Why Is Everyone Freaking Out About Steve Sarkisian Wanting to F*&%ing Fight On

Here at TCD we’re about three things: Babes 💋 Booze 🍺 and Ball Games 🏈. Steve Sarkisian covers two of the three in the past week (sorry for passive aggressively implying that you’re not a babe, Sark #GoCougs!)

ANYWAYS…

On Saturday, August 22nd Sarkisian allegedly mixed prescription medication and alcohol and yelled a long string of profanities before he was pulled off stages, resulting in him embarrassing himself in the public eye.

Here’s a video of the best clip of the speech…

I don’t know about everyone else, but I’ve seen a dude (or five) embarrass themselves at many a frat party back in my day. The only difference between that and Sarkisian, is that he is in the public eye (being the HEAD COACH at USC) and frat stars simply aren’t. Being in the public eye at almost all times requires you to really keep your sh!t together.

But here’s what gets me: SO F*&%ING WHAT! If anyone else was to go out and get plastered and string together choice words, I’m pretty sure you wouldn’t hear people making a big deal about it (unless someone dare say anything politically incorrect… But I digress). Yes he’s in the spotlight, yes he’s a role model for younger men (and women), yes he has an example to set, yes I’m sure he has university guidelines he has to follow, but at the end of the day, he’s only human!

While I do believe it was the wrong place and wrong time to say these things, what are you going to do? We can debate, and debate, and debate; we can argue about how he has a problem, how he needs to go to rehab; we can go as far as saying he needs to be fired. Apparently it has come to light that Sarkisian is also going through a divorce and man, we know that’s tough. It may not be an excuse but it should be enough for people to give the poor guy some slack.

At the end of the day, Steve Sarkisian is just like you and me. A dude who loves to get his booze on and fight on. Just like Miley Cyrus (LOL) says, “everybody makes mistakes, everybody has those days.”

WE NEED TO GET OVER IT. Even though let’s face it, this may or may not have occurred because he’s a former UW Husky… What? Who said that?

Sarkisian issued an apology Tuesday, and also stated that he will not being consuming ANY alcohol during the 2015 season. We’ll see how long that lasts… Either way, good luck with that, Sark. We all know the Cougs wouldn’t be so concerned with this BS because let’s be real #WinOrLoseCougsStillBooze.

Penn State Head Coach, James Franklin Hand Delivers Season Tickets to Holders

With all the wrath surrounding Penn State in the past few years, we have decided that James Franklin is just being the guy we all know and love. I’m sorry it took you this long to notice. With Coach Franklin being a Pennsylvania native, what a great thing it is that he gets to continue coaching the team he grew up watching.

You know what makes us love him more? He gets named Penn State’s head coach in 2014 and knows exactly what the old-money program that Nittany Nation needs… A man. A man that stands up and acknowledges the history of the Lions. A man that is not afraid to understand that he is just a football coach. A man who decides to HAND DELIVER (yes, hand deliver…) the season tickets to the season ticket holders.

This man took time out of his daily life to surprise the season ticket holders with their tickets while being escorted in a Penn State van with Penn State cheerleaders. Let’s just say that Thursday, July 16, 2015 was a hell of a day for season ticket holders in Pennsylvania.

Not only is he an all-around great family man, he has the coach-fan relationship thing down to a tee. And plus, it’s not like he’s new at this coaching thing. He spent 2011-2013 as the head coach at Vanderbilt and previously has worked for programs such as Kansas State, Green Bay, Maryland, Washington State, and the list goes on. His current record stands at 31-21 with three bowl wins.

On top of all this, Franklin will be throwing out the first pitch at the Phillies game at Citizen’s Bank Park this Thursday July 30th. Love it!

Four for you James Franklin! You go James Franklin!

Exclusive! MCM: Connor Halliday

Wishing this Monday you could take a holiday? Well, we can’t give you the day off but we can give you a little HALLIDAY to brighten your day. 😉

That’s right baby! It’s another TCD Man Crush Monday!

This week we give you college QB stud, Connor Halliday!

Halliday went to Washington State University to play quarterback for the Cougs and boy were the Cougs fortunate to have him! As a junior in 2013, he started all 13 games setting multiple records including Pac-12 and WSU records with 449 completions and 714 attempts. In the game against Oregon, he broke Drew Brees‘ record for pass attempts in a game with 89. His 4,597 yards were also a school record and his 34 touchdowns tied Ryan Leaf for most in school history. 

As a senior he would complete something no other NCAA quarterback has done. On October 4 in their game against Cal, Halliday set the NCAA FBS passing yardage record by passing for 734 yards. SAY WHAAA?!

Halliday signed with Redskins this year, but has since made a statement that he will be retiring. We’ll be sad not to watch this entertaining QB out on the field, but we’re glad we got to see you impress in college!

Check out what Halliday told TCD this week and prepare to swoon at his proudest moment. #sopresh
