Maybe the "unspecified violation of team rules" was "identifying himself...as the 'son of God.'"

I don't know. I've been suspicous of the story ever since the reporter said FSU had "team rules."

[digamma]

All of that stuff about the EU being the Biblical "second Rome" is starting to make a lot more sense.

[CraigSca]

Looks like Jim will HAVE to give us a TCY2 now. In all my solo careers I have never seen the dreaded "Thinks He's the Son of God" out indefinitely injury.

We want a patch! We want a patch!

[ISiddiqui]

I don't see the issue... he was just being truthful as to how all FSU players think of themselves ;).

[JPhillips]

Perhaps he took Noop's advise and punched himself in the dick.

So let me get this straight. FSU's starting quarterback is in no way divine? Someone should alert the media.

[JPhillips]

BTW- I hope someone woke up Grandpa and told him he needs a new QB.

[Chas in Cinti]

Well... Bowden did talk about how he tries to "preach" to his team and develop his young men in a Christian environment... (couple of weeks ago there was an article, too lazy to look)...

Hmmm... maybe the QB just took it to heart.

#10 on your scorecard, #1 in the Book of Matthew?

I don't have time to read through this thread, but based on the title, I am really feeling good about the $1,000 a laid on FSU to win the BCS title.

Sounds like the kid may have just had his first episode of mania to me... Meaning he probably is bipolar or was high on something...

[Logan]

Or a hell of a trip...

[Klinglerware]

Sounds like either could be possible -- aren't first signs of schizophrenia usually seen in his age group? He was at Dave Matthews concert, so the latter could also be true...

As for as Bowden's evangelizing--I wonder if Bowden suspended the guy because of the blasphemy, and not the other stuff...

Was he at Bonnaroo? It says music festival in Tennessee. If so, he was most likely in a chemically enhanced state. I went to this thing a few years ago, there's really no law at all, just a huge music fest for three or four days out on a giant farm, and way too many drugs available for a kid "stressed out about being quarterback for FSU."

Ooh, good call MalcPow --

The Dave Matthews Band, Modest Mouse, Joss Stone and Toots and the Maytals are among the first acts confirmed for Tennessee's fourth annual Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival. Set for June 10-12, the event will return to a 700-acre farm in Manchester, about 60 miles south of Nashville...

Hey, if he could make a field goal against Miami, that'd probably secure deity status in Tallahassee.

Well, most FSU fans have been looking forward to seeing Xavier Lee...looks like it'll be sooner rather then later.

[CHEMICAL SOLDIER]

One of the signs that the apocalypse is among us...

FSU will seek another year of eligibilityAssociated Press


TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- Wyatt Sexton, the Florida State quarterback who was found disheveled and disoriented on a city street last month, has been diagnosed with Lyme disease and will miss the upcoming season, the university reported Saturday.



Florida State coach Bobby Bowden said the university would seek a sixth year of eligibility for Sexton, who has already used his redshirt season. He is the Seminoles' only experienced quarterback.

"It looks like Wyatt will need several months of treatment and will have to miss the season," Bowden said in a statement.

A specialist in the field of Lyme disease, Dr. S. Chandra Swami from Hermitage, Pa., said Sexton's organs have been infected and recommended intensive antibiotic therapy over a period of months.

"Wyatt has active Lyme Disease that has resulted in neuropsychiatric and cardiovascular deficits," Dr. Swami said.

The disease is curable, but the estimated recovery time for his advanced stage of infection is several months. If untreated, the disease can cause joint swelling and brain inflammation.

"We expect him to fully recover," Sexton's parents, Billy and Joy, said in a statement in the school's release. Billy Sexton is the running backs coach for the Seminoles.

The Seminoles will now choose between a pair of redshirt freshmen, Drew Weatherford and Xavier Lee, as the starting quarterback for their nationally televised season opener Sept. 5 against Miami. The team begins its preseason practice Aug. 9.

"It may come down to flipping a coin as to who starts the season," Bowden said.

Wyatt Sexton was the projected starter at quarterback. He played in 10 games in 2004, completing 55.2 percent of his passes for 1,661 yards and eight touchdowns. He also had eight interceptions.

On June 14, the 20-year-old Sexton was doused by pepper spray and taken to a hospital after he was found lying in the street and identifying himself as God. His parents released a statement a two days later that said drug abuse was not the problem.

Lyme disease bacteria are transmitted to humans by ticks that are carried by deer.

The disease is often identified by an expanding "bull's-eye" rash that develops days to weeks after a tick bite. Other symptoms include tiredness, fever, muscle aches and joint pain.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta said there are an increasing number of cases that are attributed to growing populations of deer that support deer ticks, more homes being built in wooded areas and better recognition and reporting of the disease, named in 1977 when a cluster was identified in Lyme, Conn.

In addition to Sexton, the Seminoles could also be without their two linebackers, Ernie Sims and A.J. Nicholson, for the Miami game because of recent run-ins with the law.

Florida State was 9-3 in 2004, but failed to win the Atlantic Coast Conference title for just the second time in 13 seasons, and wound up ranked 15th -- its fourth straight year outside the Top 10 in the final Associated Press poll.

I didn't know Lyme disease was caused by too much acid.

[Eaglesfan27]

Lyme disease can cause neuropsychiatric symptoms such as what Wyatt had. I never knew that Lyme disease really occured in the southeast that much. Most outbreaks are in the northeast, or so I thought.

[Izulde]

Yeah we get quite a few outbreaks of it here in the Upper Midwest
