Ricky Stanzi Hates Hippies
http://thegazette.com/2010/11/19/no-patriot-act/
The money quote:
“I don’t know how other colleges are, but when you walk around here, you’ve got people . . . you’ve got guys walking around in dresses and just these hippies,” Stanzi said. “They’re doing nothing. There’s the Ped Mall area down there, right in the middle. Those people are going nowhere. Those people are the people who don’t like America.”

I f'ing love Ricky Stanzi.
November 19th, 2010 at 2:39 PM ^
Cut your hair you hippie!
November 19th, 2010 at 2:54 PM ^
Don't you get it? Every time Stanzi cuts his hair, a gun law is instituted somewhere in America. Stop trying to kill Patriotism, you hippie terrorist.

Brady is married to a furener named gazelle. Ah, the Jingoism dance. Does he have a passport?
November 19th, 2010 at 3:12 PM ^
I was JUST going to say that Stanzi looks a lot like Tom Brady here....
November 19th, 2010 at 3:33 PM ^
Now, Scott Tolzien -- there's a haircut you could set your watch to.
November 19th, 2010 at 3:47 PM ^
LOL
I too wanted to make this reference.
November 19th, 2010 at 4:51 PM ^
Is that you?

I copy and paste it but it's not working. Advice please.
November 19th, 2010 at 2:43 PM ^
Switch to plain text, paste the code, then switch back

I often wonder why Manbearpig never made the cut when Ol' Miss was looking for a mascot.
November 19th, 2010 at 6:12 PM ^
It's like representatives of their whole fanbase rolled into one sweaty, mysterious beast.
November 19th, 2010 at 4:47 PM ^
I had computer skillz.
November 19th, 2010 at 2:34 PM ^
If it was possible, Stanzi is even more awesome than I thought. How do you top a USA Flag tie and an awesome "America - Fuck Yeah" Mullet? Like that.
November 19th, 2010 at 2:34 PM ^
... he can always get his own show Ricky Stanzi's Iowa.
November 19th, 2010 at 2:35 PM ^
Glad Iowa didn't play in Eugene, Oregon this year. His head would have exploded.
November 19th, 2010 at 5:48 PM ^
$5 he goes to Bonaroo this summer.
November 19th, 2010 at 5:50 PM ^
as in, Berkeley.
November 19th, 2010 at 2:39 PM ^
For the message boards. "No politics - exception for ALL Ricky Stanzi talk."
I wish the B10 network had developed a segment where they followed Stanzi around during his career on road trips to Ann Arbor and Madison. Opportunity missed, B10 Network!
November 19th, 2010 at 6:30 PM ^
Is that most of us are unsure whether to treat Stanzi-worship as ironic or as sincere, or whether to see hippies as (marginal) representatives of a political stance or as a sadly misguided cultural phenomenon. My thought is that there's no real consensus here.
But yeah, I'd love to see Stanzi hang with the Hackey Sack All Starz on State street, then attend a couple of classes in the RC, then have dinner at one of the Co-ops on Washtenaw. That shit would get real real.
November 19th, 2010 at 2:40 PM ^
That would be fun to see Iowa play Cal or Colorado in a bowl game.
November 19th, 2010 at 2:40 PM ^
Great quote. I hope Stanzi treats osu like hippies.
November 19th, 2010 at 2:43 PM ^
Hippies play a vital role in the ecosystem though. Where do you think the good pot comes from?
Also someone go tell Stanzi that Tressel organizes drum circles.
November 19th, 2010 at 2:44 PM ^
and blast it over the loud speaker and they'll all leave.
November 19th, 2010 at 6:31 PM ^
I'm no hippie, but that would make me move on to greener pastures too.
November 19th, 2010 at 2:44 PM ^
Stanzi hates hippies but emulates hipsters, what's inconsistent about that?
November 19th, 2010 at 3:48 PM ^
If it involves drinking Pabst, nothing.
November 19th, 2010 at 2:59 PM ^
Look at his shirt...
November 19th, 2010 at 3:02 PM ^
next.
November 19th, 2010 at 3:06 PM ^
that you're a hippie.
Next
November 19th, 2010 at 3:48 PM ^
and went to the University of Michigan. Hippies made Ann Arbor what it is today.
He's also a fugly-acious looking noodle. Looks like a dust kitty.
November 19th, 2010 at 3:49 PM ^
They had Hippies in 1817??
November 19th, 2010 at 3:54 PM ^
Lets see here...
- Live off the land
- Make your own clothes
- Rarely shower/poor hygene
- Wacky long hair/wicked facial hair
- Hemp enthusiasts
November 19th, 2010 at 3:52 PM ^
Ruins the whole point, man.
November 19th, 2010 at 4:19 PM ^
Angry hippie? What did he do run out of grilled cheese and lose his homemade greatfull dead tapes?
November 19th, 2010 at 6:35 PM ^
That's like saying, Intelligent Bielema
November 19th, 2010 at 6:37 PM ^
I mean, Stanzi's pretty funny and everything, but we do know that if he's not actually a dumbass redneck, he's playing the role of one. Right?
I mean, how many hippies can there possibly be in Iowa? He's creating an imaginary nemesis here.
November 19th, 2010 at 3:05 PM ^
I refuse to believe there's been a Big 10 football player to love America more than J Leman.

Heres a preview
Great Photoshop thread of Stanzi being Stanzi.
November 19th, 2010 at 4:33 PM ^
New reality show idea: Stanzi parachutes into the Haight armed only with a Luger and a bottle of Patchouli for barter. He has six months to start a successful field office for the GOP. If he wins he and J Leman get to do an Extreme 'Merican Makeover on a cable car. If he loses, he has to wear Birkenstocks for his NFL tryouts.
Just spitballing here, but I think I'm on to something.
November 19th, 2010 at 3:18 PM ^
also, I guess slightly off topic, but does Stanzi really have 22 TDs and 4 INTs only this year? Is he suddenly an NFL prospect? How have they managed to lose 3 games with him playing so well? I guess the demise of all running backs would have something to do with it but they've gotta be really disappointed with their season.
