Everyone who hasn't clicked this link yet, stop what you're doing RIGHT NOW and watch it. It's incredible, and I can't wait to learn the story behind it.
But I have no idea why it's in
this thread.
EDIT: The articles I've found about it are critical of the
coach, not of the reporter. Sportswriters are calling the coach sexist, irrational, and embarrassing to the school and the conference.
Am I nuts? Or are sportswriters just defending one of their own? Does this topic deserve its own thread?

I think the video is hilarious but the coach is obviously a moran. He basically compares his 21-year-old quarterback to a 5-year-old fat kid who runs home to mommy after not being picked for a team on the playground.
He also says over and over that "75%" of the article is false, then refuses to name even one fact from the article that is false. The examples he brings up weren't actually in the article.
AND... he brought this on himself by refusing to answer any questions about who was going to start at QB, and why. Reporters have deadlines and they have to write something.

Actually, I thought the coach made some points that were quite valid about the treatment of amateur athletes. I'm not saying I agree with everything he said, but his anger was not misplaced IMO.
