    What is there to suspend him for? He broke no laws, and at first blush I don’t see how this is an NCAA violation. It’s embarrassing, yes, but suspending him for a game or whatnot will only bring more attention to his “art”.

    Me, I’d rather look at Tim Tebow’s girlfriend.

    Sweet Mother of Mercy! I had heard that was just a “hey, you’re Tim Tebow, can I get my picture with you?” photo.

    Beo, they have shared with you “I’m with leather”.

    It is classic sports internet blog lore!

    As a friend of Riley’s for the last 21 years, I can assure you that this is a hoax. While I have not seen the pictures, Riley is a man of integrity and always acts as such- If someone did take pictures of him undressed, I am guessing that it was done either without his knowledge, or in a joking manner and that Riley had no reason not to trust whomever took the pictures. The idea that he would have taken these pictures in an attempt to sell them is utterly proposterous-and anyone who knows Riley will tell you the same.

    Not very smart on his part but probably not a violation. He just looks like an idiot. I opened the link as well…wasn’t prepared for that shot, especially at work.

    ARRRRGGHHH… I have got to quit reading SFN at work. I clicked on the link and up comes this pic. Just about that time one of my direct reports comes into my office. Ok… a little help here… how do I spin this.

    Using keyword ‘naked’ in the title has spurred some interesting google ads…

    Goodness…

    “The question is this รขโ‚ฌโ€ is this better or worse than the tea-bagging Reggie Love got?”

    Dude….TWO things….first off, thanks a LOT for the visual that will FOREVER be burned into my mind….second, had to clean the Guinness off of my computer, so I hope this gets through.

    LMAO…tea bag!

    You see, this is what I like about SFN.

    After a day of anxiously following recruiting info, this was a good laugh to help me through the day.

    Maybe he should be playing for South Carolina instead.

  14. RabidWolf 01/28/2008 at 6:37 PM #

    Or perhaps UNX…..you know how those heifers in Hillsborough go for those naked football types. ๐Ÿ˜‰

    there is absolutely no truth to this picture or to any of the rediculous rumors surrounding it. Anyone who knows riley or who has followed wake forest football knows that he is an outstanding young man – and that he won’t let dumb and immature rumors like this get to him.

    . . . I like it.

    (joke.)

    Wake Forest is in full spin control.

    Whether it is him or not, he will indeed have to deal with it.

  19. highstick 01/28/2008 at 10:02 PM #

    Hoop, that’s Tommy Bowden’s daughter posing nude, i.e. Clempson, nothing to do with South Carolina!

  20. JeremyH 01/28/2008 at 10:22 PM #

    must be a slow news day…

    buttPACKer–really, what is up with your name ANYWAY?

    highstick: I’m talking about the Wake Forest QB.
    Nobody gets the joke. THINK ABOUT IT!! ๐Ÿ™‚

    jeremy,

    don’t ask. . .

    The shame of it is the pics are probably fake. It is so easy these days to crop 2 pics together. No way Skinner would do this on his own unless he is just a complete idiot. Unfortunately he has to defend himself.

    Steve Alford did get busted a long time ago for posing (fully clothed) for a charity calendar, but his presence as a scholarship athlete made it against the rules. No way a player knowingly does this.

    I wish the kid well, and hope he makes it through this. Frankly I am embarrassed for him and ashamed StateFans would run with this.

    Mike, I opened the file in Photoshop and if it is a fake, it is a very, very good one. The reason I know is because I know what seams different edits look like close in in PS (pixel by pixel) thanks to my own photo work and my efforts at trying to disguise flaws that are created in any digital edit. I am just not finding them in the Skinner JPEG. There are no seams, the luminosity and tonal values for the face and the chest are nearly identical and the focus for the face and chest are identical as well.

    The reason I did this was because I am bored by being home sick and also I thought it might make for an interesting blog entry over on my site if I could demonstrate it as a fake. Problem is, I couldn’t, and I’ve got about 20 years of experience with the program.

    This is not like the posting at IC of a photo of TA’s knee being down in that infamous game, there was a lot of evidence of manipulation that I pointed out at the time, only to be ridiculed by UNC fans as being a homer.

    If this is a fake, it is a very, very good one and I would love to take a class from the person who did it if that is the case.

    Thought I heard on radio on way to work yesterday that one of the Wake players was kicked out of school due to threats. Think it was the fullback.

    Any truth/reports on that?
