New Blog: Along The Olentangy for Ohio State Fans!

It's Not Plagiarism If You Link To It Is Just Bro-ing Out, Bro

Cue the outrage?: We might as well lead off with the item that'll cause the most consternation--a Facebook picture by an unfamiliar person depicting several Hawkeyes in the same room as alcohol. And enjoying it. The horror. And okay, their shirts are off too, but you know what, it's been awfully hot this summer, and they're just being green-conscious, and... fine, here's the pic:

Iafb_medium
From the left: Jewel Hampton, picture uploader Lorenzo Rice, Adam Robinson, Marvin McNutt, J.D. Griggs, Jordan Bernstine. And at the bottom, one seriously slick Iowa beer pong table. Wannnnnnt.

Another here. Most Hawkeye Lounge commenters seem to grasp that this is harmless, (which, ultimately, it is; does it even warrant extra stairs?) though at the same time a few lament the picture's release past the point of logic ("wtf were these guys thinking?"). Others point out that Jewel Hampton isn't 21 yet, and as everybody knows, only problem alcoholics drink before they turn 21. Right? Clearly the answer is to boot Hampton off the team and suspend everybody else indefinitely. Also, we should pretend that nobody ever drinks beer in college, especially athletes. Ugh. Let us know when adults can discuss situations like these like adults, because that'll be a first.

It was either that or this: Another postseason award would like to remind you that it exists by mentioning a Hawkeye in a press release. Today, it's the Manning Award, putting Ricky Stanzi in its not-at-all-binding watch list. Yippee.

University of Iowa senior quarterback Ricky Stanzi has been named to the 2010 Manning Award Watch List. The award goes annually to the nation’s top collegiate quarterback. The Manning committee is releasing the name of one quarterback per day until its 2010 list is complete. It’s the second quarterback of the year watch list Stanzi has made this month. He was earlier named to the Davey O’Brien Watch List.

Unless Stanzi puts up Brad Banks-type numbers en route to a Big Ten title, he doesn't have a prayer of winning this thing. In its six-year history, the Manning Award (an award whose existence has yet to be justified) has typically gone to the media darling of the year. Like Matt Leinart, Tim Tebow, and Jamarcus Russell. Which, LAWL.

Star-divide

QUICK ZINGERZ:

The PTL has ended, and treating the results as newsworthy is an affront to actual basketball--and trust us, here at Iowa, we know a thing or two about affronts to basketball. John Bohnenkamp gives his postmortem in terms of what to expect this season from the players who factored most highly into the league this summer. He really likes Eric May, sort of likes Melsahn Basabe, and worries about Cully Payne's ability to finish. Oh boy.

Here's the poster the NFL is using to try to minimize unreported concussions. We're not going to call the NFL disingenuous--we do believe that the league wants to properly treat its players, especially when it comes to head injuries--but every single team is still going to concern itself with getting guys back on the field if they've "just had their bell rung" ASAP. That's the reality of a 16-game schedule and a 55-player roster cap. You just can't afford to keep guys on the sideline for weeks and weeks if they say they're good to go and the trainers can't reliably disprove it.

Jack Tatum passed away yesterday of a heart attack at 61. He was suffering from diabetes and had lost parts of both his legs, which is a level of cruelty that, frankly, only he could have properly appreciated. As Barking Carnival notes, Tatum did paralyze an NFL player, but he was also involved in one of the most memorable collisions in NFL history, meeting Earl Campbell at the goal line (3:00). Said Campbell: "After the game, he said, "That’s the best I had." And I said, "That’s the best I had, too."

Paul Finebaum advocates kicking Vandy out of the SEC--actually, you know what? Fuck him. I'm not linking him or taking him seriously anymore. For real. No more lavishing attention on Finebaum's trolling at BHGP. The hell with him.

Under Mike Leach, Texas Tech always made up for its relative talent shortcomings by overemphasizing one aspect of the game--their passing attack--and making teams play their game instead of worrying about resembling a "normal" offense. So how does Tech get back to winning two or three conference games a year, like their talent would dictate? Tommy Tuberville's politically expedient (but practically disastrous) calls for "balance," that's how! In 10 years, we'll be looking at Tech in no better light than Baylor, Iowa State, or Vandy. Hell, maybe even 5.

And finally, the best soccer celebration ever of the day, via SB Nation:

So much to digest.

Finebaum is still battling Rob Schneider for the galaxy’s biggest douche, comforting not much has changed. A quick google search and some reading at least exposed me to many SEC fans sticking up for Vandy.

Tuberville, where to start. Man he got shafted, but I thought he was smart enough to realize that the passing extravaganza was Tech’s equalizer. At least this will provide more balance between the North and South in the Big XII.

Jewel Hampton is not holding a beer or in any way proven to have consumed some in those photos. That said, there is a reason that facebook has privacy settings. You just have to keep up with the constant changes to avoid crap like this. I was really hoping for a brick of weed and some rolls of benjamins on that table.

Tuberville

I dunno. TT wasn’t bad before Leach took over, he just took it up a notch or two. But for all Leach’s success he couldn’t recruit.

Tuberville already has a Top 15 recruiting class and brought in a Leach disciple for his OC. I doubt moving from 75-25 passing/rushing to 65-35 is going to bring ruin to TT’s program, especially with an upgrade in defensive talent.

Just my opinion, I think Tech will continue to be what it is, just with a little more meat and a little less gimmick.

by Gary Wilkie on Jul 28, 2010 9:13 AM CDT reply actions  

Yeah, I mean isn't Tech still in Texas, a recruiting hotbed?

Even if they are relegated to cast-offs from Texas, Tuberville should still be able to put together teams with as much or more talent than he had at Auburn.

I wish

they would have been smarter and at least nudged the beers out of the picture or not had a picture like that get posted online, when by now everyone knows the risks of the Man using Facebook pictures to come after you.

Anyway, depends on if there is a team policy or school policy or NCAA policy regarding student-athletes under 21 not being allowed to be in the same room as alcohol or illicit substances.

You can’t actually tell from that shot whether the guys under 21 were drinking the beers. Hell, they might have just shown up for the picture. However, given recent events, I wouldn’t at all be surprised if they had been consuming.

Should we pretend college students under 21 don’t drink? No. But until the law’s changed back to 18 to drink, it’s against the law to drink if you’re under 21. People shouldn’t be surprised when they get in trouble for breaking said law.

I don’t these guys should be suspended or anything, but I think they should face some sort of action from the coaches, again, if for no other reason than they shouldn’t have posted a picture that could even offer a possibility of serious issues being brought up.

by edr247 on Jul 28, 2010 9:30 AM CDT reply actions  

Problem is, they didn't post it.

I’m not saying I have a picture of you humping a water buffalo, but if I did and I posted it on Facebook and tagged you, should you be reprimanded?

If I could face punishment for every stupid picture I ever took, especially when I was under 21, I’d probably be in a Russian gulag. And I wouldn’t be the only one.

"In case you can't tell, I'm being sarcastic!" - Homer Simpson

by EastLosRandy on Jul 28, 2010 3:42 PM CDT up reply actions  

What is the legal age

in that situation? Does the water buffalo need to be no more than two years younger than edr if said buffalo of water is under 18?

Why expand the Big Ten when we could just kick Northwestern out?

by hawkstormer on Jul 29, 2010 12:36 AM CDT up reply actions  

Well

First, how did you get that picture?

Second, is there a rule against humping water buffaloes? Again, I said they should be punished only if there is a team, school or NCAA rule against under 21 year olds being in the same room as alcohol. If not, they shouldn’t be punished.

The thing is, there used to be a time where every stupid picture you ever took could stay in a box somewhere, and you’d have the only copy. Not anymore. Now, even if someone isn’t out to embarrass you, a picture of you doing something and possibly illegal can be on the web in an instant. And of course, there are people out there that can AND will use those images against you…schools, companies…the cops…

This image itself is relatively harmless. But what if there’s a picture of guys like AR or Jewel holding a can or bottle of beer? Or the defensive line tipping over cabs?

I’m not actually calling for serious punishments or anything for this picture, but more of a talking to by coaches about the ability of just a single picture ruining their seasons. Because sadly, that is completely possible in today’s digital age.

Also, my mistake about the fact the guys posted it. I read the part of an unknown person taking the picture, but I assumed the uploader, Lorenzo Rice (who is in the picture) was on the team.

There's a perfectly innocent story behind this picture

The student athletes were taking some time out from their game of refreshing caffeine free rootbeer pong for this picture. Nothing more. Nothing less.
Some of the boys did find some empty beer cans that someone must have littered on their way to the game. They were on their way to recycle them, however they set the cans down on the table before the picture. Had the picture not been cropped by what I can only assume is the liberal football hating media, you would have clearly seen a recycling bin next to the scholar athletes.

Where is there evidence

This whole situation strikes me as representative of one of the darker, seemier aspects of the internet. People seem to feel that, just because it is possible to get some information, that they are entitled to do so. Another example is the blogger who exposed the person behind Bylaw Blogger for no other reason than because he could (see EDSBS for the discussion). Too many people seem to believe the interwebz exist to allow them to pass judgment an anyone they don’t like for actions they may or may not be guilty of. Frankly, I don’t have a problem with anything with this picture and its “newsworthy”-ness is non-existent. OMG, college kids drink beer!!!!! THIS IS THE WORST TRAGEDY IN THE WORLD!!!!!

To me they are seperate issues

With the Bylaw Blogger situation, that guy who outed him was a tool.

With star athletes, more often than not, they want attention. They say “look at me” but they do it at times that are only convinient for them.

If an athlete wants to try and have a private life, then do so. Don’t go out, don’t endorse products, don’t be on facebook and twitter, etc, but then get mad at the fans if something goes wrong.

Examples that come to mind are P’Allen Stinnett, Tiger Woods, Ocho Cinco, Terrell Owens, etc.

This nothing but pure speculation

Sure, there are plenty of athletes that seek the limelight, but there are plenty of professional athletes who are content to lead a pretty normal life. All this is irrelevant as we are TALKING ABOUT COLLEGE KIDS who did nothing more than what 95% of their co-students are doing. Just because a kid plays football (or bball, or wrestles, or is on the fucking volleyball team), that doesn’t mean they have to live the life of a hermit when not on the football field.

Is the picture kind of stupid? Sure, but so are 99.999999% of the pictures “regular” kids have of themselves on facebook. What it is not, but you seem so desperately want it to be, is an invitation to seize some moral high ground to chastise the illusory arrogance of some college kids.

Umm, I'm not sure how many athletes you actually speak to

But I’d imagine that most of them don’t want random strangers “friending” them on Facebook. (The only reason people join Twitter is to obtain followers, so there’s no denying that). Even still, none of the pictured athletes posted this photo on their facebook page, so they’ve every right to be upset if the picture was posted without their consent. How exactly does that qualify as hypocrisy?

If they didn't want random strangers "friending them"

They why would they make a fanpage, or accept friend requests from people they don’t know.

In general I was expanding this to athletes in general, high school, pro, etc., not just the Hawks.

Do I think there’s major problems with pictures like this? No. If I were a fan, I wouldn’t care as long as they aren’t endangering anyone (which they aren’t), and as long as it doesn’t get in the way of the team and winning games (which it won’t).

Still though. A bunch of D1 football players clearly posing for a picture and enjoying the moment shows that they lack the foresight of what could happen. Even if they didn’t take the picture and didn’t upload it, they had to figure there would be a chance of it.

On one hand, these are college kids, and I understand the drinking, partying, social behavior, etc., the fact that you are getting a free ride to play a sport, and because millions of dollars in revenue are generated based on you successfully playing well, you are a representative of the University in all phases at all times whether you like it or not.

Do I think anyone should be punished for the picture, no, but I think they should be smarter about who’s taking their picture and uploading it on the internet.

It’s impossible for me to have an objective opinion about this because I’m an ISU fan… Oh wait, I didn’t grow up with this rivalry, never gave a shit about it until my freshman year in college, and care about it less than the typical Cyclone fan now. What I most enjoy about beating Iowa is the reaction from Hawk fans I know. When the time comes for me to live somewhere outside of this state, it’s going to be a lot less significant.

I’m just a guy who’s a sports fan, happened to grow up in a city where I got to meet and play with several D1 guys in several sports, (including a couple guys who are now pros), but obviously I know nothing about college sports, and can’t have an opinion on these athletes.

Tiger Woods gets $70-$100 million in endorsements. Where do you think that money comes from? If nobody paid attention to Tiger Woods these businesses wouldn’t be making him so rich.

The problem is that because this is college sports, some people want to be naive about the landscape of the sport. This is just the extention of the pros in a lot of ways.

Personally I think players, especially those on your team, need to realize they are in a state with no NFL team, college athletes are celebrities here in the way pro athletes are in other states, and they need to adjust.

When pro athletes are rookies they go through seminars, symposiums, etc., to learn how to deal with life as a pro. I honestly think something needs to happen at the collegiate (and high school) level as well, teaching these guys about social media and being out there.

This is a case where nothing went wrong, other than some discussion, but there are cases of some pretty big flops. Whether it’s P’Allen Stinnett calling out the fans on Facebook, or that Texas Player who got the boot for saying something racist about Obama on Facebook as well, it’s clear what direction a lot of this stuff is going.

Banning players from using Facebook and Twitter would go a long way, as a coach, but providing the education around it is important. A lot of these guys in D1 have incredible egos. They want fans to join their facebook and twitter accounts; it feeds the ego. The issue is they want this, but when they play badly, or say something stupid, and it backfires, it makes them look bad. I see no upside for a high level athlete in the collegiate level having that social media, because it tends to lead to more bad than good.

With all that has gone on with social media and athletes the last couple of years, I’m surprised so many don’t see the point I’m making.

But the argument is not an invention. You can disagree with it all you want, treat me like an a-hole, etc. The people here aren’t interested in discussing this, and like I was saying before I apologize.

I got everything I think out there, and that’s it. Peace out, good luck on the season. In my short time here I’ve seen the Hawks have a good season, but typically they occured in years where it was unexpected. It will be interesting to see how they play as one of the favorites as opposed to being the underdog, and how they handle it.

For the teams they’re playing, you couldn’t ask for a better setup with their schedule, and I know I’m just preaching to the choir.

Did you really think that I literally meant that you invented this argument? Come on. But it has precious little bearing to the discussion in the original post or the discussion that had been going in the comments; you wanted to make a grand argument about the modern athlete and their responsibilties, despite the fact that such an argument is an awkward fit for this situation.

If you want to talk about a situation where athletes are angry about getting in trouble for material they put out on social media, it might help if the athletes in question were, you know, angry about it… or even in trouble for it. Which, by all accounts, they are not.

When pro athletes are rookies they go through seminars, symposiums, etc., to learn how to deal with life as a pro. I honestly think something needs to happen at the collegiate (and high school) level as well, teaching these guys about social media and being out there.

This does happen. The gulf between informing 18-22 year old players of the issues and actually altering their behavior can be (and is) pretty substantial.

With all that has gone on with social media and athletes the last couple of years, I’m surprised so many don’t see the point I’m making.

You’re assuming that people don’t get your point (as if it’s some sort of bold new stance that none of us had ever considered, what with Iowa fans being so preoccupied with beer pong and tailgating and all), rather than assuming that we get it and simply don’t care because it has only passing relevance to this particular case.

But the argument is not an invention. You can disagree with it all you want, treat me like an a-hole, etc. The people here aren’t interested in discussing this, and like I was saying before I apologize.

A) I don’t think you’re an asshole, just a bit stubborn.
B) In case you haven’t noticed, we treat pretty much everyone like assholes at one point or another. Thick skin is a bit of a prerequisite.

Did I miss the part

Because it’s ridiculous.

in the 13 previous threads that have devolved into that topic.

Less memorable than Sam Okey's Hawkeye career.

I think

those threads also all included a mention of how good Sam Adams Noble Pils is; so I’m just going to add that here so it’s a complete reference of drinking age/beers.

I ate the blue ones ... they taste like burning.
