UF's Tartt Is Unaware of Africa's Many Exports

For a best case scenario, let's hope it goes like this: Jim Tartt, University of Florida lineman, is cruising along the internet, and some of his friends are part of a Facebook group, and he just clicks "Accept Invite" without thinking and moves on to class or practice. For a worst case scenario, you just assume that Tartt really belongs to a Facebook group called "Africa Gives Nothing To The World But AIDS."

Tartt is unaware of Africa's oil, natural gas, and mineral resources exported around the world, but being an anthropology major -- wait, wait. An anthropology major joined a group called "Africa Gives Nothing To the World But AIDS?" Jim, do you know how many white guys in dai-shikis are going to be mad at you in the halls of the Anth department? Good luck getting a fair shake on your finals. The only export you may have to offer is academic ineligibility when your final paper "AIDS: Africa has a Lot of It" gets a flaming 'F' from your profs.

P.S. Facebook is public, student-athletes of the world. It's open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Dumb on the internet for a moment is dumb forever.

What a name…Sunshine Fielder. Is she a stripper?

I don’t see how anyone with a name like Jimbo (and a gf named Sunshine for that matter) would be anything but a worldly and cultured scholar. Who knew?

It’s also funny how these linemen are the ones getting into hot water… like the one Texas lineman that voiced his displeasure over Obama winning the election…

Can someone tell me how they got a pic of Jimbo’s facebook homepage which is only visible to the user? Unless someone had his password or hacked into it, only Jimbo would see that. Soooo is this story a bunch of horse crap or what?

People can set their Facebook settings so that anyone can see them.  It’s how a lot people get into trouble these days.  Go Gators.

Neck, the story isn’t horse crap, as Schrager explained.  Is anyone surprised though?  This is the same guy we all saw kicking an Alabama player who was lying on the ground after the game was over last weekend, class act.

My bad about the facebook settings. I wasn’t thinking right when I posted that. Just a brainfart.

Photoshop was open so the highlighted elements could be added to the screen grab.

Stupid move on his part.  The kick (though more of a leg swing) was deserved since the idiot D-Lineman from Bama shot through the ankles and knees of UF’s Line while they were trying to down the ball.  Want to talk classless, then point your comments at the Bama D-Line.

I’m with Jimbo!  Screw Africa, and screw their AIDS!
