Texas Players Mocking Charlie Strong’s Short Stature Will Probably Pay The Ultimate Price
10 years ago

University of Texas head football coach Charlie Strong is a lot of things, but “tall” is not one of them.

Strong had his opening week press conference on Monday, and some of his players took it as an opportunity to poke fun at their coach for his “booster” stool. It was all in good fun, but Strong will likely brutally destroy each of the players who RT’d this tweet in practice this week.

Freshman five-star LB Malik Jefferson:

OL Connor Williams:

Detroit Lions DB Quandre Diggs:

Man, I know Charlie Strong is short, but that picture must be an optical illusion or something because he looks like an actual midget. Online sources tell me the 55-year-old ball coach is somewhere in the 5-foot-7 range — not that there is anything wrong with being a little shorter than everyone else, and Strong definitely makes up for his lack of height by being a freak athlete.

Even if I was on good terms with Strong, I probably wouldn’t be openly teasing him about his height. That’s a good way to find yourself doing about 500 extra up-downs at the end of practice.

    You literally wrote less than 200 words in that article and it was horrible. I understand that “doing more with less” pretty much sums up your life but for fuck sake make an effort.

    I’m thinking Intern wrote this one, maybe Boulevard. Any other suggestions?

    You’re not even reporting that Strong did anything newsworthy to his players!
    You’re speculating, sounding like an ass hole, and driving away fraternity men that actually bring you revenue when TFM posts relevant and/or funny articles. If you couldn’t already tell, everybody here hates your writing. Do your career and TFM a favor and think for a fraction of a second about relevance to 18-22 year old FRATERNITY MEMBERS before you post late-term-abortion-type articles like this.
    You are a sterling example of how journalism is being completely destroyed, you useless sack of excrement.

    I hope you’re future fat daughter is a lesbian and her girlfriend looks like the pilsbury dough boy. I also hope when they’re on they’re honeymoon in the trailer parks of San Mateo Beach (on daddy’s ONLY dime) they’re brutally attacked by a pack of ravenous coyotes. And live. Fuck you, you piece of shit. #blackballsteveholt.
