Fresno State Earns Stunning NCAA Title

In Stunning Victory Fresno State Wins The College World Series

Steve Susdorf brandished the championship trophy and Kris Tomlinson held a bag of ice to the left eye socket he had bruised moments earlier in a celebratory dog pile. Their Fresno State teammates wandered through a crowd of players, coaches, friends and family in front of the first-base dugout, looking for people to hug.

Four weeks after they scraped into the NCAA tournament, seeded fourth and last in their regional pod, the Bulldogs were perhaps the most unlikely champions in college baseball history, and no one could stop smiling. [uwire]

University of Minnesota Denies Victoria’s Secret

Don’t expect to see Goldy Gopher on Victoria’s Secret merchandise anytime soon.

University of Minnesota officials have notified its licensing agency that they do not want their mascot associated with Victoria’s Secret PINK Collegiate Collection.

“We are not making a judgment in regards to Victoria’s Secret,” said University spokesman Dan Wolter. “We just don’t feel it is in our institution’s best interest right now.” [Star Tribune]

Despite Poor Economy, Coaches Still Making Bank

Despite Poor Economy, Coaches Still Making Bank

Gas is $4 a gallon—and rising. The economy is struggling. Some believe the worst is yet to come.

But you can’t tell it by college football coaches’ salaries. They’re breaking the bank.

In 1995, Bobby Bowden became the first $1 million coach in college football. Now, the average salary for head coaches at major college football programs exceeds $1 million a year. [Tennessean]

Girls Love to Flaunt Drunken Madness on Facebook

drunk college girls

Here is my response to the UK’s Daily Mail article titled “The ladettes who glorify their shameful drunken antics on Facebook”:

“Drunken antics” points out how Facebook is being used as a tool for girls to flaunt how drunk and wild they get in college. I know this sounds like an oxymoron; but just look at the Facebook group “30 Reasons Girls Should Call It A Night” for proof.

Over 157,000+ skanky members and growing by the minute.

What I expected to be an article featuring telling photographic proof of the graphic “gone wild” antics of college girls turned out to be a PG-censored fest. Very disappointing!

At first I assumed that I was the only person who felt they were duped into clicking the story by an eye-catching, NSFW-esque title, but apparently I wasn’t - just look at the disgruntled Digg comment board for the story!

To help everyone better understand the drunken antics of today’s college girls I have compiled a series of seven galleries, each representing seven different major US colleges.

***All pictures were taken from Facebook, thus proving there is indeed drunken madness going down 24/7 on college campuses…and girls love to flaunt it on Facebook!***

CO-ED Interviews Al Franken

 

 

al franken‘I don’t speak at as many colleges as I wish I could,’ admits Al Franken, just a few hours after taping his radio show for Air America (conveniently titled The Al Franken Show). Maybe it’s because the left-wing maverick is kind of busy these days. He’s speaking at congressional forums on media bias; hosting and writing a radio show, as well as its companion TV show on the Sundance Channel; writing bestselling books (a new one, as yet untitled, is due this fall); and exploring the possibility of running in the 2008 Senate race. But the Minnesota native did have time to talk to CO-ED about his college days and how to truly make a political difference … both at your school and in the world. Read More »
