The South Florida Bulls just watched their dream season go down the drain, and they’re still having a better week than Towson University. Towson, in the city of Towson and just north of Baltimore, is having problems all across campus. The football team is catching drug charges and the sororities aren’t too bright.Two Towson Tiger football players were arrested on drug charges although the police aren’t saying much:

Senior cornerback Eric Clark and junior linebacker Trent Covington, once stars of the Towson Tiger football program, are now suspended from the school after Baltimore County police say they arrested the two Thursday night at their apartment in Cockeysville. Police won’t talk about it, citing an ongoing investigation.

I guess when the team’s 3-4 (1-4 in conference) getting picked up by the cops is a positive… At least you don’t have to play for the team anymore.. An arrest and an investigation are a long way from a conviction, but since the school is so close to B-more, it’s possible these 2 cats caught Wireitus. Cut the football team some slack…

Because the sororities at Towson University are goin wild. Not quite late night infomercial wild, but wild enough to get put on party probation.

The drinking pictures came from before and during September’s Bid Day, when sororities recruit new members. Current members literally tackle the recruits. Reports say that some students were injured in the tackling, and some students were charged with underage drinking, even though there was no apparent evidence of drinking among the pledges. Alpha Omicron Pi, Alpha Phi, Phi Mu, Phi Sigma Sigma and Zeta Tau Alpha are banned from organizing social activities until spring break.

Sorority girls.. drinking pictures.. Facebook.. Please tell me more. Unfortunately the pics are gone now, but if somebody happens to find some, please pass them along.

I was cruising around Show Hype, the latest creation from the folks that brought us Ball Hype, when I came across an article in the New Yorker about The Wire. Actually, the article is about David Simon, the creator of HBO’s The Wire, but The Wire is the main topic for 2/3 of the story. Here are some of the things I picked up from article about the upcoming final season of the best show on television. Read the full story

If gambling was abolished, do you know who would suffer the most? The NFL and the NBA referees. Regardless of the NFL’s official stance on wagering, the reason the league is so popular is because of the violence, gambling, and video games. But I’m not here to call the NFL a bunch of hypocrites, I’m here to salute the gridiron gladiators. I am entertained and hopefully my picks do likewise.

I’m superstitious, so I never pick for or against my favorite team, the Philadelphia Eagles. The home team is in bold type. Read the full story
