I read Darrin Cline’s article in the Daily, and I’m extremely disappointed that an article like that would be published. In my opinion, a college that holds so much pride in its “Cyclone Nation” and “Hilton Magic” should not be publishing articles that give ALL athletic teams such a bad reputation. A good journalist should touch on the counter-argument. Cline failed to mention the football team shopping for and wrapping gifts for families who couldn’t afford them during holiday season. Or how the entire athletic program gives back to the community.

If Cline had 6:45 a.m. workouts, two or three classes before noon, and practice at 1 p.m., I’d like to see what kind of clothes he would be wearing. Coming from personal experience, since that’s my schedule, I would say it’s completely acceptable to be wearing sweatpants.

I’m hoping positive Daily articles about the athletes and awesome fans keep coming, but articles like Cline’s don’t do anything but put a damper on Cyclone Nation.
