Apparently they tried to coverup this Dalvin Cook issue but Deandre Johnson wasnt happy with how he was being treated differently than Cook and went and made it known for the media to get a hold of it.
It is amazing how the following things happened:
1. Cook punches the woman on 6/23
2. Meggs done with interviews by 7/4
3. Not a peep about this to ANYONE
4. As soon as the story breaks on the national news around 2 pm on 7/10 all wheels start turning: within the next 12 hours the following things take place
a) Meggs announces that they are investigating
b) Meggs issues warrant for arrest
c) Cook suspended
d) Dumbo Jumbo statement
e) FSU Prez statement (which includes wanting Meggs to lecture their fine young men about how to
AVOID getting arrested by the orders he signs off on in the future)
f) Cops give Cook "a chance to turn himself in."
g) Cook turns himself in
Took 16 days for them to do nothing, then as soon as the story breaks it's all resolved within 12 hours. I wonder what would have happened if the story didn't break on 7/10 at 2 pm. Would a warrant have been issued? Would Cook have been suspended?
Time to dismiss the entire team, minus the long snapper and Aguayo. Every possession is an attempted, albeit quick, field goal.
problem solved.
Next season, FSU fields the first ever all gay men's football team...women free to roam the streets of Tally.
Florida, in it's darkest days of player issues, descended to just above the level of "business as usual" in Tallahassee. I laugh when any Nole tries to equate our two schools.
2 separate women getting punched in as many days. That's either extremely coincidental or an indicator of something systemic. And while many teams recruited these same players only ONE is currently right in the middle of the chitstorm.You UF guys are a joke. Cook was going to be a Gator and flipped. How is this FSU or Jimbo's fault? The SEC and most colleges have these types of players. They are 18 or 19 and they think they are entitled because they were 4 or 5 stars. FSU can't baby sit all of the players and we don't have the crooked lawyers like they do in Gainesviille that get players off.

Dude, play the lottery. Now!I have a funny feeling that you won't be around here very long.
Now that's just silly. Of course it's the bars, with surveillance video that cant be as easily deleted as those files on a phone or portable electronic device, that's the real problem. Without pesky objective video evidence, accusations can be reduced to "he said, she said" and "snitches get stitches" and all that. Nothing to see here....move along....just another cleat chaser....using racial epithats....Wow Dumbo sure isn't helping FSU's image on this as he says he has laid down the law and banned all players from bars. So the bars are the problem? Now when the next FSU player hits a woman in his or her apartment will they be banned from apartments? Wouldn't a better message be DON'T HIT WOMEN! Seems Dumbo is ok with the hitting part it is the doing it in public part he has a problem with. He also said FSU is being proactive on this. When is acting after the fact considered being pro active? At FSU I guess. With leadership like this there are more problems on the way soon.
9 arrests in 3 years, Liz. That's 3 per year.
Conversely, UF had 31 arrests from 2005 to 2010; that's 6.2 per year. 34% of the 2008 MNC team have been arrested at one point (either in college, afterwards or both).
Complete breakdown since 2010 (since most will want anything comparable to be post Meyer)
Football arrest records since 2010 are as follows:
TA&M 22
Dawgs 22
Bama 20
Gators 20
Tenn 19
FSU 17 (includes Cook & Johnson)
LSU 16
Auburn 13
USCe 9
Clumpson 6
When will we stop playing, "Our criminals aren't as bad as your criminals?" UF recruits the same darn players just as hard as FSU does. These kids are continuing to do stupid things despite having the world at their feet. It's sad...and had Cook not flipped, he'd be UF's problem right now.
We all know Dumbo does NOT deal with stars, at all.
So Igloo's response in a thread about an fsu cover up is to list arrests at UF that happened over five years and two coaching staffs ago.

Well, the way Jimbo handled Winston I can see why the players feel they can do anything if coach has my back. Frennett article in today's Times Union is spot on where fsu program is headed. Cook will be Fishers (Winston) if he is allowed to stay on the team.
It's a very sad and pathetic state of affairs at f$u...please don't send your kids there unless you want them abused.
Go Canes!
Are you trying to make a case there is a meaningful distinction between 20 and 17 arrests over that time period? As I mentioned before, this is like two convicted assault felons arguing which crime is worse.
Also, I think the kinds of arrests are relevant. OTL reported that for the period they measured, FSU had more arrests for violence against women than any other program. And I think that was before Cook and Johnson.
Mets & Igloo keep forgetting this is NOT a smack board.
And yet we still have more wins head-to-head.You will have to forgive him. You change staff as often as our team punches women. He probably got lost in time.

You should, you had a 50 year head start to build up your football program.
Hey Einstein, there's a reason none of the Big 3 in Florida had sustained success on the football field until beginning in the late '70s and early '80s. But I wouldn't expect you to understand macro level issues like demographic trends over the course of decades.You should, you had a 50 year head start to build up your football program. I would say you should always be at least +10 to account for the years FSU had to ramp up. The fact the lead is shrinking speaks volumes to the success of our relatively "new" program and what FSU has done the last 30 years. IF it ever becomes 50-50 that really means FSU is on top. IMO.

A tad reactionary I'd say, but it makes for a good cover story. Some people get caught up in the party scene a little too much.Sadly, this is true. had a good friend who yanked his girl out of there for this very reason...and this was BEFORE the most recent events. If a university & police department are going to be complicit in allowing this to go on over a friggin' football team, no one should send their kids there.
