    You aren't actually being serious are you?

    Funyuns, I don't do Cheetos, it ain't easy bein cheesy and it ain't easy getting that orange shit off your fingers either.

    But, back to Charlie Strong, was a huge deal made of all of this? Sounds like something the liberal media would have a field day with.

    what the fuck?

    Texas can pretty much get whoever they want. They have that much money to throw around.

    Obviously they would have taken Saban first and foremost. They made a solid hire.

    [quotis="kcal, post: 1376585, member: 6227"]"Charlie Strong, the African-American defensive coordinator who kept the Sooners far below their 54 points a game average, made an even louder statement when he declared that despite all of his success at Florida, he has been passed over for head coaching positions because of his interracial marriage.
    “Everybody always said I didn’t get that job because my wife was white,” Strong told a columnist for the Orlando Sentinel. He added, “If you think about it, a coach is standing up there representing the university. If you’re not strong enough to look through that (interracial marriage) then you have an issue.”

    I know Black coaches with a White Wife, Mike Singletary, he does, hasn't hurt him with jobs. In football you want a good coach, he does his job, gives no problems off the field and the Head Coach is pleased. I have no problem with this.

    How about Vince?
