LBS- Florida State kicker Ricky Aguayo told police he was physically assaulted by some fraternity members after a rivalry game last season, according to a report.
Tallahassee Police records obtained by Karl Etters of the Tallahassee Democrat show that Aguayo reported being “jumped” in front of the Pi Kappa Phi fraternity house at around 3 a.m. on Dec. 2, 2016. That was roughly a week after the Seminoles beat Florida 31-13 — a game in which Aguayo missed two field goals. Aguayo told police he was walking by the frat house when people began shouting at him about the missed kicks, and he was later confronted and punched in the face. “He said they were giving him a hard time about missed field goals during the Florida game,” police wrote in their report. “He said he was rushed by several of the members of the fraternity … and was punched in the face.” Police said Aguayo had blood on his face and shirt and had swelling that indicated he had been punched. He declined medical treatment and said he called a teammate, Florida State tight end Ryan Izzo, to help him, but the fight was over by the time Izzo arrived. Aguayo refused to press charges. Aguayo has made 15 of 18 field goals this year and earned an All-ACC honorable mention on Monday. His older brother, Roberto, was also a star kicker at Florida State and has had well-documented struggles in the NFL. ------- I don't want to undersell how big of a dickhead you have to be to drunkenly pick a fist fight with the kicker for your college football team because he happened to miss a couple of field goals during a game in which the outcome was not remotely effected by said misses. I'd imagine that these frat dudes did what frat dudes have the unfortunate habit of doing by getting too drunk and abusing their power in numbers to either verbally, physically, and let's not forget sexually assault those that are inherently weaker than them. I'm sure that Ricky Aguayo didn't exactly turn the other cheek when instigated by a bunch of bros who were probably measuring each others' dicks (either literally or metaphorically, it's basically a toss up) while he walked shamefully back to the sideline after the shanks that started all this. I wasn't there, but if I know a woefully generic Kappa Phi fuckhead like I think I do then having a kicker bruise his fragile ego in front of the friends he paid for is what turned this violent. The good news here is that Ricky Aguayo had a positive male role model to look up in an effort to remind himself that - regardless of his unfortunate experience - things can always be much, much worse. It sucks to have to tend to your face and dry clean your shirt solely because you missed a couple meaningless field goals, but - objectively speaking - it doesn't suck as much as becoming the laughing stock of the NFL solely because some moronic General Manager drafted you far too high and placed an unforeseen amount of pressure on you to perform under the brightest of lights. Never mind the oddly incestuous activity of frat brothers, because Ricky Aguayo had a blood brother in Roberto to show him that getting jumped for a subpar performance can't do nearly as much damage to his psyche as being deemed a professional disappointment prior to lacing up his cleats. The following clip was obviously shot after Ricky Aguayo was decked by a douchebag, but - in retrospect - he'd certainly rather fight some "Brad" than have a 300 pound man stand over his shoulder and mock the entirety of his short, short career while he tried desperately to save it. That had to give little bro the perspective that Chadwick and his "cut from the Lacrosse team" cronies clearly lacked...
P.S. What a swell group of well-grounded gentlemen... "The students who allegedly attacked Aguayo belong to the same fraternity that was recently shut down after a pledge died at an off-campus party on Nov. 3."
