Iowa quarterback C.J. Beathard was named starter after replacing Jake Rudock against Tennessee during the TaxSlayer Bowl and apparently thought now would be a good time to refine his image.

Beathard had been known for his long blonde hair that he said took him three years to grow, but now those locks are going to Wigs for Kids, a nonprofit organization that provides hair replacement for children undergoing chemotherapy or radiation therapy, or suffering from Alopecia, Trichotillomania, burns and other medical issues.

Just my personal opinion, but Beathard seems to rock hipster way better than hippy.

And it should play well with all the television cameras now that Beathard is face of the Iowa program and the hope for the first season with more than eight wins since 2009.
