KRIV, the Houston Fox affiliate, leads their 9 PM news tonight with allegations that both Rice and U of Houston use strippers in their recruitment of high school athletes.
NEWSFLASH!! Guys really love strippers!!! Would it be better if they used coeds? All of those who didn't want to see naked girls when they were seniors in high school,raise your hand.
Friend of mine here in Austin went to Texas and worked as a bouncer at The Yellow Rose a few years ago and said that recruits being brought in was quite common.
In particular, Vincent Young came in on a recruiting visit, and the manager gathered up all the dancers and told them "I don't want that kid to leave until I see his teeth sweat"
Virtually every college recruiting trip will have recruits either:
1) Taken to a strip club
2) Have stripers come to a private party
3) Be introduced to fast women who like to hang around football players
The only way a recruit is not exposed to this is if the recruiting coach gets the feeling while getting to know a kid that he will find such activities morally (read- spiritually) wrong.
I took recruiting trips to Texas A&M, Alabama, Rice, and Cornell- at Rice and Alabama I was taken to a strip club (I was 17), and at Texas A&M and Cornell I was introduced to the above referenced fast women.
It happens everywhere- except maybe the service academies.
God Bless John Wayne
Few things are more depressing than a stripper with no self-confidence.
"you have to play this game with fear and arrogance"
Someone needs to write a letter to Bill and ask him to quit pumping all the money into new and improved facilities. We need to start putting all that money into the dirty sock. That's the only way we're going to get these blue chippers.
I smell a good thesis project for whatever major that would count for. Determine the correlation of football promincence to strip clubs.
Everyone loves strip clubs. Those that don't are just saying that to be different. I remember when Fantasy South in Houston was 17 and up. We made the 30 minute drive North, and we got hustled the whole way in. First it was parking. Asked the parking guys how much it was to get in and that amount rose 10 bucks when we got to the door and they saw the we were 17.
Nothing like being 17 smoking a swisher sweet watching all nude women thinking you're the baddest dude in the world. If only the dudes next to us would give us a beer we would have had it made.
The reference my friend made to the lap dance being like basketballs hitting you in the face did not fall short when I made my way to the back room.
