Florida Defender Marco Wilson Gives His Shoe Tossing Explanation From The LSU Game

by Staff Reporter

April 1, 2021101 Comments

The Gainesville Sun-USA TODAY NETWORK

In a recent interview with ESPN, Florida defender Marco Wilson was asked about the end of the LSU game last season when he was flagged for an unsportsmanlike penalty for throwing Cole Taylors shoe.

The penalty allowed LSU to go on and kick a game-winning 57-yard field goal by Cade York.

quote:
"In that type of energy, what did people expect?" Wilson said. "Like I was going to hand it back nicely to him? I was super excited and I threw it. I didn't purposely do it; it was just a reaction. It went pretty far. I mean, I didn't think it would go that far. But it did."

Your draft stock just dropped some more Marco.

Wouldn't it be great if the Saints were to draft him?

So you can’t control your emotions in a big game? Exactly what NFL teams want to hear....

Comparable to the player for the Cowboys saying that players take plays off.

CanebreakCajun•37 months

This is the worst answer to that question..."what did people expect". Idiot.

Domeskeller•37 months

In other words, it’s not my fault, it’s everyone else’s fault for making a big deal about it. This guy won’t be in the NFL long.

Wow, that is a horrible answer. How about taking responsibility and admitting you made a terrible decision. He didn't have to "have it back to him nicely." He could have just dropped the shoe or given it to a ref.

rumination•37 months

He didn't have to hand* it back to him nicely.

Thanks for the win, Marco....

"what did people expect?" - You not to throw the shoe.. "I threw it. I didn't purposely do it... I didn't think it would go that far but it did" - He's obviously a child

Big Scrub TX•37 months

Meh. He's been punished enough. At my funeral, I want them playing audio of Ref Carter's call: "After the play, unsportsmanlike conduct ... throwing an LSU player's shoe 20 yards down the field." I will literally never tire of this.

Big EZ Tiger•37 months

He just committed career shoeicide with that explanation if he envisioned himself being a high pick in the NFL draft.

Mrwhodat•37 months

If the shoe fits, wear it next time, Marco. Leon Lett says hi. Thanks for the victory, idiot.

Petroleum Adam•37 months

"I didn't purposely do it" is such a stupid thing to say. Are you trying to tell me that you meant to set it on the ground, but through a total accident your arm came back, and then went forward with your hand unintentionally releasing it's grip as your arm was moving forward? Totally by accident? What a clown.

Reading comprehension is such a lost art. Let me help you. He is saying he didn't mean for it to go as far as it did, that he didn't expect it to go that far. It says that in the article. He's not saying he didn't mean to throw it. He admits to throwing it because of the excitement.

DaleGribblesMower•37 months

“Im a fricking dumbass, what do you want me to say?”

Lsupimp•37 months

His emotions got the best of him and he became a cultural meme. It happens.

LSU Tiger Eyes•37 months

Not one iota of an apology to his teammates from this Shoetown Assclown.

BayouTiga•37 months

Dumb is - DUMB DOES!

GeauxTigers1410•37 months

That's a funny answer if your friends ask you but not what you say in a job interview.

Ragin Tiger1•37 months

I would expect him not to throw a shoe. What an idiot.
