Cowards?

[AUownsU]

I really don't get what the big deal is. I understand Auburn is 8-1 and this the kinda shit the media starts to circulate when Auburn starts to look like it will threaten the updykes but lets be honest. PFD remarks about Mosely and Frazier pail in comparison to the stuff that was said about them last year by pretty much the entire fanbase. And lets not even bring up the guy who has 25+ starts at MLB with 3 different DC's pretty much telling us he is our best option. Im not climbing up on a high horse just pointing out the obvious. And yes I know the guys name is on the field. However I also know if it was  me or even my son suiting up I could probably handle an old  former coach who has been known to put his foot in his mouth from time to time say something bad about me rather than having a majority of the fanbase on the internet talk shit about me constantly. No need throw PFD under the Gus Bus for shit the entire fanbase does.

Yes but will we get to hear how Corch Dye lost his shorts on lake Martin?

I suspect a swarm of bees attacked the corch but he doesn't remember how it happened. I can't remember the specific details of each time I've lost my pants either. I mean, come on. You can't remember every single mundane part of a boat ride.

Not to worry! Evan Woodberry to provide context!

Pat Dye’s full comments on Auburn’s ‘cowards’ at quarterback in 2012

KNOXVILLE, Tennessee — Former Auburn coach Pat Dye‘s inflammatory comments to the Knoxville Quarterback Club on Monday caused only a ripple of interest here.

But in Alabama,  Dye’s words were big news.

There wasn’t much context to Dye’s comments on Auburn’s quarterbacks in 2012. I’m told his talk was somewhat rambling. But we asked Gage Arnold, our intern who was covering the event, to transcribe the full passage from Dye’s comments.

“We had two last year — Mr. Footballs….Cut that thing off a minute… (laughter)…You got it off?”

(Dye is speaking to a TV reporter with a camera in the back of the room.)

“We had two last year and they both were cowards. Cowards. How can you win with a coward at quarterback? Now one of them might have been a coward mentally, and there’s a difference between being a coward mentally and a coward physically. If you’re a coward physically you’ve got no chance to overcome that, but you can grow up from being a coward mentally. But it didn’t happen so we had no chance.”

Dye, who turns 74 today, won four SEC titles at Auburn from 1981 to 1992. The field at Jordan-Hare Stadium is named in his honor.

AL.com columnist Kevin Scarbinsky wrote Dye had attached “one of the worst insults imaginable to young men who suited up for (his) school.”

Dye told AL.com that he had apologized privately to Kiehl Frazier, one of three quarterbacks on last year’s team.

Frazier’s dad accepted the apology.

@AUQBDad
Coach Dye is a great man. Forgiveness will never be withheld when sought in earnest. I've needed many second chances. Everyone move on.

That wasn’t the only interesting thing that Dye said on Monday.

On the 2012 team as a whole:

“I’ve been in football since 1952, started playing in eighth grade in 1952 and 2012 was the worst year in my football life at Auburn. I’ve never been sick of seeing kids quit.”

On Arkansas and Bret Bielema:

“You know, Bielema at Arkansas, you know, he needs to keep his mouth shut. I don’t know what it is. He wants to slow the game down, he wants to do this, he wants to do this, he wants to do that…. But anyway, they came out in the swinging gate on a field goal formation and ended up throwing for a first down at the 1-yard line. They didn’t score cause we held them four downs at the 1-yard line.”

Scarbinksy wrote that it’s Dye who needs to watch what he says — or say nothing at all.

“Increasingly, he comes across, not as a legendary former football coach, but as a retired crank who can’t let go of the spotlight. It’s past time for him to let it go, to be admired for what he did, not reviled for what he’s said.”

Were Dye’s quotes “off the record?” The short answer is no. A speaker in front of hundreds of people cannot unilaterally declare something off the record. In this case, Dye didn’t even attempt to do so. He merely asked someone to turn off a camera. The Knoxville Quarterback Club is a widely attended, widely publicized event held in a public place. Media are always present and report on the weekly speaker’s comments.

Here’s an interview conducted with Dye after his speech.

Having seen the context, yes, it was bad coming from a man in his position.

Is it as bad as anything 99% of the fanbase said about the QBs last year and/or Holland this year? No. But Dye, for better or worse, should be above saying shit like that publicly.

Dye told AL.com that he had apologized privately to Kiehl Frazier, one of three quarterbacks on last year’s team.

I bet after this Scarbo asked him if he apologized to Clint.  I also would bet that Dye just responded with a Clint Eastwood level squint and staredown.

Way too many people in this world (that are not women) wear panties.

[Saniflush]

I wish someone would ask Dye about Holland.

[Snaggletiger]

I wish someone would ask Dye about Holland.

Now THAT, I'd like to hear.

Look...it was just that one time.  That hot chick from the gym told me that if I would wear her thongs she would...oh wait.  I agree!

Look, I was young and needed the money.

Look, I just like the way it feels. Makes me feel like a pretty, pretty, princess, ok? Let's not make this a gay thing.

This is none of your concern and I like the look and feel of fishnet.

Just curious but does the lace tickle your balls? The only time I tried to put some on, the lady at Wal-Mart gave me dirty looks whenever I asked where the dressing room was. Started to tell the old bitch to go to hell but since she goes to church with my in-laws, I thought better of it and just left. Didn't need my in-laws to know I cuss like that.

I don't wear them to church but yes, they do tickle some.

I can't answer that for you.

Last word is key!  You hit the nail in the head!  Problem with getting old...your "thought to word filter" malfunctions.  Blame it on being pickled too if you want.  Old fuckers say all kinds of shit they ought not say, or at least ought not say when or where they say it.  Fact that it was/is the truth is not a defense in this case.  What to do about it?  Well, shut the old man up.  Which as been needed at times for a long time.  Don't guess anybody will do that.
