Hey Guys.

Don't blast me here, because I AM a State fan. Graduated from MSU in 97.

I am reading too many posts here about how this is "great" and "hilarious" and to some degree I can see your point as it relates to Ole Miss, but remember, AK is an individual who has worked hard to be an SEC coach and his bad decision- making could cost him his career. During the Christmas season especially, I hate to see personal attacks on individuals and their misfortunes. AK is probably going to lose his job and possibly become "damaged goods" and may not coach again.

Also, this kind of publicity is terrible for Mississippi. It is not going to help us and it is sure not going to help Ole Miss. Lets move on to our game tonight and not dwell on AK. Show Ole Miss that we have class and let it go.

AK made a bad decision and it is going to cost him, so I feel sorry for him right now..

...and I'll admit to a very small bias. While AK & I haven't met, we are distantly related, and our fathers were slightly (very slightly) acquainted.

....I sure feel sorry for Mr. Six figures losing his job right before Christmas. Wifey might not get that new Hummer. Give me a break. There really are people to pity in this world, but AK is way down the list.

a keen interest in your son attending Mississippi State on a basketball scholarship. We see him starting as a freshman and a 6'11, 275 pound center would be dominant in our conference. Excuse me? Interested in what? Ole Miss? Yes, I understand he's being recruited by quite a few teams in the SEC and..mam? What do I know about Andy Kennedy?

I don't believe Andy Kennedy will lose his job. I'll bet the charges are eventually dropped.

Also, right or wrong, THIS IS FACT. All racial slurs are not considered equal in this country. A white coach using a racial slur against a Pakistani is not treated the same publicly as a white coach using a racial slur against an African-American. A black coach using a racial slur against a white is also not treated the same.

...because, figuratively speaking, that is part of his job description.

Therefore when he begins acting like an assclown, he is setting himself for public ridicule, and for public opinion judgements.

Once he begins acting like a true father figure & role model again, then maybe we can cut him some slack.

Until then he deserves being treated like the village idiot.

He's a man in the public eye. He should know how to act. For a million dollars a year, I could avoid the temptation to beat up on 25 year old cab drivers. That being said, I'm sorry, but I can't be "sorry" for him. Hotty Toddy!!

I believe Osama locked him in his cab and that is called attempted kidnapping. I'd beat the crap out of anyone who was trying to lock me in a car.

Calling timeout with 10 seconds left in the game, behind by one and a fast break developing is a "bad decision." Hanging out in a restaurant/bar at 1:30 the morning of a game is an idiotic choice for which you should be ridiculed.
