It’s a colloquialism. It’s typically referred to in the context of “getting your cheeks ran.”
It’s lewd, but search “run them cheeks” on urban dictionary and see what pops up.
From The Athletic:
“What Northwestern’s coaches knew, and what lengths they did or didn’t go to in order to halt the misconduct, became a flashpoint during Walker’s time. Lamitte says coaches knew about the loofah line because players referenced it in the skits they performed for the team and...
My co-host saw people leaving the locker room when it was going on. I’m doubt there was a formalized opt-out process lol, but some people just left because they have lower tolerance for that kind of behavior.
Impossible to say.
Great question! I’ll ask Lena and get back to you.
Yes, and I...
My (Kiara) opinion is as follows: Fitz almost certainly knew that about running was going on, but did not look at it as hazing. Would I bet my life? No. I can’t get into his head. But it was not a secret practice within the program. It was not something people whispered about. It wasn’t...
Thank you! It was very scary because I (Kiara) love this program so much, I really do. So I was hesitant to be critical, but as long as I’m speaking the truth, then I have nothing to be fearful of.
If Fitz or any coach called me today and invited me over for dinner, I’d be on a flight to...
Thanks for the question.
At the time, I (Kiara) thought of it as horseplay. Every time I heard someone talk about it whether it be players or staff, they were laughing. So as someone who never witnessed the practice, but heard of it extensively, I thought it was something playful.
We...
Yes, it was a family environment. It wasn’t lip service. We had Thanksgivings together. We lived together. It’s hard to not become super close under those circumstances. Fitz always had an open door policy for anyone who didn’t have a place to go for the holiday.
Like other football teams, guys...
I worked for the program for four seasons and I learned about running during my first year with the team. Some players opted out of the practice entirely. Some players looked forward to participating in it. But some players had an issue with it. We discussed this extensively during on the...
We had a ton of insight into what happened in the locker room. We worked directly across from the locker room. Our male colleagues were in the locker room on a daily basis and we spoke to them every day. We typically knew which players were traveling on road games before they even knew.
As...
Kiara, here.
I can unequivocally state that I never witnessed or experienced any racism from Northwestern athletes or any full-time staff members or coaches. I have no reason to suspect that Fitz would tolerate, condone, or perpetuate racism.
It was deeply offensive when Mike Freeman wrote...
Positive quote about NU and Fitz = true
Negative quote about NU and Fitz = false
Is this an intellectually honest standard to hold yourself to, CoralSprings?
