Fun times for the Hawkeyes

This is all alleged right now, but Iowa football coach Kirk Ferentz, along with the AD and 3 other school officials, is accused of trying to cover up a gang rape (two is a gang in my book) involving a couple of football players. Here's the best part:

The alleged victim was harassed, followed, taunted and called names such as "whore" by several athletes from university athletic programs, including Satterfield, Everson and other football players, her mother said in a phone interview.

Very nice.

Bowl preview from FO

It uses drive data for its analysis, and it's probably a good way to find some nice wagering opportunites.

Iowa's pink visitor's locker room

Apparently the most unfunny people in the country (radical feminists, naturally) have filed a lawsuit to get Kinnick Stadium's visitor's locker room color changed from pink to anything-but-pink. I have no love for Iowa, but I really hate feminists like this who see everything as a life-or-death struggle against the phallic oppression from the patriarchy.

Reuter HATES Western Michigan

First, last night they come into the Joe and beat the Ramblers. Now they are 2 minutes (and a field goal) attempt from going into Iowa at Kinnick Stadium or whatnot and winning in football.

While I'm watching this spectacle, by the way, I'm listening to Metallica's ...And Justice For All. That's some musical range I've got, from N.W.A to Styx to Metallica.

As an aside, what happens to Ferentz? Does he have enough goodwill built up to survive two crappy years in a row? I'm not suggesting they fire him; I'm just curious. My guess is that Iowa's expectations aren't so high that they'd dump him.

Game over, and good night, Hawkeyes.

A college football player who doesn't play video games?

Yep. And here I thought I was the only man under the age of 40 who doesn't like them

In a college generation of log-on, tune-out, what's-next, Malcolm Arrington is in a silent male minority: He doesn't play video games.

''I'm really not into it,'' the emerging Northwestern linebacker said. ''Of course it's a big thing among college students. I know some people who play them all day. I don't see why, but they do.''

Walk Of Shame - Saturday, October 6

This morning I made the walk of shame after meeting a girl out for drinks after work. This was a bit unusual, though, since I did it from around 6300 N. LSD. Luckily, it was only a few blocks from the Granville Red Line stop. Since I have nothing but time today, I took the train and then the Fullerton bus, and I made the whole trip in 45 minutes. Not too shabby!

When I got home I went to the store, then ate for lunch a frozen pizza and over a pound of chicken nuggets. Needless to say this made me want to sleep.

After a nap, I'm just getting ready for baseball in a few minutes. In the meantime, who knew that the best game on TV by far is the USF-FAU game on ESPNU. FAU just rolled down the field on the #6 team in the country, and it's not 14-14 with 8 minutes left in the 3rd quarter. I'm so tired of Florida, Florida State, and Miami that I hope USF becomes a great program and counterweight to them all, too, so I'm rooting for them pull this one out.

Oops! It's 5 PM, time for the Cubs brutal end to their season. Go D-Backs! I know I should be better person about the Cubs, but I'm trying. Old habits die hard, right?

UPDATE: F the D-Backs game. I'm staying with this USF-FAU game. USF's up 7 but FAU is plowing over the USF defense AGAIN. 1:34 left in the 3rd.

UPDATE 2: Chris Young just gave the D-Backs a quick 1-0 on a HR. OK, I'm going picture in picture, baby!

My favorite Michigan Wolverine ever

I hate to steal two links from With Leather in one day, but this is possibly the best interview I've ever seen. Maybe it's not really an interview, but it's very funny to think it is. Go Blue!, or at least if this guy is representative of them.

Reuter REALLY needs to get With Leather unblocked at PwC. Bribe an IT guy or something, man!
