Midweek Mierda: Statue Edition
May 14 2008 05:36 PM -- Filed in: Football
We all know the economy is tightening up. As a
result, those little side projects we have wanted to
tackle for a while keep getting pushed to the side.
Repair the deck? Hopefully, next month. Finish that
Buckeye-themed basement with scarlet and gray shag
carpet? Maybe, next season. Put 20s on our 1986
OldsmoBuick? We can only dream.
It seems tough economic times have come to the Ohio State Undergraduate Student Government (USG). In fact, times are so bad they have had to shelve an approved plan to build a statue of Woody Hayes. Despite the monetary pressures felt nationwide, some outrage is being voiced and demands for the statue made.
Perhaps we should follow President Bush’s cue and use his tax rebate to stimulate the statue building economy in Columbus? Just think, we could take half of that hefty check and pay off our student loans and donate the other half to the Woody Hayes Statue Fund (or, an actual, worthwhile charity – your choice, really).
In more scantily clad news, Playboy Magazine has selected its All American team and the gathering took place in Phoenix last weekend. It is, without question, the least exciting “photo shoot” in that magazine, year after year. Not surprisingly, the Dispatch has not covered this story, but plenty of other papers have so we have some details (and one photo – work safe).
No word on other Buckeyes selected by Hef (he chooses them, right?), but this is Laurinaitis second consecutive selection. Other likely All Americans include Wells, Jenkins, and Boone has an outside shot.
We have our sources snooping around the Mansion, as we speak, trying to gather more details. (Damnit, we should have taken that assignment ourselves.) The All-American team will be in the magazine’s September issue, which hits newsstands around Aug. 15.
