The powers that be at Florida State University recently launched an "Ask Jameis" Twitter campaign, in which fans were allowed to ask the college football star anything they wanted. And while it's unclear how Florida State saw the campaign unfolding, it's clear that they didn't anticipate what happened on the social site.

Rather than ask Jameis the soft questions, fans and critics took to the social networking site to blast Winston for past transgressions instead.

Although no charges were ever filed against Winston, the football player was accused of rape about two years ago, and it seems the FSU fans haven't forgotten the incident.

They also haven't forgotten the controversy surrounding the case, in which Florida State police were the authorities handling the investigation. The university's involvement in the investigation led to the theory that the incident had been covered up in order to protect their star.

In the off season, Winston was charged with shoplifting after he walked out of a supermarket with a large bowl of crab legs. In comparison to the other allegation, this incident really is a non-issue, except for the embarrassment that comes from shoplifting crab legs.

Florida State opened up the campaign by tweeting, "#Noles Fans: Do you have a question for our starting QB Jameis Winston? Tweet us using #AskJameis."

Users quickly flocked to their devices relishing the moment. In less than an hour, "Ask Jameis" was trending on Twitter as users tried to top one another for the funniest roast.

Florida State University sports information director, Elliott Finebloom told the Associate Press that although the university thought there would be some negative comments, they did not expect the massive bashing that followed.

"The goal of the Twitter Q&A was to continue to find ways to connect our fans and the players they support. That's important to us... and social is a big way of doing it these days. That was the ultimate goal," he said.

Florida State obviously didn't learn from the "Ask Goodell" campaign that the NFL previously used. When critics are given a platform to unleash rage at a safe distance, the outcome isn't likely to be a good one.
