As great as some of the Texas Tech reactions were, this caller from Lubbock might have just crystallized a disconnect that’s existed for decades in college football. Or maybe for centuries, in general life. Listen:
When we’re trying to make sense of all this, you have to remember who these people are that are making these decisions. Ken Hand, Gerald Myers, Guy Bailey… You have to remember, that they live in houses, where there’s no TVs in the living rooms. There’s just big shelves of books, and they listen to NPR radio on a little transistor radio. And they drink Ensure out of a frickin’ straw. They have their food catered to them, and they get a new Cadillac every year.
They don’t live in the real world. They don’t understand what is to be a fan. They sit behind a glass partition and they sit there with their rich little smirks on their faces… So you understand how it was back in Medieval Times, with the Kings and peasants. They don’t care about us!
He goes on from there in similar fashion, and really, it’s all pretty great. The people’s champ!
As he says at the end…
(HT: Hot Clicks, and of course the caller, himself, a Tech fan named Cody, hero to the masses)
