Our Reading
The game followed a familiar script.
Another athlete, another arrest, another excuse for a team to make. McAneney’s transfer from a Division II school to a Power Five program didn’t exactly pan out, and now his off-field antics are making headlines. The Seminoles’ spring break just got a lot more interesting.
This one felt recognizable early.
McAneney’s mugshot tells the whole story. A busted lip, a scratch under the eye, and a whole lot of regret. The university’s on spring break, but the real regret’s going to be felt when McAneney’s teammates have to face the music.
This arrest adds another chapter to the book of “Could’ve been a great story” for McAneney.
This one’s going to be a tough pill to swallow for the Seminoles’ fans.
The result wasn’t surprising by the end.
Florida State’s got a history of these kinds of stories. It’s not like this is the first time they’ve had to deal with a player’s off-field issues. The university’s got a reputation for being lenient, but this one might just be the straw that breaks the camel’s back.
Original observation: When a player’s talent doesn’t match their ego, the excuses start flying.
