Football Trash Talk -- Not What You Think
After last Saturday's Iowa-Iowa State Game it's time for a little football trash talk. And it's not what you'd think.
Football is not pretty. Last Saturday [Sept. 8] it was the Iowa State game. This Saturday it will be the University of Northern Iowa.
Last Saturday may be the worst I've ever seen.
And I'm not even talking about the Hawkeyes' performance inside Kinnick. Nor am I talking about the exploitation of student athletes for what is, in fact, big business -- complete with TV revenues, multi-million-dollar facilities, budgets (and salaries). I'm not talking about current concern over the life-long consequences for players from concussions and other injuries.
I'm talking about one of the consequences from the University of Iowa's alcohol culture -- the effort to mix what the pictured shirt advertises as the improbable co-existence of "great minds" and a student binge drinking rate twice the national average.
