    Furman's Willie Freeman vs App State

    Furman fans are saying that Furman MLB Willie Freeman on the radio supposedly quoted an App State coach as having said Freeman was "too fat and too slow to play at ASU." Freeman also supposedly said the coach will remain un-named.
    If it is true, the ASU coach should be chastised not only for providing locker room material for the Furman players but for being wrong. Not only did he have an all around good game vs App, but tipped what would have been the game winning FG in the last seconds Saturday.

    I am wondering if this did not get all screwed up and maybe the coach was actually talking about my next door neighbor who is really fat and slow and while he does not actually play for Furman has been known to wear a #49 Paladin jersey to the games.

    Naah. I think the "coach" was wearing a paper bag over his head ala. "the unknown comic" when the Furman player talked to him.

    If a coach said that he needs a little more than a good talking to, and I cannot imagine Freeman making it up. Also, I don't blame Freeman for taking the shot.

    But you know sometimes things are said with one intent and taken another way, kinda like posting a not so obvious joke w/o

    I guess I am trying to give the coach the benefit of the doubt for saying something that nobody would believe.

    Can't imagine him making it up either. It's equally hard to believe he would say it on the radio and yet refuse to tell who said it.

    You're right, if a coach said it, he needs more than a talking to. Since nobody but Freeman has a clue who it was, he'll never even get the "talking to."

    I heard it on the post game show too… Gordo was doing the interview of Willie for being the defensive player of the game. Willie talked about how great a qb Richie was and how he tipped the field goal. Then he lit in about the coach. Said he tried to find him after the game to talk to him about it.

    Best I can find out is this happened during film exchange, so the question would be what coach at APP is involved in exchanging film.

    This story was kept hush-hush in Paladin land. And I don't think it will be publicly addessed. End of story.
