This story rubs me the wrong way

File this under the heading: "Things Funnier Than Stuff I Make Up." According to the Penn State Daily Collegian
Penn State Police confirmed today that they have filed charges against Nittany Lions basketball player Stanley Pringle in an incident involving public masturbation that occurred last Thursday in Pattee Library.

Police said Pringle, the team's point guard, sat behind the victim in the stacks section of the library, attempted to start a conversation with the woman and began masturbating.
Well...that's certainly one way to meet women...at the library. Obviously, this is a story that's way, way, way into DeadSpin's wheelhouse. The comments are a complete riot; however, the language (predictably and deservedly) gets rather salty.

I personally think that this speaks volumes about the quality of student life in Happy Valley. More accurately, this speaks to the problems of student-athlete life. What sort of self respecting hoopster gets arrested in a library? Much less for taking care of his own business.

I weep for PSU.

To paraphrase Rodney Dangerfield in "Back to School"...

"He needed help with his Longfellow."

What really gets me is the library part. Maybe Jim Delany has a point about the academic differences between the SEC and the Big 10.

I mean at least our athletes have time to...ya know...make it happen. Hell, they can be a walk-on down here and find about 5-6 girls that will make it happen for them.

Poor fella. He needs to add "Pride" to his Facebook friends.

As a former employee of the UGA library, he ain't the only one gettin his jolly's off in a college library. Homeless people were always doing their business in the stacks. Please don't let your daughters or girlfriends go there alone. (Public Service Announcement)

Someone sent me a link to this story yesterday. The link was from perezhilton.com (that guy breaks that news?), and I also got to read about Posh Spice, Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohan. Did you know that Jessica Simpson has her eye on Stafford? Something she has for quarterbacks, but we might be in trouble this fall. . .
