For the sake of the University of Houston football program, I am hoping that head football coach Art Briles had his tongue placed squarely in his cheek during his weekly radio show Wednesday described by Chronicle sportswriter Richard Justice:
“OK, there’s no requirement that your local college football coach has to read the New York Times Book Review.
But shouldn’t he know something.
UH’s Art Briles went on the radio Wednesday and just about made a fool out of himself.
When he was asked if this week’s game with Southern Miss would be cancelled, he said he hadn’t heard anything about it. He also said he hadn’t heard anything about a hurricane.
If I’m the president or athletics director at UH, I’m wondering if this guy might have a little too much tunnel vision.”
Even if you assume that he doesn’t watch TV, read newspapers, listen to radio, or surf the Internet, you would think that Rita would come up in some of his everyday conversations.
He must live under a rock.
