The Best Damn Vandals in the Land!
Apparently, Nike sponsored a contest between Ohio State and Florida to see which student body could run the most in January. The winning school got to erect a statue of their mascot on the losing school's campus.
Well, once again Florida came out on top. And Buckeye fans welcomed that statue as they welcome all visitors to Columbus...
UPDATE: We've received some comments from Buck fans regarding this post, upset because they claim it was actually a set-up by Nike to cast them in a bad light. They even claim one of the destroyers of the statue is a Nike employee.
However, the "proof" offered in our comments section for these claims is a letter to the editor by an irate OSU fan on Dispatch.com, the Columbus Dispatch's website. In it, the writer offers quotes "proving" his point. But checking the NikePlus.com site, the folks who ran the contest, I couldn't find any mention of the quotes used to support the letter writer's claims. Thus, some guy saying it in a Letter to the Editor doesn't make it true.
If this was a set-up all along and one of the people filmed destroying the statue is a Nike employee, Buck fans have a beef. But again, a person claiming such facts without providing the source, doesn't make it so. Thus, if anybody can provide something other than a letter to the editor as proof, we'd love to see it.

Brutal? Yes. Over-the-top? Not really.
As some commenter on EDSBS said, it's essentially a 7 ft. FUCK YOU after the ass raping Ohio State received on Jan 8th. The phrase "adding insult to injury" comes to mind. (Damn you, Ted Ginn)
If some USC kids put up a life-size Trojan complete with sword on Michigan's campus, I GUARANTEE it might not have lasted much longer than Albert.

Uh, it's not "essentially a 7 ft. FUCK YOU," it's the payment for losing a bet.
A "fuck you" would have been a couple random UF fans just putting this up for shits and giggles. OSU lost but can't handle the consequences.
If Ohio State couldn't take it, they should have never have made the bet.

Yeah, like the students ripping it up knew about the bet. I hadn't heard about it until I saw the video. It wasn't something that was made into a big deal here at OSU. It wasn't widely publicized.
So most likely, to the students beating the thing up, it WAS as if it was a toally random "shits and giggles" act.
And like Eric said, the same would happen at UM if you put a USC trojan in AA. Or really, at any college if a rival school's mascot were plaed on its campus.

While college students are often destructive, they are also creative. I would expect that at Michigan or with many other rivalry schools, the statue would have been painted or given an inappropriate prop.
Not so at OSU, where their natural instict is to walk up an kick it in the nuts... unless that guy was just frustrated because he couldn't read the placard.

At least they didn't throw a powdered doughnut at it. Gotta save those.
- February 19, 2007 8:00 AM
it was a competition to see who could run more between a school that did not see temps above 30 or a school that did noy see temps go below 70, even a michigan fan could figure out who would win.

3 points:
1) i've lived in OH for 12 years, and (at some point) i was a visitor, and i've never been assaulted (or even insulted). So not "all visitors" are treated with disdain, just the ones that chose to act in a manner that isn't liked.
2) i'm an OSU grad student, and i run 5 times a week. This blog is the first time that i've heard of the "running bet" b/w OSU and UF, so i'm assuming my 30 miles a week weren't counted. As such i demand a re-count! (those damn Floridians always cheat). On a serious note: if it's not really publicized to the students you can't consider it a fair bet, so UF students putting the GATOR in the middle of frat row is just a giant insult (this location also wasn't optimal, but that's another story).
3) this point is small, and was already touched on: as a runner you don't need much incentive to run in Gainesville in January. Columbus weather on the other hand has been brutal, and i even broke out my cross country skis for a couple of weeks b/c running knee deep in snow isn't all that exciting for me. I'm not making excuses, but however made this bet must have been a representative of our undergraduate student gov't (pretty disconnected from both reality and the people they "govern"). So if you think that the playing surface wasn't leveled at the 'Shoe on Nov. 18, maybe you should consider fairness of "playing surface" in this bet.
sorry for the long winded comment.

About the location:
It was not actually placed on the OSU campus. They put it on the wrong side of High Street, next to a bunch of bars.
- February 19, 2007 10:18 AM
This was a promotion by NIKE. The guy demolishing the statue near the end of the video was a NIKE employee
- February 19, 2007 11:30 AM
Interesting-i heard kids on campus talking about it. most of it being "WTF" responses...
I haven't seen anything like it since Saddam's Statue was toppled!!
- February 19, 2007 12:20 PM
the way it was built, the statue looked like saddam
- February 19, 2007 1:04 PM
Here's a link to Columbus Dispatch article describing the incident you're talking about. You be the judge of who's at fault, but my $ is on Nike.
- February 19, 2007 1:22 PM

wow. so the whole thing (the violent part) was pretty much staged by Nike.

Sounds to me like Buckeyes shouldn't schedule, accept, or allow any more competitions between them and the University of Florida. I'm just saying...
- February 19, 2007 3:56 PM
Obviously a cheap set-up, Nike publicity stunt. The statue was filled with styrofoam, placed next to bars (as Ohio Guy points out), and the site was STAKED OUT for chrissakes.
A far-more-interesting proposition: how long would a monument to the buckstash last in Columbus? If subtle enough, I bet quite awhile.
- February 19, 2007 7:21 PM
wow, big surprise there. tOSU = CLASS

I doubt that a Nike employee spit on the statue or went after it with a blade.
Beast in Bama nailed - the 2001 reference was hilarious, and on point.
- February 19, 2007 9:19 PM
Look on the brightside Ohio_Guy et al, at least Nike had the decency to cut the part where Albert sacked Troy Smith.
- February 20, 2007 1:16 AM
Nike set up OSU students to look like assholes on camera and somehow OSU students/fans lack class. Grow up. Out of 60,000 students they could get one to drop kick the thing by promising him he'll be on TV and then Nike employees finished the statue destruction (making it look like they're students). This is somehow OSU's fault.
And how about the lame "who can log more miles with their Ipod/Nike running shoes". I'm sure OSU not only challenged the Gators but defined the terms of the bet, too (if you can't figure it out there's a bit of sarcasm in my last sentence).
- February 20, 2007 7:47 AM
The statue was surely provocative, but if it were in A2, we UM students would definitely do something smarter than simply destroy it. Maybe put an Iraqi flag and a noose over its head or something, hell I don't know.
Urban Meyer started WWI, btw.
- February 20, 2007 11:23 AM
ok, for the final time: OSU students had nothing to do with the statue destruction. If you read the comments left here by fellow bloggers, there's a link to the description of the story. So that you don't have to look for it i'll paste it again:
Nike staged the destruction and made it look like OSU students. This is a fact. They should be ashamed of themselves for promoting violence at a place like OSU where (as most have correctly pointed out) violence is a real problem, especially in connection to football.
It's true, OHIO STATE FANS CAN GET VIOLENT. But, this had nothing to do with OSU fans/students.

Web-only letters to the editor
The Columbus Dispatch
Tuesday, February 6, 2007
Dispatch.com regularly will post letters to the editor that don't make it to print in The Dispatch. Unlike letters to the editor that appear the newspaper, Web-only letters have not been edited.
On Thursday, February 1, outside of local businesses on the corner of 15th Ave. and High Street the Nike Corporation set up a 6 to 7 foot Styrofoam and wood likeness of "Albert" the Gator, the mascot for Florida University. This was done through a "fair" and agreed upon competition through nikeplus.com between the two Universities. The winner of the contest needed to have logged more miles running with Nike's running shoes designed for ipods. The Ohio State University lost this contest and thus had to have the Florida Gator mascot set up near campus.
Nike's purpose of setting up the display was and I quote "to film the reactions of students destroying it." The film crew was basically encouraging people (many of whom were OSU students heading to class) to engage in an act of destruction and violence. After the display had been set up for about 3 hours the film crew grew restless because they were not getting the footage they needed. The only footage that was available was of many students walking up to the display with a puzzled look on their faces. Many walked away after reading the plague explaining how we lost the competition and taking pictures without doing any harm to the display. Three to four people gave the gator a playful kick, but nothing close to the kicks of former OSU kicker Mike Nugget.
Finally one hapless OSU student happened to wonder by the display. Upon seeing the camera crew, he asked them what they were doing. The crew told the student they were filming a commercial for Nike showing the destruction of the display by OSU students. After hearing this, the student walked over to the display and ripped the gator from its foundation and preceded to body slam it. After taking a break, the student came back with what appeared to be another OSU student. This was not true by any means. This so called "student" was in fact a member of the film crew. This member, who was the youngest looking one on the Nike staff, looked to be the same age as the average college student. He came out of one of the local businesses, where the film crew was set up, wielding a baseball bat and started to pummel the gator likeness repeatedly. It was discovered that he was with the film crew when he started to help take down a microphone by the display, and when he was involved in the clean up of the display and put away the camera equipment.
Unfortunately the other 50,000+ OSU students and millions of Buckeyes fans across the nation who did not participate in this act will be labeled as violent and disrespectful by the nation when this commercial will air. Further more, this misrepresentation of OSU will rekindle the previous acts of violence done by OSU students and fans and bring those acts back into the spot light after the University and fans had worked hard to replace this image with a fan base that had a good time cheering on their beloved Buckeyes without doing harm to other persons, properties, or institutions symbols and images.
So, congratulations to the Nike Corporation and the film crews for having one student of the university represent his other 59,090 students plus over 400,000 living alumni and millions of countless Buckeye fans. Kudos to the film crew member of the Emmy winning performance as a student. I would also like to congratulate the director of the commercial with getting the true "authentic" and "realistic" reactions of OSU students and fans.

Yes, I saw the Dispatch.com letter to the editor. But it doesn't prove anything. What is the source of the "to film the reactions of students destroying it." I couldn't find it on NikePlus, the folks who ran the contest. Some guy saying it in a Letter to the Editor doesn't make it true.
And where is the proof that the person destroying the thing was a Nike employee? That would really look bad but, again, where's the proof?
If true, Buck fans have a beef. But again, a person claiming such facts w/out providing the source, doesn't make it so.
- February 20, 2007 1:50 PM
No offense, Yost, but your source (EDSBS) isn't any more credible than a letter to the editor that's provided in the Dispatch. Thank you for at least acknowledging that there're 2 sides (potentially) to this story.
A reasonable fan will know what's true and what's not, since the whole thing is basically a commercial for Nike (i'm not sure in which way however).
- February 20, 2007 4:50 PM
- Yost said...
The source of this isn't EDSBS. It's NikePlus. EDSBS didn't create it, only posted the already-completed video just as we did.
So to try to equate that w/ refuting what's seen on the tape in a LTTE is apples to oranges.
And, until I see otherwise, I have a hard time believing Nike would send an employee to trash a statue they put up since the resulting negative pub - if discovered - wouldn't be worth it.
One man's opinion.
- February 20, 2007 5:39 PM
any publicity is publicity (even negative).
- February 20, 2007 5:54 PM
- ohio_guy said...
It was made of styrofoam. It was meant to get trashed.

- The King said...
Yes. Nike has SO MUCH TO GAIN by smearing the name of a University that they spend MILLIONS OF DOLLARS supporting every year.
- February 20, 2007 6:39 PM
Yost, King,
the "video" you're referring to is a commercial advertisedment. Pardon my cynicism (sp?) but i'm not going to take it at face value. If you would like to be naive and take it at face value, you can, but in that case i might have a couple of bridges to sell you.
As far as my source, the "letter to the editor", i don't know the person that wrote it, but i'm assuming it was just an observer. This letter is a depiction of what the observer saw when the commercial was being shot (more than what the Nike camera will show you). I chose to beleive him/her, just like you chose not too.
We can agree to disagree.
- February 21, 2007 8:22 AM
Ohio State has more excuses than any program or school I have ever seen. Their thugs destroy a statue and it ``was staged.'' Teflon Tressel and his endless lies and cheating has made that school what it is. Miami North. Now your students are acting like the thugs your football players are.
- February 21, 2007 4:25 PM
- ohio_guy said...
"Their thugs destroy a statue"
WTF? A couple people people tore up a big piece of styfofoam shaped lke a gator. That doesn't mean that all 51,000 OSU students are "thugs"
- February 21, 2007 11:41 PM
No it doesnt, but it sure as hell doesnt help the opinion thats been formulated from all of the other moronic things those fucksticks do. I mean come on, just this year for example, 40 arrested after the game. Thats a high quality fan base. The only thing I havent seen yet is the episode of COPS from that day. Your fucking fans are about as high class as the Miami, I mean Thug U football team.
- February 23, 2007 10:13 PM
you have no idea if any of the arrested were UM fans, so reserve your judgement for someone who cares about it.
One more thing you haven't seen from that day is a victory over the Bucks. Since you can't beat the football team (even with the trip to the NC game on the line) you will now talk about "classless OSU fans".
I think the reason people call UM fans elitist isn't b/c they have more $$$ than others (they don't). It's b/c whenever you loose you try to cover up the shame with your patented "we're still better than them because their fans are thugs".
Well i hope it lets you sleep better at night.
- February 24, 2007 11:25 AM
- Yost said...
We did reserve our judgement for someone who cares: you - a Buckeye fan trolling Michigan sites to post anonymously you care so much.
And we're elitist because we know how to spell "lose."
- February 24, 2007 1:43 PM
If you go to nikeplus.com and click on "community" you see a button that reads, "Go to Nike+ channel to laugh at the consequences." You then get a screen that reads, "Watch our consequence videos for some cringe-worthy inspiration . . ." So, if the "mascot" is not ripped apart it makes for some pretty boring video. That and the fact it lasted 5 hours lends credibility to people eventually being encouraged to take it apart by those operating the video camera.
- February 25, 2007 8:50 AM
i'm not sure what "trolling" even means, but i like your blog so i check it to get news about college football. As far as me posting anonymously, you getting a screen name doesn't make you any less anonymous.
And it's not elitist that you know how to spell something, it's elitist to point it out when something is mispelled. You're not my 5th grade teacher, and i don't have time to proof read stuff i post here.
- February 25, 2007 12:30 PM
Hey moron, we can beat your football team. In the all-time head to head matchup, and you sure you fit right in with all the other idiots down there who think only the last six games count, we have one once. That means we did beat you!!!! YAHOOEE If we win this year tho, it will be 1-0 Michigan. All Time. You guys will have never beaten us. Man, we can run our mouth like we are the shit. Look out. You know what I mean. Like when they wore leather helmets that didnt count. Im not sure what it was, but it wasnt football. You guys rock. Thats soooo coooool. Get a life.
- February 25, 2007 10:34 PM
- ohio_guy said...
Anon 7:34, while you do have a point, remember this: UM has not beaten OSU since the creation of this site. This site is notorious for posting these types of anti OSU fan material. He may have concluded that the former relates directly to the later.
I don't neccessarily agree with that line of thinking though...because this is a U of M site, so seeing anti OSU material doesn't surprise me, regardless of recent games played.
Of course, that doesn't stop me from coming here. It's great to laugh at the other funny stuff here, and to defend my school when it is put down.
- February 25, 2007 11:04 PM
Anon 7:34, Ohio guy,
i know history and i know that OSU record against Michigan is not in our favor. I was simply refering to this site always putting OSU fans down (rather than the football team).
There're plenty of classless individuals among both fan bases, and that's not something i'm going to argue against. But when our whole fan base is getting dumped on without any facts to back it up, i do have a problem with it, even when it comes from a UM (anti-OSU) site.
And please hold on to your statistics about the number of arrests in C-bus on game day, the number of powdered doughnuts that were thrown at your sick grandmother when she was headed to the game and your videos of Albert being worked over by the baseball bat. None of these incidents involved all of OSU fans.
Other than that, i love this blog, it's the only non-OSU blog that i read for my college football news.

Chris Spencer's vocals and lyrics positively ache with fear and loathing (resembling the sound of a man trapped in the New York Subway system) while his searing Telecaster howl and pulverizing chords wreak havoc over Vincent Signorelli's thundering drums and Dave Curran's muscular, thick as lava bass lines.
Recorded by the band and producer Andrew Schneider at Brooklyn's Translator Audio (Shrinebuilder, Keelhaul), the record is an unfettered burst of pent up emotions and frustrations channeled into song and an unflinching glance into a type of life others probably should not lead.ĀFrom the shock and awe of the LP's lead track "Rat" and the stunningly damaged "Decay" to the doom and gloom of the heavy handed "No Chance" and through to the transcendental brainwork of "Stuck", UNSANE's "Wreck" is darkly abrasive and poetic music delivered with a fearsome intensity. Topping it all off is a twisted cover of the FLIPPER classic "Ha Ha Ha," which, in a nice bit of symmetry,many of us 1st heard on the classic and out-of-print A.T. "Let Them Eat Jellybeans" compilation!
UNSANE celebrates its 20th anniversary by delivering the darkest and most personal record of its celebrated career; "Wreck" is the band's defining moment.
"As anyone who's hung out there in the past decade could tell you, New York's Lower East Side is no longer a scary place. It's the kind of hood where you can chow on designer meatballs, drink Pabst in a neo-dive bar, and catch an artfully rustic indie folk band. Sure, some gritty pockets remain, but it wouldn't even come close to ranking on a list of contemporary NYC's bogeyman areas.
You wouldn't know any of this from listening to Unsane. In the mind of guitarist-frontman Chris Spencer, who moved to the LES along with his bandmates in the late 1980s, the place remains feral, a cesspool of violence (emotional as well as physical), addiction, and alienation that's straight out of Travis Bickle's dystopia...In 2012, the band's output is a PTSD freeze frame, a protracted rant re: the idea that things simply don't get better. Likewise, Unsane's sound is anti-evolutionary, almost masochistically so. For the past 20-odd years, both in their gruesome album covers (a severed head on the subway tracks, an automobile grille smeared with blood) and their often monosyllabically titled songs, they've explored only shades of grey, with spatterings of red...If you've heard anything the band has issued since 1995's Scattered, Smothered & Covered-- the record where the current lineup solidified, and arguably the definitive Unsane statement-- you know what you're getting into: ugly yet starkly coherent noise rock, built from just a few elements-- the rumble/thud of bassist Dave Curran and drummer Vincent Signorelli, and Spencer's sneering postindustrial blues riffs and trademark distorted yelp. Just in case you were in doubt about who was responsible, there's a dripping, crimson-stained hand on the cover, not to mention a typewriter font that'll whisk you back to the early 90s, Proust-style...The LES may have been scrubbed clean, but no one's sanitizing Unsane's hermetic urban nightmare anytime soon."- Pitchfork
"It's hard to believe it's been more than 20 years since we first heard NYC noise rockers Unsane, but maybe even harder to believe that their sound, even after 25+ releases, remains relatively unchanged. Wreck offers up another collection of blood splattered, knuckle dragging heaviosity, that sounds just as good as the first time we heard them, via their crushing Sub Pop single, and their still tough to beat self titled debut full length. The math remains the same for the most part, the drums a muscled pummel, the guitars distorted and HEAVY, the bass holding it all together, and Chris Spencer's vox a feral wail. The songs mostly one or two parts, chugging and churning and pounding hypnotically. An exercise in metallic minimalism, a sort of hypno-noiserock. The one change we do notice, is a lot more melody going on, and Spencer's vox a bit softer, and also more melodic. While opener "Rat" is a dead ringer for the Unsane of old, the second track "Decay" ends up sounding almost like Mudhoney, Spencer's vox definitely drifting into Mark Arm territory, with the song offering up some surprisingly melodic broody moodiness. But it suits them. And it's been a while since we've listened to the last few records (we STILL listen to those first few) so those changes may have been creeping up gradually, but they definitely seem more prominent on Wreck. Fear not, Unsane has most definitely NOT gotten soft, the record for the most part is heavy on the headbanging noise rock crush, and any extra melody only makes it go down a little bit easier, but even so, there's plenty of jagged heaviness and head caving noisiness to get stuck in your craw, and do a lot of bloody damage in the process. And be sure and stick around for the closer "Ha Ha Ha", which features Spencer's demonic cackle as the chorus, mirroring Dan Higgs' much less malevolent laughing song, and beyond that, it might be the heaviest, and best of the bunch."- Aquarius

You're running around down town on foot just a hair before midnight trying to find which bar your friends have taken over. It's 18 degrees out. Your bare hands are so cold that your touchscreen phone won't budge. You put your gloves on for a few minutes to warm them up. The moment you take your gloves off to try texting your posse again, your hands refreeze. Sound familiar? Well, a bunch of companies have created gloves that work with touchscreen phones and music players. The vast majority of these gloves are either knit or constructed with a super thin material that won't even take the chill off in 50 degree weather. I don't know about you, but I wear gloves to keep my hands warm.
Burton has hands down created the best, most functional, comfortable and warmest touch screen glove. Above all, it even has incredible dexterity. They've teamed up with TouchTec to create a supple and buttery leather that enables us of touch screen devices. In addition, the Pinnacle Glove, Gondy Glove and Veda Glove are all waterproof and breathable. Whether on the lift or cruising town, get ready to make a call, skip a song or snap a pic with your gloves on. Check out all of Burtons Gloves here.
Have you ever wanted to text somebody, but it's way too cold out to take your glove off? Well, want no more with Burton's TouchTec Technology you yourself can be staying connected all over the glove with friends and family and keeping your hand warm at the same time. This revolutionary nano technology creates genuine leather that combines a supple, buttery feel and rugged waterproof breath-ability with the freedom to use your touch screen phone or music player while using your gloves.
This has been a part of the Burton Technology articles.

The lights are on
This year's Super Replay Showdown ended with an unexpected dance-off between Ben Reeves and I. Even more unexpected was my fleet-footed rise to victory, but my triumph comes at a terrible toll; I now have to grind my way through the original NES installment of Ninja Gaiden, an infuriatingly challenging platformer whose unrelenting annoyances are matched only by the stupid cackling of GI's resident clown, Dan Ryckert.
Will I be able to overcome the multistage boss battle waiting for us at the end of Ninja Gaiden's long and treacherous road? Will I be able to resist the constant urge to bludgeon Dan to death with my microphone? We can only take it one episode at a time, but I'm putting the odds for both at 50/50.
Join Andrew Reiner, Bryan Vore, Dan Ryckert, and I for the inaugural episode of what may very well be the first never-ending Super Replay.
Check out more episodes at our Replay hub.

TUSCALOOSA | A "Harlem Shake" crew of about 150 gyrated in ninja, Pikachu, Angry Bird, Batgirl, Gandalf and other less identifiable guises on the University of Alabama Quad Friday afternoon, avoiding conflicts with administration this time by filing proper paperwork first.
When freshman Nojan Radfar rounded up hundreds of friends and other lighthearted folks back in mid-February, the video meme built around DJ Baauer's song of the same name was still cresting. Radfar had been challenged to create a UA version by a friend at the University of Texas, which boasts the largest "Harlem Shake" thus far, with a group estimated at about 4,000 dancing on the Austin campus.
Radfar figured he could top that, spreading the word via Facebook, Twitter and on-campus fliers. No special skills were required, other than a willingness to show up, maybe in a costume, and bring friends.
"You're not doing anything but jumping up and down looking stupid," Radfar said.
Hundreds gathered in front of the Amelia Gayle Gorgas Library on the afternoon of Feb. 18 as music came from a portable sound system, and Radfar's video camera stood positioned atop the steps facing down to the Quad. But before the shoot could be completed, members of the UA Police Department broke it up.
"Who knew you needed a grounds-use permit? Especially when I'm paying $40,000 or $50,000 (in tuition) to use these grounds," Radfar said.
The noise and potential disruption of normal school functions led to the police's intervention, said Shane Dorrill of UA's media relations.
"No one was informed that there was going to be a large gathering on the steps of the library," Dorrill said. The amplified music made it difficult for students studying in the library and those in classrooms surrounding the area, he said. This time, Radfar filled out the forms, which are found online, and followed the regulations. The permit allowed them to gather after 4 p.m. on a Friday.
"Had the young man gone through the proper channels last time, gotten his grounds-use permit, it would have been no problem," Dorrill said.
Radjan again took to social media and word-of-mouth to grow a crowd. Most seemed to be UA students, although a few more grown folks, like librarian Josh Sahib, who performs in local clubs as DJ Bin Rockin, and Allen Mallory, a psychology professor at Shelton State Community College and part-time stand-up comic, joined in.
"When I read about what happened with the cops here, I had a '60s flashback," Mallory said, laughing. He also wanted to prep for his own version of "Harlem Shake" that he's planning to shoot next month after a show. "I'm encouraging everybody to come out in shark outfits or whatever."
Part of the "Harlem Shake" meme is costuming, which can take pretty much any form the wearer wants. One man Friday afternoon combined a tuxedo Speedo with an '80s hair-metal wig and a mask of English rebel Guy Fawkes. Another mixed Gandalf with an Iron Man mask. Some women came decked out in fairy outfits, PJs or tights. Radjan himself stood down center for the shoot, sporting a Santa hat and a smile.
The "Harlem Shake" meme videos start with one person dancing, then cuts quickly to a larger crowd leaping wildly, spraying milk or other liquids and generally, as Radfar noted, aiming at purposefully stupid.
The earlier video attempt had finished its one-person part — a solo dancer dressed like the biker from the Village People, busting some old-school break-dancing moves — so Friday's shoot confined itself to the group shot. More than 100 people gathered pretty quickly, then others trickled in, encouraged by the crowd to drop their studying or Frisbee games. About 150 finally got it together.
"I'm not gonna lie; I'm disappointed (in the numbers)," Radfar said. "The first time we had at least four times as many people.
Some memes tend to have short shelf-lives. Unlike "Gangnam Style," which was driven by a corporate PR campaign, the "Harlem Shake" videos started grassroots style, with groups such as Radfar's pulling together and creating variations. One starts with bored hipsters in a backyard, one
flannel-clad girl moving gently back and forth in a placid backyard setting; on the cutaway, they've stripped to dance in bikinis. The University of Georgia swim team cut an entirely underwater "Harlem Shake." The cast of "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon," the Miami Heat and a Norwegian Army squadron have made versions.
But The Atlantic magazine called "meme murder" when the morning TV show "Today" cut one, suggesting that when a grassroots meme hits mainstream, it has jumped the shark.
Despite hoping for bigger numbers, Radfar still planned to have his video edited and online within a couple of hours.
"I can't thank all these people enough," he said. He estimated 10 to 20 percent of the crowd were personal friends. "They came out basically to support me.
"But what can I say? The time may have passed."

Stop the One-Peat
Wednesday we posted a link (with a follow up Thursday) about an LSU fan who was attempting to raise $10,000 to put up a billboard to show that USC had only won one national title, not two as most college football fans (and those of us here at the M Zone) had always assumed. Mr. One-Peat's thinking was, since LSU won the BCS title in 2003 when they defeated Oklahoma in the Sugar Bowl, they are considered the national champion in college football for that year.
Of course, he's forgetting that since there is no playoff in college football and two polls that are recognized as having the "power" to declare a champion, it's possible - even with the BCS in place - to have two teams share the mythical title of "National Champion." It's happened many times in the past, and without a playoff, it could very well happen again.
Even the NCAA doesn't seem to think there was only one "Champ" in '03. In its official record book, they list both LSU and USC as champions that year. Both teams won. As Barney and friends illustrate in the picture, they shared the title.
Now, the subject of a shared national title hits home to us here at the M Zone. The most recent football championship that Michigan can claim was in 1997 when the Wolverines shared the designation with Nebraska. With no clear-cut better team and the two teams not playing each other that year either, in a situation similar to LSU/SC in '03, the shared title was probably the best of a bad situation. Do Michigan fans think the Wolverines would have beaten the 'Huskers that year? No doubt. Just as I'm certain Nebraska fans have the same confidence in their '97 squad.
However, I don't think most of the Michigan or Nebraska fans - nor the LSU or USC fans in '03 - still feel in 2006 that their titles were or are diminished in any way because they had to share it.
Except for one glaring exception: Mr. One-Peat.
Evidently this LSU fan was upset at the national media, particularly ESPN and ABC, for continually referring to USC's attempt at a "Three-Peat" this season (even though that's what the media do, particularly the Boo-Yah! Back Back Back network). But who cares? If you're an LSU fan, it's not like they were trying to take away the Tigers' title. No matter what, the Bayou Bengals have their title. Always will. And saying that USC was going for three in a row didn't, nor doesn't, diminish what the '03 Tigers accomplished.
So enjoy it. It was 45 years since your last one. National championships, shared or solo, are often once or twice in a lifetime events. And for cryin' out loud, if you don't like what the GameDay crew is saying, turn off the TV.
Which is exactly what most LSU fans have done. But Mr. One-peat's remote must be broken and it's driven him insane. Because trying to raise ten grand, particularly in Louisiana at this time, just to put up some billboard to compensate for some perceived slight is crazy. It was hilarious as something passed around the Internet. We all got a good laugh out of the guy's point. But to actually try to raise money? Especially when everybody's already heard the joke?
So we at the M Zone have a better idea. We are encouraging everyone to ignore the "One-peat" and instead donate to either the Red Cross or the Bush-Clinton Hurricane Katrina Fund, both of which are accepting donations for the people who are still suffering the effects of Hurricane Katrina. So instead of trying to settle "mythical" slights, pass this on. Then "repeat" as needed.

We are in the BCS era. This is not 1997. No split. Go read the BCS contract that all BCS conferences signed.
Let's not even get into the subject of merit, that is, which team showed on the field who was better. USC fans cower at the thought.
- January 13, 2006 3:14 AM
And that is the actual BCS contract, not a sidepage of the BCS Website, which is hardly official. Go read the document that was signed. Your AD has one. (It is rumored that USC's AD burned the 2003 copy).

Ok, that made me laugh. I still disagree. But that was funny.
- January 13, 2006 3:34 AM
The BCS webpage you reference, which is a sidepage, is not official. It is not binding. The contract explicitly states that there is one national championship game and one national champion. If you have questions regarding this, ask your AD for a copy of the BCS contract.
The AP is self-governing. But to start with the AP or Coaches Poll is to err. Start first with the BCS conferences. They signed a contract with the BCS. That contract recognizes one national championship game, a de facto playoff, and one national champion. That the conferences themselves agreed to a system of ultimate authority relegates the AP to ancillary significance, significance that derives solely from being a component in determining who earns a berth in the national championship game.
The Final AP and Coaches Poll have significance only to non-BCS schools. If one were to wind up #1 in either poll, then there would be legitimate reason to call for a split.

Good grief.
I'll amend my offer and give you full credit for 2003 IF your billboard says:
2003 National Champs and fourteen 5-or more loss seasons since '70.
Where do I send the check?

Well, that was uncalled for. No need to knock the whole history of their program just because some jackass is spending money on something pointless.

Does everyone remember in the show "Friends" how after he hooks up with the hot chick at the copy store, Ross uses the phrase "WE WERE ON A BREAK" for, like, the next six seasons straight? He never lets it go, at all, ever, even though it's in the past and even Rachel has forgiven him?

Hey, when you win a championship twice every hundred years, you can understand their desire not to share one. What's disgusting is that there are a bunch of idiots for whom this perceived slight trumps all sense of normalcy and decency. I'm sure these people pass hurricane victims daily in the streets of Baton Rouge who have resorted to panhandling to try to survive and don't look twice at them, but they're willing to drop a C-note to post a billboard in another city MAKING FUN of the fact that USC didn't end up winning three national titles in a row. It's so pathetic it's almost funny. Almost.

That's what I don't get and actually bothers me about this. You want to throw up a sign on your campus, fine. But from what I understand, they want (or wanted) to put it up in LA!
Guys, it's from 2+ seasons ago. Time to move on.
Thanks for the comment.
- January 13, 2006 12:05 PM
Hey, Anonymous, why don't you go look at the BCS website and see that even the BCS recognizes that there were two national champions in 2003. Scroll down to 2003 after you click here, and this is what you will find:
For the only time since the BCS was formed, there is a split national champion. LSU finishes atop the coaches' poll by beating Oklahoma in the Sugar Bowl in a pairing of the top two teams in the BCS Standings. USC, ranked first in both polls on Bowl Selection Sunday, is left out of the BCS championship game when the Trojans finish third in the BCS standings. But USC wins the Associated Press' championship after beating Michigan in the Rose Bowl. Oklahoma, which spent the season as the top-ranked team in both polls, earns a spot in the Sugar Bowl by finishing first in the final BCS Standings even though the Sooners lose to Kansas State in the Big 12 championship game. LSU, the SEC champion, edges USC for second place in the final BCS Standings to advance to the Sugar Bowl.
Don't shoot the messenger, but even after the ironclad contract that every conference commissioner signed, the BCS recognizes that they are not the sole arbiter of determining national champions.

Trojan Russ, great post. It'd be one thing if the guy did his Photoshop of the billboard and sent it around the Web. Then it's kind of funny. But to actually go out and raise money for this frivolous act is sickening. We all spend money on frivolous things. But to raise money on something like this is really gross.

Sorry to burst your bubble anonymous, but there's nothing official about the BCS. It's a contract between conferences and bowls but there's no NCAA control to it at all other than the NCAA certifies the bowls. The contract doesn't even include everyone.
Speaking as a Cornhusker fan, while we obviously take claim to the '97 championship, i don't know of anyone who objects to the fact that Michigan does as well. We're sure not going to spend 10 cents let alone ten thousand dollars on a campaign against Michigan.
The National Championship is still mythical. Unless you do it boxing style (shameless plug for my site www.heavyweightfootballchamps.com)
- January 13, 2006 3:29 PM
I can't remember what bowl game Michigan was in this year? Oh yeah, i got it, it was the Mastercard Alamo Bowl. EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW! And what's that sound, it's Michigan blowing away a 11 point 4th quarter lead. At least USC made it to a January, and National title game. On our way to the number one recruiting class for the third straight year! FIGHT ON!
- January 13, 2006 4:43 PM
It's not about sharing a title, if that is even possible in the BCS era, but the fact that certain media outlets made out like USC was the ONLY champion in the last 2 years. Why complain it is dwelling on the past when obviously it ESPN IS doing just that with the three-peat talk before the Rose Bowl...and even forgetting part of it.
Unless you are a Trojan fan you had to be sick of all of the "special reports" on who was the best team of all time. The Longhorns proved that it takes defense to win games also and they hung 41 on USC's.

I'll frickin' settle this once and for all ...
In '03, LSU beat the runner up in the Big 12. Whatever.
USC beat the Big Ten Champ. Happened to be Michigan. This is THE Michigan Football Forum.
Also, USC's cheerleaders are so much hotter than LSU's. So ... they win.
- January 13, 2006 5:37 PM
Hotter cheerleaders? No way dude. Plus girls in the south are EASY!!!
- January 13, 2006 5:49 PM
- Wangs said...
Allright. I'll hold my vote pending further review.
Send a picture of a REAL LSU cheerleader. Or even a real LSU coed.
I'm not sure I've ever seen an LSU coed.
Easy? Not sure that means good. Michigan coeds are easy, but ... that's just cause they aren't as hot as USC coeds.
So ... you get my vote if you send a photo of a hot LSU cheerleader, or coed, or fan, or Mary Landrieu.
Yost will tell you how.
- January 13, 2006 5:58 PM
While USC fans appeal to a WEBPAGE, we use the BCS Contract that all BCS teams agreed to. If that isn't legitimacy and the measuring rod for the true champion, what is?
Don't agree to a system and then trash it because it doesn't give you the results you want.
- January 13, 2006 11:16 PM
LSU 2005 SEC AP champions by virtue of finishing higher in a poll. forget what happened in the actual championship game. LSU #6, Bama #8, UGA #10
USC the only team to ever win a NC in any sport without playing in that sports NC game. congrats.

There's been no other team to be declared National Champion, in the history of football, without playing in a National Championship game? Interesting...
Guess that sums up this guy's skills in logic
- January 14, 2006 3:36 PM
Doesn't matter if it was set up by a Bruin because if you go to any LSU message board, they've all kicked in money to see that this gets done, making my point in my first post in this thread.
There are no NCAA national champions in football, Anonymous (effing pussy), because football does not have an NCAA sanctioned playoff, hence there has never been a true national championship game for 1A football.
- January 14, 2006 3:40 PM
- Yost said...
True, which in my eyes is the beauty of the college game and the reason we're still "debating" the 2003 season.
But to raise 10K to "prove" something that is mythical to begin with is, well, crazy. Anon doesn't realize that you can't prove smack talk.

I live in Baton Rouge and I'm an LSU Alum. We have all given our tears, time and money to the rebuilding of our great State. The funds being raised for this billboard started with a LSU Alumnus in Dallas. I think it's a great idea because it was painful to hear over and over again about a 3-peat. All of us as college fans have to belief 100% in the BCS system until there's a better system. I'm just glad I wasn't an Auburn fan last year.

If it's painful to hear all the 3-peat talk, that's more a commentary on your own sense of perspective as well as on your own self esteem. If you invest that much emotion into this matter that it hurts to have another team's accomplishments recognized or touted, the problem is with you.
And I don't get the reasoning that we have to be 100% behind this system. In fact, I could easily take the opposite stance, that you are a true fan and the system is flawed and possibly hurting college football, then you should be 100% against the system.
- January 20, 2006 1:12 PM
I would like to throw my two cents into this argument. First of all I am an LSU grad and present LSU law student. Some LSU fans feel very strongly about the split title but really this billboard thing is all in good fun. It's college football rivalry gone mad. Plus, it is very fun to debate. As I see it, here is the main issue involved here: "In the BCS era, does the #1 team in the final AP poll have a valid claim to the national championsip based solely upon their ranking in that poll?"
It is my belief that the #1 team in the final AP poll does not have a valid claim to the national championship based solely upon that ranking. Of course this is only true for the BCS era. If they did however, I would say that it is certainly less of an "official" campionship. If we were to go back, before the 2003 controversy erupted, and ask any college football fan how we crowned a national champion, they would say that the winner of the BCS would be the champion. Nobody would have said either the BCS winner OR the AP poll winner.
While it is true that a BCS title game may not bring us a controversy free champion, it is the system we have in place. It may not be a playoff but it is certainly better than the old system. Basically, the argument I hear from those who say USC had a valid share of the 2003 title is that since the AP never agreed to the BCS, that they are free to name their own champion. Please, correct me if I am wrong, but that is what I hear. They would be right in their argument as well, but whether the AP agreed to anything or not does not matter. What matters is what the participants of college football, the conferences, agreed to. After all if you are going to play a game you establish the rules with the other players, not the spectators. So the AP can name their own champion but it is not the one the conferences have officially recognized. The difference between the BCS system and every poll that has ever existed is that the BCS was the first and only system that all the major conferences ever collectively and officially agreed to recognize as a national champion selector. That does not make the BCS perfect, it does not make it a playoff, but it does make it something more "official" than any other system we have had.
Further, there are those that would argue that the contract between the BCS and the conferences never specifically excluded the AP poll as a selector, therefore it is valid. I personally think this is the type of argument that is made on playgrounds throughout our country. That is saying, well, since we never said we couldn't do it, it makes it ok. Besides that though, to say that the AP poll is still valid as a national champion selector because it was never specifically excluded is an illogical argument. This is because the nature of a "champion" is a singular nature. The inclusion of one selector (BCS) necessarilly excludes any and all others (AP). The idea of a split title runs counter to the concept of a "champion." The term co-champion is really an oxymoron. When the conferences signed up with the BCS, all other national champion selectors became invalid. Logically you do not need nor can you have multiple ways to select a national champion. That is why the agreement did not need to specifically exclude the AP and it also did not need to declare the BCS the "only" selector. Please let me know if I am wrong.

First off, great comments. That's the sort of intelligent debate we appreciate here.
Here's my point as an outside observer and, I believe, that of many SC fans.
SC only won the AP title that year b/c the Coaches were FORCED to vote for the winner of the OK/LSU Sugar Bowl. Remember, SC wasn't just #1 in the AP poll, they were #1 in BOTH polls heading into the bowl games.
In fact, if you recall, the BCS changed its rules to prevent what happened in '03 from ever happening again -- namely the #1 team (in that case SC in both polls) being left out of the BCS game.
Thus, I think it's only fair and nobody really loses to say it was a split title that year. Nothing wrong and no shame for either side.
- January 22, 2006 1:42 AM
But that is just the thing, I think it is completely unfair to allow a split title that year. It is not just unfair to LSU, but it is also unfair to Auburn of last year, or Oregon in 2001, as well as any teams in the future that have a similar situation to that of Auburn or Oregon. Yes I understand that USC was different in that they were #1 in the human polls at the end of the season. However, why were they #1 in 2003? It was because they lost two weeks before LSU. Reverse that and at the end of the season LSU is #1. Everybody knows that is how the polls work. The earlier you lose, the better. Is that fair though? Is it fair that Auburn did not get in just because they began the season with a worse ranking? I don't think either of those things are fair, and I certainly don't think it is fair USC got left out of the Sugar Bowl. You see, my point is, in sports, any given rule may or not be fair in and of itself. However, rules achieve their fairness through their equal application. A rule may be completely unfair but if everybody agrees to it and it is applied equally, then the playing field is level and fairness is achieved. To give any team special treatment or unequal application of the rules is the one of the most unfair things to do in sports. It serves a great injustice to the teams that are not given special treatment. It is much more unfair to apply the rules unequally then to apply an unfair rule equally. At least everybody agreed to the unfair rule before-hand. If you do not like the rules then you can change them once the season is over. However, once you decide on a set of rules you stick with them and see them ought. You cannot change them on the fly or retroactively. Changing them on the fly is what happened in 2003. That is why I believe, the fairest thing to do is actually deny USC a share of the title. It is simply the equal application of the rules.
- January 22, 2006 3:13 PM
Hey LSU.
You didn't even win one/half of a mythical NC.
The BCS is what got in the way of USC winning the MNC outright from both the coaches and the writers. That's the ESPN/USA today coaches poll and the Assosiated Press witers Poll. If you had not lucked into a bowl game that *required* the coaches to vote you number one then you would have nothing at all... everyone who matters knew USC was the best team in the nation. You should feel lucky to even get a taste of the pie, let alone half of it.
- January 23, 2006 11:11 AM
Ok...the last poster is a idiot.
All evidence shows that LSU was the better team of the two. Just because USC was good in 2004 and 2005 doesn't mean they were good enough in 2003 (and I personally question the validity of that number one ranking: USC and LSU were seperated by a mere 15 points out of 1600 on the AP poll prebowl. But somehow, USC's win against a lower ranked team seemed more impressive than LSU's game against a higer ranked one so as to widen that game by a considerable margin. Something smells personal and political in there). However, we simply will never know for sure. Bitch and moan about the BCS all you want...thats up to you. It its not like their school threatened to the members of the Coach's poll to vote for LSU at the end. An agreement was signed by that poll and all the members of the BCS conferences to accept the BCS national champion as the national champion. Such was the rules preseason. Rules that USC apparently didn't have any trouble with in 2004. (Although to his credit, Carroll did publically denounce the BCS in '04).
If you think their can only be one rightful champion in the age of the BCS or not doesn't matter: LSU has one title one way or another, and obviously they aren't lucky because they missed out on the chance of trying to prove on the field that they were the best.
- January 24, 2006 11:55 PM
I was planning on staying out of this until this idiot showed up:
"LSU 2005 SEC AP champions by virtue of finishing higher in a poll. forget what happened in the actual championship game. LSU #6, Bama #8, UGA #10"
Um, I'm sorry, but didn't we kick the crap out of LSWHO in the SECCG this year? The Dawgs proved who the real champs were this year. I'm sure they do want to forget what happened. Granted, they were good in '03 - they scorched my Dawgs in the SECCG that year, and we were pretty darn good. But fact is, they split the NC that year. No amount of crying (2 years later? Still?) is going to change that. I guess they call 'em coonasses for a reason...?
- January 31, 2006 7:57 PM
Uh...your wrong I am a dedicated USC fan but I know that USC is not, rather was not, the National Champion in 2003. The BCS was decided well before the season that it would be the deciding factor for declaring the National Championship team. The decided that team was LSU. AP declared USC the champions, but the AP only makes 1/8 of the all around desicion.
- February 03, 2006 6:45 PM
Oh and also if you read anything from the onepeat website or in any newspaper than you'll know that the LSU fan is putting up the billboard because of the whole 3peat thing that ESPN and other media markets were saying even before they played the game vs. Texas, not solely because of the split national title.

Politicians still love kissing babies
In the long list of factors that affects how the public votes, a politician's baby likability rating comes in second, right after hairstyle. Ok, maybe not, but it's still a lot of fun to compare photos of politicians with babies.

Good luck.

The press is on for cider production in Henderson County. Several local entrepreneurs plan to ferment county apples into hard cider for a thirsty buying public, while other area apple growers look forward to sourcing their crop to a growing craft beverage market.
The press is on for cider production in Henderson County. Several local entrepreneurs plan to ferment county apples into hard cider for a thirsty buying public, while other area apple growers look forward to sourcing their crop to a growing craft beverage market.
One local winery, Saint Paul Mountain Vineyard on Chestnut Gap Road, has already produced 1,000 gallons of fermented cider, using apples pressed by local farmer Wayne Barnwell. They plan to increase production to 3,000 gallons next year and hope other county growers will follow their lead, said owner Alan Ward.
"There's a lot of potential for people to not just jump in on the gold rush, but to make this area like Vermont, where hard ciders are made correctly," said Ward, who sees cider-making as an important piece Henderson County's agritourism future.
As Saint Paul begins bottling their debut batch next weekend, other local growers are investigating their own hard cider operations, looking to tap into a ripening market for adult craft beverages partly brought on by Sierra Nevada and Oskar Blues brewery expansions.
Mark Williams, executive director of Agribusiness Henderson County, said he's advised a number of county farmers interested in adding value to their crop by turning it into hard cider.
"I've helped with the initial process to get folks off and running," Williams said. "We may see two (cider producers) this coming year, and over the next couple of years, we might see potentially as many as half a dozen — some larger, some smaller. There's a learning curve there, as people pursue a new product line."
Ralph Webster of Freeman Orchards said his family is considering adding a hard cider operation to their bustling apple orchard, cooler and retail/wholesale business, but has "no formal plans yet." Webster said a test batch of hard cider they produced turned out "pretty fair."
"It would just give us another avenue for our fruit, if that's what we decide on doing," he said.
A new company in Asheville, Noble Cider, is already sourcing its apples from county orchards. Co-owner Trevor Baker said the company bought 640 bushels of Henderson County apples last year, producing 2,000 gallons of its kegged Summer Blend. They hope to increase their yield five-fold this year, to 10,000 gallons.
Baker said he's "committed to buying from Henderson County," adding he'll need about 150 to 200 bins of processing apples this year. While last spring's crop failure made sourcing difficult, Baker said the company scrounged up enough Mutsu Crispins, Pink Ladies and four other varieties to press a good inaugural run at its small Fletcher facility.
"People are really loving it," Baker said, adding that the company can barely keep its seven outlets supplied with enough cider to meet demand.
This year, he's hoping to find more GoldRush apples, "which has a good balance of acid and sugar and has really good flavor characteristics that transfer well into hard cider." But he also hopes to develop local sources for heirloom apple varieties not commonly grown for eating or baking, but perfect for cider: Arkansas Blacks, Newtown Pippins and Golden Russets among them.
"The things we lack around here are the higher-tannin fruits," Baker said. "There's no one growing hard cider apples in any quantity here. So that's one dilemma we have."
Baker, who studied cider-making under British guru Peter Mitchell, is working with Henderson County extension agents to remedy that supply issue. After meeting with the board of the Blue Ridge Apple Growers this spring, Baker and County Extension Director Marvin Owings Jr. brainstormed a plan to grow cider varieties for future years' supplies.
Owings said the plan is to plant heirloom cider varieties this winter on a 2-acre research plot behind Staton Farms' cooler in Flat Rock, aiming to produce fruit within three years. Those apples can then be blended with existing varieties that are sweeter, which Owings said is "the key to coming up with the best flavor."
"Cider has a lot of growth potential," Owings said. "I know of three commercial growers that are doing this in a small way, testing it, already. I would say there's plenty of room for expansion."

Aaron Hernandez indicted in connection with 2012 double murder
Aaron Hernandez, already in prison in connection with a 2013 homicide, has been indicted in connection with the shooting deaths of two men in Boston in 2012, multiple Boston-area media outlets reported Thursday. A Suffolk County grand jury returned an indictment on two counts of first-degree murder in the unsolved case.
Hernandez, a former New England Patriot, has been indicted in connection with the deaths of Daniel Jorge Correia de Abreu and Safiro Teixeira Furtado, who were killed in a driveby shootout on a Boston street on July 16, 2012.
Both Hernandez and the victims were present at the Boston nightclub Cure at the same time, according to court documents. The victims and Hernandez left the club at roughly the same time. Security cameras show Hernandez and an associate driving a Toyota 4Runner out of a nearby garage; Hernandez was behind the wheel.
Shortly afterward, witnesses reported seeing an SUV with Rhode Island license plates stop next to the victims' car at a stoplight. Two witnesses indicated that someone inside the SUV opened fire on the victims' car, firing six shots.
Neither Abreu nor Furtado knew Hernandez, according to an eyewitness.
"They just came up and started firing for no reason at all," the alleged eyewitness said last year. "We never had any trouble. We were not those kind of people. We were just having fun. … Things happened so fast. I was trying to defend myself. They were shooting everywhere inside the car, front to back. They just came to kill. That's it."
"For us, this case was not about Aaron Hernandez," said Suffolk County District Attorney Daniel F. Conley. "This case was about two victims, who were stalked, ambushed, and senselessly murdered on the streets of the city they called home."
Hernandez will be arraigned on these new charges in the next week. Suffolk County officials, citing both a respect for the other murder case pending against Hernandez as well as Hernandez's own rights, declined to give significant specifics on this particular case until the arraignment.
According to David Frank, managing editor of Massachusetts Law Weekly, Hernandez is expected to enter a not guilty plea to the new indictment in Suffolk Superior Court. "It was hardly a secret that grand jury in Suffolk has been investigating Hernandez for the Boston homicide that resulted in new indictments," Frank wrote on Twitter.
Hernandez played the entire 2012 season after the deaths of Abreu and Furtado.
Hernandez is also awaiting trial in connection with the June 2013 death of Odin Lloyd. Hernandez has been charged with first-degree murder in the execution-style murder of Lloyd. Law enforcement sources indicated that Hernandez was allegedly concerned that Lloyd was going to talk about his knowledge of what happened in the 2012 murders. Most recently, Hernandez was indicted in connection with a jailhouse fight in February.

The Sigma Beauty Brush Spa Glove.
|They're available in four different colors: Black, Pink, Purple, and Aqua.
So this product is awesome because it was made with the brush cleaning process in mind. We've all swirled brush after brush in the palm of our hands, wasting soap and time in the process. This glove is awesome because when you use this to clean your brushes, it's got 6 unique cleaning textures on different areas of the brush where you would naturally wash, rinse, and refine the brushes. The nubs on the brush create a great lather so you don't have to use as much brush cleanser, which is a huge plus for me.
|*Don't miss my brush cleaning demo/review video at the bottom of the post!
Even more unique about this product is that one side is specially designed for face brushes...
...and the other for eye brushes.
It's also got a comfortable inner lining for comfort.
So I've been using mine for a while now and I can safely say that I will never be caught washing my brushes bare-handed again. Oh and did I mention you don't even have to get your hands wet? Kind of awesome.
The Brush Spa Glove is available today HERE
Save 10% through April 30, 2013 with code "AAM2013"
Check out my full review video below and see mine in action in my new brush cleaning demo!

The new intellectual property policy, which takes effect on January 16, comes three months after Facebook completed its acquisition of the popular photo-sharing site. Unless Instagram users delete their accounts before the January deadline, they cannot opt out.Think the outcry is enough to change this? Facebook must monetize all that traffic it's acquired. Remember that Facebook paid a billion dollars for Instagram.
Under the new policy, Facebook claims the perpetual right to license all public Instagram photos to companies or any other organization, including for advertising purposes, which would effectively transform the Web site into the world's largest stock photo agency.
AND: May you ought to quit gramming because it's so annoying, as explained here:
"Look at this Instagram: eggs benedict, side of ham.... Drinking mai tais on a cruise/just a coincidence it's also boobs..."
