The football team might be harmed! The Steubenville, Ohio football team, parents, and law enforcement and legal staff are not very pleased with Anonymous right now. They've just released extensive details on a terrible case involving team players and other associated personnel... [warning: triggers / rape]

Perhaps one quote, from one of Steubenville High's 19 football coaches, best summed up the controversy: "The rape was just an excuse, I think ...What else are you going to tell your parents when you come home drunk like that and after a night like that? She had to make up something. Now people are trying to blow up our football program because of it."

After the original NYT story got buried a few weeks ago in the aftermath from Sandy Hook, Anonymous took up the case of a girl who had been repeatedly raped by members of the team by posting information about the people involved, including the person who runs the team's website (who himself had some questionable photos in his personal email). The documents were released 1 January and picked up by the Huffington Post and the Atlantic, among other websites. The Atlantic has created an everything you need to know compilation as well as additional highlights from the files released by Anonymous. Like so many other small towns, everyone knows/is related to/works for people on various sides of the equation. Social media has amplified the effects of tweets and other relevant items posted by participants in the alleged crimes. Head Football Coach Reno Saccoccia, who has been criticized for not disciplining the team members involved, "reportedly has links to the juvenile court system" and had this to say to a reporter: "You're going to get yours. And if you don't get yours, somebody close to you will."

Tressel Resigns

Jim Tressel, one of the most successful college football coaches in history, has resigned as coach of the Ohio State Buckeyes. After several players were discovered to have traded Ohio State football memorabilia for tattoos (actions which represent NCAA violations), it was revealed that Tressel knew of the player's actions and attempted to conceal the information from investigators. Though Tressel often projected a squeaky clean, conservative image, detractors have often accused him of hypocrisy.

The Dead Schembechlers - a college football rivalry goes punk rock crazy. (Background audio on first page & lyrics pages)

Rising up out of Columbus, Ohio's “Wolverine Hatecore” scene, The Dead Schembechlers have earned the dual titles of "The Best Damn Punk Band on the Planet" and "The Band Most Likely to Have Their Eyeballs Gouged Out If They Ever Show Up in Michigan."

Hey Ho... Fuck Bo!
