Am I the only one who has no problem with this? This makes ESPN’s front page? Knickerbocker, please!
Everyone is in an uproar and The Des Moines Register is calling for the head of Iowa State’s Mens Basketball Coach because he was photographed at a party with a beer in hand and kissing a girl on the cheek. Listen, if you were 47 years old, single, and you’re stuck in Iowa, wouldn’t you go party with hot college girls too? Call me a pig but hell, I would.
Sure, it’s kind of sad that he’s old and still thinks he can party with college chicks but if he wants to hang out, have a few beers and get friendly with the natives, there’s no harm in that. The Register questioned if he could be the leader for the basketball team again. I’m thinking the only problem with regard to this is that he didn’t actually do the horizontal hokey pokey (that we know of). If I’m a basketball player and my coach is living like Mitch from Old School, I’ve got newfound respect for him.
What’s the big deal? It’s not like he was sleeping with one of his players! How many college professors sleep with their students? According to my estimate, about 90%. At least, that’s what I’m lead to believe in the letters to the editor in that magazine I get…wait…nevermind about that.
Should I get some Free Eustachy T-Shirts made up?
