Shirtless Florida State fan goes viral for reading during blowout

Things are pretty rough at Florida State this season, and it turns out one fan is kind of emblematic of the state of the program.

With the Seminoles down 52-3 late in the third quarter at home to the Clemson Tigers, TV cameras caught one sad, shirtless fan passing the time by reading a book as he waited for the game to end.

Florida State’s season has been a mess from the beginning. This might, however, be the low point. Though perhaps not for that guy.
