As a friend told me, nothing pops like a Pringle.

Penn State Police confirmed today that they have filed charges against Nittany Lions basketball player Stanley Pringle in an incident involving public masturbation that occurred last Thursday in Pattee Library.

Police said Pringle, the team’s point guard, sat behind the victim in the stacks section of the library, attempted to start a conversation with the woman and began masturbating. Police have filed charges of public lewdness and disorderly conduct against him in connection to the incident…

A similar incident occurred on March 21 on the second-floor landing of McElwain Hall’s main stairwell between 8 and 8:15 p.m, when police said a man entered the building behind the woman and followed her to the stairwell landing where he began to masturbate. A similar description of the man was given in both incidents, police said. No charges have been filed for the McElwain Hall incident.

Classic.





I left this comment at the very tail end of the last post “This Better Not Be An April Fool’s Thing,” so to keep it fresh I’m leaving it here, too. __________ Q:

Does anyone know where Paul Zeise is these days? I haven’t seen a Q&A since Tuesday, February 12. In fact, since spring drills began, I’ve noticed two articles authored by him (March 19, 24) – both coming in the opening week of practice.

In his final Q&A of the recruiting/offseason, he concludes that “…we’ll all be back here discussing practice (before you know it)…So keep the questions rolling in and we’ll get started again with Pitt football Q&A’s some time around March 20…”

Since then, the bulk of coverage has been provided by Post-Gazette reporters Colin Dunlap — whose stated “primary focus” is high school ball — and Gerry Dulac. (Phil Axelrod has weighed in as well.) But again, hardly any material submitted by PZ since camp started.

I’ve had my criticisms for Zeise, but I’m missing him at this point. Has anyone else noticed the conspicuous absence of the team’s “beat writer?”

He was covering the Pitt women’s team in the NCAA tourney. He was on the Subway Nightly Sports Show last night and said that he is going to his first spring practice today. I would expect more in the near future. Kevin Gorman was covering the women’s team for the Trib as well.

I was wondering where the hell those guys have been too. So that explains it I guess- WEAK excuse if you ask me. The coverage of Pitt football has definitely been piss poor so far. The local media does Pitt football no favors at all.

For everyone like me who’s starving for Pitt football material I suggest checking out rivals and scout- they have a few decent free articles even if you aren’t a subscriber.

Thanks Paterno, that’s helpful – good to know.

Comment by Neil 04.03.08 @ 2:45 pm

Sounds like a case for Carl Monday.

Comment by freebird 04.03.08 @ 3:41 pm

While I’d like more Spring ball coverage, I disagree that its a weak excuse. I wish people would pay more attention to our Women’s hoops team, and all of our other teams. Agnes Berenato has done an incredible job, and the women are a fun team to watch…well coached and hard-nosed. That said, they’ve been done for five days. Where are my articles about Pat Bostick’s sleek new look?!!

Comment by Maz 04.03.08 @ 4:00 pm

Don’t get me wrong- I don’t mean to knock the women. I’m glad they’re getting their due- but like you said, their season ended 5 days ago. Time for the football beat writers cover the football beat! It’s been a long four months!

Here’s a week-old link for you about that coach across the state. If you thought a Penn State degree was worthless before, read this and see it’s gotten worse. Hilarious.

Comment by mjb 04.03.08 @ 5:41 pm

That school has become a laughing stock. I love it. Now if we could just play them on the field to beat their ass again.

Comment by Stuart 04.03.08 @ 5:48 pm

So i go over that that dumps blog to see what they’re saying about their criminal institution, and guess what they’re talking about instead?

If the Pitt/State Penn series should be revived, and if we’re rivals.

We’re clearly not considering they spend hours on end talking about us…i wish that guy would just be gone so we could get back to the way it should be…

Did Joe talk dirty to him?

Comment by Larry F 04.03.08 @ 7:18 pm

on Sunday morning Sportscenter, tey reported that PSU was starting a course about JoePa and the media, and then they showed his Saturday press conference where he was talking to the media with a mouthful of pizza. Don’t know if they did it on purpose but it really wasn’t very flattering.

Comment by wild Bill 04.03.08 @ 7:53 pm

mjb, loved the link. Hilarious.

Comment by Ann 04.03.08 @ 11:38 pm

Speaking of the Penn State Basketball program, ever notice that it has the second WORST graduation rate in the Big Ten? Apparently “success with honor” only applies to Penn State Football…

…if even that.

So, does anyone else remember when Pitt was plagued by a library masturbator in the late 80s/early 90s? I remember reading about that guy in Pitt News police blotter from time to time. Was he ever caught? What became of him?

Comment by Shawn 04.04.08 @ 8:55 am

I remember the library masturbator. It was the only reason to read the Pitt News, for the masturbator updates!

And that JoePa press conference eating thing was totally on purpose, and it was hilarious. All of the respect he built up during his career is slowing being flushed down the drain. My gosh, call it quits old man. Is there nothing else you’d like to do with your life than be a cranky old football coach?

Comment by Carmen 04.04.08 @ 9:31 am

I’m at the point now that I really don’t care or want to play PSU (P*sS on U)in football or basketball. I’d rather see Pitt have non-conference games against Ohio State. They be barn-burners…!!

Comment by Mark 04.04.08 @ 12:12 pm

we used to play osu when mike gottfried was coach, and they were competitive games

Comment by Kurt 04.04.08 @ 2:03 pm

If none of you have ever tried masturbating in a library then you can’t judge because you don’t know how wonderful it can be. If there’s a sexy woman around it makes it an even more beautiful experience. The smell of the books, the warm dry air on your skin, the quiet stillness and fluorescent lighting — it all combines for a sublime wank.

Comment by Bill 04.04.08 @ 3:33 pm

Well, God bless ya Bill for a laugh on this dreary, dreary evening!
