GO VOLS! I am very interested in butt chugging.

http://www.knoxnews.com/news/2012/sep/24/ut-fraternity-suspended-over-graphic-alcohol/

As medical personnel treated a University of Tennessee student for severe alcohol poisoning from a bizarre consumption method, UT police walked into a drunken scene at a campus fraternity, records show.

Officers early Saturday found several young men at the Pi Kappa Alpha house, 1820 Fraternity Park Drive, passed out in their rooms “and bags from wine boxes, some empty and some partially empty, strewn across the halls and rooms.”

Authorities think Alexander P. Broughton, 20, of Memphis, who had a blood-alcohol level thought to be “well over” 0.40 percent, ingested the alcohol by a method known as “butt chugging,” in which wine was inserted directly by a tube into his rectum for quick and potent absorption.

On Monday, Pi Kappa Alpha’s UT chapter was administratively suspended for 30 days by Pi Kappa Alpha International, pending a decision regarding its permanent status, according to a statement from UT spokeswoman Karen Ann Simsen.

UTPD is leading an investigation into the incident. Knoxville police are assisting as needed, according to Knoxville Police Department spokesman Darrell DeBusk.

No criminal charges have been filed, although UTPD officers issued a number of citations early Saturday to young men at the fraternity, according to police records.

The suspension will remain in place while campus police investigate.

UT officers responded about 1:30 a.m. Saturday to the University of Tennessee Medical Center emergency room after an unresponsive Broughton was brought in by several young men, according to a UTPD incident report.

The victim appeared to be “extremely intoxicated and showed signs of physical and possible sexual assault,” the report states.

Investigators determined Broughton had received the alcohol enema at the Pike house. Broughton later was transferred to the hospital’s critical care unit.

By Monday night he was no longer listed as a patient at the hospital, according to a nursing supervisor.

Police determined other students at the Pike house had engaged in a similar form of alcohol consumption.

“Upon extensive questioning it is believed that members of the fraternity were using rubber tubing inserted into their rectums as a conduit for alcohol as the abundance of capillaries and blood vessels present greatly heightens the level and speed of the alcohol entering the blood stream as it bypasses the filtering by the liver,” DeBusk stated in a news release Monday.

The fraternity’s UT chapter previously was suspended for two weeks after three pledges were hospitalized following a January 2008 hazing incident. A family member told the News Sentinel that the students had developed staph infections after being made to do exercises on a bathroom floor.

Canes played an all time great game against Georgia Tech Saturday. Holy fuck that was good. Teams are mediocre, but if it's good football it's good football.

Canes are 3-1, only loss coming to a really good Kansas State team. I think they could win the ACC Coastal division this year based purely on the fact that the ACC as a whole, especially the Coastal, really sucks. Even Virginia Tech is down this year. Also, a lot of young talent on this Canes team, so I believe they steal one from either Notre Dame or FSU. Could have a good record and generate hype heading into next year, which should be the breakout year for my Canes assuming Golden is a good coach.

As much as I hate FSU I'm glad to see that they are back (although they will drop some games they shouldn't this year, in classic Jimbo fashion). The ACC really needs Miami and FSU atop the conference in order to bring it the respect it deserves. We've been killed as a conference every year because VT and some other 1st and a half rate team like Clemson or North Carolina under Butch has been playing first raters from other conferences, and it trickles down to the second and third raters, and before you know it they are 1-7 in bowl games, the conference has a reputation for sucking, and teams that go 11-1 have no shot at a title game.

If Miami and FSU get back to title contention and rule at the top of the conference, then Virginia Tech plays Arkansas instead of LSU, Clemson plays Michigan or Wisconsin instead of Ohio State, and all of a sudden the conference looks like the decent power it was supposed to be when it formed and Miami and Virginia Tech joined.

over the previous 2 seasons Clemson has been more impressive then Miami

I agree that VT always being "the representer"of the ACC in the BCS isnt good for the ACC but its a sad state of affairs over the last few years n few teams are ever able to really change that

I do see FSU slipping up n probably loosing one they shouldn't though i seriously hope not, they're my team n if they go undeafeted its likely they'd make it to the championship game seeing how LSU n Bama will be playing in a few weeks, n as everyone knows the SEC is tough so i do see it as a possibility that FSU could make it into the top two particularly b/c thier schedule isnt as tough as LSU or Alabama

That is the point I am trying to make in my post. That Clemson and VT have fielded better teams than Miami (and FSU before this year) for much of the last decade. This means that Clemson or Virginia Tech has made the top Bowl Games (BCS and those a tier below), they are being outmatched by greater programs like Ohio State, Florida, USC, Alabama, etc..

Miami and FSU are programs that can consistently compete with the likes of Ohio State, USC, Oklahoma, Texas and the SEC powers, while Virgina Tech and Clemson simply do not receive enough talent on a consistent basis. Virginia Tech has always done well with great coaching and above average athletes, while Clemson seems to attract a few premier player a year but lacks a core of highly regarded (by schools, measured in commitable scholarship offers) players. They simply do not have the volume of guys necessary to compete with the likes of a winning top tier program. Despite a championship win by Clemson in the 80's and an appearance by Tech not so long ago, both schools have failed to elevate their programs to the next level. Of the two, Clemson does have the greatest chances to join the elites, but I find this doubtful.

The point of this explanation is to say that Clemson and Virginia Tech are both less than ideal top representatives of a conference, particularly one that wishes to be more competitive the way the ACC does. Virginia Tech will lose to an LSU team in 9/10 BCS/top tier bowls, and Clemson will lose to an Ohio State team in 9/10 BCS/top tier bowls. When Miami and FSU get back to representing the conference in BCS bowls, the odds are 50/50 once again, and Clemson ends up playing the likes of Arkansas (50/50 most years) and Virginia Tech ends up playing top 15 Michigan State or Wisconsin teams, which are closer to 50/50 once again.

Miami and FSU being down have really hurt conference perceptions, which weren't particularly strong in the first place, but it hurts them to the point where a 1 loss FSU team may not go into the title game over a 1 loss team from another conference (although FSU, to be fair, has been in a few title games they didn't deserve to be in because of popularity), even though the conference may not be as weak as perception states. If all things are ideal in the conference, it has 2 consistent title contenders (FSU, Miami), 2 teams that are generally ranked year to year (VT, Clemson), and fills out with a handful of teams that find themselves ranked every few years and have good potential to make runs (GT, UNC, Boston College, etc..). The only teams that truly suck every year are Wake Forest and Duke. Getting Miami and FSU back into title contention actually puts this conference on par with the Big 12 (before they lost Mizzou and A&M).
 
good minnesota dumb for CR

Minnesota-Crookston-logo-screwup.jpg



There's a simple reason they call it a midfield logo. It goes at midfield.

Not so much at the University of Minnesota, Crookston, a Division II team. Its logo was painted at the 45-yard line, 5 yards off where it should be, according to Larry Brown Sports.

Great googly moogly.

Shawn Smith, the sports information director at Minnesota, Crookston, said the first time someone noticed the mistake was when the team had a walk-through practice at the stadium last Friday. He said coach Paul Miller was the first to notice the logo seemed a bit off.

"I think the initial reaction was like, well that isn't right and everyone had a nice little laugh," Smith said in an email.

While the logo faux pas was embarrassing for Minnesota, Crooked -- er, Crookston -- the school is taking it in stride. Smith explained that over the past few years students have volunteered to paint the block M at midfield for the homecoming game. When they went to do so this time, the yard markers weren't painted yet. So, they started the logo at the 40-yard line instead of the 45 like they should have, and the entire logo ended up 5 yards off center.

Smith said the volunteering students felt bad about the mistake, but maybe the Golden Eagles want to keep it as is if they're superstitious. They beat Southwest Minnesota State 33-28 on Saturday for their first win of the season, which gave the school even more reason to laugh at itself about the logo and move on.

"The bottom line was it was a mistake, it happened and hey, we won," Smith said.
 
bring the enema kit. but not the franzia. i'm gonna plug as much natty ice up my ass as i possibly can.
 
heu gophers have the raised floor to make thier basketball arena awesome and quirky(sorry vandy, but minnesota pulled this off first, i think willams arena was built in 1926) i love the fact

i love that arena, there's like no room for adverstising, except to have mcdonald's logo on all the steps
it's pretty much a big high school gym, i hope it never goes away

i just guess thier football team needed some attention for their facilites as well
i never knew about this, i feel like i should have known this, source of that article?

i don't even think there is a southwest minnesota state because if there was minnesota would def play them every year

love that photo i would do anything for minnesota to be a football powerhouse like it was back in the early 40s
 
2012- year of the ducks.. SEC doesn't look nearly as good as it has in the past, Oregon looks better. Alabama will be tough to beat in the NC.
 
i pray to the gods of the big ten that a pac 12 or big 12 school win the nat'l championship

yes i pray to the big ten gods, sure it's a down year but even jesus built a few bad barns
 
^^ he's only got like 60 posts so i went back and looked through them, looking for when oregon lost to auburn and to LSU found myself in a timesink reliving all those terrible/amazing football moments, meeting chickenscratch for the first time and all the blow, jim being an insufferable wanker about terelle pyror, ryan mallet and arkansas, will muschamp to florida and the big 10 losing 5 bowl games in a single day -- tressel van alden, care wandering into the thread and being amazed at everyone getting "worked up over b rate football" as we talked about the iron bowl!

what a year. this year looks extremely boring in comparison. or maybe it's because we're missing some retards to beat up.
 
watching my gophers for the first time this year

god damn they look horrible

i guess that's why they get a woman as a play by play every god damn time they are on nat'l tv
