The strongest southern accent I’ve ever heard was from a German foreign exchange student who had been living in eastern Arkansas for a week.
Brian Kelly -- peak cringe

Not a coach out there that I hate more. I’ve held this view for several years and don’t plan on anything changing.

At least she lived in Arkansas for decades. Pandering and lame? Yes. Slightly less obnoxious? Also yes.
She lives in your head rent free. You know that, right?
As I recall there is a linguistic pattern known as "style shifting", in which people will quickly pick up local words and phrases to quickly fit in. It happened to me when I move to the South, and when I moved back to Iowa I consciously fought rid myself of some of them.

Spent two weeks down in Baton Rouge many years ago. Was talking full blown Cajun by the end of it. Kidding, but not really, definitely caught myself picking up on the local accent.
Next week's practice.
Weird. I guess it helps him fit in,.
It’s funny though, pretty much anywhere else in the world a southern accent is looked down upon.

Did someone in this thread mention Trump? This is a thread making fun of Brian Kelly, something we should ALL be able to agree on, and you two nitwits couldn't wait to add your political garbage. Pathetic.
I wouldn't think you could work Clinton and politics into an LSU new coach thread, yet here we are. I love HROT.
I was just coming here to post this. How has he become so weird in just two weeks? I never liked him, but this is peak weirdness.
Doesn't always work ...

That reporter is unprofessional.
... and someone is on the hotseat. Screw that opportunist
And she recognized and apologized, so good on her. Move forward.
She had a cup of coffee with the gazette on the hawkeye beat, came across as a reporter with an agenda. Was nice to see her move on. She's young though, lots of time to improve, she may be a great one in several years.
It’s funny but yes maybe unprofessional, although she was just responding to his unprofessional joke especially since she wasn’t actually late. Also, if he wants to dish it out he better be prepared to get some thrown back at him, he’s not untouchable.

Oh yeah, excellent burn. And I know you guys will find this hard to believe, but my mouth got me in trouble a few times when I was a young reporter 🙂
