Deadspin says the following about Wake Forest’s football heroes:
3. Riley Skinner and Sam Swank are Wake Forest football stars.
They also have the greatest gay porn names this side of Vince Young.
What’s the over/under on number of inappropriate posters that are
getting confiscated at rival ACC stadiums connected to Skinner’s naked photos?
Better question, name a BCS team that you would eliminate from
contention to win the ACC this year. There isn’t one. Vanderbilt would
have a chance to win the ACC this year. Seriously, they would.
I really have been surprised that the story of Skinner sending naked pics of himself to some girls and those pictures making it online never seemed to get any attention. Honestly, I like the kid’s play at QB and I shudder to think of the stupid things I’d have done if the web was around when I was in school so I can’t say that he’s done anything dumber than I might have, but the fact of the matter is that Skinner is the starting QB of a top-20 football team and yet no one has said much about his, uh, image being spread all over the web. Normally this kind of story would get some attention, especially in ACC markets, but I’ve seen next to nothing. I posted about it in January when someone sent me the link to the original Deadspin story, and figured I’d eventually see something about it in the paper, but I didn’t. I think one of the local TV stations did a bit on the story, but I’m not sure.
BTW, it’s not like the story is a state secret. If you Google "Riley Skinner" the second result is a blog for NC State fans and the post about Skinner has 58 comments. Me thinks that when Wake hits the road there’s gonna be some heckling from the stands.
