TALLAHASSEE — Florida State closes football practice to media. Maybe it should start closing media day to the media.
As the press watched players and staff get organized for the team photo Sunday, an athletic department official made an announcement.
"Guys, we'll have two separate photos," he said. "One with Dalvin and one without."
That would be star tailback Dalvin Cook, currently in eligibility limbo pending the outcome of a misdemeanor battery case. So the player sitting on the far right of sixth row smiled and looked at the camera.
"One-two- annnnnd-three!" the photographer atop a tall ladder said.
