Fantastic Rant

Just a bit of background here. The Quarterback for the Oklahoma State football team was demoted to backup since things were not working well. A member of the media wrote some not nice things about the quarterback in an article about the team. The coach got mad since since his players are amateur players and called a press conference.

I think what the coach does is fantastic. Many of these guys look to the coach as a father figure since, sadly, they didn't have one growing up and this guy is defending his guy. He even talks about his players as if they are his children. Anyway, I applaud this guy for doing what he did, maybe he could have done it differently, but it will hopefully remind the next writer about to write mean things about a college player that they are indeed amateurs and they do need to be treated differently.

Listen at the end for the applause from the people as he leaves. I'm not the only one who agrees with the coach.
