Coach K vs. The Econ Major

because Manish Mehta

 

You really don't know how personally some people in the South take this stuff, do you?

Remember how long-standing, beautiful trees were poisoned? Because of a football rivalry. Think they wouldn't harm someone over crap like that?

 

I saw Johnny Majors get hit by a full cup of soda and ice from a fan while walking through the end zone "T" after the Vols lost to Bama in 1992. That was UT's seventh straight loss to them. Fans were yelling all kinds of nasty shit at Majors and then the cup, soda and ice hit him in the shoulder, chest and head.

Majors kept walking. Fans previously pissed at Majors now turned on the soda-thrower, and pointed out the offender to a trooper and UT officials walking with Majors. I think they let him go without any charges. Majors shrugged it off but was rattled about it.

I've always wondered about the costs to send multiple state troopers with coaches at home and on the road. Seems like the university would pay for security. Fans get crazy about their coaches, though, and always have.

 

Alan Cockrell was hit by a folding chair at a UT home game.

 

Knight also bragged about all the war histories and biographies of famous generals he had read. Too bad those authors didn't learn to write by the fourth grade and then move onto other things. He might have actually read a book about something other than war.

 

You could be surrounded by an army of state troopers and it won't stop someone from throwing a cup of ice from the stands.

 

Was this reporter an Econ major?

Boeheim derides reporter over height, credibility

 

"And I kept standing six-feet-one,
"Instead of five-feet-two,
"And I loved my life,
"And I hated you ..."

Yes, I remember Liz Phair ... even though I'm sure Jim Boehiem doesn't.

 

He can feel it in his bones ...

 

It’s true that I stole your lighter
And it’s also true that I lost the map
But when you said I wasn’t worth talking to
I had to take your word on that

 

Phair's first album had some great lyrics on it.
Continuing from the same song:

"And the license said you had to stick around until I was dead,
But if you're tired of looking at my face,
I guess I already am."
