"I Told You My Beer Tasted Funny"

Baylor University has had some troubles in the past with their basketball team, including the murder of Baylor basketball player Patrick Dennehy by his teammate, the suspicious conduct following the murder along with egregious NCAA violations that led to the resignation of the head coach Dave Bliss and the school's athletic director, and the forfeiture of games and post-season appearances. These events prompted the NCAA to take the unprecedented step of allowing all players to transfer to another school without penalty. This on top of having fired a coach and being sanctioned by the NCAA for previous violations less than 10 years earlier.

So when I heard that an assistant football coach pissed on a bar, I can't help but think that the school must be somewhat relieved (no pun intended) that it wasn't something more serious:

“While we were kicking everybody out, he apparently thought that nobody was looking and whipped it out and (urinated) on the bar,” [bartender Danny] Severe said. “He tried to deny it, but there was definitely a puddle and there was no one else around him.”

So many jokes, so little time. Despite speculation by some that athletes would be treated more harshly than staff, said assistant coach has now been suspended indefinitely for his actions.

The football players know enough not to do this, but the staff doesn't. Isn't that interesting. I do think Baylor needs to run a tighter ship over there, though. Given their past, anyone on the staff who acts up should be fired pending confirmation that what is alleged actually occurred. There is no way that they're ever going to replace their negative image with a positive one unless they start becoming better judges of character.
