I don't want this to thread to turn into a smack session on who didn't do a good job of representing themselves, their school, and the conference with bad speaking skills. I just want to post this 2003 story that mentioned how Coach Rob schooled his players on etiquette and public speaking. Our players and students are representatives of our schools and it's important that we train them on the "social graces" and encourage them to have good communication skills. Check out this link and story that mentions Coach Rob.

Mayer: Tangerine Bowl in Orlando worthy fruit of Jayhawks' labor

I always admired Grambling football coach Eddie Robinson for tutoring his guys in English, table manners and general social graces. Wonder why more coaches don't notice the horrid grammar so many of their kids use in TV interviews and make efforts to do away with such junk as "we was," "we have went" and "they have ran" or "it's never gonna get no better." Aren't they there for an education?
