A month ago the University of Iowa made national headlines by ranking No. 1 on The Princeton Review‘s list of America’s “Top Party Schools.” Last week, the school showed why it deserved the “honor.”
During Iowa’s home opening loss to Northern Illinois last weekend, 22-year-old Hawkeye student Samantha Goudie (a.k.a. “Vodka Samm”) blew an amazing .341 on a breathalyzer test.
This wasn’t some internet legend – which was our first thought when we saw Vodka Samm’s famous “blew a .341 in jail” tweet. In this case there’s actually a police report which references the astronomically high reading.
“Goudie, Samantha Lynne, 22 of Iowa City, IA (arrested) for Public Intox at Kinnick Stadium at 1321 hours,” the report noted. “Goudie was stopped for trying to enter the field. Goudie was unsteady on her feet. Goudie blew .341 PBT.”
For those of you keeping score at home, a .341 reading is more than four times the legal blood alcohol limit of .08.
It’s impressive this girl was even alive, let alone live-tweeting her exploits from the jail. For the record, Goudie claimed she wasn’t trying to rush the field – but she did own up to the .341.
“I’m going to get .341 tattooed on me because its so epic,” she tweeted.
Not surprisingly the school’s administration was less-than-enthralled.
“That’s not who we are,” Iowa president Sally Mason told The Des Moines Register in response to Goudie’s exploits. “It’s sad that one student and one student’s behavior shapes the image of 30,000 other students. I feel very, very concerned about the young student that had that level of alcohol in her blood. I’m very concerned for her health, safety and well-being.”
Hmmmm. Better get Dean Wormer on the case …
Anyway, after blowing up Twitter for a week (receiving hundreds of re-tweets, tens of thousands of followers and even a few marriage proposals) Vodka Samm’s account was mysteriously deactivated.
The legend grows, people …

I can see how you might have thought that was a badge number.
Shite. Bet that’s still hung over. 8-0. You’d need the whole dang dog for that. WOW!!
From the linked article:
Iowa president Sally Mason said “The vast majority of our students have expressed concerns to me about the reputational damage that one student can do to all of them,”
Sure they have, lady. Sure they have.
That would be “vastly” north of 15,000 people?
Yeah, TBG has a problem with people (especially those in a position of authority) that just make shit up.
“I’m going to get .341 tattooed on me because its so epic,”
Hopefully she “tattoos” herself onto a tree next time she drives drunk, that would be so epic.
Maybe she can tell her children and grandchildren that .341 was her highest grade point ratio at Iowa. By the way, that officer doesn’t look to good hisself’.
She wasn’t driving… She was trying to get into the game and “appeared unsteady on her feet”.
Although TBG assumes he has never reached the magic .341, he is still thankful that Pickens County Deputies at Memorial Stadium have not been too particular about his ambulation characteristics for the last 30 or so years.
Ahh, you see: there’s the rub. People are being recorded as having BALs that we were all taught years ago would result in a coma, or at least a hospital stay. How is it this 22 year old girl was merely “unsteady on her feet,” which is the rote language used for any alcohol arrest?
Don’t have faith in the machine.
Yep. Surprised they forgot to include “slurred speech” and “glassy eyed”. Although maybe the officer would have felt somewhat hypocritical had he put “glassy eyed” in his report…
There are some DUI lawyers in Iowa salivating over this.
Whoa! The cop looks like he got a contact drunk from the fumes,and they’re ‘related’ ?
Where is that cop’s hand going?
Which hand?
*Asks innocently*
Some easy poontang,there(hey,man.smell my finger!),plus,he’s the only occifer in the pic.Looks like fun times,after the formalities…
Do you know if she’s seeing anyone?
Yes —- triplets!
Pro Tip:
When seeing triple…talk to the one in the middle.
Six tits are better than two. Why pick just one?
“Seeing triple“, not “seeing triplets“.
One talks to the tits in the middle because the ones on each side are only figments of one’s intoxicated optic nerve…
TBG, to his eternal regret, can offer no Pro Tips on “seeing triplets”…
I understand that perfectly, but aren’t there some illusions worth enjoying?
You know, “suspension of disbelief’ is a key component of self enjoyment artistically speaking.
If nothing else, sexual antics with 1 real and 2 imagined women certainly constitute “high art”.
