We've got to give credit to Herm's Perm for doing the legwork (and possibly some handwork) on this story. Because they went to high school with Mejia, they wanted to track his college football career.

Initially committed to Northern Illinois, he transferred to FCS Missouri State and then Kansas State. But when he didn't show up on the Wildcats rosters, a helpful tipster sent them a link to a website. An adults-only website. Where someone bearing a striking resemblance to Mejia plays a starring role.

I won't give the link, but here's the description of this specific escapade:

A couple of beers and a game of spin the bottle leads to hot girl-on-girl action and the whole room fucking like champs...one dude even eats a slice of pizza while getting head!

Damn. Well, K State has confirmed that Mejia's no longer with the team, and his Facebook status (before he set it to private) read:

fuck all the haters, you're only young once, live with no regrets, i got paid 1500 and a free trip to miami so fuck you guys HAHAHAHAHA."

So who knows? I can't say with certainty if this is really him, but I'm in no danger of ruining his life by reporting this. If anything, I'm running the risk of making him the most awesome guy on campus.

Kellis Robinett was born in Texas, lives in Nebraska and went to school in Lawrence. So he's the perfect candidate to cover K-State, right? Well, Wildcat fans don't think so. Robinett put his first post on the Eagle's K-State blog and some of the diehards were less than thrilled.

Is this a joke Wichita Eagle? ....

Are you serious??? A UK grad??? Hard to believe that the people predicting the ultimate demise of the UK Star may be correct based upon decisions like this. Did the leadership (and I say this tongue-in-cheek) of the UK Star Sports/Wichita Eagle not understand that this decision could create issues leading to few subscriptions? I just got my renewal in the mail yesterday. Guess what Star? It's over. ...

This biased reporter has written blog posts for Jayhawk fan sites absolutely trashing the school, it's coaches, and their fans. It's sad that they forced J-Mart out just to replace him with a KU fan who I doubt will show any journalistic integrity or neutrality. I won't be reading this blog, or the KC Star ever again. Disgusting. ...

I would rather have no coverage of K-State than to have a hack like you do it. ...

Good heavens. You are the prick that predicted Montana State to win in Manhattan [Ed. Note: KSU won 69-10] defended racist comments from KU players and had a KU blog. Goodbye Eagle. Had a subscription for 30 years. This is the final straw. ...

I have been reading the Wichita Eagle for over 50 years and if you are still here monday, I WILL CANCEL THE PAPER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ...

This is a disgrace to Dr. Pepper imo. ...

Kellis, don't take this too personal, but it appears that you are an obviously ku biased hack.

Why would he take that personally? Anyway, the comments go on like that for awhile. Since everyone seems think that bloggers are all sarcastic assholes, perhaps this is the perfect hire. Many online fans are hypercritical of their favorite teams—if they aren't unabahsed homers—so maybe more hate is the answer. Who can better sympathize with a self-loathing Wildcat fan than an actual loathing Jayhawk?

I'm here … Now let's get started [Wichita Eagle Blogs]

Early Thursday evening, someone nicknamed SabiNation left what he claimed was Aldrich's cell phone number on the KSUFans message board. With the Wildcats and Jayhawks scheduled to go at it on Saturday afternoon, Kansas State fans took the opportunity to call and text Aldrich their best wishes. Aldrich was not amused.

The Kansas center returned at least one of the calls, and left the following message. At least this is supposed to be him; many KSU message boarders swear it's authentic. Here ya go.

For the YouTube impaired:

"Yo what's up, this is Cole Aldrich talking back. Yeah, I got your message. I can't wait to come to Manhattan and dunk the ball all over you motherfuckers. It will be the greatest day in Kansas basketball history. I can't wait to go in there and fucking drop 20-10 on you goddamned motherfuckers. See you there, bitch." *end of message*

So yeah, if any of you goddamned motherfuckers can further authenticate this, please give us a shout. At any rate, Saturday's game should be fun.

UPDATE: Deadspin commenter HochuliApology writes: Rick: That was Cole Aldrich. My friend Ali, a KSU grad was the guy who helped rile him up. The number is xxx-xxx-xxxx. I am trying to get out of him what exactly he said, he told me the number is going around like wildfire.

Sorry, not going to show the phone number here. But if you beg HochuliApology, he'll probably give it to you.

Meanwhile, another reader says the YouTube clip is a fake. You can hear Cole Aldrich in a KU press conference here. You be the judge.

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA TROJANS

1. At Guard, Super Dave Osborne. One of the keys to last season's surprising Sweet Sixteen run was then-freshman Daniel Hackett's aggressive tournament play: He was all over the place, grabbing boards, causing turnovers, ending Kevin Durant's college career earlier than expected. The dude doesn't know how to turn it off ... which has caused some problems this year. In late September during a pretty physical pickup game, he took an elbow to the face from O.J. Mayo (or did Mayo deck him?), which resulted in his jaw being broken in three places and having to be wired shut. He came back six weeks later, happy only to need a protective mouthpiece. ("A mask, it shows weakness," Hackett said, sounding like an ancient kung-fu master.) Then at the end of January, he suffered a stress fracture in his lower back while diving for a ball in a game against Arizona. He was supposed to be done for the year, but he was back playing a month later.

2. Kids These Days. USC's six main contributors are freshmen and sophomores. Not surprisingly, this season has been an abject lesson in what it's like to root for a young team that's all enthusiasm and inexperience. They looked awesome beating UCLA on its home court in January and Stanford on March 8, but their thin bench and inability to keep their poise resulted in two tank jobs against Washington State and tough losses to Memphis and Kansas early in the season. After getting embarrassed in their season opener against lowly Mercer, the Trojans have mostly avoided playing down to their competition, but they're only 3-7 against Top 25 teams. So what does all that mean? Don't pick the Trojans to be the victims of a first-round upset special, but don't have 'em going too far in your bracket, either.

3. Get Me Outta Here. Depending on whom you ask, freshman O.J. Mayo (20.9 ppg), freshman Davon Jefferson (12.0 ppg) and sophomore Taj Gibson (11.0 ppg, 2.5 blocks/game, 7.7 rebounds/game) are all likely to be leaving for the NBA after this season. A lot of that will shake out once their tournament run ends, but there are also reports that Romeo-loving coach Tim Floyd could be out the door, too. Floyd keeps insisting USC will be his last job, and Mayo talks about enrolling in summer classes, but this is life in L.A. in the shadow of the UCLA Bruins, Los Angeles Lakers and Trojan football team: Ultimately, nobody's paying attention to the USC basketball program and you're always looking for a better opportunity somewhere else. — Tim Grierson

KANSAS STATE WILDCATS

1. Beas-who? One wonders how Kansas State University, a school that has lacked a dominance on the hardwood in recent years, manage to resurrect Jesus Christ himself in the form of a 6-foot-10, 235-forward from the Washington D.C. area. Well, Michael Beasley was coached by in an AAU summer league and originally committed to Charlotte for Dalonte Hill. Hill was offered an assistant job under Bob Huggins prior to last season which, in turn, brought Beasley to Kansas State. After Huggins' departure, Kansas State was quick to hire Huggins' second-in-command Frank Martin, who left Hill on staff. In related news, the two favorite teams to cheer for in Manhattan, Kans., are the Kansas State Wildcats and whoever West Virginia is playing. With that being said, Bob Huggins is still a raging alcoholic asshole and wildcat nation is still a little bitter about his departure.

2. A Favorite Tradition Is A Song About A Fictional Train. Without being redundant, the Wabash Cannonball is a song about a fictional train and one of the best parts of Kansas State athletics. It's important to Kansas State fans because in 1968 Nichols Hall, the music building, burned to the ground and the only piece of music left was "The Wabash Cannonball." The following day the Wildcats had a game against Syracuse and using borrowed instruments, the band played this song, and only this song. Since then it has been a staple of all sporting events and includes a dance where the students rock back and forth to the beat, but each person alternates direction... oh screw explaining it, just watch it yourself.

3. Who Know Coaches Were Artistic? The current visual representation of Kansas State University is the purple powercat logo. Kansas State has seen a lot of visual changes over it's years, but the biggest celebrity in Manhattan, Kans., Bill Snyder, was partially the mastermind behind the purple powercat logo that now adorns everything relating to Kansas State. He helped design the logo with local Tom Bookwalter and made a permanent impact in the Little Apple worthy of having the two highways leading to the city renamed in his honor, oh, and it helped that he turned around the worst football program in Division I at the time. — Travis Hudson

Last night, late in K-State's loss to Oregon, Walker was needed on the floor. But he had to go. So he did what he had to do: He pissed in a towel.

With just seconds left in regulation and K-State lined up to inbound the ball and run a last second play, Bill Walker was overcome with an urge too strong to control. he stepped to the sideline and relieved himself with several towels.

You thought the job of collegiate equipment manager was bad. But you had no idea.

Towel Relief [Kansas City Star]

Far be it from us to understate the importance of the NIT — no place is more dangerous than Crisler Arena in mid-March! — but during the Kansas State-DePaul game the other night, an injured Wildcat sat on the bench eating popcorn. Hey, nice seats if you can get 'em; pass my change back from the vendor, if you could.

Boy, That NIT Action Sure Is Exciting [Awful Announcing]

Anyway, it turns out that one of Huggins' new charges in Little Manhattan has been booted off the team after showing up on the Kansas Bureau of Investigation's registered sex offender database. According to The Kansas City Star, his name hit the iist on May 25; much to the benefit of some poor souls, his name is not "Eddie Johnson." It's "Tyler Hughes."

Hughes is a senior in his third year on the team, so he can't be placed in Huggins' lap. (So to speak.) But we still think somehow, Huggins will find a place for him. Perhaps as his driver?

(UPDATE: Looks like Hughes' crime was (gulp) AGGRAVATED INDECENT LIBERTIES W/CHILD. You know what? Those ARE aggravating. Very much so.)
