“So after 3 days sitting the life raft staring with intense belligerence at the magician, the parrot blurts out, ‘Ok, I give, where the hell did you get black guys in Iowa?’”

Brothers have been playing for Iowa as far back as 1910, when Ottumwa’s Archie Alexander play tackle for the Hawkeyes. An accomplished engineer, he later became governor of the US Virgin Islands.

From 1918-21 Fred “Duke” Slater of Clinton IA became Iowa’s first black All-American, and with Nile Kinnick, an inaugural member of the College Football Hall of Fame. After graduating he was the only black player in the NFL. He later earned his law degree at Iowa and retired as a municipal judge in Chicago. Iowa’s Slater dormitory is named in his honor.

In the early 30’s, Ozzie Simmons was another Black Hawkeye all-American, who was a victim of racist on-field attacks by Illinois and Minnesota players.

In 1956 Iowa’s Calvin Jones became the first Black Outland Trophy winner and another CFHoF inductee.

In 1959 Iowa’s Willburn Hollis was among the first black starting QBs in major college football history.

Meanwhile, SEC schools were greeting Black applicants with axe handles, Rottwielers and firehoses.

That said, these retarded thugs are an embarrassment to the University of Iowa.

Okay, exactly when will a college coach get smart and confiscate all camera’s from a team, and mandate that all players have cell phones that do not have a camera function?

Will anyone have the balls to tell his team “No Facebook, no MySpace, nothing of that sort”

What the F do they have these pages for? Social Networking? Can’t you be like the guys on the practice team and just wear your lettermans’ jacket around all over campus so people know you are an athlete? Girls basically scissor sister each other in a bar now, but you still need to pick up some strange thru Facebook?

I mean Christ, what is up with so many dumbasses taking pictures now in college?

I’m gonna go out on a limb and guess he won’t be part of the 38%.

17: They certainly do exist in Iowa. There is very little concern for chivalry or marriage or promises thereof. COMPLETELY different from the chicas at my alma mater (Roll Tide!). Best decision I ever made was going to law school up here…pendulous breasts and dubious morality abound!!

Oh, and FYI, this is what a ghetto blaster, straight out of 1980 (ish) looks like

#29-
Perhaps because that’s not a boom box? (and the preferred nomenclature is “ghetto blaster”) That is what is commonly known these days as the “bookshelf stereo system”, and is quite prevalent at your local Best Buy/Circuit City/whatever.

Mr. Swindel,

With regards to the overall Fullmer Cup standings, I wasn’t sure if you were aware 5 of the 7 charges against Anthony Scirrotto were dropped on Wednesday….

Okay, that didn’t work. Try

and then go to the Youth Targeted radio ad called “Click,” or the one called “Ding” which ominously references photos being forwarded to “your coach.”

Who knew it was “gangsta” Hawkeye football players were really the target of the Ad Council’s latest PSA warning teens about posting pictures on their profiles for “not so friendly” people to find?

I wonder if I withdrew a shit load of money from my bank account, put up some pictures of it on face book, then re-deposited it all on the sly, if I would have some skanks up on my shit? Having a couple grand isn’t as big time as SPENDING a couple grand. please tell these low rollers to take a seat.
