The interwebs are abuzz regarding a win by the University of Arkansas’ own Zeta Tau Alpha sorority in a recent step competition in Atlanta called the “Sprite Step off”.
“Step” is a historically black art form, and members of the Zetas team are white. After the Zetas won the competition, they were booed (despite nearly beinging down the house with applause during their performance) and, in the days that followed, chastized on the internet.
And, so, citing an unnamed “scoring discrepancy”, Coke has buckled under and awarded 2 first place prizes ($100k in scholies for each sorority). This is CYA 101. You are telling me that the judges did anything other than check their scores 100 quadrillion times before having rapper Ludacris announce the championship going to an all-white team in front of an already agitated crowd of black folks in the Atl.?
Now THAT’S ludicrious.

More Proof That The Mississippi Coach is
Posted by Adam Butler on March 1, 2010
I bet the “Mississippi Whatever Their New Mascot Is”es run the WildHog/Rebel/Cat 157% of the time this year.
The best part? The Mississippi Coach destroyed every QB he has ever recruited Jevan Snead and then told Snead (after Jevvie took him to the Mississippi Coach’s apex–The Cotton Bowl) he would have to fight for his position if he returned.
I wonder if he was going to move him to tight end like he moved Ryan Mallett.
