Florida State walked past a Joe's Crab Shack because of course

The Florida State football team is in Louisville preparing for its game Thursday night against Cardinals.

So where did the team choose to practice Wednesday?

In a public park. No bid deal, right?

Well then the team took a stroll after practice and walked past this:

Yup, that sure is a Joe's Crab Shack. For any other team, it wouldn't mean all that much. But remember that time when FSU QB Jameis Winston got cited for shoplifting $32 worth of crab legs from a grocery store? 

And that's what makes the above photo, courtesy of a photographer at Louisville's The Voice-Tribune, something special.

Louisville Courier-Journal reporter Adam Himmelsbach was out for a run when he saw the team practicing. Here's his take on how it all went down ... and yes, it is awesome: 

There was quarterback Jameis Winston. There was coach Jimbo Fisher. And there were Florida State staff members, sort of guarding the perimeter so they wouldn't be disturbed. A security guard asked me to step off the edge of the grass and onto the sidewalk, and I did.

Then I took out my phone to take a picture, and two FSU staff members started freaking out.

"No pictures!"

"Put that away!"

I calmly told them that this was a public park, and that anyone can take pictures at a public park. They told me they had reserved the field. I said that I wasn't trying to use the field they had reserved. I was just taking a picture of it.

They told me to talk to the police, and then pointed me toward a Waterfront Park staff member, who was clearly not a policeman. I explained my situation to him, and he understood. He just asked that I stay back from the practice, and that was reasonable.

Thank you, Florida State. Thank you very much.
