Oklahoma State and Florida State are set for their showdown in the Cowboys Classic on August 30th. The defending National Champions are heavily favored against the Cowboys thanks in part by their sophomore QB, Jameis Winston. So while the Pokes are busy preparing to shock the world, FSU decided to make Winston available to take some questions. In a very public way.
#Noles Fans: Do you have a question for our starting QB Jameis Winston? Tweet us using #AskJameis.

The reigning Heisman winner has been dominant on the field, but he's had a few questionable off the field incidents. So what could go wrong?
"They said it would be a good idea. They said it was what the people wanted." #AskJameis

It instantly went viral. At one point responses were coming in at almost 300 tweets a minute.
A few of the questions were innocent enough.
Can you not destroy Duke if we face each other again pls? #AskJameis

It turned almost immediately though, and went about as well as one would expect.
Shots were taken at Winston's loose grasp of the English language.
#AskJameis how many syllables have to be in a word before you completely give up on pronouncing it?

@FSU_Football #AskJameis what does "We do it big den" mean?

Who does your homework for you? You don't seem #scrong in academics #AskJameis

Is it spelt "Scrong" or "Skrong" #AskJameis

Then the inevitable. It went from bad to worse.
The vast majority of tweets referenced crimes Winston allegedly committed, but was never arrested or charged for.
Which sentence do you think you'll complete first, one in English, or one for a crime you've committed?#AskJameis

Maybe the Tallahassee police can hop on #AskJameis and finally question him.
