Breaking Fitzgerald out at NW

[Pipe Line]

The more I read into this the more it sounds like some locker room stuff that maybe offended a few guys. They told those stories to people who had never been in a locker room before and of course the media blew it out of proportion.

When I was in college, our starting center would wait, naked, in a 3 point stance. As soon as a freshman walked through the door he'd snap it to them. If they caught the snap, he'd jump up and down clapping for them and then give them a big, naked hug. So his fatness and dick are swing around in joy because you caught the ball and then he'd give you a big hug. Lol so dumb, but fucking funny.

To us, growing up in a locker room, that was just funny. If you've never experienced locker room behavior, it seems wildly inappropriate. This is what this feels like to me.

Now if they were fingering buttholes or something, then yeah that's weird even by locker room standards.

But I think a few ex players had a vendetta. I think Northwestern has a bunch of media students that want to be able to say they took down the mean old traditional, white head coach. And you have a new president and AD at the school who know they can't win the fight with the media.

It was pretty well known throughout high school that our Varsity football team did some weird stuff. Not hazing or anything, but just weird stuff that was considered messing around. It was just "yeah, that's the locker room". I didn't play football lol

How about a really simple rule: don’t touch people without their consent or make them do things to other people without their consent?

I believe that the majority of what we have heard about the "hazing" is probably true. I would take a middle ground, leaning more towards mostly true than mostly made up on this stuff. Quite possible there was some embellishment, but I believe for the most part a lot of this had been happening for a long time there.

I also think that Fitz knew - at least knew there were hazing scenarios going on, maybe didn't know the "details", but even then I bet he knew more than he would ever admit. If there were actually dryboards in the locker room with names and different hazing items on it, no way Fitz or other coaches didn't know about it.

For the record, I never saw anything like this at UNL. My frosh year of high school the seniors tried to haze us. It had rained and there was a big mud puddle - probaby 20 feet by 20 feet - full of water/mud. The seniors broke some glass bottles and threw the shards into the mud puddles then told the freshmen we had to run full speed towards it and slide through it. I refused, and was willing to throw punches if needed. Some other freshman did not refuse and bowed to the pressure. A couple of them had pretty good cuts on their legs from the glass, one kid had to get stitches.

I had some asshole coaches my first couple of years in high school who allowed and supported this stuff. Similar hazing stuff happened for basketball, which I again refused to do. A couple of the seniors in the basketball team stood up for me and even went to the head coach. The coaches were the same for basketball and football, just flip flopped who was the head coach and who was the assistant. The coaches weren't going to do anything about the hazing, but those two seniors who stood up for me, then other frosh, told the coaches they would quit if they didn't put a stop to it. So the coaches reluctantly told the upperclassmen no more hazing.

Ima be honest, the glass thing sounds a tad bit illegal lol

[DuckSker]

But I thought I was supposed to let dudes in purge masks dry hump me and that it was normal according to duckbuck?

Who said anything about letting? You guys act like they held these 1% ers at gunpoint

 

[DuckSker]

Glad you promote sexual assault. Hope you dont have kids in school cause by your logic its okay if its happening for a while and the 1% should just "bend over"

Teach your kids to stand up for themselves or fight back, pussy.

My old man would have laughed at me if i told him i was getting bullied or hazed

Yeah, the glass thing was bad. There was already a bunch of gravel in the puddle, then to break some glass bottles and throw the shards into the puddle... hell no. I wasn't going to do it in the first place, then after the glass shards it was no fucking way. I told the other guys NOT to do it, but several of them did. We were freshmen and had the upper classmen trying to force us to do it, or get beat up. I was ready to throw punches, and already had a rep of a kid not to mess with, so I just refused and none of the upperclassmen pushed it with me much. The same two seniors who backed me in the basketball hazing were not supportive of the football hazing, FWIW.

The kid who had to go to the hospital for stitches... the coaches were scared of getting in trouble from that, and they should have gotten in trouble. This was back in the 80's, so nothing happened. If it was today, those coaches would be fired and lawsuits against the school would have happened I believe. The parents of the two kids who got leg cuts were not happy, but nothing happened over the issue.

I think @Ducksker (aka Kitty) is just really into the idea of a bunch of dudes having sex. Especially if there's a male authority figure telling him he has to. He seems really upset the boys don't get to have their fun anymore.

World was a lot better place when you could bully and haze! How many school shooting ls happened back then?

You libtards are so soft

C'mon man, this is D-level trolling at best. You can do better.

 

[Frogsker30]

wow, such strong men here. You can teach your kid to fight back. But also teach them that sexual assault is cool either.

Just cause this shit happened in the 80 to you doesn't mean it should happen now, it was still illegal. Rubbing your dick on someone is such a cool activity.

 

[Jim14510]

If somebody asked me to run past a wall of dicks as a hazing ritual I would first ask them to call @Jim14510 because he would enjoy it but after that I would tell campus security.

Hazing of any kind is just stupid.

You'd probably report it to campus security because they made you run. You wanted to crawl.

Myself, I wouldn't have done it, but probably would have just blended in with the group or just quietly walked away lol I wasn't one to throw punches 15 years ago. My select baseball HC, 9-14, would honestly not be able to coach in today's world. He was hard on us and had some tension with other teams and organizations, but he was fantastic and we still have beers with him from time to time 15-20 years later.

Yes please gawd let this happen. Would be fucking hilarious.

 

[Toe]

Yeah, let's replace a guy who did nothing about hazing with a guy who did nothing about a rape that was reported to him!
