BLIND ITEM, OR WHY YOU SHOULD ALWAYS BRING A TOWEL
Blind item! Names and conference deleted to protect the innocent!
My dad works at a bank with about 2 or 3 guys that were/used to be [conference deleted] officials. They said that they always would have a meeting before the game with the two head coaches just to run over everything real quick. Apparently, [coach's name] would walk in completely naked and sit in a chair during the whole meeting and act like it was normal. This happened to them a few times and then the next time they had to officiate a [university] game, [coach's name] came in with a towel on. After the meeting, they found out that some other officiating crew had complained to the [conference deleted] front office and they said that he had to wear at least a towel from now on to the meetings. Pretty gross.
Right now, we just cast you in your own little private Saw. Choose one, and suffer pain no matter what happens. Also, further proof of Douglas Adams being the single greatest mind of his time in stating the two basic rules of the universe applying to any situation: 1. Don’t panic, and 2. Always bring a towel. If only the participants had adhered to these, we’d all be so, so much happier right now.

I heard this exact sames story about a year ago, and the redacted names were Big 12 Conference and Mark Mangino. And if ever EDSBS had use for a nightmare fuel tag, this would be it.

Counter Trap says:
OK–we’re working in the past tense. This could have only happened in the SEC, Big 8 or Southwest Conference pre-internet.
So, it was Switzer or it WAS/IS internet age material and we are talking GIGGITY-level crazy. It could ONLY be one of those two.

Just the type of mind bending trick Woody Hayes would dream up.
He once started the first coaches meeting of the season with a four hour speech about Mao Tse Tung. Then he handed out tests to see if his coaches would listen to what he said no matter what.
Slugging an opposing player during a game was just the last straw, guys.

Mangino,since fat guys avoid clothes til the last minute to avoid drenching the velour tracksuit with buckets o’ sweat….especially coaches who are fat and wake up sweating….it could be 60 degrees and he would look like he has been doing cardio for 2 hours.
