Mon Sep 09 14:12:09 UTC 2024: ## FSU Baseball’s New Hire Sparks Hilarious Meme-Fest
Florida State Baseball’s announcement of Drew Linder as their new Director of Operations went viral, but not for the reasons they intended. The initial social media post featured Linder in a garnet shirt against a garnet background, creating an optical illusion that made him appear massive.
“It looked like he was wearing that Kanye/Lil Pump suit,” one FSU alum tweeted, sparking a wave of similar reactions and memes. Many users commented on Linder’s apparent size, questioning why FSU didn’t opt for a contrasting gold background or shirt.
FSU Baseball quickly responded to the backlash, releasing a new photo of Linder with a more traditional gold-on-garnet look. The original post, however, continued to be a source of amusement for many online, highlighting the power of social media and the unexpected humor it can generate.
Despite the initial blunder, FSU is excited to welcome back Linder, who has a strong background in college baseball. He previously served as a graduate assistant with the Seminoles before spending six years at Pittsburgh and North Florida.
