Classic University. Classic is defined as something created that is
generally considered to be of the highest quality and of enduring value.
That’s why the older cars are called classics, older pieces of
art…classic, older literature…classic, older music…classic. That brings
us to University, which is an educational institution for higher
learning!<br />When you add those two words together, <span style="color: #663333;"><strong><em>(Classic University)</em></strong></span> it is my way of saying the Oldschool. This site will have news, gossip, sports, music and life from an <strong>Oldschool</strong> perspective. Why do we need that?<br /><br />Nowadays everything is <em>fast and furious</em>, supposedly <em>bigger and better</em>, <em>new and improved</em>.
Not from where I stand, the kids are crazier, the mothers are younger
and the fathers are non-existent. The sports figures are celebrities and
celebrities are gods, however they both stay drugged up and under
arrest. And why does the average artist album have about 2 good songs on
it. <em><strong>WHY?!?!</strong></em><br /><br />I know why, because today
it’s all about the money, the mighty dollar. Gone are the days of
playing sports for the passion of the game, making music for the love of
the music, or creating art just for the creativity or the inspiration
of it all. That’s why the world that we know today is watered down.<br />
<br />
<div>
The <strong>NBA</strong> is full of overpaid crybabies that would
not last two minutes in the NBA that I fell in love with in the 80’s and
90’s. Most of todays players are not fundamentally sound and they don’t know
the game of basketball. Players these days are just very athletic and
trying to get paid.<br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_tIkHYRJuG4c/SdJgeoq6FyI/AAAAAAAAACE/6x8NDO1m27A/s1600-h/mcguire_06.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5319420189307705122" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_tIkHYRJuG4c/SdJgeoq6FyI/AAAAAAAAACE/6x8NDO1m27A/s320/mcguire_06.jpg" style="cursor: hand; float: left; height: 185px; margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px; width: 270px;" /></a>The beloved all American statistic driven <strong>Major League Baseball</strong>
is full of athletes that are bigger and better…not because they work
harder but because they have no problem cheating the game for the
accolades or just to get paid.</div>
<br /><div>
</div>
<div>
</div>
The <strong>Music industry</strong>
is all about the money as well. Records labels are about putting out a
product that can sell units, not about the art of music or even the
artist that composes the music. Some of the best artist and singers in
the world do not have a record contract because t<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_tIkHYRJuG4c/SdJfF6S-oXI/AAAAAAAAABs/DStXh0_8ICc/s1600-h/milli-vanilli-horizontal.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5319418665030820210" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_tIkHYRJuG4c/SdJfF6S-oXI/AAAAAAAAABs/DStXh0_8ICc/s320/milli-vanilli-horizontal.jpg" style="cursor: hand; float: right; height: 171px; margin: 0px 0px 10px 10px; width: 260px;" /></a>hey
may be overweight or not attractive enough to sell records. So what
happens? We the customers get a synthesized, over edited and a pretty
much fake voice and fake product that we have invested money on…that is
if you did not pirate the music in the first place!<br />
And don’t even get me started on that. In the world of Classic
University, if we wanted to pirate some music, we had to listen to the
radio on a <strong><em><span style="color: #cc0000;">component stereo system</span></em></strong> <strong>(look it up on Wikipedia if you don’t know you young whippersnapper!!)</strong>
put in a cassette tape, set the tape to record and hit pause and pray
you were in the room when your favorite song came on so you could
un-pause <a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_tIkHYRJuG4c/SdPQ-YgEAMI/AAAAAAAAADM/IUb9XDXlD0Y/s1600-h/casette.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5319825355002085570" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_tIkHYRJuG4c/SdPQ-YgEAMI/AAAAAAAAADM/IUb9XDXlD0Y/s400/casette.jpg" style="cursor: hand; float: left; height: 218px; margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px; width: 240px;" /></a>and
record the whole song!! Then pray your little sister or brother didn’t
pull the tape out of your favorite cassette tape and ruin it. I have
spent a many a night sitting there with a pencil and a cassette tape
turning, turning, turning and more turning to get the tape back in the
cassette…yawldonthearmetho!!!<br />
<br />I tell you what, though…as a
result I appreciated those songs, because I had to work for them.
That’s how most things were back in the day, had to be worked for and
earned so it wasn’t taken for granted.<br /><br />This is also the reason
why Classic University will be consistently fresh and new, because I
will work for and earn your respect as a reader, fan, friend or whatever
you may be.ClassicUniversityhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15832368652315806552noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2065563215910388947.post-42066392737639317102010-02-18T10:17:00.006-05:002010-02-18T11:07:19.969-05:00All Day I Dream of Starwars?!?<div align="center">If you are wondering where that title comes from...for anyone that does not know back in the day people used to say that ADIDAS was an acronym for "all day I dream of sex".<br /></div><div align="center">I heard that in middle school, so chances are there is no truth to it whatsoever!. </div><div align="center"><br /></div><div align="center">However I will now be using a new acronym...the one stated above, because ADIDAS has teamed up with, a <strong><em>Classic Univeristy favorite</em></strong>, </div><div align="center"><strong><span style="font-size:130%;">Starwars</span></strong> to make...</div><div align="center"><br /></div><div align="center"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_tIkHYRJuG4c/S31alGjCceI/AAAAAAAAAhw/ZyEQsF2smxo/s1600-h/Adidas-Darth-Vader-Track-Jacket.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5439603518392660450" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 298px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_tIkHYRJuG4c/S31alGjCceI/AAAAAAAAAhw/ZyEQsF2smxo/s400/Adidas-Darth-Vader-Track-Jacket.jpg" border="0" /></a> The Dark Side goes streetwise with the adidas Star Wars Darth Vader Superstar Track Top, a limited edition design inspired by the overlord's Imperial style.

The winner of the sexiest song of all time is -- Olivia Newton-John with "Physical," according to music publication Billboard. </em></p><p><em>Billboard has come up with a list of the 50 most popular songs about sex in time for Valentine's Day with each song given points according to its performance on the Billboard hot 100 chart from August 1958 until January this year.

Kelly or Trey Songz ring a bell?<br /><br />I am been married for 15 years and these 2 guys STILL make me blush!<br /><br />With titles like “I Invented Sex”, “Sticky Face”, “12 Play”, “Sex Me” and “Bump and Grind”, how does Olivia Newton John’s song even get into the top 50?<br /><br />These are just some of the songs that were looked up at the click of a mouse, the mainstream radio is loaded with songs about sex and vivid descriptions of sexual acts, so I find it hard believe a song from 1981 is number one on the charts for being the sexist song of all time.<br /><br />I mean they use Olivia Newton John’s song “Physical” in health clubs all over the country to exercise to, so how bad can it be? Whereas they would probably feel uncomfortable playing R. Kelly’s songs at a strip club.

Not only does fantasy football take up a lot of my time, trying to keep my wife from thinking fantasy football is not more important than her takes up more time than fantasy football itself!<br /><br />But never fear, Classic University is here! Back now with a vengeance! As well I am back with some <strong>CLASSIC UNIVERSITY SIZED ISSUES!!!<br /></strong><br />As the DEAN, CEO, and VALEDICTORIAN of Classic University, you well know Oldschool pumps through my veins and with each passing day I miss the Oldschool even more. <strong>NOTHING</strong> made me miss the Oldschool so much as watching the 2010 NBA DUNK CONTEST!<br /><br /><strong><em>The 2010 NBA ALL-STAR Dunk Contest was the worst Dunk contest in the HISTORY of DUNK CONTEST…and not just the NBA, DUNK CONTEST PERIOD!<br /></em></strong><br />NONE of the contestants even looked like they cared, they were missing dunks, no flair, no personality, the crowd was barely cheering and <strong>NOT ONE DUNK</strong> was original!<br /><br />Nate Washington, the winner, was just the lesser of the evils, he basically won because he is a small guy and looks decent while missing dunks and doing all the same crap from the last few years.<br /><br />Granted, Nate has a slight amount of flair, he brought out a few <em>Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders</em>, before on of the Dunks, however they were just eye candy, didn’t use them as a prop, didn’t jump over them, didn’t interact with them at all, didn’t feel them up, <strong>NOTHING</strong>! Nate just let them stand there while he missed dunk after dunk and changed from one dunk to another and then had the nerve to act like he did something after making the unoriginal dunk!<br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_tIkHYRJuG4c/S3mAoNSaT1I/AAAAAAAAAhQ/x1ZGsQDZK2k/s1600-h/nate+washington.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5438519453276589906" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 258px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_tIkHYRJuG4c/S3mAoNSaT1I/AAAAAAAAAhQ/x1ZGsQDZK2k/s320/nate+washington.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />Back when the NBA was great, they had the NBA’s brightest stars in the dunk contest and those stars took it serious! They worked at their dunks, they thought about what dunks they were going to do and put time and effort into the contest.<br /><br />Missed dunks were few and far in between and there were no do-overs, they scored you on the miss, you didn’t get another try, there was no “dunk” clock involved, there was no young goofy looking deer in the headlights looking punks in the contest, it was the best of the best, playing for <strong>PRIDE!<br /></strong><br />Not anymore, these tall tattooed up would be janitors have no pride, they are motivated by nothing, content with just being mediocre and it shows.<br /><br />There are some classes to be taught and lessons to be learned from the Star Professor of Classic University, another one of my many titles/hats worn here on campus, because these young whippersnappers stink and they don’t even know it! I blame the NBA because the NBA is too drunk with money to tell these fools about themselves.<br /><br />Let them stay drunk, and with out my hard earned money, because I will not being buying any NBA tickets to any thing ALL-STAR related, anything regular season related or anything NBA related until the playoffs begin. The NBA Playoffs is the only time we get to see any real effort out of these chumps, so until then they will not get my time or money!ClassicUniversityhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15832368652315806552noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2065563215910388947.post-36444574662903329832010-02-15T10:41:00.002-05:002010-02-15T10:45:03.238-05:00Have to have this!!!<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_tIkHYRJuG4c/S3lruSZhu_I/AAAAAAAAAhA/ELKaw8tPn5c/s1600-h/The-Indiana-Leather-Adventure-Duffel.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5438496467983645682" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 362px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_tIkHYRJuG4c/S3lruSZhu_I/AAAAAAAAAhA/ELKaw8tPn5c/s400/The-Indiana-Leather-Adventure-Duffel.jpg" border="0" /></a> Traveling doesn't mean you have to compromise style and class.

With all the great personalities on the NFL Network why would they choose that LOSER from the Detroit Lions Fiasco! Why would anyone hire him for anything?!?<br /><br />After what Matt Millen did in Detroit the only thing I would hire him for is consulting…ON WHAT NOT TO DO, either that or replacing the entire urinal cakes in my office building.<br /><br />How does he keep getting jobs? He must have naked pictures of all the right people. I mean I have some naked pictures of some very important people but the only problem is that I am in the pictures too, so they don’t have quite the same impact….sigh.ClassicUniversityhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15832368652315806552noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2065563215910388947.post-84073812702765717092009-11-13T10:13:00.003-05:002009-11-13T10:17:36.718-05:00Have to have this!<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_tIkHYRJuG4c/Sv132pa_99I/AAAAAAAAAgA/psWyZHW1Kas/s1600-h/il_430xN_86170054.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5403606908630202322" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_tIkHYRJuG4c/Sv132pa_99I/AAAAAAAAAgA/psWyZHW1Kas/s400/il_430xN_86170054.jpg" border="0" /></a> HOW AWESOME IS THIS!?!?!<br /><br />This clock was created using an old recycled Fischer turntable and a Doobie Bothers album, Minute by Minute, which is replaceable.<br /><br />The clock movement is quartz, and requires 1 AA battery (included). The album size is 33. The entire clock measures 17"w x 14h and hangs on the wall with 2 hangars on the back.<br /><br />It will make a great conversation piece on your wall.<br /><br />These clocks are made from actual recycled turntables and albums.<br /><br />So oldschool I think I love it.ClassicUniversityhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15832368652315806552noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2065563215910388947.post-50855072857897967032009-10-20T11:56:00.006-04:002009-10-20T12:21:14.146-04:00I am in love!<div align="center"><strong>What’s cooler than the Oldschool?

It uses sensors and an overhead projector to create images that follow the balls as they bang around the table.<br /><br />The system itself will set you back $80,000, no pool table included. At the Esquire Ultimate Bachelor Pad, where it's currently set up, it's projecting on a $125,000 pool table. So at $205,000...Bottom line: you can't afford it.<br /><br />In addition to this setup, where the balls reveal an image hidden underneath, you can also set it up to have flames track behind the balls, or water that ripples as the balls pass over it. It's a pretty awesome trick, one that works surprisingly smoothly.<br /><br />They're working on new software that will make it more useful than flashy, too. Imagine playing pool and having the lines where you should shoot projected down on the table, with a computer doing all the math necessary to show you just where to aim and how hard to hit.

Police said the boy faked his kidnapping Friday to avoid bringing home a bad report card, saying that a man with a pistol snatched him after he left Ed White Middle School.<br /><br />The boy said the man forced him into a "beat-up car" and threatened to kill him. The student said he escaped by jumping out of the car but wasn't able to grab his bookbag, which contained the report card.<br /><br />He ran to his grandparents' house and later confessed to lying. His grandfather called police to apologize. Sgt. Mark Roberts said police were suspicious that the boy was able to "escape" with his band instrument, but not his bookbag. Roberts said the boy faces no charges at this time.<br /><br /><strong>If this little young punk put this kind of creativity and time in to his school work, he wouldn't need to hide his report card!!!</strong>ClassicUniversityhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15832368652315806552noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2065563215910388947.post-35656168938576273002009-09-15T12:02:00.004-04:002009-09-15T12:08:03.511-04:00Is this good or bad?<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_tIkHYRJuG4c/Sq-6mz5YIXI/AAAAAAAAAfI/n1QnRZoHL9A/s1600-h/3259683064_cdc1209e7a.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5381725255659692402" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_tIkHYRJuG4c/Sq-6mz5YIXI/AAAAAAAAAfI/n1QnRZoHL9A/s200/3259683064_cdc1209e7a.jpg" border="0" /></a>Is this a good thing or a bad thing? <br /><br />The Associated press reported....<br /><br />CRESTWOOD, Mo. – A 68-year-old man who still works at the first McDonald's restaurant in Missouri has been honored for 50 years of service.<br /><br />Leonard Rhomberg began his job at a McDonald's restaurant in the St. Louis suburb of Crestwood in 1959, the year after it opened.

As the Dean of Classic University, I just like certain things the way they used to be, and I would very much like them to go back there.<br /><br />For example, the other day I was in Home Depot and I just happen to see something called “Hand Scraped Maple”. HUH?!?! Explain to me What that is please? It looked like WOOD to me! <br /><br />Whatever happened to simple things like Maple wood or Cherry wood, it has to be hand scraped now? <br /><br />My favorite color used to be Blue, remember that color? The color blue is like a fossil now, they have new and improved blues like, Prussian Blue, Yale Blue and Cobalt Blue, I have even seen <strong>LAKE MICHIGAN BLUE…WHAT THE WHAT!?!?!</strong><br /><br />Lake freaking Michigan Blue? Who is thinking this crap up? It’s all motivated by the love of money and the <strong>LOVE of money</strong> is ruining this world. How you say?<br /><br />Next time you are in target or some other store that sells cosmetics, go by the cosmetic aisle and you will see 1.27 billion different colors divided between 3 or 4 different manufacturers. Women are being tricked into believing that diamond blue looks better on them than peacock blue, and yes those colors actually do exist. So as a result, women go and buy 12 different colors and to see which one looks best on them. <br /><br />And don’t even get me started on trying to pick a color to paint a room, have you ever seen a paint color wheel? The Sherwin Williams website color wheel has over 1500 colors in it….1500!!!!!! <em>(1561 different colors to be exact)<br /></em><br />Now I have a public school education so please help me on this one…there are 3 primary colors right? Then you add 3 more secondary colors, and they makes 6 colors, is that correct? Yet Sherwin freakin Williams came up with over <strong>one thousand five hundred fifty four more</strong> colors? <br /><br />You are being brain washed people, it is a conspiracy to take your money!! <br /><br />I remember as a child wanting the box of 64 crayons, you know the one with the with the crayon sharpener on the back of the box…<strong>AWESOME</strong>…I wanted it so bad I was ready beat up a kid and take his box of 64 crayons. <br /><br />Tell me this...what kid needs 64 different colors to color Tom <em>(a gray cat)</em> and Jerry <em>(a brown mouse) </em>in a coloring book? I remember that box of 64 had gray as a color and in the same box it had the color silver…in the coloring book world, <strong>SILVER IS GREY</strong>!!! Wait, my bad, I meant say GRAY, but don’t worry cause GREY is whole other color, so there are no wrong answers here.<br /><br />Some think its pure genius to come up with such a money making scheme, as an old school activist, I think its pure evil.ClassicUniversityhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15832368652315806552noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2065563215910388947.post-76491428595036659342009-09-11T09:52:00.003-04:002009-09-11T10:02:31.652-04:00Mirror, Mirror, on the wall...<div align="center">These are top choices of them all!!!</div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center">How cool is this, an Ipod touch mirror!

The nines have it. Chuck Berendes of La Crosse said he will never forget the birthday of this third child, born Wednesday on the ninth day of the nine month in the year 2009.<br /><br />Nor will Berendes and his wife, Polly, forget Henry Michael's arrival time — at 9:09 a.m. by Cesarean section at Franciscan Skemp Medical Center in La Crosse.<br /><br />But they got the biggest laugh when the newborn was placed on the delivery room scale following his birth. Berendes said it was metric scale so the doctor did the math in his head, but to make sure, he had the nurse also do the conversion.<br /><br />Berendes said they broke into laughter when the nurse told them Henry weighed 9 pounds, 9 ounces.ClassicUniversityhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15832368652315806552noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2065563215910388947.post-61756025667746215702009-08-28T14:47:00.003-04:002009-08-28T14:53:16.847-04:00A man after my own heart!In the video below is the MAN Mike Singletary, head coach of the San Francisco 49ers, as he talks about a player, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vernon_Davis">Vernon Davis</a>, whom he sent off the field DURING a game for not being a team player.<br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_tIkHYRJuG4c/SpgnKdlHmfI/AAAAAAAAAdQ/WUaKc5JVuU8/s1600-h/t1_davis.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5375089215959177714" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 126px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_tIkHYRJuG4c/SpgnKdlHmfI/AAAAAAAAAdQ/WUaKc5JVuU8/s200/t1_davis.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />49er’s Tight End Vernon Davis had been penalized by NFL referees for doing something boneheaded, AFTER THE PLAY WAS OVER, and then tried to defend himself to coach Singletary on the sideline. At that point Singletary had had enough and sent him to the locker room.<br /><br />That act as a head coach in itself was nothing short of AWESOMETASTIC, but add to that, the fact that Vernon Davis was a first round top 10 pick in the NFL 2006 draft and has done pretty much NOTHING ever since entering the league, so to send him off the field for being a jerk was just pure CLASSIC UNIVERSITY genius by itself.<br /><br />However the beloved Mike Singletary did not stop there…noooo, he showed even more CLASSIC UNIVERSITY skills by having THIS press conference after the game.<br /><br />I personally loved what he had to say, I hate these cry baby players who have never done ANYTHING but for some reason think people should cater to them.<br /><br />I hate players who have done A LOT and think people should cater to them. You think because you can run fast and have muscles that makes you a better man? Real men are men like MIKE SINGLETARY, men with honor, work ethic and heart, so if you want some respect, try earning it.<br /><br />Vernon Davis…GO GET A HAIR CUT PUNK!!!<br /><object height="364" width="445"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/EB5-yJM3vJc&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0x2b405b&color2=0x6b8ab6&border=1"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><br /><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/EB5-yJM3vJc&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0x2b405b&color2=0x6b8ab6&border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="445" height="364"></embed></object>ClassicUniversityhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15832368652315806552noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2065563215910388947.post-53223497361259607872009-08-28T11:59:00.002-04:002009-08-28T12:06:27.179-04:00Eagles fans are the best!<strong>In case you are not sure, this is what you think it is...a painted or tagged wall with a mural of Michael Vick (who incedentally looks like Ray Lewis), in his new Eagle’s jersey choking a dog wearing an Tony Romo jersey…..PRICELESS!</strong><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5375046460082307890" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_tIkHYRJuG4c/SpgARvhtQzI/AAAAAAAAAdI/c7Z890XEES8/s400/a3ec8f3060a7e7cf33f11ba46d326acd_dogchokingmural.jpg" border="0" /> <div></div>ClassicUniversityhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15832368652315806552noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2065563215910388947.post-48438975568439391172009-08-20T14:03:00.003-04:002009-08-20T14:16:48.995-04:00THIS DUDE IS FAST!!!The Berlin Associated Press reported....<br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_tIkHYRJuG4c/So2Q89bXewI/AAAAAAAAAc4/uQYmjpfqhmk/s1600-h/capt_brl43808191953_germany_athletics_worlds_brl438.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5372109307478768386" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 264px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_tIkHYRJuG4c/So2Q89bXewI/AAAAAAAAAc4/uQYmjpfqhmk/s400/capt_brl43808191953_germany_athletics_worlds_brl438.jpg" border="0" /></a> <blockquote><p><em>The IAAF has asked the South African athletics federation to conduct a gender verification test on 800-meter runner Caster Semenya amid concerns she does not meet the requirements to compete as a woman. </em><em>Caster Semenya.<br /><br />The 18-year-old Semenya won the 800 final on Wednesday at the world championships in a world leading 1 minute, 55.45 seconds, beating defending<br />champion Janeth Jepkosgei by a massive 2.45 seconds. Jennifer Meadows of Britain took bronze. Olympic champion Pamela Jelimo was eliminated in qualifying.<br /><br />The IAAF requested the gender test about three weeks ago, after Semenya<br />burst onto the scene by slicing her personal bests in the 800 and 1,500 by huge<br />margins.<br /></em><em></em></p><p><em>IAAF spokesman Nick Davies stressed that "it's a medical issue, not<br />an issue of cheating." He said the "extremely complex, difficult" test has<br />been started but that the results were not expected for weeks.<br /><br />The verification test requires a physical medical evaluation, and includes reports from a gynecologist, endocrinologist, psychologist, an internal medicine specialist and an expert on gender.<br /><br />"So we're talking about reports that are very long, very time consuming," Davies said. South Africa team manager Phiwe Mlangeni-Tsholetsane would not confirm or deny that Semenya was having a gender test, but said "there was no cheating on our part." "We entered Caster as a woman and we want to keep it that way," Mlangeni-Tsholetsane said. " Our conscience is clear in terms of Caster. We have no reservations at all about that."<br /><br />Although medals will be awarded for the 800, the race remains under a cloud<br />until the investigation is closed, and Semenya could be stripped of the gold<br />depending on the test results, IAAF general secretary Pierre Weiss said.<br /><br />"If at the end of the investigation it is proven that the athlete is not female, we will withdraw the medal," Weiss said. "But today there is no proof and the benefit of doubt must always be in favor of the athlete."<br /><br />Semenya qualified for Wednesday's final with a top time of 1 minute, 58.64 seconds, and posted the world's top time this year of 1:56.72 three weeks ago at the African junior championships in Bambous, Mauritius.<br /></em><br /></p></blockquote><br /><strong>Does anyone besides me find this HILARIOUSLY FUNNY?!?!
