You know it's bad in Iowa City when...

...even the Cedar Rapids Gazette (the Iowa Hawkeye "homer" paper) is getting in on the act. The "act", if you aren't already aware, is the now-regular reporting of the mounting criminal activities by (cough)student(cough)-athletes at the University of Iowa (nearly all of which have been football players).

Cedar Rapids Gazette - Leaders, not bystanders

The "Ghost Room"?! Good Lord.

Now, an intelligent person might ask, "If all of these quotes are from investigations you did in November of last year, why are you just now (six months later) reporting it?"

The answer, my friends, lies in the first sentence of this post.

It appears the floodgates are now wide open. Not even the Hawkeye Gazette can pretend it isn't happening anymore.

Oh, well... better late than never... I guess. Don't get cocky, though. You didn't earn any respect with this.

SIDE NOTE: I really don't like spending this much time/energy on the Hawks, but it's coming in waves right now. Really. There is nothing I can do. My hands are tied. Not in a "my hands are tied while Cedric Everson sexually assaults me" kind of way, but you smell what I'm cookin'.
