This is Allison Stokke, you might remember her story from about a year ago, but it is worth rehashing because of the sheer existence of this photo. She is a pole-vaulting star from California who received much unwanted attention on the internet after this exact photo was posted on some blog. Her Dad, also wasn’t helping to keep the attention minimal. So, why did I throw this up here now? Well, I was sitting in my living room a few days ago and looked over at my roommates computer that he had set on the coffee table and noticed the photo in question as his background. Remembering the story behind the photo, I asked him why he had that up there and his response was, “I don’t know, some pole-vaulter and she’s banging.” I laughed and thought that they should add that to her bio for Cal where she will be beginning her college career in the next couple weeks. I’m giving it until about late October before she getting down with Nate Longshore, or more like Brock Mansion, since he’s not Mormon and doesn’t have a pitiful blog.

The Saga That Is Kevin Hart

The Second Coming — Tue, 12 Feb 2008 03:13:31 +0000

I wanted to wait until most of this story came out before writing about it and finally think that it is time. By now, hopefully you have heard of Kevin Hart, the 6â€™5â€ 290 pound lineman from Nevada, who concocted his own recruiting battle over the past six months. The high school seniorâ€™s decision came down to the Cal Golden Bears and the Oregon Ducks in front of a packed gymnasium as well as family, friends and coaches. Hart ended up picking up the Cal hat and stating that Coach Tedford was a main reason for his choice, however Tedford had never spoken to or recruited the 18 year old. The backlash came swiftly as news of the choice hit recruiting websites with numerous coaches bluntly saying that they had never recruited him. Originally it was thought that someone was playing a cruel joke on the teen, which would have been hilarious, but it came out the Hart just made it all up himself, which is just sad. This kid was just another one of those high school athletes in a small town that really wasnâ€™t that special even though everyone else thought he was. Hart ego was so taken over that he went as far as pulling off this entire hoax, which may even leave his coach without a job. Personally, this kid deserves everything that is coming to him by taking something away from those high school athletes who truly deserve the spotlight. This storyline is just aching to be written into an episode of Friday Night Lights, as long as the best show on television comes back for another season. The worst part is that Hart is standing up to the scrutiny; he hasnâ€™t been back to school and is not talking to reporters. Once again, the â€œSmall Town Superstarâ€ still canâ€™t face the music and refuses to realize what high school is all about, getting an education and learning how to grow up. So, hereâ€™s to Kevin Hart, keep feeling bad for yourself because no one cares. You were an offensive guard from a small town in Nevada that no one really cared about, make your way over to your townâ€™s community college, leave after a couple semesters of failure and good luck working in some kind of factory for the rest of your life. The good thing is, you wonâ€™t be able to get out of the town that led you to believe you could play with the real superstars.

P.S. You know something that really sucks, this whole situation is going to get blamed on the current system of recruiting, which is excitement, promise and despair all rolled into one. Every player is like their own movie and I like watching. So, please donâ€™t dwell on the way things work, dwell on the fact that this kid needs to grow up.
