Florida State held walk-through at public park, did not want pictures taken
Florida State plays Louisville on Thursday night in Louisville, so the Seminoles held their Wednesday walk-through at a public park.
As Adam Himmelsbach of the Louisville Courier-Journal was on a run Wednesday, he was approached by a parks employee who told him that the Seminoles were practicing not far from where he was running. So Himmelsbach went over to watch. After he was told to step back on the sidewalk by a security guard -- yes, in a public park -- he went to take a picture.
Then I took out my phone to take a picture, and two FSU staff members started freaking out.
"No pictures!"
"Put that away!"
I calmly told them that this was a public park, and that anyone can take pictures at a public park. They told me they had reserved the field. I said that I wasn't trying to use the field they had reserved. I was just taking a picture of it.
Himmelsbach then said FSU staffers noticed people further away taking pictures and they chased over towards them screaming for no pictures.
2 FSU staffers yelled & sprinted at someone who snapped pics of the walkthrough in public park http://t.co/1xV5NIg70C http://ift.tt/1E3siNc
— Adam Himmelsbach (@AdamHimmelsbach) October 29, 2014 Yes, we repeat, in a public park. Apparently Florida State likes to control things it has no jurisdiction over on road trips. (And yes, the park was near a Joe's Crab Shack, but we'll spare you any tired jokes about Jameis Winston's citation.)
The article goes into more detail, including Himmelsbach's encounter with two members of the county sheriff's office who were near the practice and said that while Florida State had the right to ask for no photography, people taking pictures had the right not to listen.
We get why FSU would not want people taking pictures of its walkthrough. However, when you practice on public land, which apparently happens regularly, you lose all right to privacy from people who have just as many rights to be there. And anyway, what's so secretive about a walk through? It's apparently not sensitive enough to be held at an empty high school field or a gymnasium somewhere.

Penn State safety Ryan Keiser still hospitalized with bowel injury
Penn State coach James franklin provided a few details about the injury that ended the season of starting safety Ryan Keiser.
Keiser is currently being hospitalized after suffering a rib injury during last Thursday’s practice, which led a small bowel injury.
Franklin said he received permission from Keiser and his family to provide details about the injury, but he declined to say how it happened. Franklin also wanted to refute rumors that Keiser had contracted an infection as a result of the injury.
“There is no infection,” Franklin said. “I wanted to make sure that we are clear.”
A source told ESPN that Keiser was not in critical condition, but "also not great."
Keiser, a senior, was a former walk-on who progressed from special teams to starting safety. He finishes his season with 25 tackles, an interceptions and three pass breakups.
“I think so highly of him, I’ve talked about trying to get him to work for us in some type of role or capacity, whether it’s player development or things like that (after the season),” Franklin said. “I think he’s one of those kids that everybody in our program respects. He’s the type of guy that, when you spend time with him, he makes you want to be a better person. He makes you want to be a better coach. He’s a special, special young man. He’s in our prayers, and his family is in our prayers and we can’t get him back here soon enough.”

TCU gets leading WR Josh Doctson back, loses backup QB Matt Joeckel
TCU leading receiver Josh Doctson will make the trip to West Virginia after coach Gary Patterson said he’s made “drastic improvement” since suffering an ankle sprain against Texas Tech last weekend.
Doctson left last week’s 82-27 blowout after suffering the ankle injury in the third quarter and did not return. There was initial speculation that Doctson had suffered a high ankle sprain, but the Fort Worth Star-Telegram cited a team source saying that wasn’t the case.
Doctson leads the horned Frogs with 35 catches for 573 yards and seven touchdowns. Against Oklahoma State two weeks ago, Doctson had 226 yards, which was one yard shy of a TCU single-game school record.
While the Doctson news was good, the word on backup quarterback Matt Joeckel was not. Joeckel suffered a season-ending knee injury in the fourth quarter of the blowout of the Red Raiders. Joeckel, a senior, has already graduated.
“It’s a shame,” Patterson said. “We gave him an ovation in the meeting on Sunday because of everything he did for us as a team, the way he came in, the way he helped Trevone (Boykin).
“I think you’re going to see him around practice, trying to help Trevone with everything, because they have a really good relationship.”
Freshman Zach Allen will serve as Boykin’s backup against West Virginia.

Boise State plans to offer full cost-of-attendance scholarships
Boise State announced Tuesday that it would be providing full cost-of-attendance scholarships to its athletes if and when it is permitted by the NCAA.
The push for full cost-of-attendance scholarships has been part of the move for autonomy in the NCAA by the Power Five conferences. The conferences want greater flexibility to create their own rules within the NCAA when it comes to scholarships and other reforms.
While Boise State isn't a member of a Power Five conference, the school can keep up with any perceived advantages Power Five conference teams could have if they agree to offer full cost-of-attendance scholarships in the near future.
"Boise State is a proven program in the collegiate athletics landscape," Boise State athletic director Mark Coyle said in a statement. "Our intent is to provide the resources available not only for football, but for each of our 20 sports, to not only win conference championships but to compete with any program on a national level."
The Pac-12 also followed in the footsteps of the Big Ten this week in announcing that it would guarantee multi-year scholarships for athletes. The Big Ten announced the move earlier in October. It's expected that the other three Power Five conferences will follow suit as well as some other non-Power Five conferences.
“This fulfills a promise we made when we announced our agenda for reform earlier this year,” Washington State president Elson Floyd said in a statement. “These reforms assure better support for all our student-athletes, reinforce that academics come first, and address the financial and health needs of our students.”

Utah's leading WR Dres Anderson out for the season with knee injury
Utah senior wide receiver Dres Anderson will miss the rest of the season after suffering a knee injury, the university announced Wednesday.
Utah did not provide any details about the extent of the injury or when the injury occurred.
Anderson, a team captain, did play in the Utes 24-21 win against USC last weekend. He caught three passes for 30 yards.
Anderson is Utah’s leading receiver with 355 yards and four touchdowns. He was second on the team with 22 receptions.
Anderson, who is the son of former NFL wide receiver Willie "Flipper" Anderson, ends his Utah career ranked fifth on the school's all-time receiving list with 2,077 yards.
Utah plays Arizona State this weekend in a pivotal Pac-12 South game. The Sun Devils currently lead the Pac-12 South, but a Utah win would tie the two teams and give the Utes the tiebreaker with four games remaining.

Dana Holgorsen jokes TCU should move Trevone Boykin back to receiver
West Virginia coach Dana Holgorsen would like to offer TCU coach Gary Patterson some friendly advice.
Move quarterback Trevone Boykin back to wide receiver.
After all, Holgorsen said Tuesday, Boykin was the best wide receiver on the field in West Virginia's win over TCU last season.
"Offensively, it starts with Boykin, their quarterback," Holgorsen said. "Probably – well, not probably – he is the most improved player in college football. He is playing well. I thought he was good two years ago. As a true freshman, he came out here and beat us in overtime. Last year, i thought he was the best receiver on the field – possibly the best player on the field. I texted those guys earlier in the week and told them to move him back to receiver because he was so dang good."
Yeah, TCU isn't taking his advice, as Boykin as flourished as a full-time quarterback this season after splitting time last year between both positions.
And Holgorsen is right; Boykin is potentially the most improved player in college football and the key to how TCU has created an offense that's suddenly become one of the best in the country. And it's why Saturday's game between the Horned Frogs and Mountaineers in Morgantown has the highest over/under (73) of any college football game in Week 9.
Boykin is a contender for the Heisman Trophy now, and for his candidacy to turn from "contender" to "favorite," Patterson admits that TCU has to keep winning.
"For Trevone Boykin to be a guy who can move into the top three, we're going to have to win a lot in the next five games," Patterson said. "If we win, that means he probably has some great stats. He'll then be a guy who's had a great year and will be considered."
After throwing for seven touchdowns against Texas Tech on Saturday, Boykin has 21 touchdowns and three interceptions. If TCU can beat West Virginia on Saturday and Kansas State at home the following week, the chances of at least a share of the Big 12 title look good with games against Kansas, Texas and Iowa State to finish out the season.
But beating West Virginia on the road is a tall task, especially after the Mountaineers took down Baylor two weeks ago.
"You have to make them kick field goals," Patterson said. "This game won't be any different. You're going to have to keep them out of the end zone. They've got some big-time weapons on offense and have really come on defensively. They blitzed Baylor hard and did a great job doing so. We're going to have to get ready. We expect West Virginia to play its best game to date."

Alabama RB Tyren Jones 'suspended for now' according to Nick Saban
Suddenly, Alabama's running back depth isn't so great. Will it stay that way for the LSU game on November 8?
Alabama coach Nick Saban said Tuesday that RB Tyren Jones is suspended "for now" and did not give a reason for the suspension.
"If Tyren Jones does what he's supposed to, maybe he'll be back sometime soon,' Saban said (via Al.com) at his press conference.
Jones has been playing late in games that have already been decided this season. He has 22 carries for 123 yards and a touchdown this season. However, given the circumstances surrounding Alabama's running backs, he was in line for potentially some more work.
Kenyan Drake is out for the season with an ankle injury and T.J. Yeldon had a boot on his right foot Tuesday. Saban said that Yeldon isn't expected to practice much this week and could be back on Monday.
The suspension and injuries leave Derrick Henry and Altee Tenpenny as Alabama's running backs and if Jones and Yeldon don't return for next week, they'll likely receive a lion's share of the carries. But given that the Crimson Tide is off this week, the picture at running back could be much different in 10 days.
Oh, and in case you were wondering, no, Saban said he doesn't care about the initial College Football Playoff Rankings. Alabama is No. 6. the fourth one-loss team in the rankings behind Auburn, Ole Miss and Oregon.
"I don't even care to be honest with you. Don't know and don't care," Saban said.
