Face in the Fans – With No Mention of the Clemson Game!

With last week’s bye week (yeah, I know we played Clemson, but I’m repressing that), the Cavaliers are rested and
looking forward to a touch matchup with the Florida State Seminoles. So, in this column we’ll definitely be looking
forward and ignoring what a crushing and nauseating bye week it was.

The other top five list: No matter what the state of the Virginia program is in a given year, fans can always
take solace in one thing: At least we’re not Florida State. No program has more embarrassing incidents year in and
year out with their miscreant players. No program takes less action upon finding out the terrible things that their
players have done. No program deserves more to be ashamed of themselves. So, I give you the top five black eyes to the
Florida State program.

5. Chris Rix: Rix is guilty of the least serious charges, but he has had some of the funnier incidents. Besides being
hated by his teammates, Rix slept through an exam last year, forcing Coach Bobby Bowden to suspend him for the Sugar
Bowl. That forced the Seminoles to play their third string quarterback, and when that didn’t work, they had to put in
wide receiver Anquan Boldin behind center. This year, Rix has decided to park in handicapped spaces despite the fact
that he drives a huge SUV with his number monogrammed on the side – a vehicle no one is likely to miss. While he
definitely looked disabled in Saturday’s loss to Miami, I’m pretty sure Rix doesn’t need a special place to park.
