Florida State Seminoles players returned from the Rose Bowl to find their cars keyed and their tires slashed.
The Florida State Seminoles carried a 29-game win streak into the Rose Bowl match up against the No. 2 Oregon Ducks on Thursday. The game serving as a semi-final match up for the first ever College Football Playoff.
The defending national champion Seminoles felt disprespected to be seeded despite and undefeated 2014 regular season. That ranking looked fair after Oregon handily defeated the Seminoles in the Rose Bowl, 59-20.
It was an embarrassing loss for the Seminoles, but an impressive victory for the Ducks.
As for Florida State fans and faithful, they took the loss rather harshly. When the Seminoles returned home, they found their cars had been vandalized.
Freshman linebacker Anthony Valdes tweeted about the condition in which they found their cars.
Winning a national championship in college football is incredibly difficult, and repeating is even harder. It is pretty ridiculous for the fans to lose their minds and act out like a bunch of spoiled brats after things don’t go their way.
It wasn’t like they were Oklahoma losing to Boise State in the Fiesta Bowl years ago. There is no shame in losing to Oregon, a school that has been a perennial contender and nearly defeated the Auburn Tigers several years ago for a national championship during Cam Newton’s college days.
But as we’ve all seen on Twitter, the Florida State fans aren’t always the most reasonable and logic fans so maybe this is on me for being shocked by this behavior.
The family and I traveled to the Birmingham Bowl yesterday and the Gator Nation was well represented. Win or lose, we love our Gators. GO GATORS (chomp)
Mostly lose.
What are you talking about?!
Except for the Wake Forest game, FSU home games were sold out.
Don’t know?
“Their cars”? Most likely belonged to boosters.
