Roger Goodell thinks ICCC President got off easy
Posted on August 29th, 2008 – 1:50 PMBy Michael Rand
Many of you have perhaps heard the story of Iowa Central Community College President Robert Paxton, who was photographed while helping refresh some coed’s thirst (to your right) and subsequently was relieved of his duties at the college. We’re pretty sure this is a 100-percent no-brainer and that Mr. Paxton had to go (can you even imagine, say, U of M President Robert Bruininks in a similar photo?). But we’d like to flip it back to the world of sports and ask: how would NFL uber-commish Roger Goodell handle this disciplinary matter? And what if it was Pacman Jones in that picture? (Oh, wait, never mind. Pacman was probably at Hooters).

Quit reading my slash fiction, Rand.
This reminds me of the picture of fromer ISU Coach Larry Eustachy kissing a coed at a party after a game against Mizzou. I also seem to recall the President of DMACC (Des Moines Area Community College) was fired for producing illegal drugs in his basement.
Ser. Ious. Ly. How creepy does one have to get before recognizing one’s own creepiness?
What fun is power and position if you can’t be corrupted by it?
Holy moly, look at the body on that guy.
What?

You said it.
Clearly you guys have never seriously partied on Lake Okoboji on the 4th of July. The mardi gras-like atmosphere totally seduces you to the dark side and makes you do things you’re not proud of the next morning. Er, or so I’ve heard.
Ten bucks says it was a shunned ex-girlfriend that sent the picture to the paper.

Atmosphere, schmatmosphere…nothing is going to make me drink Coors Light out of a mini-keg.
He would have only been suspended if not for the fact that he was giving the poor girl Coors Light.
Should’ve known Dave would beat me to slandering the beer choice.

But not by much…
My role here is safe for another day
The funniest part of this is still the Coors Light mini keg.
One of the commenters on the Des Moines Register story wrote this:
“Okay…I wasn’t going to share this, but I think I must. Here’s the deal: Bob Paxton signed his new contract extension the last working day before the 4th of July weekend. Then, he planned a boat party to celebrate. He hired a friend of his son to snap the photo, waited an appropriate period of time, and sent it—anonymously—to the DMR. Why? Because he knew that, with the new contract, they’d have to buy him out for big bucks! He was only hoping for $200K, but they offered $400K…he thought, “what the hell!”, and took it.
And you guys think this man is dumb?
Oh, and Bob…please don’t get mad at me for tattling on you. If you’d have given me the 10% “finder’s fee” I asked for, no one would have needed to know!
Interesting allegation. He does very little wrong and gets paid off big time after resigning.
My B.S. meter always goes off with commenters though, because I know what a bunch of liars you guys are 
Offtopic:
Has Chad Johnson’s name changed officially on anyone’s fantasy football roster?
/Offtopic
@ Dave MN- Nope, I still have Chad Johnson.
You can see even more of his chiseled physique in the full-blown shot. Sweet.
Seriously, what? Is there something on my face?
Speaking of B.S., please stop pretending you guys were all beer snobs in college. If I have to hunt down photos of you drinking Busch Draft in cans or doing keg stands on a Party Ball (if that’s physically possible), I will, because I know they exist.
Ace and Gary read Brandon’s comments, find nothing wrong with them, and nod in silent agreement.
AZGG: You can try, but I didn’t really drink beer until I started liking Killian’s late in college (it was a perfect compliment to the Buffalo Chicken Nachos at Bobby Z’s in Dinkytown).
So, if disliking beer entirely made me a beer snob, then so be it.
However, there probably are pictures of me floating around with a gigantic captain and coke or some other drink I can’t really imagine consuming now.

Those party balls weren’t quite that sturdy, if I remember correctly. They burned pretty sweet when you threw them in the bonfire, though.

Point taken, Dave. I’m in no position to judge, as my first buzz was off wine cooler from 2-liter bottles, and cherry vodka mixed with Mountain Dew. Makes my teeth and gut rot simultaneously thinking about it now.

How about this mix:
20 oz. bottle of Cherry Coke consumed to about the halfway point
refill with 5 oz. Captain Morgan
and 5 oz. Seagram’s Seven Crown Whiskey
Drink until you can’t feel feelings
cherry vodka mixed with Mountain Dew.
Early drinking experiments: the fore bearers of Code Red.
I’m actually becoming less of a beer snob as I get older. I drink Coors Light all the time these days.
I’m thinking it’s due to the fact that I immediately gained about 50 pounds when I discovered Summit.
While in college I only drank busch when nothing else was avilable to me. I would usually by six packs of random imports to start my night, before heading to the bar where I would then proceed to get drunk on what ever was presented to me. My roommate and I tried approx. 50 different beers in one semmester. This was also the brief period Moxie and I were not together, so I had alot of free time and money.

Funny how they coincide.
I great combination is a 20 oz of Corona mixed with a shot of Bicardi Limon (works better than a lime).
That should say A not I.

And it’s alcohol, which is way better than fruit. Unless, of course, it’s fruit soaked in alcohol.
Is the Summit Oktoberfest at the State Fair all that everyone’s making of it? I’m going tomorrow and need to know how much money to bring.

When I was single, I damn near went broke. Maybe I was doing it wrong.

It’s better than everything else on tap at the Fair. I think it’s $6.25 per large beer (20 oz.)
Surly does have a beer on tap in the Coliseum (at the Made in Minnesota stand), but it is their wheat offering (CynicAle) and is not my favorite by any means. A good wheat beer though, if that’s what you’re looking for.
I can’t speak for the State Fair version, but the bottled Oktoberfest is terrific.
That said, I am unaware of its availability in mini kegs that are in close proximity to mega cut community college deans and the waiting mouths of willing coeds.

Your next huntdown?
My alcohol replacing non-alcoholic suggestion?
Amaretto sour, using Mike’s Hard Lemonade instead of sour. Mighty tasty, mighty intoxicating.
From Fox News:
“He previously defended the photograph, saying the keg shown was broken and wasn’t dispensing beer.”
Who would have guessed that Robert Paxton was a graduate of Eden Prairie High School?
I think it’s appropriate that ICCC spells “ick.”
DAVE MN: if in south mpls you can get Summit Oktoberfest @ Busters for $4/glass
He shaves (waxes) his chest. In Iraq that’ll get you killed.
I think I may have mentioned this in passing, but in my misguided youth I once put a jolly rancher into a Zima because it didn’t taste enough like a wine cooler. Now they call it Smirnoff Ice Grape.
Hadn’t read this thread until now. Priceless.
Guy looks like vladimir putin.
