Finebaum trolls Florida State after loss to Georgia Tech
Paul Finebaum – like many other college football enthusiats over the weekend – didn’t waste time taking a dig at Florida State.
The SEC Network analyst joined “SportsCenter” on Sunday after the Seminoles’ 24-21 loss to Georgia Tech.
“I kept expecting an attorney to walk out to midfield and slap Ireland or Guinness with a lawsuit, ‘They served too many beers last night,” Finebaum said.
“Because Florida State always finds someone else to blame when things don’t go their way and we saw that last year when they blamed the media. Then, they started suing their own league, and it was really the worst possible start for a team that so many people expected to make the playoffs.
“I realize that’s not over yet, but the way they performed yesterday, especially offensively, this team better call Judge Judy or somebody because I don’t think they’re going to make it. I mean, getting run over by a middle-of-the-road ACC team — it was music to the ears of a lot of Florida State haters.”
Aidan Birr made a 44-yard field goal as time expired, and Georgia Tech upset No. 10 Florida State 24-21 on Saturday in the first major college football game of the season.
The win was Georgia Tech’s first over a top-10 opponent since a 22-16 victory over the Seminoles in October 2015.
Jamal Haynes ran for 75 yards and two touchdowns for Georgia Tech, while Haynes King threw for 146 yards and ran for 54 yards. The Yellow Jackets (1-0, 1-0 Atlantic Coast Conference) were able to control the line of scrimmage and accumulate 190 rushing yards and 5.3 yards per carry.
