I work in marketing analytics for a major personalized marketing company (whose name you probably don't even recognize). We can do some fun stuff! It's funny when we see a competitor market weird crap to us.
Minnesota wrestlers under investigation for distributing Xanax
- Thread starter Pennstate1985
- Start date
I did a few Google searches about Xanax and related issues after the news broke the other day from Dinkytown. I would not be surprised to see ads for various pharmaceutical products showing up my screen as a result.
Get off my lawn you rapscallion!!!!!
But how would Chief get his penis enlarger pump ad? For all we know, that might be his bag, baby.

Hey now...I was looking for a friend...ahem
dont tell us how to live our lives!!
I hear that Jammenz is available.
I don't know to be honest. I do all of my posting from my iPhone but I I guess it works like a computor no? I did do searches on Xanax after hearing about this story. I will say the ad was certainly there. Lol
Edit**. I just went to look again. It's not there now. It's now showing Walmart ad. I refreshed a couple times and a Flo ad appeared.

There's a post on TheMat that makes a lot of sense re: Xanax and its draw for wrestlers of all people:
------
often times kids who don't want to drink a lot but still get F'd up will take a bar and either some shots or a few beers. This could be beneficial to wrestlers who cant consume a lot of liquid due to its weight. So they will take a bar/stick/green monster/hulk (slang for xanax. and only 1-2 drinks so they don't get too heavy. People often put several xanax in wine in order to make "xine"

Makes sense.
Give me tea-totalers like Matt Brown and nerds who stay in and play video games any day.

Cory Clark was the 8th ranking HALO player in the world. Suffice to say he dosesn't have time for all that
Man - if they had 1st person shooter games like that when I was growing up, I would have never left the damn house.
Mom! Bring up some more meatloaf!!!!
These kids nowadays need a hippie oldtimer to teach them how to do drugs properly.
I know...I have an Xbox One which I don't get to play often but I love Call of Duty. Kind of sucks when you are getting killed by a ten year old kid online and you hear him laughing and using the F-Word...You go to respond in a likewise manner and realize the kid is ten years old...Haha.
Hey Chief. First I want to give you my best wishes and prayers to you and your family in these times of trouble. You're one of my favorites on these boards and I'm pulling for ya BUBBA. That's all I'll say cuz I can tell you're the type the doesn't want a fuss being made when it comes to you. Anyway, is that true? Was Clark really ranked 8th in the world at Halo. Ill admit I know nothing about video games and only recently found out from my 14 year old son that they actually have tournaments and championships for video game players.
Yeah, I saw it in a good article by Andy Hamilton [here] comparing Gilman and Clark a few months ago, tracking their relationship from rivals to teammates.
Yes...I guess he was. Brent Metcalf even jokingly said (on Twitter) that Iowa would offer a scholarship to anybody who could beat Clark in HALO. CT's comment made me think of him.Thanks for the good thoughts my friend.

JRob's agent makes statement that J notified his direct supervisor and interim AD of his concerns about use. Doesn't specify the dealing per say. However, more communication took place than was originally lead on.

I sense a parsing of words from the agent. He says JRob notified the interim AD of drug use, and tested those suspected users. As you say, no mention of the dealers, which really is the issue here anyway. If he was only facing guys using Xanax, drug testing and a one page essay may have sufficed. It's what he did or did not do to the dealers that is in question, and nothing in that agent statement mentions that at all.
will be interesting to see if there was drug dealing or not, and what, if anything, JRob did about it. That agent statement doesn't really answer the real questions.
I think you're probably right. The statement is more interesting for what it doesn't say than what it does, but it's interesting for what it does say too. It's no coincidence that his agent is his attorney, because his words need to be measured carefully. You can't necessarily infer that J Rob is liable for whatever he doesn't explicitly deny but generally speaking you want to douse as many fires as you can in one of these statements, and he didn't quite do that.
The statement is dismissive of the anonymous source used in the Tribune story (from which emerged details such as the number of pills, how many were dumped in the river, and the prices) but it doesn't deny any claim in particular except to offer up a blanket condemnation of the "media environment."
So he focuses on all the steps for which he definitely has cover regarding use, and it's obviously helpful for him that he can put the school on the hook, potentially. And that may be enough to save his job, whether he knew about the selling or not. Whether the alleged selling matters or not hinges on whether investigators are interested, and/or whether the school is interested in pursuing. If school wants to follow the investigation to the end, questions would likely be what was reasonable for J Rob to conclude from the facts he understood (if he took custody of 1000+ pills, how could he think this was only about use?); and whether the facts of which he was aware were conveyed to school in their entirety, or whether he shaded what he knew to implicate only use and not selling.
I haven't seen a semi-frequent poster here (and even more so on HR) post in 10 or so days. I hope all is clear in his neck of the woods, and he's just letting the smoke clear.
I have hesitated to post on this subject for obvious reasons. We had a great person torn apart by media and fans before all facts were known and then lies by political morons. J Rob has had a HOF career and earned it. The newest report is that he indeed did report allegations to his superiors (sounds familiar). I will wait till all facts are known until I form an opinion and I strongly recommend all do the same.
I've had a bad feeling about that in the pit of my stomach. I'm praying there was no involvement there...
UM posters seem to suggest it might be someone who was a late scratch from Junior WTTs. That would not be the subject poster's son as he competed. There are not many freshman/rs Fr left to choose from.

I was going to say the same thing. The son has been been active this offseason, less than 2 months after the $hit hit the fan. Here's hoping that's a good sign - I suspect that it is. Given the serious allegations against the coach and what was reported to be upwards of 30% of last year's roster, I can see why the father would scale back on posting. There's nothing to gain.
That was a question over there Chickenman...not necessarily a fact. I think they were asking about one particular individual not named Early. The individual that I think they are alluding to scratched because of weight. 12 pounds over the target a few days before and was feeling too sick to cut the rest. At least that's what I heard. EDIT: Sorry to talk in riddles but I don't want to even be close to naming names

He is smart enough to leave this situation alone and distance himself. No good would come of it. Anyone expecting him (or any parent) to comment on the situation publicly at this time is unrealistic.
Attempting to speculate involvement publicly is unfair to anyone not involved. Would hate for someone to be falsely accused of anything. Speculation is human nature, but I suggest doing it in private.

Flo has a story indicating JRob has been placed on paid administrative leave while the investigation is ongoing. Link="http://www.flowrestling.org/article/42334-j-robinson-placed-on-administrative-leave"

And this is probably the point of no return. Rare to see a coach be investigated and then return, regardless of innocence or not
