Hazing isnt necessarily the evil deed that the powers that be at Northwestern are making it. Of course, like everything else, there are degrees. Sodomizing a freshman with a broomstick handle in the back of the bus on the way home from a game? Bad, very bad. Forcing people to drink fifths of liquor? Dumb.
Freshmen prancing around in their underwear and knee high socks (which were a nice touch, by the way) while chugging beer? Good ole all-American fun.
I understand that Northwestern wants to present the image of it being stern and just, but suspending the season because the team had a little fun is absurd. They were enjoying themselves and nobody was hurt, and have been quoted saying as much. I see a lot of smiles in those pics. (But then, I'd be smiling too if I was there.)
I mean, what about this photo doesn't scream, "Hell, Yeah"?
Or this one?
The only shocker here is that Kyle Orton didn't appear in these pics. Wasted.
All I know is that I'm now officially a fan. To be honest, I have no idea how good the Northwestern girls have been, but I'm keeping tabs now. And if they win any titles, all I ask is that photos of the celebration party are provided.
