Middle School Cancels Football Season After Hazing Allegations - Middle school hazing? No details have come out on what exactly was done, but officials at Memorial Middle School in Laconia, NH say the incidents happened over four weeks in an unsupervised locker room. Whatever happened behind those closed doors, it was bad enough to force the school to act quickly and cancel the final two games of the season. Said one concerned parent, "They say they didn't mean to do it. How could you not mean to do something that disturbing and then get everybody else to follow?" Good question. We're thinking the dreaded "rear admiral" has resurfaced as the popular hazing technique. Be afraid, be very afraid! (WMUR)

HS Girl Body Paint Update: Manatee Principal Did It to Protect Their Boobies! - Well, it took a few days but we finally have gotten to the real reason why Manatee Principal Robert Gagnon pulled two girls, Jessyca Altenbach and Monica Cummings, out of the stands last Friday night and told them to cover up or leave. Why? The pair had only body paint and bikini tops on at the football game (just like a number of their male counterparts) and Gagnon now claims he booted them to protect their modesty. No, seriously, apparently young ladies walking around in a crowd with bikini tops on could somehow lose them and then they would be topless and then all hell would break lose. (Another article claims a rumor spread through the stands that the girls were actually topless except for the body paint.) According to Gagnon, allowing bikinis at the game would have set the school up for other problems, like having to decide when it's too small or how to protect bikini-wearing girls as they jostle through the throngs of people who attend games. "That's the last thing I want to do, is put a kid in a bikini walking through a crowd," Gagnon said. Yeah, there are never any crowds at say, the beach or a swimming pool, are there?

Little League Coach Beaten by Dad and His Brother For Benching Foul-Mouthed 11-Year-Old Player - Long Island Little League coach James Edge thought he was doing the right thing when he benched a young player who repeatedly cursed during batting practice. Wrong! The upset boy then called his father Frank Basile, 48, (mug shot, right, with obligatory poofy hair) who soon arrived at the ballpark with his brother Roger Basile, 43, and the stocky pair allegedly took turns beating up the coach in front of his players. Said Edge, "This lunatic father and brother came running out from the parking lot and viciously attacked me on the mound. I thought I was in the Twilight Zone. ... The kids were crying." The pummeling was severe enough to send the coach to the hospital. If the name Frank Basile sounds familiar to sports fans, he is best known around  town for the tag-team beating he and former New York Jet Mark Gastineau allegedly gave a fan at a restaurant in Island Park back in 1991. (NY Daily News) According to the NY Post, the bothers owned an infamous, "mobbed-up Long Island restaurant."

Thanks Dad! Father of HS Cheerleader Allegedly Threatens Girl's Coach When She's Not Named Squad Captain - Sometimes parents of jocks think they're helping when they are not. One good example: Luigi Lavorgna, 43, whose daughter is a cheerleader at North Branford High School in Connecticut. Luigi allegedly confronted cheerleading coach Jennifer Miller outside the school following a meeting involving Lavorgna’s 17-year-old daughter, Giovanna, who was upset about not being chosen as a captain for the cheerleading team. According to Coach Miller, Lavorgna said he would beat her up and "send people after (her)" and did so using all sorts of colorful language. And now dad has been charged with second-degree breach of peace for the alleged threats. Great. (New Haven Register)

Oh No You Didn't! College Hockey Players Suspended After Appearing in Blackface at Team Golf Outing - Just when you thought that college students couldn't get any dumber comes this story from Colorado Springs. According to the school officials, the Colorado College men's hockey team held their annual preseason golf outing back in September and decided to have a theme: each team at the outing was to represent a TV show . . . and four geniuses decided to do "Family Matters" which ran in the late 80's and early 90's and featured the annoying Urkel character. Of course, all the main characters on that show was African American and every one of the hockey players was white. What to do, what to do? Yep, you guessed it, the guys put on black face and went-a-golfin'. For some reason, the school's not happy with their little stunt and have suspended the quartet for what they're calling "inappropriate and offensive behavior." Kids, didn't we learn anything from the infamous "South of the Border" party earlier this year? (CBS 4)

HS Soccer Coach Fired for Using Obscenity During "Motivational" Halftime Speech: "You Wouldn't Care if That Team Went to Your House and F---ed Your Mother." - Well, it's no "Win one for the Gipper!" but soccer players at Hillsboro-Deering High School in New Hampshire won't soon forget the halftime speech given by now former coach Mike Dupont, 29. According to reports, Dupont addressed his team, which was losing, during halftime at a boys' varsity soccer game at Sanborn Regional High School. Coach Dupont claims he only wanted to fire up his players when he reportedly said something along the lines of "What do I have to do to piss you guys off? You wouldn't care if that team went to your house and f---ed your mother." Oops. One of the senior players was so offended he refused to take the field in the second half and later told his father who complained to High School Principal Chris "Why Did I Take This Job?" Elkington the next day. Dupont still teaches at the school but has been relived of his duties as assistant AD and boys soccer coach. (Concord Monitor)

UK Soccer Player Loses House Arrest Ankle Tether During Game - I can hardly imagine walking around with one of those things at home, much less trying to run around a soccer field with one. But apparently, striker Vincent Pericard of the UK figured out a way to do it and was so successful that the darned thing somehow slopped off after he scored a goal in a recent game. Of course, the device notified the cops, which lead to his re-arrest. Pericard was in originally in trouble with the law for falsely claiming he was not the driver of his speeding car.

Case of Female Soccer Coach Helps Define New Canadian Law - What exactly is "exploitation of a young person" by a authority figure? Many states now have laws that are meant to punish teachers or coaches to have sexual relationships with students who are technically above the age of consent . . . a loophole that has allowed several adults to escape prosecution in the past. Canada just came up with a new law along those same lines and it's getting its first real test in court this week in a case involving girls soccer coach Jillian Maureen Anderson. Anderson is accused of having an inappropriate relationship with a 15-year-old member of the team. The coach denies the charges, but had trouble explaining why she bought the young player a Razr cell phone and flowers for Valentine's Day. (Canada.com)

UNC Men's Rugby Team Update: School Says No Hazing, Just Violation of Alcohol Policy - Hazing charges have been dropped against the University of North Carolina men's rugby team, but they were put on probation after the school determined that underage drinking took place at team sponsored parties and social events.

Baylor Football Coach Arrested for . . . Urinating on a Bar? - What next, are you going to take a crap in someone's washing machine? For an employee at the world's largest Baptist university, Eric Schnupp, Baylor’s offensive line/tight ends guru sure knows how to party! According to police, Schnupp was at a bar in Waco called Scruffy Murphy’s around closing time as employees were moving customers out of the building. At that point, Schnupp, who had allegedly consumed a number of shots of hard liquor bought by other patrons, must have thought no one was watching him as he allegedly unzipped his fly and proceeded to relieve himself on the bar. He was wrong. Cops, who just happened to be at the bar on another call immediate cited Schnupp for disorderly conduct-reckless exposure. (KHOU) Thanks to Ed C. for the tip!

Can't Stop the Music! HS Marching Band Director Arrested Following Game After Cops Tell Him to Stop Playing and He Refuses - Yes, Mr. Super Band Director, you are the supreme commander when it comes to what goes on during band camp. In fact, for those 100 or so kids under your watch, you can do no wrong and your word is law . . . except when a cop tells you to do something. Then, you really should comply . . . especially when they ask you nicely several times. Here's what happened in Newport News, VA: More than 10,000 fans attended the big game last Friday between Phoebus High School and rival Hampton High School. Because of previous incidents of violence, more than 40 police officers were in attendance and were trying to get the fans to exit the stadium in an orderly fashion when several fights broke out. The officers tried to communicate with each other using their walkie-talkies but couldn't hear over the marching bands. Apparently in this part of Virginia, it's customary for the bands "duel" each other after the game, taking turns playing songs. According to police, the asked High's band director, Tory F. Smart FOUR TIMES to stop so they could hear and do their jobs. Instead, they arrested him on an obstruction charge and hauled him away in cuffs in front of the band and other fans. Of course, now the community is split over what should have done and if the cops over-reacted. (Daily Press)

WE HAVE PICTURES! Female Sports Fan Body Painting Controversy Update - Finally! Thanks to reader Ken R. who sent us a link to the photos of the "naughty girls" from Manatee High School girls, Jessyca Altenbach and Monica Cummings (both 17) who were kicked out of a recent HS football game for wearing body paint and bikini tops in support of their team. The got the boot even though boys with painted bodies were allowed to stay. Why? School policy says it's up to the principal to decide what is offensive and after some constipated fans complained about the girls (and not the similarly painted boys) he made the call. Your outta here! (Local 6 - Link includes video clip)

EARLIER: Latest Controversy on HS Campuses? Female Fans Wearing Body Paint to Games - Long the domain of fat guys and drunken frat boys, the idea of showing your school spirit by painting your chest in school colors (or to spell out a team name) has now spread not just to female football fans, but female football fans at the HIGH SCHOOL level. Que adults freaking out! A school district in Sandusky, Ohio claims they've ALWAYS banned body paint, and it's not just the recent appearance of gals in painted sports bras that has their undies in a bunch. According to Principal Dan "I Hate My Job" Poggiali, "Body painting has never been allowed. As long as I've been here we haven't allowed it. For this to become an issue now, it's puzzling." Meanwhile, down in Florida, two Manatee High School girls, 17-year-old Jessyca Altenbach and 17-year-old Monica Cummings, were asked to leave a recent game after they donned bikini tops with khaki shorts and painted their chests in the school colors of red and blue. A school district spokeswoman said their principal, Bob "No More Fun of Any Kind" Gagnon, thought the girls were "suggestive and offensive," and that "it gave the appearance of being very inappropriate." Not surprisingly, the girls feel there is a double standard when it comes to body painting a football game.

Excuse Me, But You Have Something Near Your Mouth: Female HS Softball Coach Accused of 18 Month Relationship with Student  - Officials for the Port Clinton City School system won't reveal the sex or age of the alleged victim, but can confirm that Erin Baker, 25, a former assistant coach for the schools' girls' basketball and softball teams has been charged with six counts of sexual battery after being accused of having an 18-month relationship with a student. The affair came to light after the alleged victim told a school guidance counselor. One odd point: in her mug shot, it does appear that Ms. Baker has a couple of marks (moles? some kind of piercings gone bad?) under her mouth. Any doctors out there want to weigh in on what those might be? (Toledo Blade)

"Honey, Be Sure to Wear Your Hooker Shoes to the Game Today!"
Ole Miss Fans, Upset With Official's Bad Call at End of Loss to Alabama, Pelt Field With Everything from Liquor Bottles to . . . a Pair of Red High Heeled Shoes? -  After their 27-24 loss to Alabama on Saturday at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium, Ole Miss officials will decide today whether to pursue asking the SEC to review a controversial reversal call by officials in the waning seconds of the game. It appeared that Ole Miss was on the brink of scoring after receiver Shay Hodge made a catch at the Alabama 4-yard line with 7 seconds remaining. But then, another official stepped in and--after a lengthy delay--somehow reversed the call, ending their chances of winning the game. Naturally, the Ole Miss fans didn't care for that call and began throwing items on the field including beer cups, liquor bottles and one pair of red, high heeled shoes. Sources tell BadJocks that campus cops plan on playing "Prince Charming" starting today and will be trying the pumps on every female student (and a few of the smaller, more effeminate males) in the student section Saturday until the find the culprit.

Five HS Football Players Suspended for Stripping Freshman & Taking Pictures With Cell Phone: Father of One of the Attackers Claims It Was "Team Ritual That Got Out of Hand" - The folks at Homer High School in Shreveport, LA are reeling from allegations that five of their varsity football players participated in some kind of hazing ritual that involved stripping a freshmen member of the team, holding him down and taking pictures of him with a cell phone. The father of one of the attackers claims this is all just a big misunderstanding and that the events described were just horseplay and "a football team ritual that got out of hand." (Can you say "denial?") For his part, the head coach was quick to deny that it was any kind of ritual and wanted to distance himself and the team from any talk of hazing as five boys were suspended.
