TALLAHASSEE,
Fla. -- Michelle Roque never heard back from Jimbo Fisher, so Florida
State's most celebrated football player will be watching No. 9 Florida
State play No. 18 Houston in the Chick Fil-A Peach Bowl from home on
Thursday.
She's
the most popular student on Florida State's campus -- as confirmed by
the page views, worship from adoring strangers, autograph requests,
nods from NFL players and Twitter marriage proposals.
Count Seminoles players among those agog.
Fisher largely ignores social media, so he probably missed Roque's
offer and what much of Florida State was buzzing about earlier this
month: her 19-play highlight reel that includes 38 avoided "tackles" --
13 on one play -- 11 touchdowns, seven completions, one reception, one
interception, one diving stop on a male quarterback and an all-purpose
yards total that would challenge Christian McCaffrey.
"I even tweeted Jimbo," Roque said. She hoped he would consider her at
quarterback.
Roque, the Florida State flag football star and a member of Delta
Gamma, melted social media with her complete disregard for the
emotional and physical well-being of rival sororities. A video of her
sending players tumbling as they grasped at air went viral last fall,
but that was merely serving as the accelerant for a sequel that ignited
the internet -- a full-length highlight tape replete with flailing
bodies, slow-motion jukes and an 808 drum beat.

Abreast ...]
Actually FSU ran up against the Offensive Coordinator from last year's NCAA champions.
ReplyDeleteWhy was Ohio State's offense so anemic this season? Tom Hermann left to become head coach @ Houston.
O H!
I O!
Women can be Rangers and SEALs, football surely is on the horizon. Liberal NFL must get with it.
