hear YOUR imput......

Tomahawk Nation Janoris Jenkins Charges Deferred..... JUST UPDATED!!!!




The Following quote is from Huntley Johnson the Lawyer....

UF starting cornerback Janoris Jenkins signed a deferred prosecution agreement with the State Attorney's Office on Tuesday morning.

As part of the agreement, Jenkins must have no violations in the next sixth months, pay $50 for the cost of prosecution, and either donate $150 to a charity or perform 15 hours of community service work. If Jenkins fulfills the demands of the agreement, his record will be clean.

 "It's a done deal," said Huntley Johnson, Jenkins' attorney. "Frankly, that's the worst treatment I expected. Janoris has taken the responsibility by signing this. This is what he should do.

"The truth is, I feel as though he didn't really do anything wrong here. I don't want to get into a big contest with (the Gainesville Police Department). Let's just say this is a compromise as far as I'm concerned. This is being inside the 20-yard line and settling for three (a field goal)."

Jenkins, a sophomore from Pahokee, was arrested on May 30 for his role in a fight downtown. Police, who used a Taser on Jenkins, charged Jenkins with affray and resisting arrest without violence when he tried to flee from the scene.

After investigating the incident, the State Attorney's Office dropped the charge of affray, but maintained the charge of resisting without violence.

"The facts didn't constitute the alleged charge of affray," said Spencer Mann, a spokesperson for the State Attorney's Office.

Mann said there are two main criteria for charging someone with affray. There must be a fear and terror factor, and there must be a primary aggressor.

There were several people involved in the incident. According to the police report, Jenkins struck an individual while police were trying to break up the confrontation. After police used a Taser on him, he tried to run. He stopped after about two blocks, police said.

 

Ok so let me see if I can figure this one out:

Tallahassee: where FB players are involved in fights with no police witnesses lead to 6 month investigations and full charges brought against football players and none against the opposing party.

Gainesville: where FB players are involved in fights w/ police witnesses and said player has charges dropped for the fight and is offered deferred prosecution for... running from the police.

 I wonder when the Gators recruit kids if they introduce them to Huntley Johnson. And let them know how CLOSE they are with the States Attny. Office. Hell the way these kids get off its NO WONDER they have as many commits as they do.

 By the way, here in Panama City at the Public Defenders Office there is a guy named, Fritz Mann. He has a brother... and they are BOTH Gator Fans.... Do the math.
