Coward hecklers now hit athletes’ Facebook

On any given Saturday, an entire army of drunken college students brings its ensuing witty, smartass remarks. Heckling: True story. It’s the dirty sludge in any NCAA football/basketball game, often spit at our precious student-athletes.

But in today’s modern era of Facebooks, MySpaces, YourSpaces and OurSpaces, the public eye has gained a new, Big Brother perspective into their favorite Big Brother On Campus.

A few new tactics have evolved since such discovery. Prior to the big game on Saturday, some student sections have organized a cult-like massive “poke” on the opposing quarterback on Facebook. Granted, that’s an innocent form of heckling — and kinda creepy, if you really know what poking means. But this, on the other hand, was tasteless and coward-esque way of talking trash behind a computer.

BallHype: hype it up!
